Do you support Boris's decision to suspend Parliament?I absolutely agree with you. Let’s get the job done. We can’t keep kow-towing to a minority.ViewDate:

Do you support Boris's decision to suspend Parliament?Yes I fully support Boris. The people’s vote from 2016 has been debated enough; has been ignored enough. Now let’s get on with it. Our employees (the government) have got to deliver what we asked - if that means leaving without a deal, so be it. The undemocratic factions in this issue are The Greens, Lib Dems, and Change UK - all of whom are Remainers who want what’s best for them - they are not working for the people of this country who voted Leave. More power to Boris’s elbow. Let’s get the job done and move on. I’ve heard enough tantrums and footstamping from the Remoaners - NONE OF WHOM BELIEVE IN DEMOCRACY. If they did, they would go with the majority. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO SHINE BORIS. GET IT DONE.ViewDate:

Is a bad deal better than remaining in the European Union?I’m unable to vote because neither of your options fit the bill. I voted out so I want to get out, completely, and if necessary, without a deal. We shouldn’t be in the position where a Remainer is negotiating for the Leavers (the democratically determined winners of the race. We should now just walk away on 29 March. What’s the point in TM’s deal if it’s leaving us tied to the EU and the leavers are not getting what they voted for? Our elected representatives have proved themselves to be traitors and only want to please themselves instead of carrying out what the electorate has given them a mandate to do. Still they’ll be losing their jobs in the not too distant future. We voted them in and we can vote them out. Perhaps HM The Queen could step in here and have a word with TM.?ViewDate:

Should the State Pension be means tested?So many great comments on here. Just. A couple of suggestions/questions from me. Who says which pensioners are rich? What does rich mean actually? If the government want to recoup monies why not start with child benefit? Perhaps this benefit should be means tested and only given to truly deserving people?? After all, when people decide to have children they should be prepared to pay for their upkeep. It shouldn't go to wealthy people, in my view. If people want children they should by prepared to finance the project themselves. Why should my NI contributions go towards bringing up other people's children? Lastly, It seems to me that the more people do to provide for their retirement the more criticism they get. I dare say the majority of those who voted for means testing are the younger generation who actually resent the seniors taking their pension - most of all, including me, have paid into the system for 50 years without taking anything out, and are now only taking their 'dues'. Also, isn't it funny how we're on a benefit when it suits the system but not when it doesn't. Rant over..
