    Yes i have always wanted more Helicopters at any airshow. Legends could accommodate vintage helo’s within it’s remit.

    Be great if it could be restored in it’s present colour scheme.

    There is a current youtube clip from the Oxford Union that has a very erudite speech from Daniel Hannan for pro-Leave…..obviously its flawed and he carefully omits several key points, but, he does get a Tennyson line in so he can be excused small details I imagine.

    He is the chap who’s made the statement that there will, post-exit, still have to be immigration from the EU though. Which kind of undermines the whole ‘island apart’ stance most seemed to think they were getting with Leave. Certainly there will not be the reduced pressure on public services if the foreigners are still let in???.

    Then theres the German BDI’s statement that they never said trade with the UK should be as it stands today, post-exit, as Boris tried to build on in his Telegraph piece.

    Then, just for the sake of it…because its funny, we have Farage backing out on the promise that was on the side of the big red fun bus. No guarantees for diverted money into the NHS let alone 350mn a week.

    Who are the smart people Paul?.

    The ones who knew what they were voting for.

    It’s a pity more of them didn’t vote then.

    On a similar theme. I visit Guy’s hospital every two to three months for check-ups and have been for the past six years.To do this i travel by car provided by the hospital from my house ,a trip of two hours each way. At this visit i have bloods taken.If something is amiss i am telephoned a few days later and asked to come in for a further blood test to check all is well.Which requires a trip of two hours there a blood test that takes ten minutes and then a two hour trip home.When i asked why can i not have the test done at my own hospital,ten minutes down the road ,and the results passed on,i am told no we don’t talk to other hospitals you are our patient.I thought it was a National health service not an isolationist one.

    Ooh that feels good to write my rant down.

    Once you pass through a perfectly safe country (Greece, Italy, France etc) you cease being a refugee and become an economic/social migrant.

    With the exception of Belgium, we already have the highest population density in the EU.

    Couldn’t agree more.
