Kuenssberg reporting that the Ultras are starting to table amendments to block govt legislation.   Sounds like war.  (Twitter).

Commons was suspended because the white paper hasn't been distributed to MPs. Then restarted even though no one has time to read it, though it has been given to journalists before MPs in breach of protocol. Farcical.

Just been reading about the advice to stockpile tinned food. No more European veg, its tinned carrots instead. Thanks a bunch.

Are posters implying that Increasingly Atheist Britain is going to turn into some kind of shitpot?

They are apparently quite easy to grow not that I have ever tried. We'll all be having kitchen gardens in the future. I quite like that idea as long as I'm retired by then but the novelty might wear off.

Never even heard of that :o. There's no shortage of British pig meat though so I don't see the need (for meat eaters).

'We'll all'?... Where the hell do you think these 'kitchen gardens' will be given that most families can barely afford to buy a flat, that renting won't allow them that option, and that new builds have gardens like pocket handkerchiefs?

That's without considering the time that is needed, or the skill (I've tried growing veg and not done hugely well). The only option then is to pay someone to do it for you.

So, an option for the affluent retired, but families will no longer be able to give their kids fresh produce.

Shit is not supposed to happen in the atheist population otherwise what is the cause of celebration for the increasingly atheist population?

There's much to celebrate if it means fewer people spouting the poisonous and dangerous crap that you come out with about people being 'dark' and 'evil' simply for not holding the same beliefs that you do and challenging you on them.

Alright! Point taken, I didn't think it out that far, should have said "Some of us will have kitchen gardens in the future". I did say I'd never tried it but I know lots of people who've grown runner beans, tomatoes, onions, carrots and other stuff - e.g. potatoes and asparagus - in a small garden. As well as fruit. Yes, I agree impossible for people in flats with no outside space and you're probably right that it takes a lot of skill and dedication, I wouldn't know. Maybe I'll find out in the future.

It's also possible to buy fruit and veg grown here which will mean only when in season, I do when I can. Great big gooseberries and rhubarb spring to mind, better than from supermarkets. On the edge of London there are plenty of farms and small shops stock their produce as well as farmer's markets.

It may not come to that though, let's hope. I haven't yet given up hope of Brexit not happening.

I fail to see what any of this (Brexit) has to do with religion or lack of. Agree with Trent.

Just listing objectionable people doesn't really advance your argument very far.

Although quite what a particularly unappetizing version of pork has to do with anything I'm sure I don't know.

You constantly try to make a link between secularism / atheism / antitheism as a reason for all things bad happening in the world - one of those things being BREXIT in your opinion. I am saying there is no that is; zero, zilch, proof; that this is the case.

There is evidence for other things causing people to vote in a certain way. Religion, or lack thereof, or any of the above listed are not amongst those reasons.

I love you but sometimes you are seriously hard work.

Lol
People who talk about dark and evil are poisonous and dangerous.

I'm afraid around here words like dark and evil are joke words and the real power to insult and undermine is in thewords Poisonous and Dangerous.

It does in terms of voter demographics. Non religious people were far more likely to vote remain, religious people far more likely to vote leave.

So in the same manner that people have suggested that the old have screwed the young (and actually the country overall) by tipping the vote for leave, you can make the same argument that the religious have screwed the non religious (and actually the country overall) by tipping the vote for leave.
