It's not just that they're providing so much useful work that we cannot do without.

They are good people providing us with a better quality of life because they are nearby and present.

And as somebody in the middle of it for 30-odd years, I believe in it, I want it, and that's what I have to say about it.

The Referendum Commission helpfully put out a sample ballot paper and I could look at it a day or two before

And I'm looking down the list of names, right?

And I could immediately eliminate a suede I wouldn't be doing anything for.

But the big issue then is one, two, three.

And I was fairly clear what one would be, but I really was mitered about who to give the two or the three to.

But it's also very worrying because I don't feel comfortable in the country that Noel Thomas wants.

Thank you.

Solutions abound.

And where there is noise, quiet, quiet, Q-U-I-E-D, is often a good solution.
