But the next 18 months are going to make or break a few political careers and possibly the country.
When will 50% say we were wrong to leave ? A second referendum will be unstoppable then.
And expect the terrorism category to rebound in April.
The ABC1 grouping is largely a reflection of sending so many younger people to university and therefore heavily into office based work.
It's worth noting that the same generic set who are pro-Remain are the same as the ones who are pro-Sindy. Under 35s, in the main. It's anti-conservatism materialising in whatever form is meant to oppose it.
Reminds me of the post GE2015 leftwing breakdown over the Tory victory. But worse.
The hospital in question is in 'special measures'.
Have to say I'd rate it as 7/10, maybe a little higher, and would generally commend the facilities and the staff, both clinical and support. The publicity reminders that treatment was not free for everyone were very evident.
It was much improved on my last trip inside back in 2005.
It's strange how the actual interactions can seem very different from the overriding political narrative. I no longer trust anything that I don't see with my own eyes, or those from my immediate circle, where NHS commentary is concerned.
I brung you a massage: The Proom Monister has truggered Broxit - Meek Smithson is not very hippy!
...given the UK has access to the Single Market until 2019, businesses will likely react by stockpiling inventories in anticipation of the UK possibly having to trade under WTO rules after being removed from the European Union. Additionally, consumers may bring forward consumption before tariffs are potentially placed on imports coming into the UK. Consequently, short-term economic growth may be boosted over the course of the next 12-18 months, provided real incomes aren’t squeezed too much by rising inflation and stagnant wage growth.

Insults are no substitute for an argument, and cost you votes when the chips are down.
The Remain option of a semi-detached niche, outside Schengen, outside the eurozone and not signed up to ever closer union, is no longer on offer. The Remain coalition has fractured. We either choose
1. EU membership probably on very different terms from those we had enjoyed
2. EEA membership
3. Keir Starmer's version of the EEA with a negotiated "fair management of migration"
4. Whatever Teresa May manages to negotiate.
Whatever is the case, the Remain coalition no longer exists.

I agree.
There are conventions governing salutations in official correspondence, which Mrs May will have followed very carefully.
FWIW, investment in the Nabavi wine cellar has indeed been brought forward in anticipation of higher prices later!
It looks like we've heading to:
(a) divorce settlement, long-term high-level framework and transition agreements agreed by March 2019
(b) transition period of 3 years under ECJ rules, as appropriate, with long-term deal details finessed and agreed by March 2022
(c) permanent deal kicks in March 2022 - along with initial trade deals (Auz and NZ should be bankers and US as a stretch) kicking in
..to me.
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would my friend

There is an argument that the MPs should all collectively resign 'to put the matter beyond question', and fight simultaneous by-elections across all seats.
I was just thinking of the underpants thread from a few months ago!
I would expect terrorism to move back up again next time round.
Given the minging nature of Leavers over underpants, I reckon Leavers don't flush
We now have to sit back and wait for events to unfold. If the electorate come to the conclusion, as shown in the tracker, that we have made a terrible mistake it will be up to UK and Euro politicians to handle that.
Unfortunately, this will be in a different part of Town to the pb.com do. But I wish everyone well who attends.
Special hat-tip to Mortimer for taking the lead in organising this, and persevering with doing so.
The only part of the UK that may struggle is Scotland because of the continual miserabilism of the SNP.

And, Mr Herson, that’s a bit hard on the servants. After all they’ve got to get up early to light the fire.
Britain will become a backwater, sour and introverted. The challenges of globalisation will hit it still harder than they would have done as the country is constantly distracted for years by needless rows with its closest neighbours and trading partners. The country has been taken over by fifth raters with a manic obsession. Their failures will be blamed by their fellow fruitcakes on the EU.
Immigration will come down because the brightest and best will opt to go elsewhere rather than work in a country which has a devalued currency and makes its dislike of immigration plain.
My feelings about this are fairly simple. I'll be ok, but I feel pity for the people who will be shafted by this act of egregious stupidity and contempt for the people who have persuaded themselves that dealing with the complexities of the 21st century is just too much of a chore.
Brexit - Are we nearly there yet?
But I do wish you'd stop using the phrase "swivel-eyed". Every time you do, I lose a little bit of respect for you.
