Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted January 11, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Absolutely gutted. I mentioned on here previously how she personally took the time to help us as a family when my lad was around 6. He'd developed a fear of rain and flooding that was so severe he would get panic attacks. It was getting really difficult as a parent to know what to do. To cut a long story short, one fantastic letter from her sorted him out. We got the opportunity to thank her personally at the Tatton flower show last summer, something I always be grateful for. A bit crushed this morning, and tearful. RIP Edited January 11, 2019 by Tonge moor green jacket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife met her a few times when she used to visit police headquarters on BBC business. She was very fond of her and always commented on the clothes she wore on the tv. A woman thing I guess. The North West Tonight tribute this evening was very emotional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalcolmW Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 8 minutes ago, Casino said: surely democracy is being shown to be extremely healthy Far from it. The likelihood that a general election would solve this problem is fanciful. It is at least as likely as not that no party would emerge with an overall majority. One of the problems that the current government have had is avoiding parliament rather than working with it. It sets an unfortunate precedent for what might follow. The essential fact is that the then PM, Cameron, undertook that the referendum would be honoured but that is still far from certain. As has been said, there was no soft departure before the referendum - it was remain or over the cliff edge into uncertainty. The majority of MPs from both major parties represent constituencies that voted to leave, but the majority of MPs from both parties wish to remain. May is despised in parliament (but more liked than ever by the electorate) for her obduracy. Whatever your position democracy is far from healthy. Strangely DJT gave May the best advice but she laughed it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
