Re: Does David Cameron regret the referendum...

Jon I think the quote by Abraham Lincoln really covers it and goes something like; " You can fool some of the people all of the time and you can fool all of the people some of the time but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. Cameron is suggesting Blojo and Gove conned a large nu...

Jackie The white paper also statès the vaccine isn't 100% effective that's the reasoning behind the reluctance of both the UK and the EU to use it, not bloody mindedness.

Please would you clarify what you "put up with", did it keep you awake at night; was it sovereignty, immigration, the European Court?

TD
I don't assume anything, I can read clearly what is written. Try re-reading your posts.

It's a pity you don't suffer my fears, there's every possibility the country wouldn't be in the mess it's in if you did.

Strangely there was a news article on Sky News just now about the UK becoming a "Scientific Exile" due to a lack of resources and future cooperation because nothing is in place to provide continuity after Brexit.

Re: Confused dot com

WHL I understand it's due to equipment and funding, most funding contrary to what Lincoln says comes from the EU. We may send a lot of money to Brussels but we get most of it back through grants and funding for schemes and projects like our daughter is working on. She could move to other projects wi...

Re: YellowHammer Docs releases

According to reports the document released was a redacted version of Yellowhammer, the original being 150 pages; we shall wait and see.
Andrea Leadson stated the government didn't wish to release it in case it frightened the public.

I read a similar article earlier today.
The problem is that many Brexiteers shout Project Fear and blame Remainers although the documents were part of an investigation done by their own leaders.
There's none so blind..........

Re: Bercow to stand down

I read today that Harriet Harmen is considering standing.
I like Bercow, some of his one liners and put downs were excellent.
He's kept control during a very difficult period and will be a hard act to follow.

Re: CCTV supply & install

WHL

I bought all the parts off Amazon, cameras, cables and box. The cables come in different fixed lengths and you buy the control unit to suit the number of cameras you want or buy one with extra capacity so you can add more cameras later.
