Oh no!! Brexit not going quite as well as hoped

[cookiemonster]

Feel free to ignore it..

Crows are very bright, and curious, able to adapt to all sorts of environments, plus they're in possession of rather glorious plumage.

Who wouldn't want to be likened to a crow??

Anyhoo I am going away soon, passport bother notwithstanding, so must crack on with farm prep etc

He has been on ignore but I just wanted to see if ending his feud with @AndyRM had mellowed him a bit. Seemingly not as he's now got a new target, you I'm afraid.

Oh well if it draws fire from anyone who is in the remotest bit bothered by it, then I could see that as a service to the forum.

Flailing man-babies, are ten a penny, to be found anywhere and everywhere on t'internet..

And elsewhere, sadly..

You think us sturdy women of the web , haven't got used to taking no notice??

It's a test of mental fortitude though, and you can see why many people, women especially, feel excluded from online spaces.

We are still allowed to vote from abroad for up to 15 years after leaving. My vote, and the votes of millions of other UK citizens, were removed in 2016. My vote was finally returned last year, after 5 years. It is handy having a partner who is a barrister.

Oh abso-bloody-lutely..

Why should anyone have to waste energy on it.??
Or to feel they have to 'tough' it out.??

What's so great about being 'tough'...
Just another word for 'insensitive' or 'boorish' .

Like you say it excludes so many of the less self assured, the marginalised, the more vulnerable.
So we don't get to see or hear from them.

Just like in the real world, where many women don't feel safe in spaces where they fear encountering oafish (or worse) men..

Just cos I can deal with it, doesn't mean I should have to..

I'm the second witness to the truth of cookie's post. Despite it directly affecting me as an ex-pat I could not vote in the referundum. I understand the reasons for withdrawing the vote for general elections if you have been out of the country a long time (although I still pay tax!) but Brexit was different.

It wouldn't have changed the result if all ex-pats had been allowed to vote (I believe some 700 000 were affected), but it would have been much closer and possibly made it harder for the Johnson clique to make quite such a shambles of it.

Only 700,000? I read that it was more than that.

Fair enough.
