    @Crystal Clear: This again? You said the other day that you wanted the same referendum as was held by Poland’s former (far-right, anti-EU) government. That is clearly out of the question.

    Do you also want a referendum on emigration, seeing as every immigrant is also an emigrant?

    The poll would seem to indicate that the media’s obsession is not shared by the public. It is not only the Government that are out of touch with us.

    @Padraig O’Brien: in fairness I take polls on this page with a pinch of salt. This page is inundated with people of a similar political and social persuasion. Not really a true representation of “the people”. Also when you have about a dozen people (at least) with multiple accounts it skews things.

    I’d like a referendum on freeloading “asylum” seekers getting fed, found and medical cards etc. And I’d like a referendum on state funding of far left NGO’s that are ruining this country.

    John Williams, a modern living legend, but that Hollywood has nominated him for a that train wreck of a film Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny? Even Williams must admit he phoned in a re-heat of an original score going back 42 years, rather insipid.

    Yes , although only to witness the planned Free Palestine protest on Hollywood Boulevard… hopefully they make plenty of noise . Don’t expect so called Hollywood A listers ( I do hate that term ) to to speak out against the Genocide happening in front of our eyes , in 4K , surround sound . They’d rather sell their souls than risk their careers. Much respect to those who have spoken out already ( Susan Sarandon , Mark Ruffalo )
    Justice for the people of Palestinine , an injustice decades in the making .
