Just to remind you I voted Leave. (Noted you recognise you're a piss head) that's a big step. No I just recognise judgemental twats.

The issue is that the country is split 48/52 over Brexit

Does your circus recieve grants Jim? Or are you "hired" by local government money to "amuse" the local populations? You know what I'm asking and if you twist the questions to wriggle out of answering them we'll know the answer. EU grants?

Carry on, advocating the quitling fascist state, no voting again ever, the word of St Nige is God. I've got gutters to mend and a gate to build today. Austin Mitchell is a fascist?

You know what I'm asking and if you twist the questions to wriggle out of answering them we'll know the answer. We apply for and sometimes get grants from Grant Giving Trusts, eg Henry Smith Foundation, BBC CIN, NHS CCG, Nat Lottey Reaching Communities, to work with a variety of people with a variety of ages and needs. It is all strictly evaluated and monitored, by funders, by our board, by accountants. No local government grants though we do tender for, and win, opportunities like performance and open workshops at the town festival. Turnover forecast this year circa 300k. Swmbo is doing a lot of the fundraising voluntarily, though we have recruited someone to take some of the load off her so she can do her own artwork. No wriggling needed, at all. Check us out on the companies house or charity commission websites. Website www.skylightcircusarts.com, videos of shows on YouTube. From the tone of your post you are implying I'm a greedy thieving grasping lying tory brexiteer Quitling. Twat.

Not since the early and mid 90s when we ran training for the unemployed in Street Performance, circus skills, performing skills and business and marketing skills combined in a 12 week course, 3 different years. Money well spent. (audited by eu auditors too, cos they wanted to brighten up their lives with a trip to the circus)

No Jim. I got a free ticket to glatonbury in return for providing some fire related entertainment, so we have something in common. I'm interested in how a circus makes ends meet and I admit this is because I've never found a circus entertaining and personally even if admission was free it wouldn't be for me. The question I should have asked is what percentage of your circus income is derived directly from paying punters? If I imply anything it's that you couldn't exist by merit alone.

You have a misunderstanding of what we are about. We became a registered charity because the work we wanted to do, being "charitable" isn't financially viable, we are not a "normal" touring performing circus. While some of our work is professional training, people we have worked with have gone on to professional performance, much of our work is using circus and performance skills as a vehicle for personal and social development with a variety of ages and abilities. Check out the website.

The reason the remoaners want another vote is so they can rig it such that actually leaving isn't one of the options. They're already paving the way scraping past some bill that will prevent a no deal Brexit from appearing on the ballot paper. This will infuriate the majority* of people who voted to LEAVE the EU, not to ammend the terms of membership.
*This is from talking to people locally, I don't doubt that some people in London just wanted a half way solution that allowed them to keep their cheap Bulgarian nannies and cleaners

Check out the website. This puts me in mind of a "care" boat on the marina where troublesome teenagers are supposedly given a taste of a different life and I guess maybe their parents get a break. It costs the taxpayer/charities £9k a week to have a single teen on board. They never leave the mooring, boating it certainly isn't but no doubt it looks good when you write it down. Might as well be a prison cell. When one waves a knife around, the so-called carers retreat to the car park and call the police to deal with it, saying nothing to the neighbours who are mostly pensioners not equipped to deal with a knife wielding youth. All this kind of expensive papering over the cracks activity gets me down, while there is supposedly no money for social care for those who really need very little but get nothing.

Don't tar all with the same brush. I wish we got that sort of dosh, per participant. Then we could pay staff better, commensurate with average wage for their role.
