That is a list of Bills before Parliament, not quite the same thing as Brexit impacting, or not, appropriate and satisfactory Government.
In addition I wonder how many of those are Government Bills unrelated to Brexit, rather then Private Members Bills or Government Bills related to Brexit. Do you have a handy list for those?

and leaving together , deal or no deal ............. get a grip !Sorry, I'm not talking about immigrants with a rabid, right-winger like you. Talk to a like-minded leave voting friend such as PpF instead.
You can be subject to a benefit sanction if you haven't logged on your Universal Job-match account on a given day for example or applied for a sufficient number of jobs as per your job seekers 'agreement'- big brother watches everything now and they'll hit the most vulnerable for the most spurious of reasons to triumphantly hail how the number of benefit claimants is going down - the wonder of Duncan-Smithism. They're also doing this with capability assessments for PIP and ESA, but that's another discussion entirely. Someone with a mental health issue for example who has their ESA or PIP stopped due to being 'fit for work' is at real risk of falling down the fast track to being on the street, as many already are.
Still, we're all in it together.

This is meaningless on its own. How many were put before Parliament is one thing but how many were many were adjourned/postponed for future discussion (aka kicked into the long grass)? And how many will get passed ? Just looking at some of the topics you just know nothing has been meaningfully discussed. Legalising cannabis? Yeah, right.
They may have been raised in Parliament but I doubt many of them have been discussed to any degree of seriousness. Not to mention the fact that a significant number of those issues are related to EU matters/issues. You'd have to be a fool to pretend Brexit isn't the primary and all consuming issue in Parliament for our government at the moment. At the detriment of other matters. Policing for example. I'm still looking of rthe video of the man saying Theresa May has blood on her hands, anyone know it? was on the BBC a few days ago but is basically impossible to find now.
Quite. Does anyone seriously think, for example, David Davis has enough time to negotiate Brexit, dine with Paul Dacre, defend his sex-case colleagues AND sit through bill readings. There’s only 24 hours in a day.
Ah, former metropolitan police investigator. This is the one I was looking for.

Many of those bills are also private members or opposition day bills which the Government basically ignores.
That 'utter numpty' would be Parliament itself
The very organisation remainers are oh so desperately hoping will reverse Brexit ..... which it won't.

Yes Parliament, not Government.
You would hope that Brexit folk who keep harping on about getting our country back would actually understand how our country works, and appreciate that just because Parliament is functioning doesn't necessarily mean we have a functioning Government.
You couldn’t make this up could you.

Exactly, Parliament NOT the government and I meant what numpty put that list forward as an argument that the government isn't being preoccupied with Brexit at the cost of other issues because a lot of those issues on that list refer to Brexit. It's a shit list to make a shit point.

It means basically a smug little England **** like you has no idea how the real world works.
Ah the usual reverting to (drunken?) abuse gambit. Says the wannabee class warrior who thinks the Home secretary lusts after him ... real world indeed
Well why dont you tell us precisely what isnt currently being dealt with by this government that should be due to Brexit, you asked the question he gave you a list, what is it then ?

As you know they are not opposing points at all. Not every person votes for every policy in a manifesto but many do vote for specific policies or the general platform each party sets out to govern. Brexit was front and centre in the GE campaign to suggest over 80% voting for parties committed to delivering Brexit isn't relevant or doesn't give a further democratic mandate takes your undemoratc loon credentials to a whole new level.

It is all a bit mind blowing really.
It’s also ironic on another level isn’t it? Not only have they voted to get something back (which we never lost), which they don’t understand, in addition they use the example of Parliament discussing over 200 bills in six months whilst at the same time saying we aren’t able to do anything because of EU regulation!
Jeeez, you're spinning out of control, any danger of telling me what isnt being done, apart from re-nationalising everything of course ??
