Maybe people often mix with like minded people or going with the general consensus over conversation through peer pressure allied to my personal view that the like with the Scottish independence vote where the nationalism seemed nailed on the Brexit people are more vocal than the Remain people.

I've been stood in several groups with perfect strangers (apart from the wife) such as the queue at the airport departure gate, where Leavers have started a conversation about the referendum. The only people that joined in were those who agreed with them. Quite a lot of eye rolling though.

An unfortunate position for those people and no doubt the community.

However you're angry at this article about 20 Romanians living in a car park who have committed no crime and have only been complained about because they pester people for work?

No. As I said before there are probably groups like this all over the hockey. The one near me has tapped into the water and electricity supplies and pay nothing for either. The police ask them to move on and they just laugh. Been there years. The local tradesmen are not happy because they are losing work. These people pay no taxes and send the cash back to Romania or Poland or wherever. Certainly none of them come from Switzerland I'll bet.

A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourselves off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one

I fucking love my country, I love our tolerance, our optimism, our compassion, they tried to take it away from us, we said no thanks
I love being whatever you hate brigade want to call me

It's a wonderful day in the history of our great nation, that has shown the world the way forward, not for the first time, not for the last

Posted at 1335? Bit early for the Stella isn't it? All well and good posting the strength of you commitment to the Remain cause - but that seemed a bit OTT

I want Britain to be in charge of Britain, Germany to be in charge of Germany, France to be in charge of France, etc. I want those we elect to serve the interest of those who directly voted for them and can remove them if they are found wanting.

I want the EU to disappear and return the the trading area it was set up to be as the EEC. I want the UK and European 'partners' to trade with one another, reach sensible border agreements that do not hamper trading, migration and studing opportunities for those in the partnership, yet are also not open to abuse creating additional strains on government services paid for by the taxpayer. I do NOT want an unelected legislative body propose rules and regulations for 751 MEP's to debate over before they are accepted as law, governing over anyone in Europe.

I don't want the UK to be in charge of the EU (except we are going to be leading it in 2017) I don't want the UK to be "in charge" of anybody. Governments are supposed to govern, not rule.
The EU has far too much power and influence and I want it scaled back but they are refusing to relinquish what they've built up. This view is shared by millions of Europeans as well.

We can work on making our own elective process better in the UK, we can do nothing to reform or change the EU from within. More integration with the EU or less. I chose less, because I value co-operation with Europe as a continent of independent self governing nations, not a dictatorial super state.

Vice verse too, as in Scotland a lot of remainders are afraid of being cornered by a brexiter to be told of all the ills of the world being EU. Usually it is ghe status quo who keep quiet
