Public thinks EU referendum was bad idea, says poll
Opinium finds even Conservative voters on balance think it would have been better for UK not to have held vote

More than half the public – 55% – now think it would have been better never to have held the EU referendum given the difficulties of reaching an agreement on Brexit, according to the latest Opinium/Observer poll.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing! Of course no one expected the Government to make such a mess of it.

EU membership poll shows no other country would vote to leave

With Brexit occupying the headlines for what feels like forever, it’s easy to forget that other countries exist.

Sometimes the UK seems so wrapped up in its own issues, plus keeping one eye on the never-ending disaster that is American politics, that we forget to check in with our European neighbours.

Following the ongoing Brexit turmoil, a new poll has been released which reveals how different EU countries would vote if they were given the choice to renew their EU membership in a referendum.

The results are fascinating.

Could never figure why so many Greeks want to stay in EU. Maybe a sense of security?

Greek Cell Phone Internet Access Rates World’s 7th Highest

Unlike in the United States and some other countries where cell phone users can pay a flat monthly fee for unlimited Internet access, Greeks must pay by the gigabyte with rates the seventh highest in the world, making access too costly for many.

Vauxhall cars in new fire risk alert

The boss of Vauxhall has told ITV News the company is today writing to hundreds of thousands of vehicle owners warning of a new fire risk.

This will be the third time the same Vauxhall Zafiras have been recalled over similar dangers. We’ve had dozens of reports where the cars have burst into flames, often leaving owners terrified.

Wasn't it nice when there was no Brexit news for two weeks!

Greek Olive Oils Slip in World Competition – Held in Greece

Greeks proudly proclaim their olive oil the world’s best – the country’s symbol could be the olive tree – but companies who failed to market the precious commodity have ceded the sector to other countries such as Spain, and now when Greek olive oils won far fewer awards at the recent Athena International Olive Oil Competition (ATHIOOC) held in the coastal town of Naufplio.

The number of prizes there was a 40 percent drop in prizes won by Greek entries despite the higher number of participants.
