As I've said before, I've never believed Brexit was going to happen.

And, after tonight's vote, it looks less likely than ever.

Sad and depressing reading:

Is anyone going to Ripon today? If you are you may want to stagger your journey as there could be up to 68 people on the March for Brexit so if you'e thinking popping into Greggs , you may want to give yourself a three minute delay window as a hanging basket outside a pub has also fallen down and is yet to be swept up , so please take care.

I didn't get anywhere near reading it - because the bastards wanted to charge me £1 for the privilege! :O

I read it for free you must have pressed the wrong option, go back and check as its not a bad read

I'm not being given any options - just a screen blocker and the offer of a one-month trial for £1.

bastards!

I got it from a post on Facebook, if that's any help

Here's the Wikipedia article about Nick Cohen the writer of the above article.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Cohen

Ah, well if you are into conspiracy theories about brexit:

As a result, millions believe that Brexit is failing not because it was a doomed project but because an evil elite is subverting the people's will.

:O:O

Today is the anniversary of the death of Richard Beckinsale.

In my mind, he departed this life a few years ago.

In fact, it was FORTY years ago!

Can you believe it?

I'd never have thought that, but you always know these things so it must be true.

I drove to Sunningdale when he died but never saw where he and Frances de la Tour lived together, mainly because they didn't live together but I didn't know that at the time.

I also drove round the campus of Reading University in 30 seconds before returning home to listen to Rod Lucas (who later turned up surprisingly on a BNP list) playing Three Times a Lady for the seventh time. That was BBC Radio Medway.

It was also the days when the EUs wasn't the EUs and there were only nine countries in what it was. I do feel that Parliament has changed from being a great sitcom to a terrible one but then I found out today that even the tulip fields of Lincolnshire have gone along with most of the old football stadiums.

So have a lot of people. It's all "show us the colour of yer money darlin'" (that woman in EastEnders was ahead of her time - I couldn't fancy it) and if it isn't that it is "so I was like Stormzy and so he was like no way so I was like you fetishisize democracy and he was like so use your smarts on Halcyon Days at 6-1, babe. Like."

Hey, I'm a 23 year old woman like you and we have the speech uniform which is not to speak properly and be as hard as nails, ha ha ha ha. Except I'm not and it gets on my bleedin' nerves. And I had only just passed my test and been given any sort of licence.
