Last night saw 5 strong results - 4 of them Gains - for the Liberal Democrats in a scattering of local council by elections. Congratulations to our colleagues.
What a shambles! The quitters have quit. The splitters have split! The wreckers have resigned. Boris, Farage, IDS, Fox, Gove, Leadsom - resigned, withdrawn, unsupported. Not one of the Leavers has the wit or courage or competence even to carry out out Brexit - let alone lead tough negotiations with the EU or with the rest of the world. The Referendum was hardly decisive - 37% of the electorate should not be allowed to bring ruin on the whole country. 63% did not vote to Leave - either not voting at all or being part of the 16 million who actively voted to Remain. A 51.9% vote wouldn't even let you change the constitution of a golf club - let alone threaten a continent, divide the UK and betray the hopes and aspirations of our youth! Was it all a joke? A public schoolboy jape? An exercise in egotism? There is now nobody of any experience, standing or ability who can implement Brexit - or even wants to do it all. It is now clear that the Referendum does not command enough support to be a
The following statement has been issued by the presidents of the EU Parliament, the EU Council and the EU Commission "In a free and democratic process, the British people have expressed their wish to leave the European Union. We regret this decision but respect it. This is an unprecedented situation but we are united in our response. We will stand strong and uphold the EU's core values of promoting peace and the well-being of its peoples. The Union of 27 Member States will continue. The Union is the framework of our common political future. We are bound together by history, geography and common interests and will develop our cooperation on this basis. Together we will address our common challenge to generate growth, increase prosperity and ensure a safe and secure environment for our citizens. The institutions will play their full role in this endeavour. We now expect the UK government to give effect to this decision of the British people as soon as possible, however painful that process may be
We were so sad to hear of the sudden death of Sylvia Saul. She and Geoff have been stalwart figures in our community for many, many years. Sylvia will be remembered for her cheerful hard work for the Red Cross, for Meresworth, working in the library at Shepherds School and many other local organisations and events. We understand there is to be a special service at St Peters in the morning of June 14th
West Hyde Victory. A group of us from West Hyde and Maple Cross have just returned from County Hall. We went to speak out against the Pynesfield gravel extraction planning application and to try and persuade HCC to refuse it .We spoke out against the destruction of the green belt, the environmental damage, flooding and increase in HGVs. We succeeded - only one member of the HCC voted in favour. Hurrah!………………………………………………….. The Annual Rickmansworth Festival end was fantastic. Congratulations and thanks to all those involved. It was splendid to see so many people/ families enjoying themselves. Well Done!
