I didn't even know it had become a thing. Speaking as one of the 65,750,000 visitors who didn't attend, I'd be bound to say that one, teeny weeny, reason for that was a complete ignorance of any actual happening of stuff. Perhaps that's because there seems to be sod-all happening round these parts. That's a shame: I'd have enjoyed shunning them at the time, shunning them after the event is not nearly so satisfying.
 
One would hope this all makes it a lot harder for Banks to carry on his ongoing bullying campaign against Carole Cadwalladr.

I’ve removed a couple of potentially libellous comments as the Brexit funder in question is highly litigious and apparently specialises in punching downwards. Just not worth the risk.
 
I was interested to see in the Guardian (the article reporting on Truss saying it's OK for tax reform to benefit the rich more than the poor) that
"she wanted to remove some EU-based workers’ protections, for example on the length of the working week and entitlements to holidays. Truss has made plain her desire to change the UK in this sort of broad direction, based on lower tax and a smaller role for the state."

This may be news to those Brexiters who assured everyone here and elsewhere for years that the UK's worker protections are actually ahead of the minimum standards set by the EU's interfering busybody regulations, that the point of Brexit was certainly not to reduce worker protections in any way etc. etc. The Truss seems to have other ideas.

EDIT: spotted by the unions.https://www.theguardian.com/politic...ome-clean-over-plans-to-change-workers-rights It seems Truss' beady eye is on the 48-hour week.

With hind sight do you think it was right or wrong to leave the EU?

And it no longer matters a s**t because we are out now, like it or not. The irony is that those who voted for it are generally those who will pay the highest price. Well, that's what you voted for. You won, get over it.
