[Politics] Brexit

[clapham_gull]

Even remainers should set aside their loyalties and be annoyed at that.

Someone else telling everyone else how to think.

Of course I am. Usually I'm all for give-and-take but I see no room for serious compromise on Brexit. Sliding out of the EU on the back of a compromise soft-deal would be wishy-washy worst-of-all-worlds. Yes, we would have technically left but we would have reduced ourselves to what a well-known supporter of such a deal described as a vassal state. Such an end product is most likely if Rory Stewart or even Michael Gove take over. I'd rather see one of the hard Brexit ultras ascend to the throne and start waving the No Deal flag - it would bring matters to a head and almost certainly lead to a GE or second referendum.

Indeed and I suspect the Tories will go for a hardliner which will more than likely backfire. Rory I think could bring the country together, albeit with a huge fudge and he does appeal to non Tory voters

Gove has laid low for a long time, just got a feeling he will emerge as the front runner.

I agree. If I were having a punt, that's where my money would go.

In my view, this is summarises where we are now....

What was it someone said on the other thread, oh yeah

As usual, a tired old has been of a celebrity, trying to get noticed.
Why don't they just fade away watching reruns on You Tube with his box of tissues.

and... the freddie mercury film was way better than his

All a matter of opinion then... in this case anyone who takes a contrary view is always a 'has been' to rabid leavers.

 

[Lever]

He may or may not be that, but anyone saying he said it just for publicity is certainly an idiot.

.... but what else can a Leave Supporter say to register their irritation?

 

[The Clamp]

Leavers get so incensed when someone voices support for Remain or a second referendum.
The facts are the referendum was three years ago. It’s obsolete. Nobody but the most stubborn fools want to leave anymore.

Still a slim majority for leave as proved by last weeks euro elections, only the most stubborn of fools can't see that ... and it's one thing to voice support for remain or 2ref, which I respect but don't agree with, but to call millions of your fellow citizens stupid, imperialist English idiots is quite another.... lesson for Reg, stick to playing your piano.

If he said that millions of his fellow citizens are stupid, imperialist idiots that would be foolish talk.

As far as I can tell he he simply said:
“I’m sick to death of politicians, especially British politicians. I am sick to death of Brexit. I am a European. I am not a stupid, colonial, imperialist, English idiot.”

In other words, he implied that stupid, colonial, imperialist English idiots are a significant aspect of the the Leave lobby.

No doubt colonial, imperialist English faction voted for Brexit, so I can't disagree with him on that. They would simply deny they were stupid idiots........

I think millions of my fellow citizens are stupid imperialist idiots. Am I allowed to say that?

Not quite sure how the slim majority for leave is arrived at either.

Simply untrue. Remain got the the majority.

I think he is making a lot of assumptions ,in fact he is guessing.

Yeah I know, and you forgot to mention that we in fact won the FA cup final and Murray scored a hat trick.
