I appreciate that the Leave are worried about losing the last remnants of our democracy that our parents and grandparents fought to preserve. The thought of more EU years under the neo-liberal-federal-dictatorship-project of Jean-Claud Juncker and his European Central Bank cronies constantly fishing dangerous waters - Ukraine, Turkey, Balkans etc., seriously depresses me. I fear Juncker and his sidekicks have learned nothing. Sometimes I think he doesn't even know what being a democracy means. If the EU was all it's made out to be wouldn't Switzerland, Norway and Iceland be rushing to join. In addition the idea of an EU Army run in effect by the Germans is seriously bad.

I can see both sides (I think) and really, from mu own point of view, I really am not worried one way or the other. My vote was cast in the referendum partly because I think Remain helped the all grassland farmers and partly for the sake of my grandchildren (who are mostly fervently left wing (aren't we all in our early twenties?) I agree with you that in the end all will be well.<br /><br />As to on line shopping. I think all supermarkets offer very cheap deliver (Tesco certainly does) providing you have your deliveries mid-week. I go up there once in a while mainly because I like to look at what is on offer rather than choose the same things week after week.<br /><br />Like John's comment by the way - am sure he knows what he is talking about.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-5393110044183386682016-07-06T01:38:53.972-07:002016-07-06T01:38:53.972-07:00I have been shopping online for groceries since my...I have been shopping online for groceries since my husband has been ill, but for the first time in four months we are planning to go to our favourite supermarket in person. I think I must have saved pounds by online shopping - hope I don't get seduced by too many bargains and temptations tomorrow!<br />As for politics - I am quietly optimistic that all will be well eventually, but really nervous of the next General Election as I wouldn't know who to vote for. It has got beyond voting for the same party regardless and is now a desperate search for someone who is trustworthy, strong, capable and has our country's best interests at heart. Too much to hope for, probably.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-50469621683775936782016-07-05T23:48:05.733-07:002016-07-05T23:48:05.733-07:00I voted leave and I am very pleased with the resul...I voted leave and I am very pleased with the result, the shake up of MP's can only be a good thing, the dead wood being cleared out, I am dissapointed with our PM throwing his toys out of the pram and leaving because he didnt have a backbone, would have to work hard, wasnt it in his job description, I am looking forward to the future.

It's nothing new, is it, that politicians lie to their people to serve their own interests.<br />Getting regular deliveries from the supermarket is a great idea, I wish they'd offer it here at a reasonable price, too. Not having a car I sometimes go shopping three times a week because I can not carry all that much in one go.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-32333618683100321102016-07-05T22:22:22.231-07:002016-07-05T22:22:22.231-07:00I voted Leave for economic reasons which before th...I voted Leave for economic reasons which before the vote a hell of a lot of people were agreeing with me, money wasted in Brussels etc. They seem to be the ones who have disappeared below the parapet and are now acting like sheep and the rest and the world has ended.
