    Yep, that's because the Tories were terrible at the time. They'd disappeared up their own backsides in the early 90s after Maggie had been knifed in the back and took a while to sort themselves out after the non-shock of Labour's win in 97. Brown's massive borrowing and social spending bought them more time and a good war victory always helps, as per the Gulf War. Knowing what we do now, Blair would have only lasted one term.

    The issue of migration as far as Brexit is concerned is nothing to do with illegal immigration nor non EU immigration

    You see, this is the reason I'm gonna bring forward my new year's resolution to not look at the news any more.

    Let's face it, most of it is downright depressing; doing x,y or z means you're 20 times as likely to get cancer, awful tragedies befalling people, murder, rape, we're all going to hell in a handcart etc.

    Then there's the stuff that just annoys you - e.g. vacuous celebrities pontificating on various issues.

    What's more, the stuff that should be news isn't news.

    So, what's the point?

    I was thinking the problem is England does have culture but it is quite 'old' so yes going to the pub, watching cricket, rambling, cold days at the seaside etc etc etc.

    Those who do not like it obviously need to move to another country which does have the culture you like.

    Now I know for many of you who expect the world to change to what you want because you are mummy's special soldier this is a shock.

    But this time you need to put your big boy pants on and fu<k off

    The indigenous peoples of the UK are amongst the finest in the world. The diversity, ingenuity, braveness, intelligence and humour is unrivalled. But you have no culture other than getting hammered - which you are very good at.
    Young people don't like drinking. It's older British people who can afford to drink to get hammered.

    People in different areas of the UK like doing different things believe it or not.
