Where to now
I do not intend this to be in any way a political post but am asking the question since the 2 to 1 defeat in the Commons, 'where to now'.
It has often been said when the going gets tough the tough get going.
As far as I can see when the going got tough Cameron had it away on his toes leaving a poisoned chalice for some one to pick up.
Our news here in Oz today is all about the failed vote last night, biggest ever, and where to now.
I ask this because from what we hear here from all your 'experts', none of them have a bloody clue.
Is it true that since the first referendum the 52% for has grown to around 60 to 65% or is that just the media?
Must say that some of the protesters from either side do make for good viewing with all the banners and comments from them.
Almost as good as some of the soap operas, this could be London's answer to Coronation street.
We wait with baited breath for the next episode.
Will the confidence vote get up, will there be a general erection, will the PM survive, what will happen in ten weeks time.
Will BoJo get the job, will the opposition leader get pushed out, what will Junkers do?
Of course each episode of this comedy will be interrupted by the usual adverts most of which may well be of more interest than the story line.
Just realized lads this is the Whitehall Muppet show with a caste of thousands, some white folk too so I am told.

Re: Where to now
In reply to: Suggest you read the first line again.
There really should be no argument, the first line is fine.
The rest is not only political but, will lead to more problems
that caused the ban.
A site rule is a site rule.
