The Brexit Thread

I didn't vote leave to piss anyone off.

Again I didn’t mention anyone Tory-the story is about Corbyn.The fact is at least 200 IRA gunmen were let off by Blair-200 who blew innocent people away on a regular basis.

Whilst you mention it however can you imagine Corbyn defending the Falklands?We would still be considering the question!How can anyone in the armed forces have any confidence in this anti western pacifist?

Well i.ve been involved since day one and everybody i.ve met voted LEAVE to extricate us from the cesspit that is the EU and to give us the opportunity to make Britain great again without the likes of Makron and Merkel telling us what we can and can't do and I don't know anyone who even thought about Cameron.

Unfortunately when it was planned nobody thought we.d have such a bunch of spineless MP.s who are so scared to take the leap because they're shitting themselves that they.ll get kicked off their gravy train. But I think whats happened to Bole will focus a few Tory MP.s into realising their local party chairman have a lot more control over their future as an MP than Mother Terressa ever can.

So Blair did that we shouldn't prosecute British Soldiers who massacred unarmed British citizens our own soil. I thought the Conservatives were a party of law and order ?

But your digs at Corbyn come from a very obvious place Andrew, whilst you completely overlook/ignore any past mistakes by the side you align yourself with.

Probably not, he's not going to be PM anyways so it isn't something to be concerned about is it, which makes your obsession with skating him all the more strange.

The Tories have made huge mistakes-I have not denied that.I also see a very real risk of Corbyn being elected on the back of the incompetence of the other parties.

As for the Peace Process-we should have adopted the Mandela mantra which attempted to erase all past bad behaviour.Its grossly unfair to let one side off and not the other-and I accept innocent people were killed by both sides.

Can't see it happening to be honest. Even with all of this shit he's still behind in the polls.

We maybe should have, but that was never going to work because in the case of SA the side viewed as the terrorists won, so they had something to gain from clearing any of their own who had committed crimes as well as the other side.

Once again, parliament's decision making is deliberately blocking the will ov da peepul to return decision making to parliament :-@ Once brexit has happened and decision making is returned to parliament this kind of decision making by parliament will be stopped!

Well done Bercow. She now needs to do what she said she was gonna do all along and tell them to give us what we want or we’re off on the 29th.

Lets just go no deal - I dont think the EU are going to budge.

Im sure I can live without lettuce and onions in the non growing season!

No deal is not as bad as some would make out - its not going to be Mad Max!

I'm sure we can manage without BMW's, Audi's and French wines as well.

In the middle ages we lived without most things apart from straw, daub and bread

The bloke at the bus stop who showed the rest of the queue how to put your hand in a litter bin, push up and find the latch that empties the ashtray into your palm, so you can pick out the best dowts, certainly can live without most things the eu offers

Doesn't mean you'd want to though.

If they can’t vote on this Deal a third time, then it’s brings the prospect of a ‘No Deal’ back to the table - If, as now looks possible we go to the special EU summit with no change in our postion, it takes just one of the EU twenty seven to say no to an extension and off we toddle...

Didn't we mention Hungary would vote against

I am still not getting this notion of a new vote either for to stay in or accept May's deal.

May's deal or a no deal vote surely!

If the government renege on this then it will be opening a can of worms as if democracy is ignored then what is the difference to little Johnny sticking a brick through your front window?

He should be allowed to get away with it as his view is different to yours and his vote is counted but ignored.

If this is how they want things to be then it is of their own making.

One's a criminal act and the other is taken in the best interests of the country?

About 50% of people still support the death penalty but they've been told to [censored] off because it's a damaging and irreversible kneejerk reaction to a problem. Much like Brexit really.

And Big Nige isn't on the walk today rumour is hes off down to Bristol to collect a very heavy but non-descript looking bag from a prominent West Country insurance tycoon and then its a first class flight to Budapest apparently.

NO DEAL ON THE 29TH BRING IT ON

Why do you think there'll be no lettuces out of season? The supermarkets effectively already own the firms who grow them in Spain. So I can't see a problem other than Mr Tesco seeing it as an opportunity to raise prices.

Arron managed to borrow some more cash of the Russians then ?

Farage was never going to do the walk, yet again hes tried to push his man of the people image and then ran away.

According to Oakshot he's at the EU parliament fulfilling his duties as an MEP, I'm surprised he knows where it is considering how little he's been there for the last 20 years whilst we've been paying him.

Genuine question, can anyone name a department, council service or government run institution which isn't in crisis at the moment?

Insure the supermarkets will use it as an excuse to put food prices up initially.

Ive applied for an allotment but haven't heard back yet.

My back garden virtually is a bloody allotment, can't do bugger all with it of late mind you but the work done in previous years has been paying dividends and my kids eat freshly picked fruit/veg on a daily basis from it throughout the long harvesting period that I managed from different varieties of the same fruit for example.

It does make me chortle a bit that just because of the fear of Brexit that folk now think that growing your own is the way forward, to be fair it might be a good thing as it is a fun thing to do for a start and it doesn't half attract our feathered friends into your garden.

It looks a bit more messy but I now leave the apple/pear windfalls as I noticed that the hedgehogs were taking them underneath the shed and the hungry birds in the winter were glad of them.

Couple of Thrushes hanging around as well the other day as well - I would guess of the 'Song' variety as they looked smaller, and a pair of Blackbirds building a nest all day eight foot from where I am sitting now, ah the joys of spring.

Bugger - wrong thread

Just get the Prosecco on ice for the 29th..non of that Champagne rubbish for me, give the Italians the business

I still think that this should renew the way food is grown, imported, wasted etc.
There’s nothing cheaper than food that is in season.
Strawberries at Christmas is probably the best example. The generations that have grown up expecting to buy fruit and veg all year round are going to have to learn.*
* That is if we suddenly stop importing fruit and veg from the entire globe

Starting to look like we will be leaving on 29th with no deal. Bring it on. Tick tock.

You couldn’t make it up.

“No 10 added that the PM shared the public's "frustration" at Parliament's "failure to take a decision".”

Parliament have made a decision. Twice. May’s deal has been comprehensively rejected, or hasn’t she noticed? The thing is Theresa, if you ask Parliament to vote that’s exactly what they’ll do. You might not like the outcome but they’ve made a decision.

Problem is HER decision-making, not Parliament’s.

If we all followed the brilliant example of Todmorden in West Yorkshire, we would be better for it.

And told to [censored] off straight back by the eu, either May 23rd to avoid elections, or longer (next year) to make it worthwhile to have elections. Anything else would remove representation from British citizens while they were in the EU. Nicely thought through theresa there (like all the 'th's in that sentence)

Still, a 1000 days since the referendum and it's all going swimmingly as the brexiters promised.

Are the Italians leaving the EU too? That’s excellent news, unlimited supplies of Prosecco it is then, though Parma ham is a poor substitute for my favourite Bratwurst.

May stated no less than 108 times before the HoC that we would be leaving the EU on 29th March. You cannot believe anything she says, high time she went for a long, long walk in the Welsh hills.

I would challenge anyone to try and achieve anything in this mess-problem here is a minority government, a loony opposition and an entity that do not want us to leave their cabal because we pay them £10bn pa.

Another 10 weeks til the end of May.

Toyota have today announced they are to build a new model in the UK, in partnership with Suzuki. Don't expect to see this good news on the BBC.

I doubt many people will miss her-though I admire her tenacity.She must be absolutely at wits end

Well it wasnt a minority government until someone called a snap election in 2017 after promising numerous times that she wouldnt. I agree about sections of a loony opposition but Mrs May has no one to blame for the current predicament but herself and her own party.

I don’t disagree-she let the genie out of the bottle and Corbyn promising to unilaterally write off all student loans didn’t help.

I think the strategy going into the next election for all sides will be to promise the earth then break all promises.

"I think the strategy going into the next election for all sides will be to promise the earth then break all promises."


Never known that to happen before !!!!!!

She's just failed to turn up for a meeting with the 1922 committee to discuss the situation, rumours are she could be on the way out (not before time).

She said something in coded language at PMQs .....so Laura Doomsburg said, that hinted she might be off, and not to Brussels.
Get us out ! ......Next Friday as per the Law
