[Politics] Brexit

[CHAPPERS]

So which one of the right wing rags will lead with a picture of Ball tomorrow calling him a traitor and leaking as many personal details as they can get away with?

Probably the one what pays him 270k a year.

Farmers' opposition is pretty meaningless though. Agriculture is not a big part of the UK economy and if no deal is popular with the electorate, farmers' concerns are going to be sidelined.

Besides, farmers are overwhelmingly Tory voters, there's no reason to give them special favours as they always vote Conservative. It's a bit like train commuters in the south-east, there's no reason to improve services as the government know that 90% of them will still vote Tory.

Governments are always more concerned about marginal seats and swing voters than their solid bloc of supporters (who are going to vote for them anyway).

I'm not so sure. The farmers and rural areas are turning to LibDem because they feel so disenfranchised by the Tories.

BREAKING NEWS - Boris Johnston WILL stand trial for Brexit lies.

What delicious timing. Yet another body blow for Brexit also.

How dare the judiciary decide that consistently lying to people to suit your agenda was improper way for a prospective PM to behave.
It's exactly how I'd expect any prospective PM to behave.

You make your case well and clearly. On the subject of theater lights, suppose we do eventually get brexit, why can't we source lights elsewhere or make our own? Not all countries are subject to the EU.

We could, but at the moment the withdrawal act takes on all existing EU law, depending on when we leave this one could be included, it would then need an act of parliament to be changed. It is also likely, even in a no deal situation, that the UK will mirror EU standards, we will in all probability aim for matching tariff rates too initially, to reduce the worries of smuggling at the Irish border.
What we would find hard is to create our own standards and make or have made to that, we would almost certainly adopt someone elses standard, it seems unlikely we would choose a standard that made UK theatre lamps a niche market, and if we did, the price would be high for low volume manufacture, touring acts would have to change their entire lighting rig, or just not visit the UK.

I hope all of you who voted for the Brexit party are hale and hearty or can afford health insurance.

Are they though? Not sure that you can say that from local council and EU elections. LDs have always done better in local elections than national ones and the last EU elections were a bit anomalous. The LDs may capture a seat or two in the west country but can't see them doing much in other parts of the country. For example, can't see Herbert, Soames or Ghani being kicked out in Sussex

He's doing it for the little people, they deserve better service via a private insurance based system.

 

[Gwylan]

I can't think of any reason why a man who accepts funding from a billionaire who owns insurance companies, would want to move to an insurance-based health service,

No, sirree Bob, no reason at all

That is a concern, yes and one I would wholeheartedly disagree with.

You do realise that the article is from 2015? As they say, 'a week is a long time in politics'.

No, sirree Bob, no reason at all

And this is the man people think will save them. It's very concerning.

I answered you several times.

And no doubt you'll get your reply .............

He's never retracted it and his best mate, Aaron Banks, is in the insurance business.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

I answered you several times.

They will just claim I uave not answered them again. I am used to it now.

You haven't because the options for the answer were either Yes or No - neither of which you have commited to. But frankly I couldn't give a toss about your lack of answer at the moment so will just leave you in your anti-Brexit rage rather than press you for a proper answer - i.e. yes or no.

Trying to make the best for the future, is trying to avoid a No Deal Brexit.

So, if you support racist views then you are, if you don't and still voted Brexit party then you have been tricked into supporting them and may well not be.

So it's deffo one or t'other, yes? Racist or tricked if you voted Leave?

I am open to other explanations which would make someone vote for a party lead by a racist.

How about a Party that would actually deliver the result of a democratic referendum from 2016, as was promised by Parliament.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

I am open to other explanations which would make someone vote for a party lead by a racist.

One couldn't vote Labour as they are racist against the Jews and tory as they are Islamophobic then. I think the liberals dislike leavers an awful lot, but that perhaps isn't racism.

Since when did the war cry extend to:

‘leave means leave and taking back control’

I though it was just:

'leave means leave'

What’s it going to be tomorrow?

‘leave means leave and taking back control and free haribo for everyone’
