I'm not feeling sad about it zoony. As I said early on I came on here for a purpose. As so often happens when you are very open to trying to understand something in particular lots of things have come together in the last few days which have given me an insight into why a really nice person coming on here could feel as threatened as Milo did - and as exasperated - that she felt she had to leave.
You yourself have helped by explaining why you voted Brexit, as have Bazzerpontefract and Mike with their recent comments about university courses (although that has been re-run a couple of times before my light-bulb moment) and Phil has certainly helped, lastly with his comment on the obesity thread. David Owen helped too. I was listening to him yesterday - if you remember he was the youngest Foreign Secretary way back when and had and has such an incisive brain so I was happy to hear he was being interviewed. He was asked a few things which interested me but the thing that leans on my quest to understand what is happening on here was where he saw the centre of politics these days. When asked he replied - well Brexit is the centre. I had to do quite a bit of thinking about that but it was like the cog that makes everything else fall into place.
So, I am feeling I have a bit more thinking to do about the relevance of what I have concluded but I can see why this group is as it is rather more than I could - so no sadness and, although, to some extent, I will stop banging my head against this particular brick wall. I can almost guarantee some of the comments that will be made about this post - it will be interesting to see if I am right
