[Politics] Brexiteer guilty

[GT49er]

You would if you read post 45!

Apparantly not, according to subsequent posts. I don't know. I don't care how he voted - simple as that; if you can't get it, fine, carry on ........................

"At the referendum I backed Remain, because I thought a major project like Brexit might be too complicated for our system to cope with. Sadly, events have rather underlined that view. Yet the vote was had, people here voted overwhelmingly to leave and it is my democratic duty to deliver on that mandate.
What is happening in Parliament is the opposite. They are trying to cancel Brexit. This is not simply undemocratic. It is nothing less than an attempt to subvert the will of the British people."

Before the referendum The Guardian and BBC had him listed as on record to be a remain voting MP,.

After the vote he was insistent that the vote outcome should be respected (even though he had been remain) and accepted,because of the instruction, that we should indeed Leave. He was 100% against those MPs that wanted the opposite of the result and wanted to scupper Brexit and who were scheming to have us remain instead.

So he is now a brexiteer then?

No idea; don't care. If he's a sex offender, he's a sex offender, whichever way he voted in the referendum.

Well yes, backed remain for the vote,accepted he was on the losing side and then backed processes to follow through with the decision to Leave.
What his pre-referendum position or post referendum position has to do with him being a horrible sex case though is beyond me.

It doesn't. But then again, there have been comments that the ES, owned by a seemingly good friend of Johnson, described a 54 year old man having been arrested for rape rather than the more sensitive '54 year old Tory former cabinet minister' etc etc.

It is not as if he was pro EU though, he just thought the process of leaving would likely go to shit. Shame he wasn't able to use the same cautious approach with women.

Parliament votes to keep MPs' arrests secret from the public - and just one member voted against

Tory Chris Grayling pushed through the new rule, arguing naming MPs under arrest breached their human rights

Don't let the facts get in the way of a bit of Brexit bashing. Its wearisome to think that we have got years of this ahead of us.

You think Brexit is going to go badly then?

No idea; don't care. If he's a sex offender, he's a sex offender, whichever way he voted in the referendum.

So a man has been convicted of sexual assault and two women have been put through a pretty nasty ordeal.

It beggars belief that some people's first thought is to check whether they voted for Brexit (and still get that bit wrong)

Remainer and former Labour MP Eric Joyce is now a convicted child molester. Already convicted for a series of violent assaults inside and outside parliament over the years.

Being a wnkr knows no party political bounds.

This thread would have been binned off to the pit in nanoseconds if someone had started it with that title ...

True but at least he never be accused of trying to screw a whole nation. Like I don’t know, leaving the biggest single market on the planet to go it alone.

It wouldn’t normally cross my mind to link a criminal conviction to unconnected views on the EU.

But on seeing Joyce convicted of yet more offences, the natural place was to post on this thread, in the interest of bizarre balance.

Just the far more insignificant act of potentially destroying a young child’s life.
