Some interesting points : If the issue was too important for the public to vote on, what issues are they allowed to vote on? Sorry to state the obvious but they do select the governing party at general elections. Is that issue small enough to be …

I know it's hard but imagine if SF had never been made. Imagine that none of us had seen it. With it's themes of "old ways are the best", "hire me or fire me", "he's lost a step", "old dog, new tricks", etc etc, it would be IMHO a perfect send off f…

Are Labour forgetting that many of its own supporters voted to leave? All parts of the political establishment seem determined, by hook or by crook, to keep us in despite the result of the vote. Meanwhile, John Harris was one of the few journos…

Within any story, when your hero rides off into the sunset with their heart throb, (whether it's on the back of a horse or in an an Aston) that is the fairy tale ending with the emphasis on ENDING. "And they all lived happily ever after." SP has don…

We often forget that Bond is undercover and he is meant to blend in. I much prefer a low key ending where, after the mission is completed, he just walks away and disappears into a crowd. I know this is not traditional re older Bonds but, somehow wit…

I'm a keen reader of the Guardian even though their Brexit stance is the opposite of my own but it's healthy to read others opinions. Something they do regularly is mix up the decision with the execution. Most other countries around the World have p…

In or out is, by defintion, a yes or no question. I'm not sure how else it could have been done. The "important issue" was do we leave or stay. I think the Conservative party are terrified of a Labour gov and will go anything to stay in power (as…

"why shouldn't the electorate change their mind once they see that the circumstances are different from what they thought they were the first time" Who are we to judge what the electorate thought? There is no single electorate, there are millions…

Many people calling for a second vote are doing so for their own reasons on the issue but missing the point concerning the erosion of the democratic process and the erosion of trust in that process. In the long term, retaining a broad consensus with…
-
Well, the internet was awash with well written "pro and con" reports but I agree, it was mainstream media and politicians who dialed the rhetoric up to eleven on both sides. (still are doing so) Sometimes, voting with your heart is the best thing…
-
@DarthDimi cheers, just to add, if anything, the situation is getting worse re how we are spoken to by the "powers that be" "the peoples vote" is the perfect example. Can you think of a more childish, patronising phrase that has been created in a…

"Farage and co appealed to chauvinism, nostalgia and fear;" Where as the remainers never used fear as their leverage? Both sides used fear (its a powerful tool) Both sides used promises (Cameron promised to stay and negotiate if we voted out, tha…

Still the issue with Brexit is the lack of genuine, rational, adult debate. Too many sweeping remarks, childish jibes etc etc (on both sides). "ugly men" being a perfect example. How does that help?

"except for citizens of other EU member states." Hence not full control. Full: not lacking or omitting anything; complete. "a full range of sports facilities" synonyms: comprehensive, thorough, exhaustive, all-inclusive, all-encompassing, al…

Defining likely is the thing. Many said a similar question re losing the pound and going with the Euro and yet, with hindsight, we were well out of that. We will have full control over immigration, thats for sure (not likely) and IMHO, thats a go…

Yes, agree, appalling lack of talent on all sides. At a time when we need a truely great leader, we will be getting a poor one, from any of the parties.

She was a very average Home Secretary and there was no evidence to support the idea that she would be a good PM. She kinda fell into the job and was the best of a bad lot. We have yet to see the long term effects of her in-action.
-
It's hard to find one decision, one project, one speech within May's term as PM that you can point to as something good, something that has worked, something that she can be proud of. She is just awful and yesterday was just another car crash. Me…

yes, the humdrum provides ways for a hero to show their training and improvisation. This happens in Boune alot and something that Bond could learn from. Everyone has a different opinion but I would prefer to see Bond get his way of of a tight situa…

Just ordered the DVDs for True Detective Season 1. Looks impressive.
-
Something relatively new is the developement of PMCs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_military_company) and these offer great potential for abuse by the owner/villain. Be good to see Bond go undercover within one of these.

Atkinson enters at 1.20, then there is a lovely part on RM, then Atkinson is interviewed in the studio later....
-
Atkinson was on the One Show this evening together with his own red Aston. He did a great interview including being very honest about his efforts in NSNA. There was also a great little mini tribute to Roger Moore.
-
Another angle (remember Ronin?) would be to have a bad guy who invented a back story as cover including being in the SBS and Bond spots holes in his back story as Bond was actually there.
-
If it's true that Craig's Bond was in the SBS, it would be interesting to use this in the plot somehow. Perhaps ex colleagues who went down the "private military contract" route or see Bond use his survival skills when in a tight spot.?
-
If you look at business, government (May is a remainer lets not forget), the civil service, large institutions (Bank of England), etc etc, the "establishment" wants to stay in. I do question whether the whole leaving process has been carried out so …

I was in the UK working in an office and my boss asked me to find a TV. I hooked up an old portable in a meeting room and the two of us just watched in silence for about an hour or so. She was on the verge of tears but did not want to be seen crying…
