Pretty good speech, he is a formidable orator, would be even better if he didn't have to rely on his manuscript. Full marks for his very distinct pronunciation and slow speak, and his incredibly simple language, he is in class with, if not better than, Bill Clinton. Even Brexiteers should get his message. 5555 Disagree with his bits on UK and decline though, but never mind. However, he is somewhat out of touch with reality. For years Cameron was rambling about a referendum on EU membership, the referendum was arranged and the result was majority leave. That is the mural. The good viscount simply choses to disregard that. Not so good. His ideas about revoking A50 and then negotiate a UK brexit deal while being a full member of EU? Dream on viscount.

The UK Parliament has to stop listening to the screaming on the streets, ignore the terrible UK press and do what is the best for the UK (52% + 48%) overall. Parliament is sovereign and that is what the wood heads also paid for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving the EU is a political change What concrete benefits to these people ACTUALLY want? More secure employment? Better services? Bigger pensions? Cheaper food? What? WHAT? As has been pointed out many times before, it is freedom from EU law makers, the ability to make our own laws and regulations to suit OUR country rather than the one size fits all approach from the unelected bureaucrats in Brussels, plus an escape from the ever closer union that those same bureaucrats crave. We'll never get another chance to escape. People think it's difficult to leave the EU now. In 5-10 years time it'll be impossible. As a nation of innovators and resilience we are more than capable of navigating the rocky waters that may follow a no deal Brexit, as has been proven so many times in the past. Personally I (and I suspect most other Brexiteers) would prefer to leave with a deal. But unfortunately the majority our MPs are determined to stop Brexit, and may just force a no deal departure with their antics. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
