Very good.

That's right just ignore the problem, I'm sure it will go away.

Brexit voters inspired these people and vindicated their beliefs.  Well done.

Tarring 17 million voters with the same brush as 200 idiots is no better than saying all Muslims are terrorists.

If you want to make a point about something stop making such sweeping statements. Maybe then people will take notice on the odd occasion that you write something of worth.

Can May back away from this deal at this late stage? And should she?

she probably feels that mid honeymoon period she loses no face walking away from it. her adviser was publically very cricitical of it in late 2015

The critical consensus seems to be that there are more practical, less grandiose alternatives to Hinkley Point which can come online quicker, and without exposing our energy infrastructure to foreign powers (trickier post Brexit, perhaps).

if the Government is prepared to review top-tier projects in which the previous administration was heavily invested, might we see a change of direction on HS2?

Thing that crossed my mind was the French wanting to play hard ball with us about Brexit, reckon this might get thrown into the negotiation pot some way or another as its a good bit of business for the French.

Look at the stats Tighty posted - 80% of leave voters disapprove of immigration.  That is 14 million people.  You seriously think that its just "200 idiots"?

There's a big difference between disapproving of it and making racist attacks, I can see that as a remain voter, why can't you?

About three quarters of the uk population as a whole would like to see less immigration....

BUllshit.

These people needed no inspiration. They don't care about how others see them either.

It's time for people to get a grip and focus on where we are. You remind me of the numpties that walked around in the 80's wearing "Don't blame me, I voted Labour" shirts and badges.

It's rather weird to assume disapproving of immigration some how equates to racist attacks.

Tarring millions with the tag of racists due to a few hundred nut jobs is pathetic.

Doubleup really has lost the plot with his posts today.
