Re: Are we there yet?
Depends who "We" are I guess. This is a "UK centric" site so do you mean We as in the UK?...as a national identity?. or "We" as in the human species?..Or "We" as in each one of us?.As for me, in some ways I was there then I passed it and it's behind me. In other ways I am there and I want to move on and in yet more ways I know I will never get there. But the journey is always interesting

Re: Are we there yet?
OK where are we going. I wish I didn't have to say that Australia seems to have a better idea of where we are going than the UK right now. The view of "Brexit" from afar is very confusing. On one hand I can understand the basic idea of a nation (The UK) wanting to run it's own independent race and not be tied to a huge eco-political and strategic mass just next door. (Europe) BUt then again we ask ourselves, what is "The UK"?...Scotland seems to be always on the edge of leaving..correct me if I am wrong. What's left apart from England?..Wales and NI. a total of about half the population of greater Sydney. So basically we're talking about one country- England yeah?. It's like Australia saying they don't want to be part of the Asia- Pacific economic mass. And that seems ridiculous to me. So I don't get where the UK is going at all. Or why they seem to be dying to shoot themselves in the head.???02-08-2019, 12:19 AM

And I like a nice broad.You lost me the first time I read it but it's very profound and is certainly a talking point. The big question is will the Brexit Bores venture from their little cosy sub-forum and advance their all-knowing brains into the lowlife General Chat area to bring their views forth.
I hope not
