it does not matter to me the tone of your skin, never has, don't think it ever will be honest. It does not really bother me if you are male and you "like boys", well each to their own I say. Its never really bothered me either if you follow one religion or another (for the record i find them all daft) but if you follow it and don't force it on others then go ahead, do as thou wilt.

what I don't stomach are people who are still trying to block Brexit, after a referendum was so clearly won, we want to LEAVE, we voted to LEAVE, lets just LEAVE,

It's no longer about Brexit, I'm afraid.

We now have a battle between those who think that the country should be run on the basis of what the electorate as a whole vote for in the ballot box - a group which includes many people like me who voted Remain but accept the result of a democratic vote - and those who think the elite are entitled to over-rule the votes of the people because they know best.

I think those who want this country to remain a democracy will win, but it is not a done deal.
