Should plant nurseries and growers be allowed to sell their plants?Having a garden centre open will encourage people to go out at a time when we are being told to stay in. This is particularly important for the vulnerable & at-risk group. There is also the risk of having an accident/breakdown, putting unnecessary pressure on Emergency services. A Home Delivery Service would be better than nothing and save the waste of all those plants. I love my garden.ViewDate:

Should we have a second EU referendum?I cannot disagree with your comment, but then nobody, not even Nigel Farage expected that Leave would be allowed to Win so no plan or preparations were ever done. Perhaps if people wanting to Remain had not been so complacent and more actually voted, they would not have lost.ViewDate:

Should we have a second EU referendum?My first vote ever was the European Communities membership referendum in 1975, so I have lived all my adult life with Britain being part of the EU. How anyone could have decided which way to vote based on either the Leave or Remains Campaigns, I do not know. They were both extreme & exaggerated and both unbelievable. The facts & figures were there available to find via the internet. The truth is another matter because so much is unknown, at present nobody knows for sure how leaving is going to affect the UK. The thousands of job that will be lost, trade & flights coming to a standstill, thousands of pounds suddenly being available to be spent on the NHS, until after the event nobody knows who was telling porkies. Todays EU was not what I voted to Remain in when I voted in 1975, it has changed beyond belief. There are more negative's about staying in the EU than the benefits it offers. Admittedly it is proving far harder and more complicated to leave than what we were led to believe, but then nobody in truth ever expected Leave to win the vote!ViewDate:

Should we have a second EU referendum?I disagree, the Electorate was given the information but definitely not in the best way. I was one of the undecided and did the research myself using the internet. The Leaflet produced by the Government gave all the essential information on what it would mean if the Country voted to Leave the EU membership.ViewDate:

Should we have a second EU referendum?The Remain Campaign, together with the Government advised voters on the Armageddon that would occur if the electorate chose to Vote Leave. This included that we would have to leave both the Single Market & the Customs Union causing the loss of jobs and Financial Ruin. The Country still voted to Leave even after being given that information. Admittingly the Leave Campaign did embellish information and make it appear as though it was going to be very easy but you would have to be very stupid if you thought 40+ years of Membership could end easily. I am even more convinced now, that to Leave is the right decision.ViewDate:

Should we have a second EU referendum?The one thing that both the Leave & Remain Campaign agreed on was, that to Vote 'Leave the EU' we would become an Independent Sovereign Country, we would then be able to make our own rules & regulations and leave the ECJ jurisdiction, we would be outside both, the Customs Union & the Single Market. That is was what the majority Voted for and we were not asked to Vote on the terms on how that happens!ViewDate:

Should we have a second EU referendum?Why not just carry on voting until you get the result you want even though all Voters were advised it was a one-time decision? I will concede that neither the Leave or the Remain campaign truly gave accurate information to Voters on how to make their decision. I, however, would still Vote the same and now would have no doubts whatever.
