What you mean I made a ridiculous and easily refuted claim about the nationality of MPs in Parliament?!

 

You need to up your game, you’re not making sense.

Banks has failed to account for the source of seven million pounds he passed over the the Leave Campaign.

Plod & the electoral commission didn't get anywhere so how have YOU managed it?

 

Can you help re Sorros & Miller in the other direction?

Maybe this rigmarole, this absurd circus on that wet miserable island, this back and forth between yes stay, no stay, maybe stay, stay if, don't stay unless... should be cut short by having continental Europe vote on whether they want the islanders to stay or not :that might very well amount to kicking them out of the EU :Boris will then be able to get a nice deal with the orange clown across the Atlantic.

Why , as an Englishman , would he willfully destroy his own country ?

 

What agenda could he have that he would need to do this ?

An American born to British parents you mean. A man who, up to 5 years ago before the US changed their tax laws to include all worldwide income, possessed US nationality and passport. So not entirely 'his' country

He's backed by investors and millionaires who've all shorted the GBP. If the UK crashes out the GBP will plummet and they'll make billions. 

If that happens, he is still PM and doesn't have to call an election before 2022, but likely will, when he thinks the % point lead is enough. 

Then he can create the low cost, low wage, low workers' rights, economy that those same investors and millionaires want; with a low value GBP for their foreign currency earnings to exploit and create the tax avoidance haven they all want.

 

But some still think he's just an old fashioned simple patriot doing his best for the country!

 

Read what his own sisters says about him!

I think you are giving Boris far too much credit.  Certainly some of those pushing him will have that agenda but Johnson is no where near that canny.

 

Getting his leg over, squeezing the odd thigh under the table and enjoying a bottle of Bolly is about all Johnson is capable of unless someone else is pulling the strings and clearly that is happening now.

I found this example of hate and misleaded UK politics 

Didn’t fight two world wars to be shackled to EU!’ Brexiteers rage at ‘propping up’ EU

Brexit news: Keith Hawker said Brexit was about 'democracy' (Image: EXPRESS)

[Pedrogaz]

Go Boris. Take the election if it occurs before October 31st. Refuse it if it doesn't. 

We want a no deal Brexit. The is plenty of time for a deal after we leave and are in a position of strength to negotiate.

What is misleading about it.....Britain is the second largest contributor after Germany. That's propping up the corrupt EU. And where exactly is the hate? The only hate I have seen is from the anti democratic Remainers who have refused to accept the result of the referendum. The fundamental of democracy relies on people accepting laws and policies even when they don't personally benefit from them or they disagree with the law or policy.

Blimey, assuming he was 18 at the beginning of WW1 he must be at least 125 years old today.

The EU don't seem to be too worried about one of their main 'props' going. They know full well we depend on their trade far more than they do.

You asked who the backers were, I’ve given you some of the most prominent and all of whom are open about their financial backing.

 

Odey in particular boasted of the £200 million he made on the Leave result and has placed a £300 miiliin bet against the UK in the Brexit negotiations.

If this is true then he is backing himself, not Leave or the Tories. It's a speculative gamble and he could lose.

You are totally wrong. 

UK government represent just the half of population...... If they are going the Highway to (Hell) Brexit. 

And the other half? 

Who is presenting them?? 

A responsible government would go the way of a compromise, probably as a coalition of 2 or more parties. 

What you described is dictatorship ????

Use your brain I would suggest :

in what position of strength you would be after BREXIT? A small country between the blocks: EU, US, China ...... Who wants to listen to such a nutshell compared to the blocks? 

Same as Thailand would start giving guide lines how trade deals have to be in future. Who do you think would follow? Nobody. 

UK will be always an appendix following the EU, maybe not voluntarily ????

Your use of the term ‘traitors’ reveals your zealotry but says nothing else meaningful.

Thanks. That’s another badge I’ll wear with pride. Not that any of them mean much when awarded from the pinko side.

The Uk Government does indeed have a coalition of two parties, which makes up the majority

Oh he doesn't want to destroy the country he just wants to continue being PM, whatever the cost. He wants to show that he delivered brexit, if it's a no deal brexit people won't start losing their jobs until after an election and he will already be PM (or so he thinks) so it won't matter. The EU and the UK will no doubt meet again and a new trade agreement will be thrashed out as neither side wants a damaging no deal to continue but obviously the conditions for the UK can never be as good as before brexit, yes BMW's and Mercedes will have tariffs on them but that wont stop people buying them in fact all these car companies have to do is to lower the prices to be in line with the prices on the continent, the UK car prices have always been elevated above the normal market price (hence grey market cars) because the British public are prepared to pay higher prices, I don't see a great deal of damage for the EU. 

The British already succeeded to bring down their export prices with a 17 % ( Pound from € 1,35 to now € 1,13 and equivalent for US$). For a a 634 Bn exports... good job. Just a 107 Bn pounds less revenue... The 665 Bn imports... also cost a 17% more. As no British revolt.. all are happy with this. 31 % of the voters in favour of a Brexit Now. Just a 200 BN pounds/year difference... who cares. For sure not Dominic Cummings and his puppet, Boris the Liar.

Position of strenght ? a 67 mln people island against 425 mln ? or a GDP of US$ 2,808 Bn  against 27-EU of 18,748-2,808= $ 15,940 ? so a 5,7x as high ? ?

Which referendum ? You mean the one, 48,11% voted for only one option = Remain, while 51,88% voted for a range of "Leave". Never was mentioned: Brexit, whatever the consequences will be. 

A democracy means a 48% minority has some rights, and parliament’s duty is to honour them with a compromise. Till now only no, no, no, no, no, no 

Just a month, and we will see, when British imports into the EU have to face WTO-rule import duty, and travellers to face a Schengen visa, as coming from a "third country".

The British democracy: the one with only one vote more as the competition in one of the 650 constituencies gets the seat, the rest nothing.  UKIP with 4 mln votes... has no seat at all. 50% + 1 of the seats = government, which can - nearly - do as they please. 

One House is elected on this way, the other - with  hardly anything to say - is appointed. But still complaining about EU civil servants, who are appointed ( just like in the UK) and are under control of the EU council = the heads of government of the EU member states.
