Let's talk historical human rights offences... let's also talk about modern day human rights offences and see which country has progressed on those.

History doesn't matter enough for you? All the people who died at the death camps not relevant enough?

Is that British death camps?... If you want to do history let's do history.

i don't think many, if any are disputing the outcome of the referendum, they just want due process followed ... thats my feelings on it anyway. We are going to be out of the EU, now lets get the deal that best suits all in our country

Isn't due process being followed according to the law? I think there would be some pretty fast legal challenges if it were not.

Plus there has been a month off for Summer so not much happening in public during that so a bit unfair to say that things have or not been done during that. Let's at least wait until things start going before the condemnation.

As to leaving tbh I do wonder if we should be striking a deal at all. The EU seems to want to make an example of us so I'd be inclined to part ways, make them pay their tariffs and pursue my own free trade club with anyone I want to. They don't have the exclusivity on free trade deals. There are many countries who manage just fine without the free market access.

Unlike the protestors who want to dismiss a democratic vote, no-one is saying they cannot "march for Europe" - they can do as they like but that doesn't stop us from laughing at them.

I'd say it was given fair coverage. I was driving home from work Saturday evening and it was featured on Radio 2's 6 o clock news and thats a 1 minute slot which only features 4 or 5 headlines. Its pretty common that protests are only given prominent coverage later on when its more clear how many were involved, what the circumstances were etc.

So would I but I think some just want to complain about 'the establishment' without any real substance on his particular subject.
