BREXIT - A WILFUL BETRAYAL?
Neville said:

you have certainly captured a lot of peoples frustrations.. I certainly share some of them.. in particular the very short memory much of Europe now seems to have in respect of what role the UK played in ensuring that there was a future for most of them and the price the UK paid in blood and fiscal terms... my rant is over..

BREXIT - A WILFUL BETRAYAL?
orchidee said:

Oohh as I say, the PM and hubby are often at a church only 2 miles from me, when not in Brussels, etc. Her constituency is fairly local to me.
Have to have a chin-wag with her one Sunday over coffee after church. But how? Goldie says \'If their lips move, they lie\' Doh!

BREXIT - A WILFUL BETRAYAL?
Goldfinch60 said:

The frustrations of the process are well achieved in your words Michael. Personally I voted to stay but the will of democracy said leave and for those who died to give us the vote I always abide by the decisions.
You are right in that those in parliament seem to want to remain, they should be doing the will of the people and not trying to satisfy their own personal beliefs.

BREXIT - A WILFUL BETRAYAL?
Michael Edwards said:

Whatever your views about Brexit, those who voted to leave the EU are ignored by Parliament which is almost entirely pro Europe in make up and totally incompetent in progressing the aim of leaving. The only members of Parliament who profess to support Brexit,and who  are at best buffoons of the first order, do no favours in representing the views of the majority who voted to leave. These short pieces seek to point out the frustrations of this undemocratic process.

the seal of approval guarantees depravity...
I wonder how many have confessed minor sins, to those who have themselves committed far greater ones ..

I\'m not Catholic but I had many friends who were (not so much now as they have all given up).... but I used to think \"how therapeutic to be able to talk to someone you trust with your problems - and it\'s not as if you are paying them to listen\"........ but now imagine confessing all your innermost secrets to a pedophile in the next box......... ooops.... cast not the first stone but hope he catches this one in the head. And another thing (and please forgive this as I am in a giddy mood and that is most dangerous) but both today and yesterday when I saw \"Shortie\" the first imagine in my mind was a pair of boxer shorts........ why? Who knows but that somewhat set the tone for my replies...... you set me off!

Michael,

A heavy burden to bear!
It may never be unloaded...
...lest be defrocked!

I enjoyed the shortie along with your beautiful painting! Is that the same church you’ve depicted in other paintings you’ve posted?

OMG you mean i must never go to the seaside again? The way gets much narrower upstream and i see hills ahead.
Did someone say that a lifetime against the flow will lead to a narrowing of ones prospects, or is it just ones outlook?

A fine write M.
One day I will be \'short\', but I just keeps singing endlessly. Well, when I compose me poems anyway.
Aww, and why they flog that horse - it\'s dead! No use flogging that sort, as it\'s said!
