A bit of anorak trivia perhaps but if you compare them, not even the badge used on the present Triumphs is the same as the old Meriden ones. It's the name that remains.

It's the name that remains.Triumph Motorcycles Meriden became a workers cooperative with the toolmakers getting the same money as the floor sweepers - 50 quid a week. Tony Benn gave the workers' board millions- last seen heading for the Caribbean. At the end all that was left was the badge.
1m votes is nothing though is it???????????
the vote was 52/48 or something. about as even as it gets. this is pretty much the only time that something like this isnt shitting on the british people as they are not ignoring a large majority.
also it seems most leave voters regret their decision so maybe majority is now stay.
As usual it'll be the poorest and most vulnerable who are hit the hardest, while the rich and the elite who misled and encouraged them to vote for it will carry on as usual.
Are you talking about now, or 40 years ago? From where I'm sitting 40 years on, there's no difference!

Yeh u can say they were mislead but our poor are fucking dumb as fuck too.
Working class didn't used to mean dumb partial right wingers
It is due to the ever increasing differecession between the haves and have nots within our society. There were major social issues in this country which are a result of UK government policies,sadly now rather than addressing them the country will be consumed by Brexit.
It's not surprising that the vast majority of those outside of the UK who speak favourably of Brexit are members of openly far right parties.
Don't get me wrong. I don't like way country is going. too many faith schools and too much segregation
But it don't look like leave is gonna fix that anyway
How do you know that? We've had generations of shit Governance by the EU. Give it a try, you might like it!
What are brown people?Where have you been? The EU doesn't govern us. We have trade rules from the EU, but if, say, we want to bomb brown people, we do it with the USA and the EU has little or no say. To blame the EU for our shit government is really taking the propaganda war to the extreme.
Have you "Jumped ship" yet, or still being hamstrung by the Great British shackles?
Thought you had already left Italy.I will be leaving the sinking ship in June.
I'll tell you where Sky Blue Kid has been. Like me he's been.......... around a long enough time to know the difference between being in the EU and not being in it.Where have you been?

Time will tell. But I can see the EU disintegratingWe'll be better off financially there and be happier. There is more chance of the UK falling apart than the EU and not long until it's 1€ for 1£.

Yes there is, as I said earlier 40 years ago the working class were exactly that 'working"Are you talking about now, or 40 years ago? From where I'm sitting 40 years on, there's no difference!

Since the shift towards financial services the working class have been sacrificed.
Now we have a massive underclass who are kept in a docile, ignorant, vegetative state
By being fed endless supplies of (cheap as chips) supermarket alcohol and easily grown
At home super strength weed, the elite will never have to co-habit with these people but
We have to.
I would say the ruling classes now have the *working class* exactly where they want
Them, while the right wing media have done such a good job that it's the poor that get
The blame, even off the poor.
E.g. Single mum of 7 on benefits is given 4 bedroom house in Grimsby, is given the
Front page of national newspapers and creates uproar and disgust among working
Classes.
Multi millionaire pop star Gary Barlow and Multi millionaire comedian Jimmy Carr
(among Many others) are caught red handed avoiding paying their lawful taxes,
And the general attitude is "you'd do it if you could" and their reputation isn't even
Slightly tarnished.
This country is truly fucked. IMHO
I was actually refering to the "Elite" and there being no difference how the poor are treated today opposed to 40 years ago. They are still s**t on.
It still doesn't give creedence to the Euro Eliteists. I'm sure Britain will prosper under "Own Rule" and have a great relationship with the rest of the Economic World as well as the EU.
40 years ago I was 7 and attended st Giles school in Bedworth, my Dad wasI was actually refering to the "Elite" and there being no difference how the poor are treated today opposed to 40 years ago. They are still s**t on.
33,946,026 didn't vote leaveSo 17,410,000 voters are WRONG!... OK.
We'll be better off financially there and be happier. There is more chance of the UK falling apart than the EU and not long until it's 1€ for 1£.
40 years ago I was 7 and attended st Giles school in Bedworth, my Dad was
a maintenance foreman at the standard in canley, my mum worked at Britvic
On bayton Rd. My classmates parents worked at numerous places such as
RRoyce, Courtaulds, Jaguar, Lenton & Brey, Herbert's among many others,
But everyone worked and paid their way.
If you went too the same school today, took a random 7 year old and asked
The same question,I think the results would be very very different .
I bet you can't count the friends you've made on here on theI've made friends with posters on here, and I won't be falling out over politics, religion or the colour of someones skin, so on this... I'm out!
