I once had business dealings with John Crumplin. He was a delightful person; quiet, thoughtful, bright and unassuming. The most inappropriate and 'hilarious' username on this board is therefore perhaps yours. Perhaps you could come up with something involving Florian Andone or Robert Codner?
Negative attitudes towards us leaving the EU have been clear for some time. I was simply pointing that out.
But on 23 June 2016 the Leave vote was greater than the Remain one. I pointed that out too.
(Given that noting poll findings is apparently the preserve of undemocratic loons I am...
The polling company Britain Thinks has followed changing attitudes since 2016. Thirteen percent of Leave voters now wish they had voted differently. The proportion of all voters who describe themselves as die- hard leavers optimistic for the future is down to 25 percent.
This receding tribe...
We hope to see a Europe where men of every country will think as much of being a European as of belonging to their native land, and that without losing any part of their love and loyalty to their birthplace. We hope that wherever they go in this wide domain, to we set no limit in the European...
GIven that no international trade agreement in the history of international trade agreements has not been circumscribed by ‘politics’ it is actually a completely meaningless point.
Well I suppose as almost every poll for the past three years or so has shown a majority wishing the 2016 vote had gone the other way that's no bad thing
Shouting in one direction or the other isn't necessarily a sign of virility. If Johnson gets his deal I hope that Starmer has the strength of purpose not to support it. The likely deal will be bad for Britain so let this rabble of a governing clique own it.
Asking people why they voted Leave (as the Ashcroft poll did) is a bit pointless because most will give a 'respectable' reason. (Someone I know told me a couple of weeks ago that she wouldn't vote Labour because that Kier Starmer's eyes are too close together but I doubt she'd say that to a...
And of course the little gang of chancers running our country reinforce the lie by continually referring to our sovereignty as though it was some new construction.
Pasta once explained that he, and everyone he knew, voted Leave on the issue of sovereignty. That was their thing. Therefore, if the UK gains a slightly more defined version of sovereignty - nothing like the 19th century version obviously, or even the one of sixty years ago, but something like...
Point taken - you're worried about the UK being exposed to pressures, in spite of it having demonstrated its ability to resist those pressures (even when they concern such monumental subjects as Schengen and the Euro).
Some of us had more confidence in the strength of our nation.
Utterly wacky. It's almost like you don't read the posts you respond to. Nowhere did I deny that there would be pressure to adopt a common position or pretend that such things don't happen. My point was that as a sovereign nation the UK would, as a member of the EU, have been able to resist such...
Actually in spite of Alok Sharma's poundshop Trumpery it's more of an American flag with black, red and gold highlights and a crescent and star in one corner.
