I found this on another website but it was written down and not narrated. Oliver Cromwell's Speech to the English Parliament 20th April, 1653. It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonoured by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money. Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not barter'd your consience for bribes?Is there a man that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth? Ye sordid prostitutes, have you not defil'd this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and picked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress'd, are yourselves gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors. In the name of God, go! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyf Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Like all brexit rhetoric, easier said than done. The UK government’s no-deal Brexit tariff plan would be “illegal” under World Trade Organisation rules, the EU commissioner in charge of agriculture has said. Phil Hogan characterised the British plan, which would see no duties levied on goods entering Northern Ireland across the border, as “a political stunt, pure and simple”. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-no-deal-tariff-wto-trade-eu-theresa-may-northern-ireland-a8825076.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't whine about that. Then we blame the EU commissioner in charge of agriculture, Phil Hogan. 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 7by7 Posted March 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2019 20 hours ago, talahtnut said: No one voted for a deal, anyway it is treaty not a deal and doesn't seem that popular in parliament does it, it involves taxation without representation. Maybe we're all wrong and you're right. I expect you will get your way, because the EU is like a jail, there is no escape. The main reason May's deal has been defeated yet again in Parliament is because Labour MPs have followed the party line and voted against it or abstained simply because it was presented by a Tory government! But I didn't ask you why it isn't popular in Parliament; I asked you what you had against it and with what you you would replace the parts you were against. In typical Brexiteer fashion, you have dodged the question; you simply wont give a straight answer to a straight question! Is it because you, too, are simply following the party line rather than thinking for yourself? OK, you presumably, voted to leave. So what did you expect to happen with regards to trade with our major trading partner after we left? We need a deal with the EU, they need a deal with us; but we need it more than they do. If signing a trading deal, or treaty if you prefer, with the EU is so disasterous, why do all the world's major trading countries already have one, are negotiating one or want to negotiate one? 20 hours ago, talahtnut said: it involves taxation without representation. In what way? The so called divoirce settlement?

I am aware of those facts, thank you. I also belive that in a democracy people have the right to change their mind; don't you? Are you going to attempt an answer to my questions? I am intersted in all opinions, and you have a far better chance of convincing me to change mine on Brexit by presenting reasoned arguments rather than propoganda puffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Brexit has been completed , you can then ask for another referendum about whether the U.K rejoins the E.U or not, but firstly you have to comply with the previous referendums results . In General elections, can you vote Tory , then a few weeks later, go back and ask to change your vote ? No, you cannot , once you have voted, thats it . 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a politician without principles is worthless. "I am in no doubt about my duty, which is to be true to my convictions and to dedicate the rest of my time in Parliament to the best interests of the people I was elected to serve." You were elected by your constituents to represent your constituents feelings and not your own principles. If you wanted to be elected for your principles then you should have stood as an independent and told the electorate (if you were elected) that you would decide how YOU wanted to vote and if the electorate didn't like it they could fire you at the next election. That is now a foregone conclusion. Councillor Martin Hill, vice president of the Grantham and Stamford Conservative Association, told members they had been "betrayed by their parliamentary representative" and called on him to take the "honourable course" and quit as an MP. He said the process of selecting a new candidate would start at the group's AGM later this month. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The time to make a final decision on such a major event is before it becomes irreversable; not after. If you started to cross the road and suddeny saw a car approaching at high speed, would you say, well I've made my decison, so I'll carry on across the road and let the car hit me; or would you change your mind and turn around? If we are allowed a final say and that final say, now that all the facts about both leaving and tremaioning are better known, is to leave, then so be it. Do you ever wonder why Remainers are not afraid of a second referendum, but Brexiteers are terrified of it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
