Standard response to that should include :

1. Brexit won, get over it (but let's rub it in for the millionth time)
2. You're a remoaner
3. Britain will be stronger
4. Insert ROFLs

So nothing to comment on my post other than the standard playground retort of 'yah boo'?

Brilliant.

Never mind our dear own president, I wonder how you feel if Jeremy Corbyn had pulled the exact same move as Johnson has done?

First, getting the job of PM through the back door. Second, suspending parliament to force through his version of Brexit.

You would be absolutely livid. And rightly so.

Does anyone seriously dispute that Boris and the tories would come out on top in the case of an election?

Given the way May cocked up Brexit and given the referendum and everything else that has happened inbetween, I can honestly say that if Corbyn ended up getting in via the back door after some other labour git screwed everything up, and labour was indeed the majority party, I'd be okay with Corbyn putting through whatever warped vision of Brexit he had in his head just so long as he was sincerely carrying out what he believed was his mandate from the referendum.

Unless I actually thought his terms would start a shooting war. But then I think I'd stop being a fan of Boris' plans at that same point.

Spizz, if you're gonna post in N&CA you need to pay more attention as to the "political" factions so that you don't end up blasting your own teammates.

Central planning does not work.

As for jobs, UK wages are rising faster than ever because European migrants are leaving.

UK wages rise at fastest rate for a decade despite Brexit risks

British workers’ pay rose 3.9% over last three months in sharp contrast to slowing economy

Good to know. Let's hope it continues because the minimum wage is heavily susidised by government tax credits for millions. Tax payers already susidise billions a year to top up low wages.

Think you've missed my point there. I'm saying you should expect the usual "yah boos" from the playground.

I don't really have a side other than Scottish independence. But if the UK leaves the EU, then so be it. Just do it properly.

The only thing I hate more than a snot nosed chinless wonder Tory is Jeremy Corbyn.

I'd really love to give David Cameron a kick in the balls.

Well, I don't really have a positive image of Corbyn. But I think his divisiveness has some upsides.

Haha, wrt Porky Pig, I think we're on the same page. :laugh:
 
As much as I am against Brexit, I almost think that the UK - both the public and the politicians - fully deserve what is coming. No deal Brexit is going to happen, its going to cause major issues, possibly another recession, and maybe even trigger Scotland and Northern Ireland leaving the UK. It might happen.

Then everyone will wail and gnash their teeth at what happened, but it will be too late. "If only I'd known" will be something you hear often.

The politicians, because they were too spineless, indecisive, and too interested in their own political careers to stop this. They had two years to do something about it. They had May's deal - they should have realised what would happen if they continued to reject it, without being able to agree on a way to stop Brexit altogether. Nobody took it seriously, and it took someone as cunning as Johnson and Cummings obviously are to show them whose boss. I don't like Johnson and I don't like what he did, but you have to admire him in a way - he made a decision and has showed a bit of spine, as much as I disagree with what he has done. He showed all of the politicians to be fools and is now forcing them to actually do something instead of kick the can down the road. And even with this, Johnson will probably get his way because nobody can actually agree on what to do about Brexit. Because they are too f**king spineless to make up their minds and Corbyn is too interested in his own career to do what is right. Swinson doesn't even want Corbyn as temporary PM to avoid a catastrophe for reasons unknown to science, so everyone is at fault.

The public because they believed lies peddled by the powers that be in collusion with the Russians, and still believe these lies today. Maybe they will start to question them after no deal Brexit happens and s**t hits the fan.

His divisiveness is largely down to his terrorist loving activities. Many will never forgive him, including me.

I was referring more to his stance on Israel, that he's apparently a terrorist lover is news to me.

So long as they implement free market policies, they will be fine. From what I can see, the WTO rules that they are wanting should be fine.

Good, Labour would never win another election without the Scots.

:rolleyes:
Just like the Russians colluded with Trump to win the US elections?

There have been three elections on this. One before the referendum, the referendum and one after the referendum. All three supported people who wanted to leave the EU. Spewing muh Russians is pretty pathetic.

Not being funny, but I would have thought you supported his anti Israel, pro Hamas stance? But yes, he's a well known apologist for the IRA as well as a range of Islamic revolutionaries (including Black September). his anti Western stance is well reported.

Excuse the OT.

A lot of fence-sitting conservatives would probably move over to Labour if Corbyn wasn't in charge.

I believe that his stance on this issue is part of what makes him divisive, and I see a positive in his divisiveness in that respect. Nevertheless, I just have a feeling that there's something off about Corbyn. I go with my instinct on these things.

Well, I guess I'm more sympathetic to the IRA than you might be. But I was rooting for Scottish independence from the UK back when they had their referendum, and thought the Scots were blooming idiots for not voting for it. In retrospect I think they would agree with me, given Brexit.

Irish unity is one thing. Blowing up people indiscriminately is quite another. I despise the IRA with every fibre of my body for reasons not relevant here. Suffice to say, I abhor terrorism of any kind.

But to keep it on topic, they have not gone away and following recent rumblings, they will be back with a vengeance depending on how the backstop issue turns out.

You think its good that the Union would end up being only England and Wales? No Scotland or Ireland? You really think thats a good thing?

You can thank May for any chaos that ensues, it is under her direction after all that nobody ever prepared for a no deal scenario while the clock ran out.

I think May made sure it's going to be a looooong while before the UK warms to the idea of female prime minister no. 3.
