Rayvin 5223 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 5 minutes ago, Renton said: The Tories have only had a majority government in 2 out of the last 21 years, and even then it was a water thin majority. You're not going to like it but the problem now is Corbyn is the worst opposition in living memory. Virtually anyone else would have annihilated the Tories by now. Dont disagree with that Corbyn assessment now, which will be annoying if the whole thing falls apart now and he turns around and spanks them since I'll lose my 'I told you so' privileges, but still. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be an extension or revocation of Article 50 before it comes to that. The EU won't reject what is on offer, it will be the basis of negotiations. The UK has moved in the right direction but not nearly enough to strike a deal yet and they know that. You don't show your hand at the 'beginning' of negotations, there are more concessions to come if we want a deal. That's all very well, but that's not taking into consideration the highly motivated cunts in parliament who would happily see no deal. Or are you saying CT is right ( ) and that: a. May will complete negotiations for a very soft brexit & b. the Euro loonies on the Tory party will just give up Can just about see a but that will only happen with b...

Renton 21626 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) And where CT is wrong is in how soft this Brexit will be. It'll be softer than the next turd following a salmonella riddled vindaloo from lord Latif's. And just as unpleasant for the JRM's of this world.

Gemmill 44881 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Trump saying the UK is in turmoil a couple of days before he gets over here. If Theresa May wasn't such a lickspittle cunt, she'd cancel the visit and tell him to fucking ram it. I mean he's right, but he's basically having a pop at the person he's coming to meet.

This is where we're at now. She knows that there's no argument left for Brexit so let's just ignore that and bang on about the will of the people. They've given up even trying to create any benefits for it. There are a significant number of MPs knowingly and willingly trying to sabotage our country because they're too stubborn to admit that they were wrong. In the shit show we've seen over the last two years has there been a single MP who campaigned for Leave who has since admitted that it's a bad idea? The government will do u-turns on pensions, NICs and the dementia tax but not a single MP will change their mind over the biggest fuck up ever to face our country? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21626 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Well, only 6% of MPs and peers bothered to read the impact papers. Fair enough. I mean, it's not about how it impacts people's lives any more is it? It's about the will of the people. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jul/05/brexit-impact-papers-viewing-requests-made-by-just-6-of-mps-and-peers If this is democracy it can go fuck itself as far as I'm concerned.

Andrew 4748 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 What a load of fucking bollocks that tweet is. Political "Leaders" my arse, what is fucking leadership about that load of shite? I want my political leaders to have some fucking brains and the balls to do whats actually best for the people of the country, having the expertise and experience to do so regardless of whether a heap of people who don't understand the issues don't like it. Since when has letting "I want that, even though its known to be terrible for me" happen been the way to lead anything? You don't let your stupid fucking kids run into traffic or drink bleach because they wanted to, you fucking stop it because you know that its bad for them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
