I doubt anyone on either side of the divide can honestly say they have the answer/s.
Meanwhile, Britain stumps up a further £44 million for Channel border security. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-42723401 |

At long last and hopefully they will lead to a resumption of some level of 'normality'. |

However when i create a situation on one certain "side of the divide", i should a) stay in office and take responsibility and b) have maybe at least one answer. But it is all a game, for them. And their pensions are solid. Not that Germany's politicians are any better right now.. :D |
True that :yep:

Society will develop a new kind of servitude which covers the surface of society with a network of complicated rules, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate. It does not tyrannise but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.
(...) Tyranny in democratic republics does not proceed in the same way, however. It ignores the body and goes straight for the soul. The master no longer says: You will think as I do or die. He says: You are free not to think as I do. You may keep your life, your property, and everything else. But from this day forth you shall be as a stranger among us. You will retain your civic privileges, but they will be of no use to you. For if you seek the votes of your fellow citizens, they will withhold them, and if you seek only their esteem, they will feign to refuse even that. You will remain among men, but you will forfeit your rights to humanity. When you approach your fellow creatures, they will shun you as one who is impure. And even those who believe in your innocence will abandon you, lest they, too, be shunned in turn. Go in peace, I will not take your life, but the life I leave you with is worse than death. (...) It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights — the 'right' to education, the 'right' to health care, the 'right' to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery — hay and a barn for human cattle. - Alexis de Tocqueville - |

I hope those who voted for her can see her for what she really is, an appeaser with no backbone and the morals of a bleeding alley cat, I'll bet the tory voters were wetting themselves at the prospect of having another Maggie Thatcher on their hands but instead they've got this hunt. Hmmmmm, I've spelled that last word wrong. |
