There has never been nor ever will be a majority for a revocation, soft Brexit, second ref or any other "unicorn" ideas you come up with. But keep saying it's his fault.

If someone else was leader of the Labour Party, there is every chance the Conservatives would have been obliterated by now. If David Miliband had been leader of the Labour Party in 2015, it is highly unlikely Cameron would have won outright to deliver his referendum. Etc. Corbyn has been a disaster, you appear to be the only one left not to acknowledge this. Expand I don't think David Miiband would have won in 2015. He had the Iraq/Blair legacy and the tories would have attacked his part in the crash (bollocks but would have played well). I'd add that if you think 1.6 million votes would have swung on a fuller remainer when the remain campaign as a whole was shite, you're dreaming.

Rayvin 6428 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Richard Graham, a Tory, asks May if she agrees that a no-deal Brexit could lead to the break-up of the UK. May says she has serious concerns about this. ?!?! Where were those concerns 3 months ago when 'No Deal was better than a bad deal'??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Didn't she claim eecently that she meant no deal as a metaphor or some such bollocks? But it leads back to my point earlier, why would Boris want the break up of the UK on his CV?

Rayvin 6428 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 But it means May could untangle a lot of this just by fessing up to what we already know. That Brexit is just a fucking shit thing for the country, and the only way she could try to deliver it, was by threatening and lying to people. The Brexiteers might actually give her some kudos for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4696 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I read something about how Robert Peel as PM stopped the Corn laws being passed as he thought it was for the good of the country and that cast the tories out of power for about 20 odd years. Can't see that happening now. I can see this shit show going on as well as there could be swings between pro EU Labour/others (post-Corbyn) and anti-eu tories/others for years to come.

Rayvin 6428 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Seems like the Tories are concerned that if a second referendum goes through, Scotland gets another one.
