It's not a fast process though, can see them dragging their heels in many ways....I agree that I can't see how they could ignore it though. I just saw someone using that as an argument. Haha.

Not wanting to say whether it's a stupid question or not But it would certainly be a stupid Government that promised the electorate a referendum as part of it's general election manifesto and was voted in on the basis of that manifesto, then held the referendum and then stuck 2 fingers up at the electorate because they didn't like the result and carried on as normal disregarding the majority's wish. I have absolutely no doubt that there will be rioting on the streets and the Government would brought to it's knee's within 24- 48hrs and the PM would be looking for a country to exile to..... Simply because the UK is a democratic country and Parliament would have gone against the consent of the people..... To be quite honest on an issue such as this, it doesn't bare thinking about, because we would end up having complete anarchy on the streets...... in fact it would be this nations worst nightmare.....

I am still remain and cannot manage to side with Farage or Murdoch on anything I am afraid. Probably a stupid question but are the government actually obligated to follow the result or can they wriggle out of it somehow? How legally binding is it? 

No idea but just wanted to say good luck, it sounds amazing!

I am decided on voting to remain now. I was really unsure but looking at the disability and maternity rights laws that are actually EU based, we are stuffed if we leave this up to the government to decide. They won't do either group any favours I am pretty sure!! I think that is the main problem, in that leaving gives our government more power and I don't think that's a good idea! There's too much responsibility if we leave, they will mess it up.

He is such an angel, a moaner but is getting full of life now and just learning to say simple words like mama, bye-bye etc .. I was thinking more along the lines of other kids. I did ask my daughter if was was and I think shewill be like you and use the naughty step or take something away   ”

I don't really agree with the naughty step either....hahaha

I think the racist thing is about the fact that a lot of the leavers are obsessed about immigration and controlling it, which from some parties is the whole 'keep Britain white thing'.

Like I say I am undecided. There seem far too many question and not many answers, from both sides!

Another legend bites the dust. The epic man Muhammad Ali. I am no boxing fan but he really was quite something as a fighter and a man. RIP champ. 

Just do it Barney!!! Mind over matter!! No excuses! If you really want to then you can do it.

Hmmm I will be the fluffy liberal here that gets shot down. The Japanese story for a start was a disgrace and is child abuse. They were very, very lucky it didn't go very wrong!

I was smacked and it ruined my relationship with my parents for years. If your only way of using discipline is violence I think you need to step up your parenting techniques... Violence is wrong and using it is advocating it. Especially as it is usually used in anger or frustration. Children can push our buttons but we must teach them how to behave correctly.

I am teaching my child empathy, kindness, honesty and politeness and by setting this as an example to her too I hope she will grow up into a gentle and kind human being. 

No discipline or guidance is as bad as too much of course. When I worked in schools I could tell the ones who had no boundaries at all at home. Too many people have children then hand them over to childcare or expect the school to do everything for them. Children need to be nurtured, cared for, shown how to act and given the tools to discover and explore the world around them themselves. Time is one of the most important gifts you can give a child in my opinion.

The aim is a relationship built on trust and respect and I think hitting totally undermines this!! I may only have a toddler and baby on the way but I do also have step daughters of nearly 11 and 13, who I have known since 5 and 7 so I am not talking with no experience at all.

Parenting is the hardest of life's challenges I think and most of us do our best and act with the right intentions. I am just giving my opinion, not judging what anyone chooses to do. 

This was posted on Twitter today, couldn't help but chuckle.....I am still undecided but I do find it hard to side with the likes of Farage and Murdoch!!!
