The Daily Mail as your source? Bless. 

 

You'd do better backing up your opinions by providing a link to Viz comic.

Ah. Attack the source rather than the story. Classic Remainer tactic when they wish to ignore the point.

I looked for the story in The Guardian for our Europhile luvvies but it seems they are ignoring it, cant imagine why. 

How about The Times? Highbrow enough? Exactly the same story.

Good to see another Remainer accepting the will of the people. It only took 4 votes to get losers consent from Sir Keir but better late than never. Nobody will be forgetting his anti democratic actions though, that mud will stick and rightly so.

As for Diane Abbott, I'm not surprised she's keeping a low profile given that her privately educated son has been on the rampage assaulting police, health workers and exposing himself. Not a good look for someone who is the shadow home secretary.

What a joke Labour has become. Jess Philips running for leadership, says it all really.

The problem is we have to export our fish to the EU, there is not enough demand at home. And if we leave with no deal, those fish will become more expensive for the EU with tariffs.

Taking back control.....https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/french-company-wins-licence-to-monitor-british-fishing-boats-5dk8wp6gr

Yes, it's a huge bargaining chip for the UK. If the EU price out UK fish with tariffs we can offer them tarriff free as a sweetener on a trade deal with other countries. Meanwhile we respond to their tariffs by taxing German cars and French wine.

Or we can allow the EU to continue to fish our waters in exchange for concessions on other issues.

Win win. The EU is bricking it since the election.

But the UK exports of 357 billion pounds to the EU comprise 45% of our total exports whilst the 357 billion pounds of the EU is only 8% of the EU's exports.

Germany would be hit, yes, but the UK would be hit much more by no deal.

Germany is teetering on recession and basically runs and funds the EU (along with the French).

If they will be hit hard (which they will) by no deal then they will make a deal. The fact that all the spongers (net beneficiaries) that they fund do not export to the UK is of no interest to them. 

He who pays, decides. Germany needs the UK, so the EU needs the UK.

Lol, no... nice trolling by cherry-picking one sentence out of 6 or so and attacking the poster not the post (as usual on here), despite arrogantly quoting it all. Maybe you should have just quoted the bit after the ellipsis at the start to show that you can't be arsed to address the rest of the post. C'mon, you can do better than that.

At least he's still here. Credit where it's due.

Most of the remoaniacs have disappeared with their tails between their legs. Maybe 4 huge democratic defeats was one too many for even the most ardent anti Democrat. ????

The Self-Aware Party. That would be the UKIP and Brexit Party supporters here who have now jumped ship. Sort of.

Yeah it was a real shame your side couldn't sort out the tactical voting despite the massive push by key figures. Even websites were set up to show them how to vote to keep the Tories out. Yet the intellectual Remainers couldn't manage it.

Not surprising though, the Europhile traitors couldn't organize a bargirl in pattaya.

So then, that's one vote for the aristocratic and upper class Oxbridge graduates versus the middle class Oxbridge graduates. Fantastic.

Incorrect. 

Nothing to do with class. All about being honest about who you are and where you came from. 

The voters can see it even if you can't. Hence Labour's massive defeat. 

Quit whining, you lost for the fourth time. Suck it up buttercup.

We don't deserve the causticity or arrogance that keeps getting banded around on here. Would you like to sit down a tell us all about your dislike of other members that don't share the same views as you.

Shhhh. It's the arrogance combined with the stupidity that prevents them ever getting into power. 

If they became self aware they might have half a chance. 

Keep it on the low low ????

I guess you think Rees-Mogg had a better nanny.

Rees Mogg is honest about what he is. 

Unlike these middle class Oxford graduates pretending to be Oliver Twist to get votes from the working class. 

The main issue is price.

People can accept or even laugh about poor quality if it's dirt cheap like it used to be. Rustic charm and all that. When it's more expensive than back home, but the quality/service is absolutely terrible then the joke wears thin pretty quick. 

Once you factor in the soi dogs, sneering/violent taxi guys, aggressive immigration, corrupt cops etc. people don't want to return and post negative views on social media. It's been coming for years.

Indeed.

It appears that many are stuck in the symplistic "Millionaire Champagne Socialist" groove. Times have changed, anyone with a moderately sized house anywhere near the centre of London, is a millionaire. Champagne is no longer particularly expensive (It is just pish water to me, tastes foul, if you want a good bubbly white try Blanquette de Limoux). Socialists are no longer expected to live in squalor to prove how noble and self sacrificing they are. The Tories are awash with millionaires, indeed multi millionaires, many with inherited wealth (Starmer was a hard working top lawyer and DPP, he earned the bulk of his money).

Try removing the beam from your own eyes before making a fuss about the motes in the eyes of others.

 

"Starmer's problem is that he's a diehard Remainer, and that train has left the station." The train has left the station it is true, but I can't imagine that it will be a big issue in 5 years time. I expect that leavers will by then be wondering how they could possibly have been taken in by Farage et al, as UK plc continues to decline (Overtaken by India already, and about to be pushed into 7th place by France). Why they should blame Starmer anymore than any other person who supported Remain I can't see. If a week is a long time in politics, how long is 5 years? 

 

 

Being a champagne Socialist is not only associated to your wealth (although Starmer also ticks the wealthy box after 30 years in senior positions in law and politics). If you think he's worth a hundred grand, well... Any reference to his millionaire status was recently removed from Wikipedia when he decided to run for the leadership.

Born and raised in London before being Oxford educated, worked as a barrister before becoming part of the political class. A Europhile who opposes the democratic wishes of the electorate. Part of the Westminster elite, the closest he ever gets to immigrants is probably his Polish nanny or his Romanian cleaner. 

You think northern Labour voters are going to warm to him? Think they'll forget his betrayal of their vote? I'm sure he'd love everyone to forget the last 3 years but people are not that fickle, unfortunately for Sir Keir.

SIR Keir Starmer, the multi millionaire champagne socialist who spent the last 3 years trying to overturn the democratic vote to leave the EU? That Keir Stamer?

Yeah, he's sure to appeal to the Brexit voting northern heartlands. ????

Why not tackle the problem at source, simply stop the manufacture and supply of these bags. As long as shops can buy them they will give them to customers, particularly the mum and pop stores. 

You won't ever get rid of them completely. People use them as rubbish bags amongst other things, if they stopped making them altogether these people would have to buy the big black plastic bin bags to put their rubbish in, which are just as bad or arguably worse as they are thicker and tend to only be half full before they get thrown in the bin. 

A huge reduction in use in 2020 is better than a 100% overnight ban IMO. Learn to walk before trying to run.

That's the thing about comedy, what is funny to one person is not funny to another.

I didn't find it funny, but neither did I find it offensive. The age of consent in the UK is 16, in Sweden where Greta hails from, it is 15. Greta is now 17 years old (today actually, just googled it to check) so the 'mock outrage' shown by the usual virtue signalers doesn't really work. They really need to find something else to be outraged, shocked and disgusted by. Shouldn't take long, since they're always on the lookout.

Happens all the time, there is a 14 year old near us who the locals pay a couple of hundred Baht to do deliveries in his Dad's old Isuzu pickup (which looks like it shouldn't be anywhere near a road).

He's also 'geng maak' behind the wheel, apparently. ????
