    Whatever happens now. There will be a vast political price to pay.

    Fuck it, let's try it now. So this is what the website will (probably) look like: http://s760215289.websitehome.co.uk/ The banner needs changing (graphic design isn't a particular skill of mine). And yes, the images in the slider are a little scrappy. But... thoughts? What works/doesn't work?

    I must admit that the Brexit discourse on this site has been probably the most civilized that I have encountered on social media. Even though I seem to be in a minority (along with Deathray) as a Remainer all I have encountered is robust debate not dogma induced hostility and insults. People may think we are the underbelly of the acceptable internet but at least we are respectful.

    tbh, most of LFN's laundry list will happen no matter what happens to Brexit imo.

    PETA are evil, and murder thousands of dogs and other animals every year. I wouldn't trust them if they told me I was Scottish...

    I'm going for the following... The Government loses a 'No confidence' vote. May resigns. Labour wins a general election. Parliament capitulates and we accept a watered down EU deal. All money is moved from the UK as the new government imposes sweeping tax increases for the rich. Inflation begins to climb like the speedo in a Fast and Furious car. Prices start climbing. The city move whatever money they have left in the UK out. The Government borrows from the IMF. We have no money generated by an economy in free fall to pay it back. People protest on the streets. Wee Jimmy Krankie demands a new Scottish referendum. Corbyn agrees. Scotland votes to fuck off ( alone cannot be any worse than being tied into the UK) A new far right coalition emerges and tells the people what they want to hear. They make gains in local elections. We start turning into fucking Nazis and Trump supporters An election is forced. The far right make gains and hold all the cards in a no overall majority election result. We go back to the 1970s. The End. I can't wait!!

    If we actually leave shit will hit the fan as the "hard-working morons voting like turkeys for Christmas" realise that the promised land of milk and honey was actually the promised land of horse manure and dog vomit. As the factories close down, the middle-management jobs disappear, the retail sector collapses and the pubs, clubs and social events industry falls flat on its face because no-ones got any money any more. That is the reality of pushing ahead with Brexit and more and more people are realising the real and imminent danger. Now that we know the full deal the government intends to implement, if we trusted people enough to choose between two entirely hypothetical concepts, why is it wrong to trust them to vote again on two real concrete prospects; especially as the electoral commission has ruled that the last vote involved serious breaches of electoral law; can we really let a corrupt campaign be the vote that defines the future of our country? Do you not recognise the sham that it was? People at that pro-Brexit protest came from across the country, as they did for the March Against Austerity. The idea that it's only the intellectuals and students who are against Brexit is as stupid as your assertion that every supporter of Brexit works Saturdays and couldn't get to a protest. UKIP has 23,600 members and received 600,000 votes at the last election. You really telling me they couldn't organise a few dozen bus fulls of people to protest in favour of Brexit? It's just ridiculous, the Brexiteers don't really want Brexit, they just voted for it because they bought the lies. A second referendum, under fair electoral campaigns and free of corruption would confirm this? And if it doesn't then you'd be right about this silent majority; you're not though but if you are then what are Brexiteers so afraid of? I'll tell you what there afraid of, the people waking up to the pro-aristocracy, pro-status quo fallacy of Brexit and not getting their backpocket bonuses from the chaos that Brexit will actually cause. The bottom line is there will be riots from pro-Brexiteers if we stay. The bottom line is those same people and many anti-Brexiteers will be rioting following the economic depression that the increasingly inevitable no-deal situation will bring about, even under May's deal that is highly likely. We're headed for societal breakdown. I'd rather we stayed in the EU and it was a temporary societal breakdown than witness a permanent one at the hands of Brexit.

    Kane Tanaka 02 Jan 1903 Lives in Fukuoka, Japan Oldest living person, 20th oldest ever One of the most remarkable Oldest Person titleholders for some time. She can walk at the pace of a young person, tell jokes, sing, participate in press conferences, solve maths questions, play Othello, fold clothes and do the Japanese favourite - hand dancing. She's going to be around for a while. Maria-Giuseppa Robucci-Nargiso (Nonna Peppa for short) 20 Mar 1903 Lives in Apulia, Italy Oldest living European, 2nd oldest living person, 22nd oldest ever The title of Oldest in Europe is traditionally a QO shoo-in, but sadly this didn't happen for her predecessor Giuseppina Projetto. She's a very happy person who still makes public appearances, but there seems to have been a slight decline in her health. Shimoe Akiyama 19 May 1903 Lives in Nagoya, Japan 3rd oldest living, 28th oldest ever No photo, no nothing. This may change if she one day becomes the oldest person in Japan, but Tanaka is making that more unlikely with every passing day. Magdalena Oliver Gabarró 31 Oct 1903 Lives in Barcelona, Spain Oldest Spaniard, would-be 42nd oldest ever Unverified. It has been hinted on the 110 Club that her potential verification is imminent. She looked well the last time she was pictured, but that was 2 years ago. Annalise or Annelise 03 Dec 1903 Lives in Nanuet, USA Challenger to title of oldest American The fact that we don't even know the spelling of this woman's first name should tell you all you need to know. However, she might be the oldest American. Lucile Randon (Soeur Andre) 11 Feb 1904 Lives in Toulon, France Oldest Frenchie, 4th oldest living, 52nd oldest ever, oldest nun The real oldest nun, as pointed out after Sister Cecylia died. Confusingly, the oldest nun ever was Sister Cecilia (1902-2017). Soeur Andre may take this title in June. Shin Matsushita 30 Mar 1904 Lives in Sendai, Japan 5th oldest living, 62nd oldest ever, oldest person to outlive a pet Yes, this dog is dead. To be honest, Shin has appeared downbeat since this happened, and what's the point in going on if you're 114 and you just lost your dog? Gabrielle Valentine des Robert 04 Jun 1904 Lives in Nantes, France 6th oldest living, 86th oldest ever She is living proof that fat people aren't destined to die young. Isn't in the best of shape, mind you. Lessie Brown 22 Sep 1904 Lives in Cleveland, USA 7th oldest living, Believed to be oldest American Though her family adore her, I struggle to believe you can enjoy life in such poor condition. Jeanne Bot 14 Jan 1905 Lives in Perpignan, France 8th oldest living When I first heard about this woman a few months ago, I thought she was an android designed to shut down at the age of 122. It appears not. She is very healthy and can still walk around her own home. Shigeyo Nakachi 01 Feb 1905 Lives in Saga, Japan 9th oldest living Winner of "sunniest old person in the world". Never seen without a big smile on her face. She is almost profoundly deaf and communicates by reading off a tablet and shouting her response. Haruno Yamashita 19 Feb 1905 Lives in Kurume, Japan 10th oldest living A mystery. Ellen "Dolly" Gibb 26 Apr 1905 Lives in North Bay, Canada Oldest Canadian Some photos of her are quite unflattering, but she is holding up well. Alelia Murphy 06 Jul 1905 Lives in Harlem, USA 2nd oldest American Has been mentioned before as she defied death by coming back from the dreaded Limbo. She may or may not be next in line to the Oldest American throne. That Party City tiara does not reflect this title. Masazō Nonaka 25 Jul 1905 Lives in Ashoro, Japan Oldest man, 14th oldest man ever Old boy is enjoying his 10+ month reign as Oldest Man but is noticeably frail. Iris Westman 28 Aug 1905 Lives in Grand Forks, USA Oldest highly educated person She graduated from the University of North Dakota in 1928 and went on to teach. Maybe if she gets old enough then some tabloids will pick up on this. Gustav Gerneth 15 Oct 1905? Lives in Havelberg, Germany Would-be 2nd oldest man, 16th oldest man ever, oldest German person ever A recent picture (which won't upload) doesn't say good things about his physical health. He is looking forward to his 114th birthday in October 2019, but doubts have been cast on his claimed age. Beware. Kura Bingo 20 Oct 1905 Lives in Soni, Japan Not really famous, but what a moniker! House, anyone? Richard Overton 11 May 1906 Lives in Austin, USA 2nd oldest man, 23rd oldest man ever, oldest American man, oldest Allied veteran Has now survived pneumonia an incredible 5 times! He has been noticeably quiet in an ominous way for a few months. I love the man, but it might all be Over soon... Tekla Juniewicz 10 Jun 1906 Lives in Gliwice, Poland Oldest Pole ever The first Polish person to ever live to 112. Here she is with Waclaw, a GRG/110 Club admin. Mazie Ford 28 Jun 1906 Lives in Hollywood (that's Florida), USA Oldest volunteer She dresses herself, does her wig and makeup, knits babies' hats and takes them to her local hospital almost every day! She's amazing for her age! Grace Catherine Jones 16 Sep 1906 Lives in Broadway (that's Worcestershire), UK Oldest Brit, 3rd oldest Grace Jones ever No, wrong one... Not that one, she died in 2006... Close but not her either, she's dead anol... That's our wummin! She is lovely and is able to give long interviews. 3Sri Shivakumara Swami(ji/galu) 01 Apr 1907? Lives in Tumkur, India Where's a bullshit button when you need one? His age is NOT accurate. Yet his ability to bounce back from multiple hospitalisations is superb. After a fifth hospitalisation for the same ailment, he's tied with Richard Overton. Qin Hanzhang 19 Feb 1908? Lives in Beijing, China Oldest notable person Although the chances of a Chinese person being verified are low, we can pretty much confirm that he's as old as he claims. He is known for developing methods for producing wine. I would like to think that he is partly responsible for grape stomping, which inspired my 2nd favourite news blooper. Alf Smith and Bob Weighton 29 Mar 1908 Live in St Madoes and Alton, UK Joint oldest British men Alf is the first supercentenarian Scotsman It's no secret that Alf isn't doing as well as Bob (I believe he had a stroke a few years ago) but I wish both of them well. Cecilia Seghizzi 05 Sep 1908 Lives in Gorizia, Italy Oldest notable woman Known for being an artist and composer. The Guardian would like her. Anyway, she is doing great. Dr. Robert Wiener 27 Oct 1908 Lives in Montreal, Canada Oldest Canadian man, one half of oldest brothers ever, oldest doctor Pathologist whose older brother David fell just shy of 110. He still rides his exercise bike daily and works very closely with his doctor to improve his health. He's quite charming and he's not ready to slow down yet. Agnes Kluckhenn 01 Apr 1909 Lives in unknown location in Australia Oldest Aussie Does this woman even exist? I'm not convinced. At just 109 she's a youngster compared to others, but you know what they say about Australians and Mail obits.

    I think it's just misplaced; it would perhaps suit better in extra-curricular since this section is for death pools that members of this site play on these boards?
