Brexit, for once some facts.

It was a widely misreported thing

But you can't expect Oxygen James to check for facts, now can you?

Where as nationalising worked brilliantly..

Correct as shown by the East Coast Main line!

Tangible effects of project fear... Producing shortages??

And remember this, it isn't "Remainers" creating this panic is it?
It's the Government again.
They have been threatening the public with shortages, so how are they expected to react?

Isn't it fascinating that when the Government supported remain it created a
storm of complaint from the leave politicians. over "Project Fear"

Now when we have a leave faction Government doing the same thing
And the ones who slagged off "Project Fear are using the same corny lines again!
"
Two years after Britain voted to leave, it is now a familiar refrain. “It has become clear that Project Fear – the scare-mongering campaign carried out by those who want to remain in the EU – is alive and well,” well-known medico-legal expert Iain Duncan Smith wrote recently. “Hardly a day goes by without another scare story about the UK failing to get medical isotopes.” And who among us, if they had cancer, wouldn’t turn to a failed party leader and benefits system botcher for advice, as opposed to, say, the BMA council chair, Dr Chaand Nagpaul, with his 28 years’ experience as a doctor and CBE for his services to primary care?

Behold the monster the Brexit vote is creating

They all look clean and tidy, nothing patched and clothes that fit, am I correct this was taken on a Sunday?
it looks earlier than the rationing years

Ha no!!!. They are fine. Her point was men lounging around, holding up the walls with their backs while smoking.

Don't know, it was a random unlabelled photo tripped over when looking for bicycle sidecar images. Judging from the bike age and much battered condition, fashions etc., I'd say this was taken in the 1940s or possibly very late 1930s.

I'd also guess from facial characteristics and builds it might conceivably have been in Ireland, hence my posting it in response to Danidl.

But it wasn't only leavers who have supported, even flecc did..

Probably a better childhood than now... Road would be packed, H&S would be chasing them and they, d probably all have ipods....sat indoors... Like us old gits...

 

[flecc]

I'd say definitely a better childhood than now. My childhood had many harsh aspects, but I'd never have had it changed to one of today's.

Fortunately today's kids are unaware of what they have been missing, particularly in terms of freedom.

Strange how these things change. Back in the 1930s and '40s they were jacks to me, meaning a common, ill mannered person. That had probably been around for a long time since my mother had used it since the 1920s at least. Later we replaced that with yobs or yobbos, until a whole variety of ever expanding terms arrived.
.

Yes and it’s easy to mistakenly assume that just because a word or phrase is in common use in a particular environment, that a wider audience will understand its meaning.

Could be.. on a Sunday the faces would have been clean . But bikes like that and those clothes would have been around in the 1950 s also. I would have remembered similar shop fronts. A 20 or 30 year old bike would have been commonplace in the 1950s . Indeed I still have what are now two 40 year old bikes..an early Moulton mid 1960s and a viscount aerospace from 1975. A few months ago I was talking to a person with a 1950 Rudge ,still in use.

My bicycle was the only independence I had in the 50s and 60s. Mother would never let me out on it on a Sunday in those days and I never got to find out why.

 

[OxygenJames]

I have already explained what happened and regardless it was all in English, so once again you fail.

I wrote that before you changed it. As brilliant as I am I do not have the ability to see accurately into the future - so GIVE ME A BREAK.

The 'government' lest you forget - is MADE UP OF REMAINERS.

Indeed, I was in the trade from 1950 on and there were only old bikes since almost all new production had to go for export to pay off our war debt. I'd been working for almost a year when we got our first new bike allocation, a Hercules roadster retailing at £12 .10 shillings.

Certainly , where would you like it?

True, the great majority of the oppositions too.

I wonder why that is? Strange that a nation that voted Leave subsequently voted in mostly Remain MPs.

Talk about hedging bets!

The political class has never been further away from the proletariat than ever before on this issue.

We want out. 90% want in.
