ewerk 30266 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I suggest a referendum on who wants to repeatedly punch Sebastian Payne in the face. That would bring the country together. I’ve nothing against him personally but he looks like a cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Guardian doesn't know what's going on anymore. So confusing. Quote I just made an error: the vote hasn’t failed, an amendment by the former minister George Eustice was just defeated by 304 ayes to 313 noes.

But as the amendment had the wrong number it couldn’t be Cooper’s. meanwhile Everything starts to remind me of “Life ofBrian” What has the EU ever done for us? People, we should struggle together.

Rayvin 5176 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I just want to say that the Daily Mail comment section makes for glorious reading on this. Full of the usual "traitors", "will of the people", blah blah but also those certain individuals who believe that within a few years, the EU will send troops into the UK to kill them. Some who think that we will have a second referendum and that if remain wins it will have been rigged. "The people will erupt if this goes through". "We're now worse than Iran, Russia and North Korea(!)" I don't know if we'll get any kind of Brexit that will satisfy me - probably we won't. But I'm going to enjoy the apoplexy over this for all the schadenfraude I can get from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5176 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Vote Leave encouraging de-selection of Remain Tories. Speaking of, we should probably get on that for Pro-Brexit Labour MPs. Edited April 4, 2019 by Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34846 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) The thing is about Morgan, he doesn’t even believe the shit he spouts most of the time (and this is almost certainly true in this instance). He’s just the worst kind of irresponsible populist, saying what he thinks people want to hear knowing he’ll be fine come what may.

Alex 34846 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Another thing I’ve seen argued lately is that because Cameron warned about the prospect of no deal before the referendum, no deal is what people voted for. I mean, seriously? So, the same people who claim everything else Cameron’s government said about the referendum was ‘Project Fear’ claim that they didn’t believe all the promises Leave made about great deals being made to the UK’s advantage but instead believed that statement made by Cameron (who wanted us to stay in). That’s what you’re attempting to engage with in these sorts of debates. These people have convinced themselves that things which are demonstrably lies are the absolute truth. As I’ve said before it’s a shame you couldn’t have two countries where you had the no deal zealots in one and everyone else in the other. I wonder how many of them would actually go for it. Probably about as many people as went on Farage’s march. And, just like that, Farage wouldn’t be one of them Edited April 4, 2019 by Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
