Homebreakers - The Style Council "And I've tried on my own, now there's nothing to keep me at home, All the love and the strength has been taken by this Government, You see they, tell you to move around - If you can't find work in your own town. Father's in the kitchen, counting out coins, Mother's in the bedroom, looking through pictures of her boys, One is in London, looking for a job, The other's in Whitehall - Looking for those responsible!

Leaving Brexit seems to rest on how the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland will be managed. Chris de Burgh - "Borderline" "And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you I'm taking my side, one of us will lose Don't let go, I want to know That you will wait for me until the day There's no borderline, no borderline" Reply #16.
