Just this once, because trying to explain to you everything you don't understand about Brexit is surely beyond anyone's realistic expectation
We've also agreed to pay the complete 'divorce' bill before we even find out whether we have a trading agreement
Britain will be legally bound to pay its £39bn Brexit divorce bill before the details of a future EU trade deal are agreed, a minister has admitted.

(Try using 'Brexit means Brexit' and 'Red, White and Blue Brexit' instead - much harder to pin down :thumbsup)

It’s all about the European bloc trade deal. We can refuse to pay anything on Brexit but the first question when we sit round the table with the 27 to do a deal, which we will have to do, is “Right, about that £35-40 billion.”

They only have one policy and that varies in severity depending on Farage's relevance and the amount of money it's bringing in for the Farage Party...….. He's not going to stand for MP by the way, he says he's better off touring the country and supporting other candidates...….
This puts me very much in mind of The Life of Brian scene 10 The Peoples Front of Judea , attack on Pilates Palace..... for " Reg" read " Nigel Farage "
FRANCIS: Now, this is the palace in Caesar's Square. Our commando unit will approach from Fish Street, under cover of night, and make our way to the northwestern main drain. If questioned, we are sewage workers on our way to a conference. -- Reg, our glorious leader and founder of the P.F.J., will be coordinating consultant at the drain head, though he himself will not be taking part in any terrorist action, as he has a bad back.
BRIAN: Aren't you going to come with us?
REG: Solidarity, brother.
BRIAN: Oh, yes. Solidarity, Reg.

I find it interesting that my corbynite friends on social media are spending way more time attacking the Lib dems than they are the tories.

For the time being I think Labour can safely leave 'attacking the Tories' to:
a) the Nigel Farage Party and
b) the Tories

Was that who it was? Good God. Even Mrs GB, who rarely looks up from the sofa of a Sunday morning, was moved to stare at the telly and mouth "who's that ***kwit?"
Statue paranoia and condemning the gays without being man enough to say it. Imagine bellends like that running the country

Had a VERY nasty turn when I heard the name 'Tim Vince', (it was on some BBC South programme) and saw it was some uber Tory. I, *ahem*, know a guy called Tim Vince and he's an absolutely fantastic bloke. Really, really great. He's absolutely mortified that there is some asshole who shares his name.

Posted this in the brexit thread as a response but its proper home is here.
With Corbyn the problem is, is that the people who say that Corbyn is un-electable believe this because there's lots of other people saying he is un-electable.
It's a self fulfilling prophecy. But then, when you ask for specifics why he's un-electable, it's mostly because he is a Marxist (a lie) a terrorist sympathiser (a lie) an anti-Semite (a lie) and his policies will create more debt (half truth at best).
But the undoubted fact is, his and Labour policies poll well with a majority of the electorate. If you take away the lies about him, and the people who say he is un-electable vote for the polices instead of on who the leader is, a leader who by the way who has 1/650th of decision making power in the commons, he would be elected. It's a real shame a majority will not vote for their own standards of living and public services to get a unicorn Brexit which never existed and to make themselves worse off through tory polices whilst making the rich even richer.
Let us take the Labour nationalisation policies as an example. The CBI say they will increase public debt. In fact, we will be using public money to create a public ownership. As far as the balance sheet goes, we have the same amount of capital and we can reap the rewards of the profits. The public are already paying out the bum for privatisation through government subsidies.
I don’t know a single person who does not consider share holdings as part of their overall wealth, do you? And do you know what, if did go tits up, guess what? It’s a saleable asset. It’s a win win. Cannot say the same for reversing the damage of Brexit if it ever happened.
Vote Labour for real change because this country is currently the pits.

Well, I assumed (possibly wrongly, judging from your response) that you wouldn't want to lose to a man dressed as a dolphin again, given that he's the only other Brexit supporter
