It does look like Wales has turned against Brexit somewhat, then again it was a big surprise (unlike England) that they voted "leave" in the first place.

food grown, harvested, transported
medicine, energy, communications, transportation networks, law enforcement, emergency workers
we rely on each other making our lives possible

Willow 7.28PM "" Would he rather not prefer May to orchestrate a soft Brexit landing first so he can take over a half functioning country? I don't know. Ideally he'll be crushed under the callous stupidity of his comments and we'll never need to find out.""
I'd say that it's already less than half-functioning for many millions

And think they are paying for,when in actual fact it is the other way around before you get to the cost savings that make any income tax a mere rounding error in comparison,yet they cheer on there own potential and actual harm.

I can't help thinking that there's more than enough dirt for half of us already, and if it isn't enough to convince the other half then I don't know what would.AnatolyKasparov wrote:As far as B Johnson is concerned, I'm convinced there is "dirt" on him that hasn't been publicly aired yet........

What I don't know about contemporary macroeconomics is a lot.
I know enough to know ignorance is encouraged, cultivated.
It's an opaque business.
No one can eat, drink or breathe currency.
Currency doesn't provide adequate shelter either.

The knock-on effects for Spain and less so France are quite considerable, but not yet in disaster mode . But wait for the other countries who borrowed in foreign currencies ...

Donald Trump decided to use the opportunity to renew his war with California by nonsensically blaming the wildfires on environmental laws.
Donald J. Trump(@realDonaldTrump)
California wildfires are being magnified & made so much worse by the bad environmental laws which aren’t allowing massive amounts of readily available water to be properly utilized. It is being diverted into the Pacific Ocean. Must also tree clear to stop fire from spreading! August 6, 2018

The world is on fire
Re: Monday 13th August 2018
"Increased forest fire activity across the western United States in recent decades has contributed to widespread forest mortality, carbon emissions, periods of degraded air quality, and substantial fire suppression expenditures. Although numerous factors aided the recent rise in fire activity, observed warming and drying have significantly increased fire-season fuel aridity, fostering a more favorable fire environment across forested systems. We demonstrate that human-caused climate change caused over half of the documented increases in fuel aridity since the 1970s and doubled the cumulative forest fire area since 1984. This analysis suggests that anthropogenic climate change will continue to chronically enhance the potential for western US forest fire activity while fuels are not limiting."

Corbyn has made the biggest mistake of his leadership with his Netanyahu response. In the past he has dealt with these things by gliding over them. But now he will have to explain in detail what he did at the wreath laying. And he can't do that. Because Netanyahu is right.
