Raja Clavata Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Perhaps another contributing factor is that the public are increasingly fed up with both major parties taking opposing extreme positions on the political spectrum and are responding to the desire to find something more centre with the Lib Dems just about the only possible option.

You may well be correct, professional politicians are now despised across the free world. The Lib Dems with their 13 MPs are now the "major" force in British Politics, Vince Cable must be so proud!

I used to contribute quite a bit a few years back but I find most of the topics have been done to death. I made the "mistake" of posting here on this thread and a couple others in off-topic and some of the responses reminded me why I hadn't bothered for several years. In some respects the same old characters behaving as they have for years. Although of course Brexit is just about the most polarising topic ever.

I think the reason is that they are (usually) doing it because the enjoy it, rather than to make money/make a mark/go down in history. I have seen some of the best craftsmanship I have ever seen done by amateurs. No time pressure, day job pays wages, take as much time as needed to get just right.

I would agree traditionally but I believe there has been a shift recently, at least in public perception. And for the record, I am in no way implying Conservatives are far right extremists. Brexit Party are more right and UK further right still (assuming they still exist). 7 minutes ago, Yellow Bear said: Pull the other one they are more left wing than B Liar's so called party and that was left of centre.

oowee Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Just catching up with todays progress and learning new words 🙂 Surprisingly not much mention of the money to be well spent on the Brexit preps. I was wondering how long it will be before we start to requisition a few ships for the defence of our fishing grounds. If we can only spare a couple of boats to manage the Gulf then boats are going to be in short supply come November when we have to start defending our cod pieces.
