    1. 52:48 is far too close to apply to a permanent constitutional change - but Cameron was either too stupid, too party political, or too in thrall to the `Euroseptics to apply the normal requirements for referenda. They are NOT general Elections which only apply for a maximum 5 years.

    2. An EU judge has ruled that Article 50 is reversible and will cancel Brexit, provided it's not done for flippant, temporary or 'advantage in trade talks' reasons.

    I didn't think we HAD a constitution, but I agree- 52:48 result was an instant problem.

    Oh- as far as I remember, 'referendum' isn't neuter second declension, but a gerund, 'The asking'  which has no plural ending,

    so 'referendums' is likely ( jury is still slightly out) to be the correct plural English form.  Long time ago. ( Latin and my learning of it.  Another gerund there,....( I think)....)

    I suspect this might make a resurgence, but as for politicians being insulted for the sake of it, most people have better things to do.

    It's a great shame they aren't working jointly and constructively for the public good, preferring to play party politics as this is where their true allegiance lies. Greasy poles and all that......

    The ONLY reason I voted for Brexit ( I work all over Europe, so leaving badly could screw me up)

    was so that the morons at large in 'Government'  would screw up or be so blindingly self-serving that people would finally see them for what they are.

    .

    Churchill, Attlee, Thatcher -all were there when needed.

     

    Who is it this time?

     


  3. I presume that the watch wasn't the first object it encountered on it's travel from the muzzle.

    If it had passed through aircraft metalwork then it would have not been bullet-shaped, maybe flattened,

    and would have had much less kinetic energy,  so the the watch damage looks right to me.

     

    I've mentioned before the ebay charlatans that take a penny, hammer a punch through it, and jam

    an old ww1 bullet in the hole.  They should all be shot themselves.

    It's funny how the penny involved is worn out as if it was taken from change in the 60's.

    They can't afford to destroy 1916 bennies in UNC......

    By the way, this really is my job.  It wasn't supposed to be a joke.  I really am a parasite living on welfare and my wife's income.

    Been there.   You earned a rest, you paid your taxes , so why worry?

    Comedy and music were my crutches.

    Now you should do the little personal projects you've been putting off for decades.

    Get ready............

    You could call yourself   'Citronella Fitzgerald'.....
