A pretty appalling show from the BBC last night. The camera zoomed over the assembled throng in Parliament Square, Mr Farage was seen standing on stage, but where was his speech? Instead of him we got Emily Whatshername prattling on. Did any of the television companies offer a fitting tribute to this momentous occasion in this country’s history? It appears, once again, that the BBC just couldn’t bring itself to report as it should - honestly.

You're right, Naomi. It was a disgrace, a clear attempt to sour any feeling of joy for the majority of people in this country - those who have had to suffer years of abuse and disappointment - and for what?

Not as much disappointed as quite a few of us here who are hanging on in their jobs trading with (basically) our main customer-the EU.Our boss is making plans to move to Poland.I wont be celebrating when i get my redundancy letter.

Mamyalynne

I have it wrong do I?

Apologies, was going by the negativity after the celebratory mood of last night.

I wasn't confused, N -- just poking a little fun. It was clear who Maisie meant.

Mamyalynne

Perhaps run a sweepstake to choose new names to stick on people?

^to mamyalynne’s suggestion.

I joined in some of the threads last night in a jovial way, some were very silly of course and others were fine.

If people are happy then generally so am I.
