I wouldn't really be surprised if that poll actually isn't far off the mark. Despite the distaste many seem to have for Boris, he does seem to be offering the quickest resolution to this purgatory we're currently in, for better or worse. I think most folks now just want a resolution one way or the other, and the sooner the better. I think party politics are taking second place, as we see how actual day-to-day politics have become so paralysed over this whole affair, as the media and other commentators seem to just want to continue to drive a wedge ever deeper and more firmly into the middle of society in the UK.

f..k off BBC with your Crxp.

Up and down the land, children will go sobbing to their beds for want of out of season broccoli and green beans.

And today's narrative of doom says bin lorries will have to drive north and tip London's rubbish in a layby somewhere.

Apparently this is because the channel ports will be too congested to send it to Holland or Sweden to be burnt. Or something.

You have to wonder who is dreaming this stuff up - and why.

Lots of people with their snout in the EU trough, who are either too lazy or too mediocre to come up with another way of lining their pockets.

That's good. All these jobs that pay the absolute minimum and rely on tax credits to boost them up to a decent standard should go, and they won't with a labour pool of east Europeans forcing the wages down.

No. The cost of services has been kept artificially low for over a decade. Even without brexit potentially turning off the cheap labour tap the communuty social service sector will still be in crisis. The issue is not just cost its the cost in terms of quality and scope of service provision when service providors cannot retain as well as recruit staff. To give sime perspective, in the year 2000 i was paid the equivalent of £22000 per year plus extra money for sleep over shifts and was able to enrol in the local authority pension fund. I workef in a team that wad stable and had an average level of experience measured in many years with some colleagues with decades of experience. The same job today will be around £16000 with only a basic pension and working in a team with the majority of colleagues being very inexperienced and temporary or agency. Its a mess.

So now it will increase, but it will be a good increase which the customers will pay with joy, right?

The customer is the local authority. The general public has been bulls#itted for years over the real cost of social services. Poor standards have been hidden beneath layers of box ticking so called quality inspection and "standards" legislation and now the whole lot is in crisis.

My wife works in a private care home of 24. Bearing in mind this is a care home and not a nursing home, I would say less than half of the residents have any real quality of life.

If it was me, I'd call a vet to put me to sleep rather than live like that and see any money put by for my kids disappearing at the rate of £800+ a week.

Seriously, Euthanasia has to be legalised in the not to distant future.

We'll send someone over when your ready.

Of course due to continuing austerity measures a painless death cannot be guaranteed. However a claw hammer to the back of the head is quite effective and usually quick. You will also have to provide a lime filled pit at your own expense.

I could go and sit in a park in Tottenham for that to happen.

And the solution to it should be? Perhaps spending tax billions on airlifting medicines? Or kicking out good value for money workers?

Who's going to do that? Where's it been said that there's the intention to do that?

Are you just making things up again, like you seem to have been when you wrote this:

So what is the source of that quote? Did you make it up yourself, or not? Where's the source for your claim above (bold, underlined)??

Let's have a decent answer!

Or you could just say if you made it up, and apologise.

A new approach, a realigning of priorities, a kick up the arse. EU, GE and local elections were changing nothing so when the referendum came along the majority voted for significant change. You can argue all you like about how damaging you imagine that will be in the short term.

Yes, good value meaning they have about as much experience of looking after someone as they do of adjusting the valves on your bike. But for minimum wage they would happily have a go and might even bung in a brake overhaul for good measure.
