Now a curious mix at last Night at The Proms. Everyone is singing 'Land of Hope and Glory' while waving a mix of Union Flags and the EU flag....... Wonderfully British!

Interesting contrast this evening - watching Last Night of The Proms, complete with Union Flags etc, and reading reports of the march in London. Both sets of participants would claim to be patriotic, I'd hazard a guess patriotism means more to those inside ......

I wonder if Farage will come back with: The 60% is the will of different people, so they don't count. We only count the opinions of those from 2016 whom we agree with ......
52% voted for Brexit. "It's the will of the people!" - Farage.
But 60% of Brits now want a closer relationship with Europe.
Times and attitudes have changed. So should our relationship with Europe.
The only people standing in opposition to the "will of the people" today are the Tories & Reform.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I wouldn't claim to know much about the Chagos Islands and the ramifications of the deal, but it's quite reassuring to feel there's no question that the Government will abide by a temporary High Court injunction when you consider what might happen elsewhere .....

I appreciate that I use English and Trump uses Americanese, but if you have 'given' something away- like the Panama Canal - how can you take it back?

'Government efficiency' sometimes is seen as an oxymoron, but my experience with the DVLA has proved to be the opposite. Sold my car on Tuesday, went online Tuesday evening and transferred ownership. Today in the post I received a cheque for the car tax refund. Not bad after 2 working days!
