Sadly, Great Britain seems to be following Trump on the road to chaos!  Boris even looks like Trump in the photographs. 

 

When is the world going to learn that chaos only leads to wars?

Unfortunately, when they are sitting in the rubble surrounded by dead bodies.

Talk about stressful to watch, OMG, with that traffic what could you do.

 

I recall when my daughter was 2, she swallowed a Mentos lolly which her mum gave her without my knowledge, we were at Swampy and walking along, when our daughter started choking, I asked my wife whats wrong with her, what did she eat, and her reply was a Mentos, you could imagine me going to into shock after reading all the time how many kids choke on those round small battery's the size of a Mentos, but not as thick...fark me, I grabbed her, pick her up, and flipped her upside down and gave her a smack on the back as onlookers were wondering what the fark was going on, and it flew out, thank God with the little one crying.

 

The wife got a few words from me I can tell you, I will leave it at that.

 

But well done to all who assisted, sad to hear the bub has some brain function problem, and hope recovers to normal, because as he grows, he will get a serve of it from everyone else in this world ????

 

Lucky escape. There is a technique called the "heimlich manoeuvre" ... worth checking out on You Tube ...

Paste the paragraph you quoted into a google search and it will take you to the Facebook page our Brexiteer member ripped the content from.

 

He hasn’t provided a link because he’s rightly embarrassed by where he finds his views.

A case of "I knew what I was voting for" ... a Facebook meme funded by unknown sources.

Why would I be crying? It has no direct effect on me as I live in Thailand and earn in Baht and have done for over 12 years. 

 

I suggest you enjoy your gloating while it lasts though. Brexit will happen in the end, if Remainers want to drag this process on for another couple of years then they can accept the consequences for that but it won't change anything, there is no way this genie is going back into the bottle. You can force delay upon delay, there will be a General Election sooner or later. Revoke? Get ready for Farage, he isn't going anywhere either.

 

You can only ignore the wishes of the people for so long. If you wish to harm the country by putting it on hold for another 2-3 years while Parliament embarrasses itself then feel free, it won't change the result in the end. 

The "people" are dying every month, and are being replaced by younger people who don't hate "johnny foreigner" ... or even use that term?

Farage is a busted flush. All he'll do is gift marginal seats to the Liberal Democrats from the Tories. Ruth Davidson's hatred of lying Johnson will boost the SNP, she will not be campaigning for Johnson's Brexit and she is one of the few Tories who are popular in Scotland. London will be a good stamping ground for the Lib Dems. 

It's either Brexit with a deal or no Brexit at all after a second referendum ... take your pick.

Likely this will come down to either a Lab/LibDem coalition or Brexit/Conservative coalition. My money is on the latter. London is just a small part of England, the rest of the country overwhelming wanted to regain sovereignty.

 Of course, should Lab/LibDem win an election they will let us have a 2nd election. A second vote, to make sure people really understood what they voted for. And then maybe a 3rd? All this time without actually assuming power and governing as per the electoral mandate. Right?!

For the last month Boris Johnson has been charging around the UK with a bag of Philip Hammond's savings making spending announcements left, right and centre ... as well as charming our European friends and trying to con them that he is serious about a deal. So far so good, and with no opposition to deal with you get a boost in the polls.

But that mask slipped only recently, the pursuit of "a deal" was a sham and the real objective was to run down the clock, engineer a "no deal" Brexit and then go to the polls once we are out of the EU, but before the disaster of "no deal" becomes apparent to voters, thereby eliminating the threat from the Brexit Party, ensuring victory. That's what prorogation was all about. And now he looks increasingly rattled and less assured. It turns out that he's mistaken Dominic Cummings inspired bullying as a strategy. But neither he nor Cummings are half as clever as they think they are ... and voters are waking up to him. Expect another hung parliament with the Lib Dems forcing through a second referendum. Factor in demographics and death statistics and we'll find that the current "will of the people" is Remain.

Don't shoot the messenger.

LOL ... old people smashing up tea rooms, and wastrels setting fire to the Benefits office? I’m scared.

He doesn't want one, but when Parliament is acting against the result of the democratic referendum there is a solid case to let the people decide (again!).

 

Funny how all the Remainers have been crying out for a second vote, and when they get their chance they don't want it because they know they'd get smashed at the polls and you'd end up with a massive Leave majority in Parliament.

 

The opposition are likely to vote against a General Election so they can keep their Remain Parliament and continue to frustrate the process for another couple of years. For Remainers complaining about the pound weakness, buckle in because these games are only making it worse and embarrass the UK political system even further.

Where you crying as you wrote that? I thought Brexit was about “taking back control” by Parliament? Now it seems to be about tinpot dictators shutting down parliament to deny elected representatives a say? Labour not falling into a trap that would enable Johnson to engineer “no deal” ... Johnson looking increasingly rattled now that he is getting some push back. He looks increasingly like a loser ... a fitting end to his career as a political chancer.

That little dog will be getting sent back to the dog pound .... poor little sod.

They’re already backpedaling. Leadsom said those 21 MPs would get a second chance at the next vote. Does she really think anyone cares? 

It was confirmed shortly afterwards that they will in fact lose the whip. So "Poundland Churchill" has just sacked Churchill's grandson.

Boris Johnson single handedly destroys his own party ... instead of "taking back control" he completely loses control ... and his transparent ruse to force a General Election is likely to back fire badly ... he won't get that until "no deal" is off the table.

Rejoice, Rejoice, Rejoice!

No idea what you are talking about? No point in posting about your experiences and then talking in riddles. Does that mean you gave him some money? 

No.

You put too much emphasis on personal issues like whether someone smiles at you or not and not enough on systematic changes to the terms of living here for a foreigner ... new immigration rules that give the impression that they want to get shot of as many westerners as possible, with the exception of those foreigners who are willing to pay for the privilege through elite visa system or by leaving large sums of money dead in a Thai Bank account. And constant monitoring through TM30 ... they will soon be microchipping your arm at the airport. 

Although the rules have constantly changed over the decades we’ve only really seen this since the military’s coup ... with a growing emphasis on nationalism.

My conclusion is that the rules are designed to make you feel unwelcome ... because you are.

His plan will be to hit people with pain now and just before the election they will magically make a deal and hope that everybody forgets how erratic the policy was and how it was always about a popularity contest.

I think that may be his thinking, but China may have other ideas, and prolong it through 2020 to get rid of him. They might start dumping US Treasury Bonds in the run up to the vote.

The only positive is that by trashing the stock market and pushing the US into recession he’ll be a one term president ... winning.

The US tried tariffs before, during the 1930’s, with all the same clowns cheering them on ... towards the Great Depression.
