We had unions, workers rights, the Shops Act, The Factories Act an Equal Rights (for women ) Act and a lot of other stuff ensuring decent working conditions before we went in the EEC. I see no reason why we will have worsening work conditions now.
Philippa - do you mean he's up ***t creek without a paddle?....
Quite so fidget. I also had to laugh at the ludicrous knee jerk reaction of some wumman with a one year old son who got her knickers in a twist because he was being subjected to this decision about his future that he had no say in....
Don't remember anyone giving a toss about my thoughts ( or those of my peers ) on the subject back in the seventies - and I was a lot older than one.
Welcome to the real world love....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thought I'd seek some solace in the GW forum and have found Brexit is here too
Thinking I might stay off Twitter, Facebook, Internet for a few weeks until everyone takes a breath and realises the world hasn't ended, everyone's opinion is ok even if not aligned to our own - we are a democracy - and we had a democratic vote, whichever way you voted it was so close one side 'lost', but that's democracy and why we love the UK. Between my group of friends some of us voted in or out in equal measures, and we still get on
I don't look at Faceache or any of the other social media sites (or whatever they're called) but you're right wildflowers - nobody died, and we should be grateful that, for all it's faults, we still live in a democracy

On facebook today: "I'm half German will I get sent back there, maybe they won't take me because of the english half.......in all seriousness..........*facepalm*
Somebody obviously took her aside and banged her head against the wall for an hour because the post was erased a while after.
Fidget - you really need to have a look at TTIP & CETA and see what they will do to trade and working conditions.
The banana thing is a red herring perpetrated by red top tabloids. I buy curvy bananas in bunches as big as 7 or 9 if I want that many. One thing at least, your local, regional and national jobsworth is not going to be able to blame their zeal and obtructiveness on the EU any more.
You'll still have the same bozos running things.
Time to look at the big picture of what is to come and not lose yourselves in minor trivialities.
