Did you know that it was Hitler who first espoused the theory that if you repeat a lie often enough people will believe it? Did you know that it was Hitler that coined the phrase "Make Germany Great Again"? Always wondered where Dominic Cummings and Donald Trump got their ideas from. History repeating itself?

I believe that it is called a transfer of sovereignty - wherever possible done without having to resort to actually asking the people. I advise you to learn how the EU works as "transfer of sovereignty" is IMPOSSIBLE. The EU top decision layer is the EU council, consisting of the leaders of government of the EU member states, so inclusive the British. The EU Commission exists of a commissioner ( more seen as a kind of minister) of each EU member state, so .. still… inclusive the British The 3rd is the EU parliament, inclusive British members. The rest are civil servants, inclusive quite some British https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Civil_Service . As soon as the UK leaves the EU, they could ( As of 1 January 2018 there are staff from all member states, with the largest group being Belgian (15.7% – 5,060 out of 32,196). From the larger member states, 12.1% were Italian, 9.9% French, 7.5% Spanish, 6.7% German, 4.4% Polish and 2.8% British.[5] = https://ec.europa.eu/info/about-european-commission/organisational-structure/commission-staff_en ) Different as the UK, the EU will honour their cont4racts and obligations, meaning: No Brit will see his job cancelled ONLY because of Brexit, but they can continue till their contract expires. When it is one for .. "till retirement", they will have a job at the EU till… their retirements. The EU does not run away from its obligations as the British do. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheungWan Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 This parliament passed legislation that clearly permitted a referendum (Cameron: "said he wanted to renegotiate the UK's relationship with the EU and then give people the "simple choice" between staying in under those new terms, or leaving the EU". This parliament (including many that have no turned into Remainers) also agreed to European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. There was no "with or without a deal" clause, either in the referendum or in the act of parliament, and voters knew very well what they were voting for. I think Boris would be ready to go to jail rather than ask the EU for something neither he nor the UK (outside of London and Scotland) doesn't want. The EU refuses to negotiate, Merkel and Makron have said no more extensions, remaining under the Tersa May deal would make the UK worse off than before. Oliver Cromwell: 'In the name of God, go!' speech dismissing Rump Parliament - 1653 20 April 1653, London, England It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored 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 bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth? Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance. Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God's help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do. I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place. Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors. In the name of God, go! Can't play the Churchill card any more so its scrabbling around for Cromwell now for the dozy Hard Brexiteers who would be too lazy to have read about Cromwell's performance in Ireland.

There is no conflict. With every day day that passes Bojo’s mandate for Brexit shrinks which is why I just can’t find a brexiteer calling for a second referendum no matter how hard I look. Strange eh ? How strange that whenever Stomper brings that up and is given the answer he completely ignores it, waits a while & starts all over again.

Popular Post SheungWan Posted September 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2019 The comment by JAG (#7) seems well reasoned. I think that the PM has a duty to the people to see Brexit through. I find that the strategy adopted by his opponents, i.e. drafting a law to command the PM to do a specific action in a unique situation, to be a circuitous, if not cynical, avoidance of procedure. Meanwhile, the PM may have further options not discussed here yet, namely to thwart the Royal Assent by either the Government refusing to present the bill or by the PM advising the Queen not to sign the bill. (This is discussed in an article entitled "Brexit Spat Tests Tacit Dictum: Never Put the Queen on the Spot" in Saturday's Wall Street Journal). While this has apparently not happened since 1708, we are living in tumultuous times. The suggestion that the PM resign, if he cannot or will not execute such a command of Parliament, seems more like an act that a minister or bureaucrat would do in the face of a policy of the PM or the Government. Rather, if the PM somehow goes against the will of Parliament, the Tories could through the 1922 Committee replace the PM or the Parliament could take a no-confidence vote.There is a world of difference between seeing Brexit through and seeing no-deal Brexit through, but the dishonest Brexiteers would rather you conflate the two.Sent from my SM-N935F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or organize a second referendum, but out of pity, let's stop this indecision. Uncertainty is bad for the EU and killer for the UK. Only ONE solution: let the British "enjoy" their no deal Brexit for a year or so. Pity for the voters of "remain", but it will unify the country again After that, a) 95+% of the British ( or only the English, as the Scots + N-Irish "Left" before the Glorious UK) will "crawl on their knees" to "Brussels" to ask for a re-membership again, and all sabotage as from Thatcher onwards is over forever. ( as Charles de Gaulle said already in 1963: The British are Island dwellers, and will NEVER feel themselves continental Europeans ) b) The rest of the world has seen how dangerous it is to follow lying demagogues, and to vote with the "belley" instead of with the "brains". To give you an example: For decades the environmentalists were against any increase of the Dutch river dikes, as.. here was a special tree to protect, there the nest of a buzywonderbirds, another place the twisted-tail salamander... till in 1 feb. 1995 it really went wrong and a 250.000 people with as much as they "could carry" had to be evacuated out of the area between Rhine and Maas, sometimes in hours ( area around Ochten). https://wikikids.nl/Evacuatie_van_het_Rivierenland https://hydro-social-deltas.un-ihe.org/sites/hydro-social-deltas.un-ihe.org/files/mosquera_internship_report.pdf After that… never any comment anymore about enlarging and expanding the river dikes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyFawkes Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Just a thought - was it a waste of time passing the bill to delay Brexit? I ask because a newspaper is tonight reporting: The EU will refuse another delay to Brexit in the current circumstances, according to the France's Foreign Minister. Jean-Yves Le Drian said on Sunday that as things stand, a delay beyond the October 31 deadline would not be granted. Asked if a Brexit delay was possible, the French minister told Europe 1 radio not under the current conditions. "We are not going to do [extend] this every three months," he added. "The British must tell us what they want." He described the current situation as "very worrying". Only askin!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
