It is time these traitors were purged.

With two thirds of those in Parliament being on the remain side, it was always going to be an uphill struggle.
They will have their way.
Democracy is an illusion no more...it is dead.

Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!

So there is an emergency EU summit this evening.
Those EU Mafia dons will decide whether to allow an extension to article 50....as if that were ever in doubt seeing as we are being shafted for £1 billion a month for the privilege of being insulted, humiliated and made a laughing stock of.

Macron has said he wants the Uk to remain until at least December....that there will be 'good behaviour' checks every three months. He has also said he wants to humiliate our PM....I think it is he who needs a behaviour check. It isn't like he hasn't got enough on his plate with the 'yellow vests'....five months of civil unrest says a lot about his leadership skills.

All this because of Cooper and Letwin....all (of course) supported by our spineless, gutless representatives and the old duffers in the upper chamber.

You could not make it up!

Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!

no...can't say I ever found them funny...there was always the thought in my mind that that is what really happens and now(I am sorry to say) it seems like I was right.

This all feels very manufactured. a bit pre-ordained...scripted even.
The fact that money was put aside in 2018 for the election of MEP's stinks of fish...after all we should have been out by now and would have no need of these pointless elections.

Our PM dashing off to Berlin to get more instructions from the ones who are pulling the strings(Germany....but letting France think it is doing the ordering about...that's a woman for you. Letting a weak man THINK he is in charge...and Macron is a weak man or he would be in control of what is going wrong in his own country)

I really DO despair.

I think that our parliament is holding back on an agreement on Brexit until after we have elected more pigs to the trough in the Euro parliament. That way their mates can have another few grand to top up their already unearned inflated pension.
I for one won’t be voting for any of them.

Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!

I won't either.
It is a pointless exercise...even if you are in favour of the EU....our votes make no difference...we are only allocated 8% voting power...very puny for a country that contributes so much.

I am currently considering my stance on voting in general....seeing as my vote counts for nothing....and yet maybe that is what the political classes would like....for us NOT to vote....they believe we are too thick to understand politics anyway.

Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!

Gremlin, Margaret, that’s EXACTLY the response the Metroplitan Establishment wants.
For good people to do nothing, whilst they stuff their bank accounts and egos and laugh at our expense.
I won’t be voting at my next (Borough) election because there are only 3 identikit parties that I will never vote for again.
But, come any Eurine election or a general election where there is a pro-Brexit choice, they will get my vote.

Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!

Yes Exile...I understand that....and that is why I am seriously considering the way forward.

I will only vote for the politicians that can give me answers....and I will not vote for the main parties again....but what do you do if there is no candidate that puts up.for a different political party....one which would support those of us who feel politically betrayed and disenfranchised.

I know that the metropolitan establishment expect that kind of reaction.

There is a Kantar poll published today which gives the state of the political parties....telling us that Liebour is nine points ahead of the Conservative party....but these polls mean very little especially as this particular one gives no information about when it was conducted and the number of participants....that people take notice of these surprises me(and yet it doesn't really...it is just meaningless newspaper inches).

If there is a pro brexit choice they will also get my vote, as long as they can convince me they are being truthful. Other wise its a No vote.

What we need is a None of the Above Party..... Apparently it costs £500 to stand in an election....

Well, it looks like the Brexit date is now Oct 31st with a review in June.... although if the Withdrawal Deal and Political Declaration is agree at any time then we would be out.
