Quite, but having an egg or milkshake thrown at one is not the same as being blown up, stabbed or shot!

It's identical in the eyes of a tactical firearms officer in the seconds that he has in which to decide whether an assailant or the person he is assigned to protect dies.

Did you really miss the point; or are you attempting yet another childish dig?

 

Either way, you have done yourself no favours.

Can I suggest you take another look (but first wait until the shock of last night's results wear off)?

Had another look, and it's still a typically petty childish comment from you. Though your fan club, as ever, hit the 'like' button without thinking, which obviously makes you feel big.

 

Do you mean the shock of the Brexit party receiving less than one third of the vote; and that support mainly due to voters abandoning UKIP for them? Whereas parties supporting Remain received a larger share of the vote! Include Labour, who campaigned on a second referendum, and the defeat for Brexit (the concept, not the party) is even larger.

 

That wasn't a shock to me, though obviously it was to you.

The current Conservative government was elected by 10M voters.

Brexit currently attracts 17M votes.

 

Prepare to lose the next GE!

Will the Brexit party be able to form a Government ?

Wouldnt they need candidates running in every Constituency ?

Farage's party attracted 5,248,533 votes; where did you get the other 11,751,467 from?

 

You are quite correct that the Tories may lose the next general Election; but if you think Farage will win then you really are living in cloud cuckoo land!

Not every, but they would need to be able to command a majority in the House; either from their own MPs or with a coalition of some sort.

 

Never going to happen. Enough British people may vote for Farage to carry on enjoying the MEP trough and increase his MEP pension and 'compensation' when Brexit finally happens; but very few would trust him to actually run anything more complex than the beer tent at a local fete!

That was 3 years ago the anti Brexit party the Lib-dems are now leading in the polls to elect a government.

Farage has more chance of winning the the has been 'Lib-Dems'.

Still, I'd be happy to see either of them or the Greens winning, just to see the ship sink.

What misinformation?

 

I'm not sure if Greybull are to blame. You'll find that many have positive things to say about them.

Everyone looks for a scapegoat in times like these, but it's quite likely to be a combination of factors.

They themselves suggest that they lost customers because of the uncertainty over Brexit and the what Gareth Stace states goes some way to confirm that point of view.

 

I haven't suggested that you have an agenda. In fact, I have made it clear that there is more that connects us than divides us. But there are some trying to drive a wedge betwixt us for perhaps political purpose.

None of us wants to see people who want to work out of work and we all want quality British manufacturing to thrive. It's not about Remain or Leave.

They did manage to find 40m to buy a French steel maker this year I read.Greybull are pretty much considered an asset stripper once they have taken out all fees and expenses of course.

The Brexit Party has only existed for 8 weeks. The Tory and Labour parties have a 3 year Brexit history. Haven't they done well.

Part of liberal/socialist/globalist/multicultural manipulation is to forget facts and pretend extreme ignorance when faced with anything they don't like. Their alternative attack is to call you a bigot/racist/stupid/old. I have very limited patience with such tactics, and either don't reply or put them on ignore.

Labour has certainly not done well; Corbyn refusing to put country before party.

 

On the Tory side, Johnson, Rees-Mogg and their hangers on have done the same.

 

Had they put the country first we would have left the EU on schedule on the 29th March.

From Dictionary.com:

currently:

adverb

at the present time; now

 

Now; not three years ago!

 

As the UK's European Parliament election results show, Brexit would attract far fewer votes if a second referendum was held now.

Are you saying that you don't know what the adverb 'currently' means and admitting you used it incorrectly, or are you making a feeble excuse for cocking up your claim of the current support for Brexit?

I thought you remoaners were claiming that the EU election didn't count as a Brexit vote?

So I have to refer back to the last GE and Brexit referendum, to get vote numbers you will accept as 'legit'.

 I have never made such a claim; in fact in this very topic I said the opposite!

Don't claim you never read that post; you quoted it in post 544! Remember? The one where you made your claim that 17 million people currently supported Brexit!

 

A claim the European Parliament elections have proven to be rubbish.

 

I can't speak for other Remainers (not 'remoaners;' why do you Brexiteers have to continuously resort to childish insults?) on this forum; but I have seen Brexiteers here in the UK dismiss the result as not counting as an indication of the current support for Brexit. Including a newly elected Brexit party MEP the day after the results were announced desperately trying to make excuses for his parties poor performance in London.

My previous remarks concerning the results of the European parliament elections in the UK, repeated above as despite your previously quoting them you now seem to have conveniently forgotten them, show that I do, in fact, accept them as legit. Despite your attempts to claim otherwise.

 

The UK results of the European Parliament elections show that here in the UK support for Brexit is reducing; as it has been ever since the lies and fool's paradise promises of the Leave campaign were first exposed!

In the words of Billy Joel...you may be right. The UK European Parliament election results confirm only a split but not a new remain majority. Conversely and currently, you may be wrong, it could be just as easily 18 million leave votes by now.

Interesting fact about the Brexit Party, they are 1/4 odds on to win the Peterborough by election, their nearest rival Labour 4/1 and next Lib/Dems on 16/1, old Nigel is doing something right.

The last general election was not a vote about Brexit , it was a vote for the various different political parties and candidates .

   You are getting your referendums  and general elections mixed up and confusing the two

The Brexit party are the favourites currently, but the best odds available in the UK are 2/9 (Source). Seems their odds are lengthening!

 

Meanwhile, the bookies have the Conservatives as favourites to win the most seats at the next general election. Most having them at 6/5 or better. Labour are second, with odds also around 6/5 and 'Any other party' are third. The Brexit party are fourth at 6/1 up. (Source)

 

Obviously the bookies think people will register a protest vote at the by election, but vote differently at a general one.

 

But as the bookies made Remain odds on favourites in 2016, I'm surprised you place any faith in their predictions!

 

Addendum:

Quoted odds correct at time of writing.
