@barry_halverson You vote for an individual representing a political party, if you don’t share that party’s ideology your vote counts for nothing. Other countries construct govt based on the people’s actual wishes not a confected beauty contest. Those countries are wealthier, happier & more free.
@oscarhero1801 Boris was voted in, really the morons deserve every bitter humiliation that’s coming. Delusions die hard and, oh boy, the gammonate have booked a broiling.
@danielmgmoylan@DavidHenigUK Oh, what happened??! Was another world beating trade deal signed or did doctors discover the health benefits of swimming in poo? Or perhaps a long-lost tribe of HGV drivers was discovered? Go on - we’re all agog…
@Nick4Norreys They’ve had 30 years, indeed it was the justification for privatisation, and instead they did the minimum necessary to comply with EU regulation and now they don’t even have to do that.
@tshirley44 Er, no and er, self-evidently no. Btw, how is an internal customs border compatible with this new found sovrinteee? Asking for a govt of knaves and fools.
@joe_armitage Drivel. Surely your offshore employers expect better than this? You’ll be telling your ageing readership that swimmming in turds has unexpected health benefits next…
@sparkotronic It’s both, i.e. worse than before. We won’t rejoin because the goldilocks conditions we had are no longer possible, our best bet is regulatory alignment via membership of the SM & CU, that will stem the bleeding although it won’t fix everything. Much more pain is likely first.
@sparkotronic Very few voters understood the issues or what was at stake, which is why a tory clique and their offshore funders pushed for such a referendum. You’ll notice they don’t shriek for referendums and the ‘will of the people’ to prevail on such issues as a wealth tax or voting reform.
@sparkotronic No, a small majority of a minority of the U.K. voted in an advisory referendum for a pack of well funded lies. As you’re so keen on facts n’ all. Going well isn’t it?
@PennyMordaunt You missed out a fact. Water privatisation took place in 1989, not yesterday. That’s 32 years, of which 19 have been under Tory or Tory-dominated govts.
Why haven’t the water companies used their profits to take the steps you describe as being required long before now?
