First of all I thought "I wish I could make money by writing b*****s like that. Then I looked at the byline - Boris Johnson. Enough said

[Chantal]

I know just where you're coming from Alan

Whoever it comes from, the sentiment is right. We deserve a referendum to let the unelected bureaucrats know what we think. We used to be a nation that could speak its mind, a nation with the greatest sense of humour in the world. Our grandchildren will never know what they are missing.

Boris J is a nutter.

imo...

[richard p]

at least boris is a genuine nutter, most of the rest of our politicians are either 2 faced lying b.... s or as much use as a chocolate tea pot... in my humble opinion

Would anyone enlighten me when it actually was that we moved from being a Democracy to a Dictatorship?

Boris may be a scruffy Herbert but I think he often talks a lot of sense.

Do you remember those car stickers we had yonks ago when we had the first Referendum to join the EEC. "Keep Britain in Europe" I think they said. I wish some organisation would produce a second batch saying "I want a Referendum".

I'm not sure the EEC has done our farming and agricultural industry any favours over the years. I wish we could refer back to Europe simply just being a free trading zone?

as far as i can remember ted heath took us into the common market or the eec (european economic community).. why has this become the eu (european union)? now it aint the same organisation that we wus dragged into.
