[Politics] Brexit

[Trufflehound]

Since we are off topic, can I just point out that anyone who uses the term 'cool' in this context is most definitely not 'cool'?

And yes, that does include me.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I will have (B) + (C).

You want 'No deal' AND an 'Amended Withdrawal Agreement'?

Pin sharp, as ever 2P.

Wicked!

 

[Simster]

Posters needs an '

Controversial, but surely depends on whether the ' is shorthand for "apostrophe" or "single quotation mark" or some such. Poor quality nitpicking there Trig, not up to your usual standards.

Well no, losing is not cool.

 

[WATFORD zero]

So I just looked to see what mature well thought out views on Brexit our resident leaver fans have put together with while I was out for the morning

But you flip flop from one scenario to another and then give yourself a pat on the back as if you called it right, your bit of an odd bod, half supply teacher, half George Soros and half self acclaimed Mystic Meg, it's all a bit unnerving ......

BigGully calling me one and a half men (not sure if it's meant to be an insult or compliment)

Look on the bright side, I could get you on a programme that might get you a bird ........

Then trying to find work as a pimp

I know you bore the pants off of most people

At last, he gets onto a subject in which he is eminently qualified

Thank you, but at least I have got picked for a sports team whereas you have never ever, and that always trump you and make you rather nerdy ...

Bit left field, even by his standards

I am outta here .......

As in the words of Tom Hardy in the film Legends, 'I come ere for a f***ing shoot out, a proper shoot out, with some proper men, like colonel Custer, Jeronimo and I end up with @HerrTubthumper, @Thunderbolt, [MENTION=396]WATFORD zero[/MENTION]'

A at 10.15

you left Tideway to go to Lewes grammar, which has indeed helped your liking of apostrophes but equally ramped up the nerdy side

Followed by a return 30 mins later

Yep, you're right bye bye

Another 10 mins later

You're a middling nerd but perhaps saveable ....

Football 'cool', not first pick 'nerd'
.................. ...

That lasts less than 10 mins this time.

I'm really beginning to miss pastafarian's whataboutism drivel at this rate. It must be time for a change of shift

*edit* Welcome back

A slight different approach

John Redwood
Mr Owen Paterson
Priti Patel
Mr Mark Francois
Mr Steve BakerMr Marcus Fysh
That this House respects the will of the people of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland as expressed in the referendum of 23 June 2016, on the highest turnout of the electorate for more than 20 years, after this House had passed the Bill leading to the European Union Referendum Act 2015 on 7 September 2015 by 326 votes to 53; recalls that this House authorised the Prime Minister to give notice of the UK’s intention to withdraw from the European Union under Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union by passing the Bill leading to the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Act 2017 on 8 February 2017 by 494 votes to 122; re-affirms the decision to repeal the European Communities Act 1972 on exit day which this House took by passing the Bill leading to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 on 17 January 2018 by 324 votes to 295; decides once again not to approve the Withdrawal Agreement and the Framework for the Future Relationship between the UK and the EU which were rejected by this House on 15 January 2019 by 432 votes to 202 and again on 12 March 2019 by 391 to 242; believes that manipulating standing orders to give precedence over Government business to backbench attempts to legislate on matters of such fundamental importance is unparliamentary and tends to the destruction of constitutional and accountable government; and, notwithstanding the Resolution of the House of 25 March, accordingly makes the following Standing Order-
‘That the following be a Standing Order of the House (Entrenchment of constitutional and accountable government):
(1) This Standing Order may not be amended, repealed, suspended, disapplied or varied in its effect unless a motion to do so is passed without a division, or, if the motion is passed on a division, the number of members who vote in favour of the motion to do so is equal to or greater than two thirds of the number of seats in the House (including vacant seats).
(2) No Order may be made to amend, repeal, suspend, disapply or vary the effect of paragraph (1) of Standing Order No. 14(Arrangement of public business) which provides for Government business to have precedence at every sitting subject to the exceptions for Opposition days, backbench business and Private Members’ Bills in the terms set out in that Standing Order.’

(a) accede to the European Free Trade Association (Efta) having negotiated a derogation from Article 56(3) of the Efta Agreement to allow UK participation in a comprehensive customs arrangement with the European Union,
(b) enter the Efta Pillar of the European Economic Area and thereby render operational the United Kingdom’s continuing status as a party to the European Economic Area Agreement and continuing participation in the Single Market,

That this House recalls that this sovereign Parliament gave the choice about whether the UK should remain in, or leave, the European Union to the British people in the 2016 referendum, and that in the 2017 election 85 per cent of votes were cast for political parties which committed to abiding by that decision in their manifestos, and therefore reaffirms its commitment to honour the result of the referendum that the UK should leave the European Union.

[The Clamp]

You want 'No deal' AND an 'Amended Withdrawal Agreement'?

Pin sharp, as ever 2P.

I think of him as two professors arguing with each other over whether to let the mould grow or throw the Petri dish away because it’s dirty.

 

[Triggaaar]

Controversial, but surely depends on whether the ' is shorthand for "apostrophe" or "single quotation mark" or some such.

Sure, but in the example HT was correcting, it was shorthand for apostrophe.

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

I find Big Gully far more entertaining. Pasta is just inappropriately rude to everyone who disagrees with him, regardless of whether they make coherent points or not. It's boring. However, I can never tire of Big Gully's unerring inability to hide his limited intellect and failure to see what a massive simpleton he is. It is absolutely hilarious - he doesn't even realise when he's being absolutely owned. He's like a political Alan Partridge.

I've noticed a bit of a pattern with Brexiteer posters: they arrive in single, serial form and post a terrific volume, take on all-comers and then must collapse, exhausted. Then the next one comes into bat. I think there's a kind of relay system going on. But I'm with you on the Big Gully issue; far more fun than our Pasta, although it must be said that the bar is a bit low on this one.

 

[Mellotron]

I will have (B) + (C),plus a side order of egg fried rice,and chinese curry sauce.

Genuine question - in the event of No Deal Brexit, a number of British people living in the EU will lose their NHS benefits overnight, in some instances (e.g. Cancer patients, other severe/potentially terminal conditions) losing access to vital, life-saving medicine. Are you genuinely in support of a motion that will likely lead to the death of innocent Brits?

Please try to answer the question rather than "Whataboutery". I'm asking whether you support something that will probably lead to the death of innocent people.

 

[Mellotron]

Since we are off topic, can I just point out that anyone who uses the term 'cool' in this context is most definitely not 'cool'?

And yes, that does include me.

This whole discussion is the least cool thing I've ever witnessed.

And now I'm part of it.

 

[nicko31]

Yes confused as ever

All down to the speaker which ones get chosen. Some silly ones in there from the leave side...

BigGully calling me one and a half men (not sure if it's meant to be an insult or compliment)

I missed that but that is absolutely textbook laughing-stock BigGully. He is just so thick!

 

[WATFORD zero]

Still bitter after I exposed you as a massive idiot last week it seems. You know, the time after you wrongly pulled up TLO for using the term "Kemp Town", I light-heartedly pointed out that for him to do so was perfectly reasonable and you consequently threw your toys out of your pram.

You'd think an estate agent ought to have knowledge of a local area but even for an estate agent you're too uneducated to even know what ought to be your own business. Remind me which estate agent you work for again so that I don't inadvertently find myself using your obviously crap outfit.

I bet he's got a nice suit though.

(If you like undersized shiny suits) , and probably a nice Ford Ka in subtle colours

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

But I'm with you on the Big Gully issue; far more fun than our Pasta, although it must be said that the bar is a bit low on this one.

You say that. But it’s amusing to turn [MENTION=21401]pastafarian[/MENTION]’s head beetroot with anger and rage; you can almost hear him hammering the keyboard in reply as his heart rate goes off the dial. And it’s so quick and easy (and fun) to do. To be fair to [MENTION=5101]BigGully[/MENTION] he generally keeps his calm.

 

[LadySeagull]

The bullying of leave voters on this thread is embarrassing. Are you all serious? Sniggering among yourselves and singling people out, is not big or clever.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion and a vote, and not to be castigated and bullied on a forum due to it.

It's just Politics, not a matter of life and death like football after all...we are all on the forum for a common purpose and this isn't it.

 

[Simster]

I bet he's got a nice suit though.

(If you like undersized shiny suits) , and probably a nice Ford Ka in subtle colours

He probably also says "yourself" on the phone when he means "you". As in "We can certainly do that for yourself". A dreadful linguistic error favoured by uneducated office-bound prats.

 

[Mellotron]

It's just Politics, not a matter of life and death like football after all...we are all on the forum for a common purpose and this isn't it.

Actually, No Deal Brexit would probably lead to innocent deaths due to NHS funding for vital medicines being pulled overnight. This is the whole point. For nearly 3 ****ing years people have been trying to spell out the dangers. At some point you have to accept at least some of Project Fear just might be Project Reality.

Anyone who can genuinely support No Deal Brexit in the full knowledge that it will likely lead to innocent lives being lost - well I'm not sure I have words for people like that.

 

[hans kraay fan club]
