Petition: Apply for the UK to rejoin the EU fully - do not just 'reset' the relationship

I think the UK needs to rejoin the EU fully for maximum economic benefit and to restore influence rather than merely 'reset' relations.

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

Given the abject horror that has taken place you'd think, for once that Trump wouldn't make it all about himself. But like a stuck record, there he is... going on about himself

We said it was Fascism.

Now the President's 19 year old son will be put on the board of a $300bn company.

It's Fascism.

In case anyone was wondering, “Give us your land or we will bomb you and take it” is not a peace deal; it’s extortion by artillery. A peace deal requires consent.

The 3 Day Week and power cuts were under Ted Heath's Tory Government.

And the strikes were under Margaret Thatcher.

Have a good day.

Inexplicably, my son’s very standard state school - in a mixed area, not a particularly affluent one - arranged a £4K trip to Kenya last year. I keep meaning to do a story on the astonishing escalation of the school trip.

Today would have been Margaret Thatcher's 100th birthday.

I think she is dead, we need to kill her policies too.

It's time to Nationalise until her legacy is gone.
