    Excessive use of technology leads us to believe that the real world is a virtual world, and anything can be undone and redone with a click.

    PS I wouldn't say: "It worked for Trump", just yet.

      Well I heard him today saying he is going to fight the establishment.
      He is already sounding like a cross between Trump and Farage.:snork:

        00000000000000000000000000001348What amazes me, is that, there are so many remoaners who don`t realise (seemingly) that now Article 50 has been triggered there is no turning back. We are LEAVING the EU and that is it. I will be voting for Theresa May, she is right to insist on a hard Brexit.

          I agree, Jiffy, but in this real world we know that what Politicians say, and what they actually do, are two different things. It's like taking a Lollipop out of a paper bag with your eyes closed............you have to suck it and see!!:dunno::heehee:

            Hi dai, I'm not sure that she is insisting on a Hard BREXIT, in fact I don't ever recall her mentioning a Hard BREXIT:scratch::doh: It's been the Media and her opponents, UK and EU, that have turned her words and stance into being a "Hard BREXIT".:dunno::doh: What she has said is that "no deal is better than a bad deal" and she has said that in order to tell the EU that she, nor the UK, is going to be pushed into a deal that is not good for the UK, and warning them that, if necessary, she will walk away from a intentionally bad deal. I think she's looking for the best deal for both sides of the "divorce" and trying to pressurise the EU into being even handed.:coffee::snorky:

              I heard him say that he wants to give the wealth and control back to the people. I can't think of a time when any Government, Labour or Conservative, did that for the people, even they may have professed at the time of wanting to do so.:dunno: He's sounds like a desperate man in a desperate situation.:coffee::snorky:

                  What about the proposal put forward that the Libs, Labour and Greens should co-operate in marginal constituencies and only put forward one candidate that all three parties will support?

                  Is it?

                  Or?

                    Yes, because all of those parties working together will agree a fantastic plan and deliver it without argument...

                    So the second piccy lol but I do like the idea of politicians having to dress as alter egos for campaigns

                      All politicians do is mislead and lie. Our current one included.

                      I think she is underestimating the hatred many have due to the last 11+ year the tories have given us. It's appalling it really is.

                      Problem is is that Corbyn is crackers. He really lives in a world of dreams and ideals we just cannot afford.

                            And this is how the phrase "never trust a politician " is applied every year :)
