All those people who voted for Brexit because they wanted to stop the immigrants must be loving this!

That's a myth. The Breixteers I know and served in my pubs and bars or just in my social circle. Not one of them mentioned immigration !

Maybe they didn't think they needed to. The one person in my wider family who has divulged which way he voted (in his 80s, used to live abroad) says he did so because of the immigrants, specifically Muslims. Before the referendum I also recall seeing posts from Brexit supporters on pro-EU Facebook pages (there often seemed to be more of them than pro-EU posters on some of these pages) expressing concern about immigration. In fact I can specifically remember one, a woman apparently living in rural Devon, saying her prime concern was immigration and when I questioned this, wondering why this would be a concern to someone living in Devon, she accused me of being nasty.



That's interesting example's, but I have heard immigration mentioned once. Maybe we have different social circles and networks

Great people with different coloured skin are way better for a country than red necked, white skinned bigots and fascists.

I'm still not aloud to live in and work in Australia.

Where's my ( white ) privilege ?


your history of bank robberies has worked against you. I told you not to put it on the form..we haven't welcomed convicts for over 200 years


I have Never robbed a bank Hedda.


Well now's your chance! Just slip your mask on and away you go.

During lockdown my partner volunteered in a homeless shelter, the number of homeless veterans is appalling. Serve Queen and country and discarded, many of them with mental illness and not getting proper treatment.


Thank you for this. Please spare a few quid for the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA) if you can. They helped me and were very kind.


Just want to second what Randall and GM have said. While not a vet myself an off shoot of my work means I am all too aware of the challenges and often lack of support for this group who have given so much for their country.

Should be much higher profile than it is.

What I use say to banned customers. "Don't forget hat or coat and close the the door behind you".

Those were the days.

Isn't it a pity that Hedda didn't publish in a daily newspaper, I would of been more than happy to sue. I wouldn't accept an out court offer either!

my Great Grandfather robbed the bank he was working for in Ireland but oddly was only in jail for 3 days.

His father, a teller, was shot dead in a bank with a shotgun at age 25 but I think it was over a personal dispute with a neighbor.

I'm not sure court documents submitted by a Mr. Hedda and Mr. Green Man would pass muster

The Marrakesh post? Or is something deleted?

Poor Barney. I hope you will reconsider, Mr King.
It may have been personal, and I know Barney can be needlessly combative, (I did not like the implication either) but I have seen some really and truly revolting things said here at times, yet the posts and posters have remained.

Yes it was the Marrakech post Honey; the straw that broke this camel's back; why allow lunatic brain deads to use this Forum?
