    Leave was never going to be easy- you can’t unbake a cake. But people are mistaken if they think 31st October will be the end, as that will only be the start of years of trade negotiations to re establish trade deals, not only with the EU but with the rest of the world. Many companies have already set up offices etc in the EU ready to trade after Brexit.

    I am failing to understand what law was broken.
    Afterall all laws are acts of parliment and as such are debated and as such is ameded via Lords back to Head of state to sign as Law.

    So what law was broken ?
    Lying well thats every politican then so they all break the law.
    If its Constituantal law we dont have a written constitunecy.

    If its for stoppng parliment debating they had 3 years

    Black’s Law Dictionary defines unlawful as “not authorized by law, illegal.” Illegal is defined as “forbidden by law, unlawful.” Semantically, there is a slight difference. It seems that something illegal is expressly proscribed by statute, and something unlawful is just not expressly authorized.3 Sep 2007
    This is the official definition of illegal and unlawful. The Supreme Court was clear that the Prime Minister’s action was unlawful. They did not use the word illegal. This is because we do not have a written constitution.

    [quote quote=174457]If they resurfaced the Councillors Car Park on the grounds of health and safety how come the pot holes at the entrance to the Library Car Park are not resurfaced based on the same criteria? Councillors have to drive over those to get to their new super smooth parking spaces so they must all be aware of them ![/quote]

    Is it possible the contractors made a mistake and did the wrong car Park?

    Estyn is going to find the inspection of the Wrexham Council Education Department next month really easy.
    The inspection reports on the Estyn website for Wrexham secondary schools speak for themselves.
    https://www.estyn.gov.wales/inspection/search/field_local_authority/1420/field_sector/1446
    The reports and inspection outcomes over the last 5 or 6 years for Wrexham secondary schools have been absolutely shocking.
    Bryn Alyn is still in special measures since its inspection in 2017. Most areas of the inspection were described as unsatisfactory and in need of urgent improvement.
    Clywedog was in special measures between 2013 and 2015. It is now due another inspection. Examination results in recent years have continued to be poor.
    Darland was inspected in 2019 and now requires Estyn monitoring. In most areas the school performance was described as only adequate and needing improvement.
    Grango was identified in its inspection of 2017 as in need of significant improvement.
    The Maelor school was inspected in 2019 and also requires Estyn monitoring. In most areas the school performance was described as only adequate and needing improvement.
    Morgan Llwyd was identified in its inspection of 2017 as in need of significant improvement.
    Rhosnesni was in special measures from 2013 until 2015. It was inspected again in 2018 and was identified as in need of significant improvement.
    Ruabon was placed in special measures by Estyn in its inspection of 2016.
    Only St Joseph’s School has not been placed in a category by Estyn.
    Estyn have already found that standards in Wrexham schools are consistently below the standards achieved in similar schools across Wales.

    Might be fair to say that their findings will be to put a rocket up the backside of whoever is in charge of secondary schools in Wrexham. The current recommendation will be – if you want your children to do well between ages 11-16 then send them across county lines to either Cheshire, Shropshire, Flintshire or Denbighshire.[/quote]

Are all the schools failing for the same reasons or is it a different reason in each school?

    A referendum is indeed advisory. However Cameron declared that he would honour the result, and both main parties then put Brexit into their manifesto for the following election. Other countries who use a referendum vote usually set a majority figure of for instance 60%. Our 52/48% was very narrow. Yes, I can hear everyone who voted to leave shouting that 52 is larger than 48!

    The phrase I have highlighted in bold invalidates all other statements that should or would have happened. It’s a bit like having respected the medical opinions of Dr Shipman for your dear old Gran or trusting Sir Jimmy Savile to look after all the orphans.[/quote]
    Yes, I wasn’t disagreeing with you. The trouble is Gran trusted Dr Shipman and believed him.

    Remainers are a bunch of moaning gits who prefer to hide behind Europe’s apron strings and are too afraid to take ANY risk at all.
    Bet you sh1t yourselfs crossing the street because it is too risky.
    What did we ever before we joined? I guess we survived it!

    WHat a reasoned and cogent argument you make Wrex-iT. I’m surprised you are not standing for election to advance your model of respect and open mindedness.

    It is also a fact that the referendum result was only advisory, See House of Commons briefing note 07172

    October 31st is not the end of Brexit, it’s the start of years of trade talks and compromise. In order to gain anything, we will have to give something. That’s how trade deals are done.
    I’m not sure how it will develop, but I wish I had the optimism of those who think we are heading for the sunny uplands!

    [quote quote=173939]What has he done for Wrexham. Oh yes organised an annual street singing competition.The majority in Wrexham voted to leave, Lucas who was voted in by the people of Wrexham should support that result.I hope it does cost him his seat.[/quote
    To ask what has our MP has done for Wrexham is to misunderstand the role of an MP. His work is in Parliament and his voting records, committee work etc are all available as a public record. He holds regular surgeries, where you are able to discuss items with him.

    The original ones were valid for 10 years and are now reaching expiry. The buses also have a new system of card readers.

    Something called Brexit? And if some reports are to be believed, we all should fill up our tanks before Halloween!
