So much for parliamentary democracy

I agree, the world has changed. All we can do is try to show compassion and be good to others and ourselves. People are full of delusions, and when you have people with delusions and arrogance it is a bad mix.
I meditate a lot, it is wonderful for equanimity and peace. There is no such things as the past, only a memory and with delusions of it. There is no such thing as tomorrow, and there never will be. There is no such thing as the future, it is just an idea. All there is, is the eternal now. All there is, is the present. Meditation puts one in control of this, and continued practise of stopping the ceaseless chatter in ones mind gives a glimpse of reality, the eternal now. No past, no future, just now.

Disturbing reports from @StJosephsSlough where students have blown the whistle on rampant anti-Brexit bias. Teachers have allegedly told youngsters to back a second EU referendum and mocked Boris Johnson - while telling the kids to look up to serial truant Greta Thunberg. Wow!

Says it all really!

David Cameron has recommended a second referendum and he was the one who did this. Is David Cameron peddling bias?

No, David Cameron is a posh kid who messed things up and is unable to take full responsibility for it, so blames others. Boris bashing seems to be a national pastime just now and having a go at him serves nothing other than raising the profile of his book.

Quite an unusual view for here, however, a nice way to approach things mostly. The only thing I would say is that your perspective has been gained from experience, something our kids have yet to achieve.

He can get out of the car, in which the door he opens falls off and then he can start making shapes out of balloons for the television cameras. And that is all he does, he has no plans, nothing. He has a long history of making a very very expensive mess out of everything he is in charge of.

Its nice to see you all making sensible, unbiased comments. 
Unlike the last Labour government, The PM hasn't left the country with a mountain of debt, and nothing in the coffers.  
Some people have a very short memory. Why do you think so many people don't want a Corbyn government?

Boris wasted millions when he was mayor of London. Now he is promising billions of extra spending money and tax cuts for the rich even though there is no explanation as to where this money is coming from. Even his own brother and sister realise that he is a lying egomaniac with no interest in anybody or anything but himsel

Did they tell you that in a conversation? if not shut the fuck up.

Some of Johnsons, or rather whats left of Johnsons advisors remind me of Jafar from Aladdin.

I've told you a hundred times why I voted to leave. You disagreed.

Let's not do the same dance.

I must have missed it. Could you please post a link to just one of these 100 occasions.

Hillarious that remainers have spent years suggesting leavers are "obsessed with the racist British empire."

But they just cheered guy verhodstadt at their conference calling for an EU empire.

Did remainers know what they were voting for?

Shocking choice of words, the empire is a stain on our national conscience and he should know better.

Theres some truth in the notion that economically, Eu countries are only going to be effective when working as a unit rather than individuals though given the scale of America, China or India.

He believes in an EU superstate. An empire. 

The remain party applauded him as if he was a god. 

The accusation of empire infatuation against leavers has clearly been misplaced.

I'm no fan of the Lib Dems or their position on Brexit I think they're as bad as the right-wingers who've taken over your party, we need compromise not extreme positions.

But I do stand by my point, poor choice of language but correct on an economic level.

Its all gone to rat shit, and no matter how much we try to justify, or even predict future Brexit moves, I feel that at the end of the day, nobody will be happy with the final outcome.

We won't leave, ever.

To be fair, I think you said that the day after the referendum.

I did. I was right then and I'm still right.

Hillarious. The party of the EU has decided that after three years bleating about democracy and giving the public another say have decided not to bother. 

Well just ignore the vote and cancel it

What are they afraid of? Democracy? Femi will be crying into his chai latte and smashed avo this morning.

Btw. Who funds him.

Impossible to deliver something based on a pack of lies. May should have fronted up instead entertaining the fantasies for two years.

All elections are run on a pack of lies too.

I don't think we should implement the results of them either.
