That sums up your contributions to AB to a T, Gull.

[ichkeria]

I’d have to agree I’m afraid.
On mottos, ours was “Heos hemera estin” which gulliver will translate ... :-)

// Any MP who defies his constituents should lose their seat. But people are fickle and tend to vote for the same person or coloured rosette regardless.//

they are representatives not delegates -that is they can have their own views and in fact they cant be delegates as they dont represent the losing side

chrissakes

and everyone who remembers the hanging debates 1965 will remember that virtually the whole population wanted the death penalty for rape.
You can say that for homosexuality

[Peter Pedant]

today is the day ? - now is the day

not sure what hey-os is

[Peter Pedant]

oh, we had
quoque sancti sua candela
( to every saint his candle ...)

//not sure what hey-os is//

I don't get it either. 'εος is a pronouny adjective meaning (in this instance) "his", isn't it?.

My own schoolmotto was the more accessible "Honor Deo" which has inspired my life. Less obvious was what the school badge represented. Some said the Virgin Mary and some said Aslan.

“While it is day”

[vetuste_ennemi]

"His" as in "his own" I think.

So many years, so many thisses, so many thats, so many ifs so many buts and so many maybes.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Ah,conjunction: 'εως.

[Jackdaw33]

Don't think we had a school motto but my college one was 'Vel primus vel cum primis' - either the best or among the best.

[jim360]

My High School's motto was "Educate, Nurture, Empower" -- in English -- which, I suspect, would sound far more impressive if it were in Latin.

lol jim, I once told my doctor I had pain between the ribs. He prodded around a bit and diagnosed it as intercostal neuralgia.

Which is pain between the ribs, but in Latin.

[Baldric]

Haven't read the whole of this thread, but this Guy deserves lynching rather than deselecting imho.

[jno]

deary me, the death sentence for displeasing Baldric? Who will be left alive?

[Baldric]

I have pride in my Country jno, obviously you do not.

[jim360]

Who'd be proud in a country that thinks lynching is ever the answer?

I mean, I get that you're being facetious, but it's still a pretty terrible thing to say. What would you *actually* advocate instead?

[Baldric]

Lynching!

[New Judge]

“The recent Channel 4 drama “Brexit the uncivil war” highlights how Brexit was strived for by very clever but slightly bored or bitter campaigners behind the scenes: for Dominic Cummings for example, a brilliant man for whom the concerns of actual Brexit voters mattered not a jot.”

Mr Cummings was only 23 when I determined that if ever given the chance to vote on the matter, I would vote to leave the EU. I’d never heard of him then and scarcely heard of him now. He and his campaign had no influence whatsoever on my decision.

“As opposed to Project Panic used by the Leave campaign "swarms of immigrants swamping the country" etc etc”

How else would you described 326,000 (non-EU) and 219,000 (EU) entrants to the year ended June 2018, with over half a million total entrants every year since 2002 then, Canary?

[jim360]

Hmm k. Perhaps try not to.

//they [MPs] are representatives not delegates -that is they can have their own views.//

Quite! Dominic Grieve owns building land in France and receives donations from German businesses and receives hospitality and payments from the Franco-British Colloque.
