He’s never going to accept us being in the EU, but he won’t have the support to not be.

I don’t hold this country in very high regards, and even I don’t think we’re stupid enough to vote to leave again if we rejoined.

How many times do you need the EU to say that they want us back?

We’ve had ten years of leaves shouting at us to respect democracy when that democracy was almost 50/50. It would be a bit rich for them to then disrespect democracy when it’s two third in favour.

I agree somewhat, which is why I shared it alongside the original for effect.

It helps people understand why so many people died.

I note the adverts are on as the BBC’s launches its search for 500 Precocious Children again.

You should have included Truro. We’re so grateful for anyone who comes this far.

There’s a huge uproar about the Greek guy who paid £330m buggering off to Greece. His contribution is 0.03% of total tax take, so I’m sure we’ll cope.

Just speaking from the UK, the Dems just looks like a band of individuals in it for themselves. They don’t act as a combined opposition, like we have here. They should pull forward everything and select their best presidential candidate, and then start working together and drive the agenda.

BBC has Trump arse licker Sarah Elliot on today. This is the woman who’s husband was Chief Exec of Vote Leave which funnelled American money in. An atrocious woman.

The con is convincing low income people that they need a £200/a tax cut, because then they, the wealthy, will get £200,000.

Imagine being in a party where it’s the only thing you have to defend

That’s pretty much the response I gave.

They come and live by me in Cornwall, and pick all our daffodils. You’d think they’d be more open towards us

I watch Netflix free. Subscription to it is for mugs. I get one advert an hour.

The nation’s high street? That is a ridiculous thing to say. I’m in my sixties and I’ve never shopped there. It’s just a glorified high street in London, and nothing more.

I have a cousin who was in and out of prison for decades. He’d get arrested on purpose because prison was better than existing on the street. He eventually got rehab and is now cured, and lives an honest life, working hard, paying taxes.

They’re happy to build accommodation for criminals, but not for the homeless.

I’m 63% British, but taking everything into account I’m 100% European.

I’m in my 60’s, born here and lived here all of my life (almost), but even my English DNA is only 46%. There’s probably not a pure English person to be found alive.

Is this the guy who hates career politicians, literally claiming to be a politician with an improving career?

Uk here. It clearly means they want an army of gullible idiots who will do anything they are told and be excited to die.

That’s my point. Rather than having the EU ‘shackle us down’, those who can need to start selling the benefits of all in. I’ll start driving on the right when i get back from France tomorrow. 😉

There’s still work to do though. The 60% plus support for rejoin is based on UK getting all the same benefits and opt outs as before.

Can I just say how proud I am of you Naomi? You’re one of a small handful of people who’ve kept me sane and informed since Brexit. I’m sure your amazing leadership on this has been impactful, to get those voters onboard with a return to the EU.

Don’t blame me for explaining the definition of ‘millionaire’.

The pensioner loses nothing they have today, but may get a bit less after 2030, but to compensate they’ll get care. Bargain of the century.

This guy is a hero of mine. He sailed to Cuba to drop of $8000 of medical aid. Awesome channel, and a really good guy. Currently on the South coast of England. youtu.be/oFvdPsn2mfs?...

Ahh, so you expected Labour to have its own ERG, a home for fruitcakes?

Does this make sense to you @pimlicat.bsky.social? I’m not in Labour, but I see Labour member friends relentlessly doing what Matthew claims they are not doing.

Nooooo. Stop doing this. Instead, why not get thirty of them in a classroom, educate them on the policy, then ask them.

They aren’t millionaires, but half of them will be wealthier than the other half. My dad says he’s never been richer than he is now at 88 with his state pension.

Everyone getting a pension will still get one, and it will never be less than it is now. Storm in a tea cup.

Anyone with cash and assets worth a £1m is a millionaire. This whole thread started with a claim that 25% of pensioners are millionaires, so, no, not just one.
