The PM, elected by a pitiful few Tory party members, is having his strings pulled by his non elected bureaucrat advisers. And he has the balls to prattle on about democracy. Another Eton Mess!

But I have also been very clear in my criticism of his performance as leader of Labour in the house, he's been unable to defeat the weakest Tory government in living memory - graphically stated as grasping defeat from the jaws of victory. I don't agree with most criticisms of Corbyn, but I do agree he's not bright enough for the task. Had Labour been headed by a more middle of the road leader with real political skills Brexit would have been dead in the water a long time back. My personal biggest criticism of Corbyn is as a life long socialist he has no business backing this rightwing coup called Brexit. Disagree its a right wing coup? Take a look at the Johnson and his Cabinet. Corbyn is a supporter and friend of known terrorists and terrorist groups. He openly supported an illegal group carrying out terrorist acts, including indiscriminate murder to further their agendas. He is a lifelong EU hater. He refuses to recognize his own countries national anthem or respect it's military veterans and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in two world wars (wars which incidentally allow your country its freedoms of today). He is anti semetic and has interfered in where he shouldn't have in his own party's investigations into anti semetism in the party. Which criticism of him is it exactly that you disagree with?

beautifulthailand99 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Even Johnson's brain implant Cumming's ran businesses in Russia - funny that .... Unlike these professional politicians, Cummings had what he calls “proper jobs” between leaving Oxford and joining the anti-euro campaign in 1998. “I’m not claiming I was good at anything,” he says, “but working in nightclubs and starting businesses in Russia counts as ‘the real world’.” According to reports, the nightclub belonged to his uncle Phil; and the Russian business was an airline that folded after its first flight left without a single passenger. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/aug/15/dominic-cummings-blog-political-values Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, both Johnson and Raab who voted for the deal, soon backtracked to support a no-deal if it comes to that on 31st October. Whether Rees-Mogg would support them, we'll have to wait and see. But the lesson to learn from this is who could trust this bunch of self-interest Tory MPs to follow through with any promises they make? Without sacrificing the UK in the process, that is?

stephenterry Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 21 hours ago, JonnyF said: Indeed, I don't think any Brexiteers expect the same deal after we left. It's simply a strawman argument that Remainers put forward to justify their 'unicorn' analogy. Same as they claim it was all about immigration, more nonsense. Every Brexiteer I know accepts there will be short term disruption and dealing with the EU will be more difficult. However, the benefits of leaving far outweigh the disadvantages. They attack the straw man because they cannot refute our real reasons for wanting to leave. Quite sad really. It is very clear from the UK government's own reports that there would be long-term damage to the UK economy, businesses and jobs, and at least months of continuous disruption following Brexit that would adversely affect most households. To assume otherwise is just not the reality. I can only think of one long-term benefit - unfortunately hoped-for trade deals would take several years to implement. And if it not realised, any prospective produce deals with the USA are fraught with endangering UK health statistics even further than present, owing to the fact that the 'US diet' and health stats are among the world's worst. The EU and UK are 'nutritionally' light years ahead of the USA in this respect, ensuring the banning of many toxic animal chemicals, hormone, and plant pesticides that are permitted for use in the USA. You have been warned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not label your opponents 'Traitorous Back-Stabbers'? Or 'Enemies of the State'? Or go on about how they have 'Betrayed the People'? Or worse (history can provide some of the more vile and odious phraseology)? Hey UK! Do you realize that after you are done ripping yourselves apart, you will need to mend the differences and work as a team again? Especially when you have driven away your largest markets and many of your friends, partners, allies and acquaintances? I have said it before and will say it again... Never before have I seen a country so utterly determined to shoot itself in the crotch ...and when this kind of language* fails to motivate the Brexit camp, expect "foreigners" to find its way into the rhetoric. ???? *I'm referring to Boris' tantrum, by the way.

I am reminded of Alf Garnett who would be quite capable of ridiculing anything and everything from his armchair, but that's as far as it goes. IMO, 'Leaving' as an issue, should have an end result that would benefit the UK. From posters remarks on this forum, the 'benefit' is a No Deal plan. I can't wait...

They failed with the collaberateur May and her Surrender Treaty but are still recalcitrant even in the face of No Deal. It’s time to simply Leave No Deal. They can try to come up with something when we are completely extricated from the EU clutches. I take it there's a great plan in place following a no-deal - or is everyone going to sit twiddling their thumbs and blaming all and sundry for the Uk's demise. For clarity, there are always consequences following an act, and currently there's no solution to resolve those - or none on here, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
