As the hysterical left weep into their lattes...

I think it would be better for all concerned if Nigel Farage retired from public life. While he continues to speak to the mainstream media with global coverage, he's perceived as the Donald Trump of the UK and that is a bad thing. Many outside the UK don't realise his politics were about a single issue. Donald Trump is a million times more dangerous than Nigel Farage could ever be and the sooner people stop likening them, the better.

I really think Libby Purves should be setting an example rather than using offensive and divisive language in the media. I would like to see respectful language used about people of different faiths or political beliefs. Let's hear more uniting language from journalists as the lovely Jo Cox tried to say. This country does not feel a very friendly place to be right now.

So much for him saying straight after Brexit that the job was done, and he wanted his life back and spend more time with his long suffering family. And immediately off his goes to the USA- probably handsomely paid to do so. I was glad to hear his say that Trump's anti-Muslim and ridiculous rhetoric about Muslims made him feel very uncomfortable- first sensible thing he has said for a very long time.

Hello everyone,
Is anyone still being shunned by friends/relatives for the way they voted? My older daughter is still annoyed with me to the extent that she thinks we have nothing in common and can see no way back for us.

amt that is so sad.

We had heated discussions with our adult children (despite all of us voting remain) because my OH felt that the EU needed a big shake up, but wasn't sure that voting out was the answer.

So the vigorous debate continues, but with no hard feelings.

So sorry Amt.how sad for you.Some very vigorous discussions amongst family and friends here in the immediate aftermath the Ref.DH ,myself and one DD and partner voted Leave,and 2 other DDS Remain. Amongst friends a mixed vote ,but all still getting good on and respecting each other,fortunately.Indeed the DD who was the most upset with the vote initially has almost done an about turn.She got increasing fed up with the 'hysterical' response on Facebook, Twitter etc.(her words)from her peer group,and one friend in particular who posted some very patronising and lecturing comments.Everyone I associate with on a regular basis seems to be taking the attitude that it's very early days,Leave or Remain there were issues we needed to address as a nation .And that some sort of a shake up,within or out of the EU and in politics in general was overdue.With a terminally ill family member ,only in her late 50s,we all feel life's too short for acrimonious discussions about anything tbh.
