They did not want to return to the job running the country....they wanted to let Brussels do the work....that way they always had someone to blame if the electorate did not like the rules.

Apologies if i’ve mentioned this afore now but we have a very smart German friend (a police inspector who now lectures police students) and she said it’s exactly the same in her country.
Despite what the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation spew out, not all Germans think the EU is so wonderful. And whenever it decides something that is not liked in Germany, their politicos come out with the old rubbish about it not being them, it’s the EU and ve hav to obey!

Yes Monkey Hanger, they have their eyes set firmly on the trough.

I think the delaying tactics are contrived to breed apathy.....to foster a desire to just get it over and vote for whatever sorts out the political paralysis.
They had not factored in the pure anger of those who believed we would be out by now....and they STILL do not get it.
The only way this is going to get settled is with a general election....and those remainer MP's given the boot.
Even in that situation they will not be leaving Parliament poor.

Now then be careful, we mustn't mention German (or in fact French people or indeed any individual crushed into the lame dog of the EU), that might have individual thought, they will be the first against the wall when Brussels has finished destroying us.

I don't think we need to be careful Less.
It is good to know that there are people in the other EU countries who are not just disillusioned by the shenanigans, but would also like out too.

Those over here who are trying to brainwash us into thinking that the EU is the best thing since sliced bread would have us believe that all is hunkydory over the channel.
So it is good to hear otherwise

totally agree cashy. its back to the TV licence debate again where the media especially the BBC are good at their pick and mix news to suit their agendas. if these people you know where actually on one of their documentatry programmes about the EU their views would be twisted and they would be made out to look idiots against those who are happy with the institution.

With Boris, it is a case of suck it and see.
He has an uphill struggle....mainly because there are so many treacherous snakes in Parliament....all intent on thwarting the will of the people.

I think they are drawing things out for as long as possible to make the voters get fed up.....to get them to change their minds.
I have not changed mine....OUT....OUT.....OUT.

If Boris does not deliver (or he tries to deliver something that means we leave in name only) then the party will be toast.

i hope he makes his cabinet all Leavers.....even then it is going to be tough.

I have little faith in Boris Johnson. He didn’t decide to back Leave until the last seconds.
But, like Margaret suggests, if he fouls up or simply let’s things drag on and on his party will be electoral dust as and when an election is called.
The few Tory members know that. It’s just the majority of their super-annuated MPs that haven’t woken up.

I am beginning to wonder if they are in a medically induced coma.


The likes of Philip Hammond, David Gaulke and Rory Stewart seem to have Kamikaze ideals.....nothing aligned to the democratic vote.


I just hope that Boris Johnson doesn't think he can feed us the same pap we have been fed before.....you know the stuff....'this is a good deal'.....The withdrawal agreement needs settting fire to...it will never be acceptable in any shape or form.


I did read that some of the EU members were cosying up to the new PM...but he needs to know that he will not be able to sneak a psuedo arrangement past the people...too many politicians who do not like him(or trust him) will squeal like stuck pigs.


He has only a relatively short time to make some decisive moves...and we are watching.

It isn't that I don't like him.....I just wonder if he is up to this task....also, I am sure I am not alone in my distrust of what politicians tell me.

The three stooges were saying some stuff about Boris as PM.....which three stooges I hear you ask?
Blair, Brown, and Major...so maybe the fact that they don't like him, might be a stunning endorsement.
After all...Blair is a bigger liar than Tom Pepper...Brown sold our gold reserves at knockdown prices(the only good thing he did was keep us out of the Euro)....and Johm Major was the man who signed away our sovereignty at Maastricht...and his was the government in power on Black Wednesday....so they are no advert for sensible, believable politics are they?

There have always been huge fluctuations in climate...long before we all emerged from the swamp.

These people have been brainwashed by flawed science....and some of it has been skewed by the scientists carrying out the 'research'.
It is a fine way to dip into our pockets...to create a sort of fear.....and that allows the elite to exert a sort of control over the masses.


It makes me laugh when I see that there are moves to get rid is petrol driven vehicles.....and replace them with electric versions.
Can you imagine commuters coming home after a long day at work and plugging in their cars, electric bikes....turning on the electric cooker to cook tea, the electric boiler to have a shower??
The National grid will go into meltdown.

Unless of course the government are going to make a vast drive to fit ALL buildings with photo-voltaic panels to generate power....but can you see it happening?

Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!
 
This is an epic of a thread wander.
So I am going to try to get Back on topic.

I am glad that Boris has said there will be NO discussion unless the hated backstop is removed.
The crew over in Brussels are still saying that the backstop CANNOT be changed.....so it is looking like the WA agreement will not be ratified.

JRM was saying that the only way out of the impasse is for those Tories who have thwarted Brexit so far, should table a motion to revoke article 50.
He says that this will not happen for two reasons.....it would fail to get the votes and those Tories who do not want to leave do not have the guts to do this.

The only other way is to bring a vote of 'no confidence' and bring down the government.
Right now I do not know how that would go down.
On the first day of his premiership the mood in Parliament seemed to have lightened considerably....with an air of optimism that has been absent for the last three years.

I really, really, DO hope that Boris succeeds in getting us out....not with a rehashed version of the TM withdrawal agreement....but with something better...but failing that, leave by default...which is what we should already have done.
No extensions....these cost us £1billiom quid each month we stay captured....so it is lucrative for Brussels to give us yet more extensions.

I want to be OUT....right OUT!

Margaret Pilkington 27-07-2019 16:04

Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!
 
And suddenly those in Brussels are getting a bit twitchy.
They know that they are not dealing with an apologetic appeasing Prime Minister who wants to please both leavers and remainers....they are dealing with someone who might just call their bluff.....and keep £39 billion quid settlement money.
Germany is on the brink of a full blown recession, France is similarly financially strapped.
So who is going to make up the balance of the UK contributions when we leave.

Another bit of news(from a source that seems to have its' nose put out of joint by Boris being PM....once a leaver publication, but now a remainer).
Boris has been up in Manchester promising to find money for better inter city transport links....this news media calls this a 'bribe'....nothing of the sort, it is a long awaited recognition that these links are long overdue.
Maybe it will be funded from the money we do not pay to Brussels as a Leaving charge.

There are some that say we must pay this money.....as it is part of money we agreed to pay for the pensions of those like JCJ and MB.
What about the assets that the U.K. Have funded, buildings....let them take the money out of our joint assets.

I hate this use of biased language....it is like when the media say 'crashing out'.....meaning leaving by default.
I can see through it, but there are some that will swallow this

Margaret Pilkington 27-07-2019 17:45

Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!
 
Apparently Cashy, we agreed to pay a very large sum towards the pensions of those who work for the EU...and because this was agreed, it appears that we are duty bound to pay it.
Though just how it would be enforced I am not sure(but it involves convoluted international law).
It is said that if we renege on this payment then other countries that we might wish to trade with would not trust us to be good to our word.
Personally I would like to tell the EU to 'Get stood on' (a more diplomatic phrase for foxtrot oscar ...and I do not mean foreign office) they can pay for their own bloody pensions.
As I said, there must be common property in the EU that we have paid towards...money that we can never get back...let them take it out of that.

I do Hope that Boris hold his nerve....and fails to cave in under the stony stares of the barstewards over there.

Notwithstanding that Treason May’s ‘deal’ is no such thing, it’s a treaty with the ‘deal’ yet to be agreed, and has been voted down three times by MPs, it’s simply about over-turning the referendum result.

We vote on what they promise in their manifesto(even those of us who have lived a long time and know that these people will say and do ANYTHING to get our cross in their box....and know that they will ultimately betray us)....that THEY DO NOT HONOUR THEIR PROMISE....is not down to us.

We have to vote for someone....if we don't,then we may find that our vote is taken from us.

Though, that said it is very disappointing to have your high hopes of a representative who,promised much and delivered nothing, voted back despite his poor parliamentary voting record(regardless of his protestations)....I voted for him once...but never again.

A pox on the EU.
I hope I live long enough to see it fold in a spectacular manner.

think there are plenty of remainers out there would love to see the united states of europe happening sooner rather than later plus all of europe having the euro. younger the person more likely to hear that view. mind you they have been brain washed since leaving the womb where any love for your country is seen as some reactionary thought.

Though, that said it is very disappointing to have your high hopes of a representative who,promised much and delivered nothing, voted back despite his poor parliamentary voting record(regardless of his protestations)....I voted for him once...but never again.
If someone does not follow through on their promise then I am done.....no second chance, no second glance.

And that is why the voters need their arse kicked because even though his record shows him to be as much use as a wet fart the daft sods keep voting him and others like him back in.

That is because they do not use the thinking part of their brain to vote. Less...they would vote for a donkey if it was wearing a Labour rosette...in fact thinking about it a Donkey would probably be of more use than our current representative.

Our current MP has had his head turned and is not in it for the borough, but for his back pocket.
Even if he was kicked out tomorrow he would e OK..he has networked...made contacts...so he has irons in the fire.

I would never vote for him again, but even then that I would vote for someone else has no guarantees of success...you do not know how an MP is going to treat the constituents until they are in post...and by then it is too late.

That has never been my way of voting.
I have NO party political allegiances.
I try to find out about local candidates.....but also if the party does not support the things I think are important then I will look for an alternative....frequently there isn't one so in that case I would scribble 'none of the above ' on my paper.

thats something that always gets me is holidays. when they talk about holidays they should say holidays abroad. another modern day asumption is that we all go abroad and the exchange rate is on our minds for months and months. funny also as they only mention the exchange rate being good for our exporters right at the end of these reports.

Pelosi just announced "Whatever form it takes, Brexit cannot be allowed to imperil the Good Friday Agreement, including the seamless border between the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland,"... ruling out a UK/US deal with a hard Brexit.
So with Europe and US markets out of reach and a pound expected to lose another 10% against the Dollar by October who are you going to trade with, China?

Where are you getting these predictions from?
There have been a lot of people predicting things that have not happened.....and these have been people who were supposedly 'in the know' like the governor of the BOE.....the CBI.
This has been done with the prime intention of talking down the UK....and with it Sterling.
It has been done by people who never wanted to Leave the EU because those people have vested interests in maintaining the status quo....in allowing Brussels to dictate our laws....they want us to be absorbed into the EUSS. They want to take our money, they want to impose freedom of movement, they want to skew trading conditions(like paying our farmers not to cultivate fields so that they can sell produce from other EU states to us) they have no interest in doing what is best for us.
The EU is a failed bit of socio-political engineering.

For a bit of light reading why don't you look up the document FCO30/1048 and see how our politicians bamboozled us all those years ago....and how they KNEW exactly what they were leading us into....and did it gladly, but covertly.

NONE of this affects YOUR daily life.

The Irish backstop was a way that the EU would guarantee that we would never be able to free ourselves from its clutches.


No one can predict with any kind of accuracy what is going to happen.....so it is best not to take a great deal of notice of these prognostications..

And your question is NOT a serious one, it is one that is loaded with contentious Bovine excrement. Sneering and snidey into the bargain

All she wants to do is ensure those Irish-American voters stay on side.....she forgets that the IRA was funded by money from her side of the pond....from those Irish Americans that she says now want to protect the Peace that was brought about by the GFA.

This multimillionaire lives in San Francisco in a gated and walled community while preaching "Open Borders" for everyone else. As Speaker of the House of Representatives she is third in line of succession to executive power behind the President and the Vice President.

My understanding of the political system of the US is very rudimentary...but I am always suspicious of those who preach one thing whilst expecting their electors to do the opposite.
I think from what I have read, she has reached her level of incompetence...and her meddling in the affairs that affect the UK is unwanted...we have enough of our own grown snakes(Ken Clarke, Philip Hammond, Dominic Grieve Goto Bebb all spring immediately to mind) here without her adding to the pot.

Looks like The Washington Post agrees with you, Joe.
Below an extract from its website:

“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has directed nearly $100,000 from her political action committee to her husband’s real estate and investment firm over the past decade, a practice of paying a spouse with political donations that she supported banning last year.
Financial Leasing Services Inc. (FLS), owned by Paul F. Pelosi, has received $99,000 in rent, utilities and accounting fees...The payments have quadrupled since Mr. Pelosi took over as treasurer of his wife’s committee in 2007...”

This just underscores the fact that the politicians are in it to feather their own nests...to look after their own interests.
No politician comes out of politics poorer.
All of them, regardless of the flag they travel under, seem to have a sense of entitlement....they feel elevated above those who put them into the political arena.
It looks like it might be the same the whole world over....and if they think they can get away with it...then they will.

Everything is the fault of Brexit....none of the blame lands at the feet of the useless politicians who have done everything in their power to divert the democratic process.....and all because they are looking after their own ends...fulfilling their own agenda.
Our politicians have forgotten how to govern(or be part of a useful opposition).
They want to sit in that talking shop that is the Palace of Westminster and do nothing more than rubber stamp rules that come from Brussels.

The EU is falling apart. Italy and Greece are all but bankrupt.(they certainly cannot service their debt)
There is civil unrest in France and the yellow vests have not gone away....Macron has just applied a D notice to the reporting of the uprising. So the press are banned from reporting it.
Germany is on the brink of a recession.

The EU was a socio political experiment that turned into Frankensteins Monster.

As a trading organisation it was acceptable,( we'll sort of...there was still a lot of underhand stuff going on...skulduggery) but it had ideas above its station...a wannabe superstate.

It has sucked the life out of a number of countries(Portugal, Italy, Spain, Greece, Ireland) and turned them into nothing more than vassal states...it has stolen their identities.

Nah, you should have seen him yesterday, it only fitted where it touched, he has become man mountain coming on in leaps and bounds, he'll have the E.U. leaders curtsey whenever he enters the room.
