I was definitely referring to the B subject. Abhorrence of racism is definitely appropriate here and I hope on all other threads. @Dovefromabove I wouldn't mind a slice of that soda bread too with an unhealthy amount butter and prodigious amounts of raspberry jam. Bagsy the crust.😋
Wholemeal soda bread is my "go to" for when I need something comforting to have with soup and then marmalade and salty butter afterwards.
pressed the button to open the bedroom shutter this morning and something went click then the motor whirred and the shutter just sat there. Humph! Job for OH this pm. Apparently there's some riveting golf on TV this morning. As if.

you said '... It's no different to if you vote for one party and another gets in.
Complaining about not liking the result isn't going to change
anything. As a matter of interest, what previous 'people's vote' are
you referring to? The only other referendum I recall was to join the
Common Market / European Community. There was no referendum on the
massive changes brought about by the Maastricht agreement if that's the
stuff you refer to....'
I'm not complaining about not liking the result at all. The country voted to leave and we're leaving - I'm fine with that - that was democracy. BUT, my opinion on Europe and Britain's position in the world hasn't changed. And I also then don't like the dross the 'exit' people still want me to accept as being their version of 'true' (as it appears nowadays that 'truth' comes in so many varieties)..
And what is actually true - ie Farage being eligible for an x% salary pension from an organisation that he spent his political life trying to disassociate Britain from - rankles.
And Michael Gove using implication to insinuate that the EU was in someway responsible for the demise of mining and manufacturing in the north and the north being ignored by the political machine,was just blatantly wrong.
In this new 'just accept it and get on with it' has it become like the Ministry of Truth where you can't then challenge what is potentially wrong?
As for the previous referendum - that's the one. Not sure what point you're trying to make.
Not trying to make any point, simply asking for confirmation about which previous 'peoples vote' you were referring to. Personally, I don't believe much that any politician says. I certainly don't believe we will be in a land of milk and honey from here on in, and neither will the EU. The UK's net contribution is/was greater than the combined total of the 18 smallest nations so that is going to hurt. All we can hope is that the politicians on both sides of the Channel get on with achieving a trade agreement and don't get stuck in their respective bunkers.
