  1. He was just grateful for the engines - so we didn't get to hear him farting at the same time.

  2. Well. Let's hope the Chinese cannot identify the handwriting - else some poor soul will be getting a bullet thanks to the idiots at Sky News.

  3. Jeremy Corbyn is a decent guy - I might not want everything on his wish-list, but I take his word over Sky, BBC, C4, Tories, Blairites etc. This is the elite trying to destroy a person for almost distributing wealth a bit more fairly. These days most Labour Party MPs are really protecting the interests of the superrich - how else would Tony Blair be worth £50 million...
    70
  4. Everyone who voted for UK independence should vote Reform on 4 July because, the Tory Party and Labour don't really want an independent UK.
    57
  5. So that cleared that up - Sky doesn't like people saying what they think.
    53
  6. Odd missing persons report that doesn't show a photo of who's missing...

  7.  @robopalo8041  Ukraine is in Europe and Russia appears to have a say there.
    45
  8. The self-importance is dazzling.
    42
  9. MPs are just 650 citizens who each had one vote in the referendum - the people have decided the UK should leave the EU and be an independent country - MPs should forget their 'ideas' and get on with it.
    37
  10. Hang on a minute! What's stopping Mr Healy and Mr Johnson volunteering for the Meat Grinder?
    27
  11. There are a few million people out there that only want Starmer because they're fed up with the Tories and now there's a new exciting alternative. Expect Reform to start taking support from Labour.
    27
  12. In not accepting a democratic result - just because he does not agree with the result - he's proving he's actually a fascist.
    23
  13. I'm very confident if Richard Tice formed the next government the boats would stop forthwith.
    18
  14. I thought the people in the disputed territory voted to join Russia.
    18
  15. What about when she complained of too many blue eyed blonde haired NHS nurses from the EU?
    18
  16. So, if people voted "loud and clear" for Labour - how did they vote in 2019 when Corbyn got half a million more Labour votes?
    16
  17. 40000 is only 80 flights and the UK's summer holiday planes are not being used to capacity. The return flights can bring us something legal like coffee and macadamia nuts.
    16
  18. It's the pro-EU politicians and activists that have been dividing the country for half a century. They were told when they set out that the British people did not want to be part of a united states of Europe, but they thought their ideas were paramount.
    15
  19. ​ @Paylala  Each to 'their' own not 'there'..
    14
  20. 70k of those are generals and cooks...

  21. We should keep on having democracy until the losers win.
    14
  22. This shows how stupid they we think we are.
    13
  23. Irish must be a strong gene, because the fact one of his thirty two great great great great grandparents was Irish has made him think he's Irish.
    13
  24. The propaganda around no-deal is not working. No-deal fulfils the independence and new beginning the electorate voted for. It looks as though pro EU MPs are conniving to impede this mandate to keep open the possibility of rejoining down the road.
    13
  25. Some people want war/death/destruction to control a bit of land where the people have voted for peaceful independence.
    13
  26. Let's face it, the eight prime ministers from Heath to Cameron are now yesterday's twits with the wrong vision for their country.
    12
  27. Reform MP Rupert Lowe donates all of his MP salary to charities in his constituency.
    12
  28. He says he's so 'anti-violence' he refrained from resisting his brother - and then in the next paragraph, he's bragging about killing people...
    12
  29. The UK parliament has a majority of pro EU activists. These people are loyal the EU not the British people. They know they cannot overturn the 2016 people's vote, so they are working toward a Brexit that keeps the UK tethered to the EU. This way they can attempt to rejoin in future. What they don't want is no-deal, as this will see the UK thrive outside of the EU and the idea of rejoining would never get off the ground.
    11
  30. It will happen because the MPs will have no choice. It all comes down to a thing called: 'democracy'. We are currently being subjected to a period of reflection, but it's apparent the public are not interested in the EU, so the MPs will have no option, but to support Brexit.
    11
  31. There was nowhere near 700 000 - complete propaganda.
    11
  32. I think a lot of English Labour voters quite like the idea of SNP keeping a Labour government on the people's side.
    10
  33. How can she be voted out? If she believes they are too thick to vote why doesn't she revoke the result?
    10
  34. Actually, it's for the people of Northern Ireland to decide.
    9
  35.  @JTMaster  Which is why the Russians invaded - there was a civil war. Ethnic Russian speakers (9m) were being attacked by Ukraine forces. Ukraine government banned Russian language in education, on TV and in employment.
    9
  36. Exactly! This is like if Scotland voted to leave the UK and join the EU and the UK government did not recognise the vote and sent English troops into Scotland to fight SNP supporters and then the EU invaded the UK (Scotland) and started liberating SNP supporters against the UK.

  37. Is arrogant and rude still on the curriculum at Eton?

  38. In the last 3 recorded years there were 15770 home repossessions - in the last 3 years of the last Labour government there were 127400 home repossessions...

  39. The only thing that's grown is his free wardrobe...

  40. Fake or not it shows what he's really like.

  41. This guy was the last Labour prime minister (for those that cannot stand ancient history).
    7
  42. What has 'dying' to do with 'work'?
    7
  43. The repeated use of the term 'youngsters' when some of them have beards tells us all we need to know about 'Sky News'...
    7
  44. When he says Nigel Farage has been on BBC Question Time 32 times 'over months' this is actually since 2000. In that same period there have been around 3000 other guests the vast majority of which have been pro the UK's membership of the EU.
    7
  45. What Remoaners really mean by 'Let's make Brexit work' is 'We can't win a join referendum - so if we pretend to respect democracy - we can work with the EU on policy and propaganda toward future UK membership and most voters will not notice.'
    7
  46. So the 60s, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and the 'British Invasion' didn't actually happen because the UK wasn't in the EU then... More anti Brexit crap from Sky 'News' as usual!
    7
  47. A large gap still exists between Guy Verhofstadt's front teeth.
    7
  48. When the result was announced I thought the sound on my telly had gone wrong - but then the postman told me it was the sound of Tory knees knocking together ;o)
    6
  49. As Bob Crow said: 'If the Unions don't stand up for the ordinary person - who else will?'.........Certainly not the likes of Boris Johnson. A sad day indeed.
    6
  50. Same tacticians and scriptwriters.
    6
  51.  @OneTrueScotsman  Yes, but only if NI first votes to break from UK.
    6
  52.  @Happy_Shopper  The only losers will be EU producers - we can produce our own or buy from other countries.
    6
  53. The problem is since 1970s Labour and Tories have served the EU and UK people's lives have got worse. The only way to change this deceit is vote for the party that puts the UK people first.
    6
  54.  @gdwnet  In the 1975 UK referendum the 'No' campaign warned in a leaflet 'the price of butter in the UK will be almost doubled by 1978 if we stay in'. It claimed the EEC, through the Common Agricultural Policy, forced Britain to buy food from other member states and banned the import of cheap butter from New Zealand. Actually, the price of butter in the UK quadrupled by 1978.
    6
  55. Remaining in the Single Market and Customs Union is not leaving the European Union... The United Kingdom electorate voted to leave the European Union.
    6
  56. Pro EU MPs should stand down as their vision for the country has been rejected.
    6
  57. Actually. they were called 'remainers' - then when Leave won, those that would not accept the vote were called 'remoaners' - then when the UK left the EU - those that would not accept it are called 'silly twats'.
    6
  58. I used to like him in Michael Bentine's Potty Time.
    6
  59. I would like to apologise on behalf of the British people for Kay Burley.
    6
  60. So the advisers have to take the blame, because Mrs May is a good robot.
    5
  61. There's not a jot of evidence to suggest the people of the UK ever wanted to be part of a united states of Europe... Not a jot.
    5
  62. Leave voters anticipated a rocky road out of the EU, but are confident it's the right road to a better place.
    5
  63. 28 countries and 3million non UK citizens have come here for jobs and 1million UK citizens have gone there to retire and spend their UK pensions... Big of the EU to agree to allow that situation to continue.
    5
  64. After Kier eventually steps down for throwing stones in his greenhouse, Ed will be the ideal replacement for keeping pro-EU twits out of Downing Street.

  65. "If that guy thought glitter could make me shine - he doesn't know me"
    5
  66. Sky News is about as trustworthy as the 'Block Brexit Campaign' (BBC)
    5
  67. Nonsense. All that is required is for the shellfish to be processed (depurated) and the EU will accept imports. It's just a matter of a little investment and some more UK jobs which I'm sure the UK government will provide, oh, and some compensation for the fisherman too.
    5
  68. I don't think the Labour Party quite get how many Labour voters they are alienating by opposing Brexit. Millions of Labour voters voted for Brexit and have had two years of well-off Labour politicians telling them they are second class citizens whose opinions should be ignored... These ordinary patriots are now seeing Eton educated toffs as brothers in arms.
    5
  69. The Ukraine Army was not 'better' in the beginning - it was given lots of very effective weapons that a chimpanzee could use.
    5
  70. Strange how during the referendum we were told 'no loss of sovereignty' - Where's the 27 EU country's sovereignty right now?
    5
  71. In 2016 52% voted for common sense against Tory, Labour, Lib Dem - the same can happen again.

  72. He looks like he uses the same food bank as Eric Pickle.
    4
  73. So it's OK have a debate on the NHS as long as we don't mention sick people accessing treatment. 
    4
  74. Cleary this is how Labour MPs talk to each other when they think decent people won't hear them.
    4
  75. Nonsense. All that is required is for the shellfish to be processed (depurated) and the EU will accept imports. It's just a matter of a little investment and some more UK jobs which I'm sure the UK government will provide, oh, and some compensation for the fisherman too.

  76.  @garybarrett4881  If not for the Leave votes from Scotland and Northern Ireland - Remain would have won.
    4
  77. They don't want by-elections because, 'the people have had enough of voting' - so they're campaigning for a 'people's vote' instead.
    4
  78. He's good at talking nonsense to simple people. He begins by saying 3 bridges are down so Russia cannot get troops in and then says there are no Russian troops in so Russia must be short of troops.
    4
  79. I liked the '17 miles of lorry congestion' - where they get that figure from? Perhaps it was 'scientifically' calculated to be '17.4 miles' and they rounded it down in favour of Brexit voters.
    4
  80. It looks like the EU and Starmer are out of the picture - caused enough mayhem.
    4
  81. I shouldn't be surprised if they give her tactical vote campaign a party political broadcast.
    4
  82. It's not a matter of 'switching sides' it's about recognising there are sides and doing what's best for those sides and everyone affected. There is no evidence Russia intends to advance further than the areas where the people have voted to be with Russia. So, the idea WW3 is justified because some Russian people voted for independence from Ukraine and were crushed, is madness.
    4
  83. Drain the swamp - vote Reform!
    4
  84. Half of Remain votes were influenced by Project Fear and Project Fear is bollocks.
    4
  85. People who are paid (like Andrew Marr) £400K a year with perks to 'inform' people are not deluded - it's the people that believe them who are deluded...
    4
  86. How are they standing up for democracy when the people of the disputed areas have voted to be with Russia?
    4
  87. Half or Remain votes were because of Project Fear and Project Fear is bollocks.
    4
  88. She didn't say anything about Northern Ireland other than what everybody already knows. If any UK government believes it likely the people of NI would vote to separate from the UK there will be a referendum. This is not going to happen unless it looks highly probable.
    4
  89. OK let's assume we have a second IN/OUT vote - who's going to head up the IN camp? - Cable? Clegg? Blair? Major? Soubry? Clarke? Geldof? Umuna?... Everyone else has since endorsed Leave. 70% of MPs want to stop Brexit - if they believed the country had changed its mind we would be having a second IN/OUT vote for that very reason.
    4
  90. Sky is reporting today that a 'hundred thousand' marched for a 'people's vote'. So, what exactly is the evidence for this? An average 12 year old could work out from the aerial images that the actual figure is well under ten thousand.
    4
  91. Erika Yasu's comment translated: "The government, the media, and the people of the urban areas at the time were against leaving. However, the referendum showed the will to leave. Certainly Britain is a trap of a democratic nation. Prime Minister May's proposed agreement with the EU is that the UK will continue to pay 5.5 billion yen each year to the EU. The British Parliament should not insult the people, but should respond to the people's request for "British national resurgence." "
    4
  92. The propaganda around no-deal is not working. No-deal fulfils the independence and new beginning the electorate voted for. It looks as though pro EU MPs are conniving to impede this mandate to keep open the possibility of rejoining down the road.
    4
  93. 'fascism' is a twentieth century concept. 'Islam is an ancient religion. To conflate the two is perverse and smells of trickery. 'Cameron was wrong to criticise Corbyn' - 'I come to bury Caesar not to praise him'.....Sure!
    3
  94. When Cameron was leader of the opposition he debated Gordon Brown at PM'sQs which didn't prevent him demanding TV debates with Gordon Brown. He's clearly afraid of Ed Miliband.
    3
  95. +Matthew Mitchell Students have never asked for free university education. Students have asked for university education to be paid for by taxation.
    3
  96. I think that's very likely anyway - and they know it. I expect some with marginal seats will defect to Lib Dems - if they think they can keep their jobs that way.
    3
  97. We did not have VAT before the EU imposed it on us as a condition of joining.
    3
  98. Why does the media never mention the people of the disputed territory voted to be part of Russia?
    3
  99. This has nothing to do with Brexit! If Cameron had won the referendum and was given a birthday cake - exactly the same thing would have happened - it's about 'justice'...
    3
  100. Nonsense. All that is required is for the shellfish to be processed (depurated) and the EU will accept imports. It's just a matter of a little investment and some more UK jobs which I'm sure the UK government will provide, oh, and some compensation for the fisherman too.

  101.  @vercoda9997  A lot of people in Northern Ireland would have followed advice of UK Government to vote Remain. Things have changed.

  102. Standing in a suit and glasses paid for by another man - what a simp...

  103. If only we had known feta halloumi gorgonzola and bratwurst was going to be a bit more expensive - we would never have voted for sovereignty!

  104. I seem to remember Hillary predicting she would be president - lol!
    3
  105. When the 'modern' woman meets a Christian woman - the 'modern' woman thinks the Christian woman is thinking the 'modern' woman is not a good wife. The Bible says a wife should be like a crown on her husband's head - not like rot in her husband's bones.

  107. Nonsense. All that is required is for the shellfish to be processed (depurated) and the EU will accept imports. It's just a matter of a little investment and some more UK jobs which I'm sure the UK government will provide, oh, and some compensation for the fisherman too.

  109. @Peekle There is nothing in the GFA about Brexit and nothing about trade. It agrees an end to UK security checkpoints on the border and Brexit can be achieved without any stops on the border.
    3
  110. He said: 'Remember all the assets Thatcher took from the people - the Labour Party should give them back to the people.'
    3
  111. He actually said: 'Many people there [NI] - nearly a majority are saying there cannot be an executive without looking at the protocol again'. That appears to be a fair assessment and even includes those that accept the protocol, but recognise others will not.
    3
  112. Sky needs to be called out on its bias - they keep claiming a 'hundred thousand' marched for a second referendum when anyone who could buy a bag of pick and mix sweets could work out there was less than ten thousand. Arron Banks should offer ten university maths students a thousand pound prize to the one who (based on the same aerial images) gets closest to the average estimate. This would show Sky, BBC, ITV and remain side to be liars and propagandists.

  113.  @thepodbaydoorshal  In time it will move toward a harder internal border for goods similar to any UK/EU border, but with people being able to move freely and act according to individual rights. It will rely on documents and random off-border checks. People are not really an issue, because the island is surrounded by hard border and there has always been a bit of smuggling between North and South.

  114.  @mybigbeak  In the last 3 recorded years there were 15770 home repossessions - in the last 3 years of the last Labour government there were 127400 home repossessions...

  115. Shares in cough sweets, event security and glue are down.
    3
  116. The only reason they have a problem choosing a leader is the MPs are divided on what the party stands for. The MPs are looking for someone like Starmer who wants to join the EU, but will be believed when they say: 'I don't want to join the EU.'

  117. Anyone that disagrees with me is an anti-Lazzite.

  118. Anyone seen this wimp trying to hit a punch bag? He's the big man when it comes to other people's lives.

  119. Why can't he and Blair pronounce Brexit? The answer is they can, but they say 'bregset' because they think they're bigger than democracy.

  120. People are seeing they are the same governing organisation - playing the people.

  121. Michael Clarke says this: "Western politicians from the very beginning have said this is a red line for us, we cannot allow Ukraine to be taken over in an act of naked aggression just because the Putin elite think Ukraine ought to be part of Russia again." Russia's way of looking at this is: Western politicians wanted to control Ukraine which caused civil war in Ukraine, Russia mounted a peaceful invasion to stop civil war against ethnic Russian people and then organised independence referendums. The referendums showed the people in the disputed regions wanted independence from Ukraine and to join Russian Federation. Western politicians supplied deadly shoulder launched missiles to Ukraine Army to kill thousands of Russian troops.

  125. And what were your predictions for the Brexit referendum, the 2017 GE and the 2019 GE?

  126. This is what Lord Paddy Ashdown said on a second referendum whilst the votes were being counted: “Here’s the single point: Those that asked for this and I was the first leader ever to ask for a referendum way back in 89/90, have said so because they believe it to be an act of democracy. I will forgive no one who does not accept the sovereign voice of the British people once it has spoken. Whether it’s by 1% or 20%, once they’ve taken it, it is our duty, as those who serve the public to make the best use and to make sure that our country does the best it can with the decision the people have given us. I’ve heard Mr Farage say tonight: ‘We’re coming back even if we lose’. Excuse me! He’s the person that complained about lack of democracy in Europe! If he will not accept the sovereign voice of the British people, whatever they say, then I think he does not have the national interest at heart.” (Lord Paddy Ashdown 24 June 2016)

  127. What 'position' is that?

  128. What Jess Phillips doesn't get is the referendum was a vote of no confidence in people like her. The nation has had enough of worse than useless MPs running the country down.

  129. With committed Remainers shifting to Glib Dems and committed Leavers shifting to Brexit Party and Tories Labour will be lucky to get ten MPs.

  130. Nonsense. All that is required is for the shellfish to be processed (depurated) and the EU will accept imports. It's just a matter of a little investment and some more UK jobs which I'm sure the UK government will provide, oh, and some compensation for the fisherman too.

  134. Harman purported the government was satisfied she would be impartial. It's not 'the government' that need be satisfied on the perception of impartiality in a trial with obvious political implications - it's the accused and the average person in the street. This was not merely a 'perception' of impartiality, this was a series of public statements that, showed Harman to be unequivocally partial. The head judge on this committee stated on several occasions she believed Boris was guilty, before she heard any of the hearing evidence. There's no escaping the absolute reality that, this situation constitutes 'judicial prejudice' and is the very definition of a 'kangaroo court'.

  140. Anyone with any doubts about media bias against UKIP should consider that a Tory councillor in Cornwall has just been rumbled for awarding himself the MBE. But Sky, ITN and the BBC have not even mentioned it.

  141. Really! This video already has 4000 views - videos posted yesterday of Theresa May becoming prime minister have less than a 1000 views.
    2
  142. ***** This has been on the BBC too. Just pointing out that the evidence is Corbyn attracts interest. It seems the more the establishment knocks someone, the more support they get. This happened after the 2010 general election when BBC feared UKIP would hand Labour power in 2015 - they went full-on anti-Farage and the result was he just got even more popular. 
    2
  143. West Brit Yes, well done they're going to Germany which is in the EU and EU citizens have a right to come to the UK. And this referendum is about whether the UK wants to be in the EU...It's not that difficult - try to keep up! ;o)
    2
  144. West Brit No - I dismissed it.

  145. Tracy Beckett Purchase Tax was only levied on luxury goods. So your analogy is erroneous.
    2
  146. Tracy Beckett I don't need to read your link - the difference is this. Prior to VAT being introduced in 1973, there was no tax paid on basic goods at the point of purchase. The Purchase Tax was only payable on goods deemed to be luxury and was not added at the point of purchase.

  147. The current annual UK contribution to the EU is 13 billion of which the UK receives 4.5 billion back, So Nicola wants to ask the Scottish people to leave a UK that will be much better off - to join an EU that will be much worse off.
    2
  148. m0ments-have-you I think it was a fair observation. The jibes directed a Corbyn were not relevant or even accurate. Just obviously pre rehearsed and intended for headline news coverage - knowing the on-side media will oblige.

  149. Definitely see her winning after general election and being the next leader of opposition.

  150.  @MrSparklespring  In 2016, the cost of living in the UK was higher than in Belgium. In 2023, the cost of living in Belgium is higher than in the UK. This independent analyses based on actual wages/costs data shows since voting to leave the EU, the UK is now an easier place to eke out a living than Belgium, France, Germany, Southern Ireland, Netherlands, Austria, Finland...

  151. Her 'deal' is a 'stitch-up' designed and wanted by the pro EU activists because they know they cannot win a second vote. The covert plan is to prevent the freedom of no-deal and keep the UK tethered to the EU for future membership to be achieved by political chicanery.

  155. President Biden has made much of his support for UK people being able to vote to join part of the UK to another country, yet when Russian speaking Ukrainians overwhelmingly vote for East Ukraine to join Russia, this is somehow different and wrong.

  156. Nonsense. All that is required is for the shellfish to be processed (depurated) and the EU will accept imports. It's just a matter of a little investment and some more UK jobs which I'm sure the UK government will provide, oh, and some compensation for the fisherman too.

  159.  @billpugh58  It's not that big a deal to purify shellfish (The Guardian estimated £1m) and compensation paid to UK exporters that have complied with terms agreed by the EU will paid by the EU, or if the EU prefers deducted from UK - EU payments. In reality, the UK market for fish is substantial and there will be a 'eat more British fish' advertising campaign starting soon. I'm sure 17.4m Brexiteers will gladly support UK fishermen and no doubt the Remainers already enjoy a weekly bowl of Cotriade. The number one problem has been the UK restaurant covid crisis.

  168. The giveaway in GL's statement is he calls the BBC "the fairest broadcaster in the world" GL's role at the BBC is not politics - it's football. The BBC does not regulate football and neither does GL. Football is regulated by the National Governing Body (The Football Association) and its match officials (referees) - this is not 'politics' it's 'sport'. The BBC being 'fair' (politically impartial) has no bearing on the BBC's coverage of football. GL's comment about the BBC being 'politically impartial' reveals that he really sees his role at the BBC, as being a political influencer.

They were imposing this 'vision' piecemeal on us, whilst encouraging us to look elsewhere. We rejected this 'vision,' but have kept the same pro-EU political activists in parliament. We need pro-UK independence MPs with a pro-UK independence 'vision' in power.

  177. The EU is stuck between a rock and a hard place over a free trade deal because whatever terms it gives to the UK it will have to give to any EU country that wants democratic/economic independence. Prior to Brexit if a poor country voted to leave the EU could use covert economic sticks to bully that country into submission. If a poor country votes to leave after Brexit, that country can demand the same terms as UK and if the EU refuses it will be seen as being an overt bully with different standards for different purses.

There has been a bloody war on the Ukraine/Russia border for years and The West is supplying arms to fuel war against pro- Russian factions. I don't think USA would like Russia camped on its Mexico border. This little Napoleon is begging to start WW3 and causing avoidable death and destruction to his people. He should have urged his people opposed to the invasion to accept it, because it is inevitable the Russian takeover will succeed. Thousand of people will have died, thousands more will have lost their homes - Russia will be in control of Ukraine and Napoleon will be in Berlin making YouTube videos causing more trouble. Russians do not like foreign armies getting close to Russian soil - read some history.

  186. If the next general election is after the UK has left the EU; Article 50 would no longer be active, so it would not be possible to simply 'revoke' as this would have no effect.

If the UK walks from the 'deal' then WTO will provide a deal and that deal will be further negotiable between the trading parties. There is existing trade and there is no reason for this to be interrupted. If politicians try to obstruct existing trade to interfere people's jobs and lives they will very quickly become even more unpopular than they already are.

  216. It's simple. The Tory Party is still split on 'Europe' and thus cannot get on with what the country voted for and what is in the country's best interest. My Dad told me in the 1970s/80s/90s that 'Europe' would eventually destroy the Tory Party, because a political party cannot survive divided on the biggest possible issue facing the country. This is happening now, the Tory Brexiteer members, councillors, MPs, Lords, are seeing the Tory Party is paying lip service to Brexit and is unable to truly believe in an independent UK. Australia has sales tax at 10% - why are we paying 20%?

I don't think he's ever agreed with IRA violence, but things have got better after talking with them. I wouldn't be so sure about him never becoming PM. There are a lot of people who don't vote because they've become fed up with the political set. Corbyn is offering something completely different and this just might prove popular with ordinary folk as austerity hits them hard and the rich get richer. It's been 40 years since Thatcher came onto the scene and that seems very old hat to many - who can now see the upshot.
    1
  238. xXxChelsea98xXx The point is that there was a time before the British workforce was organised and before there were strikes. Thatcher was instrumental in reducing the size of British industry and what was referred to at the time as 'union bashing' and now the unions have less influence in society. What that means in practice, is that wages fall in relation to the cost of living. If inflation is 4% and the workforce gets a 2% pay increase - that's a 2% pay cut in real terms - if that happens every year for 25 years that is 50% less. If we keep going like that we end up as it was before British workers went on strike, when people worked all their lives to starve in a slum and die without medical care.

The Remain supporting MPs are warning of dire economic consequences of a no-deal Brexit. The electorate is not believing the Remain supporting MPs. Here's the thing: If the Remain supporting MPs believed their own predictions, wouldn't they say: 'Let's go for a no-deal Brexit and let the electorate see what it really means - this way the economic shock on the country would be sure to increase support for Remain MPs - Remain MPs would then be able to approach the EU and rejoin on even more pro-EU terms.' The very fact that Remain MPs are so desperate not to no-deal Brexit, rather gives away the fact they actually believe the UK economy would prosper and their dream of the UK becoming a province of a European superstate would be over.

  287. Don't forget folks that when the UK joined the EEC/EU UK citizens were forced by the EEC to pay VAT on almost everything they needed. Prior to this the UK had a 'Purchase Tax' that was only levied on luxury non-essential items. The EU currently forces EU citizens to pay a minimum 15% tax on the purchase of standard rated goods/services. The UK government had to charge 20% on purchase of standard rated goods/services in order to raise the billions of pounds demanded by the EU for so-called 'free' trade. In other countries like Austrailia and the USA business pays tariffs for their trade with the EU and sales taxes on the consumer are 10% or even less (average USA only 7.25%). So, if the UK goes to WTO tariff based trade with the EU and UK citizens are no longer forced by the EU to pay VAT. The UK will be able to lower this horrible tax from 20% to whatever it likes on whatever it likes making the things UK citizens need more affordable.

The republicans have been encouraged to think they are on the brink of attaining their goal, but people don't just vote to alienate themselves from their NHS, pensions, country. A united Ireland would see the ending of the CTA and ties with the UK. Brexit has been used as a 'Break-up the UK' propaganda tool to alter the minds of Leave voters. The reality, is Brexit has made it much harder to persuade someone in Scotland, Northern Ireland to cut themselves off from the UK.

  299. They think they can target a few million 'floating' voters with project fear and swing it, but in reality these people are more likely to stick with Leave because they believe Leave will win. Also a 'no-deal' choice will be very popular, as it will mean keeping any 'divorce settlement'. Millions of 2016 Remain voters will have voted that way because they wanted to be on what they believed would be the winning side - these people are now likely to switch to Leave. 'Project Fear' is becoming farcical and would no stand up to scrutiny in an equal coverage campaign.

  302.  @geraldaird9390  That may be the case, but it's still possible to transport purified shellfish from UK to the EU within the reduced time frame. I somehow doubt purification facilities exist in each part of the EU, so purified shellfish must be transported all over the EU. The main problem facing UK fishermen is the covid closure of UK restaurants. Potentiality, the UK is a substantial market that will pick-up and adapt. In 2018 the UK actually imported 228.7 thousand tons of fish from the EU, 32.4 thousand tons of which were shellfish.

  303.  @geraldaird9390  I've never eaten them (for those reasons) and I live 30 minutes drive from where this news report was made. I do like and eat fish though. I think there will be a huge increase and changes in UK fish consumption as Brexit supporters will support UK fishing.

  309. That looks like a classic 'pincer movement' that history shows always ends badly for the defending force caught in the teeth of closing jaws. Ukraine commanders really need to get their troops out while there's still a chance. A retreating force cannot apply the same resistance against an advancing enemy. Morale is broken, there is no choice over battle terrain and practical warfare is severely disrupted. I think it was always realistic to assume Ukraine gaining back this territory (and Crimea) was 'pie in the sky'. Such a senseless waste of human lives and misery caused. All that UK/EU/US 'murder/destruction aid' could have been used to help people's lives.

This is what LordPaddy Ashdown said on a second referendum whilst the votes were being counted: “Here’s the single point: Those that asked for this and I was the first leader ever to ask for a referendum way back in 89/90, have said so because they believe it to be an act of democracy. I will forgive no one who does not accept the sovereign voice of the British people once it has spoken. Whether it’s by 1% or 20%, once they’ve taken it, it is our duty, as those who serve the public to make the best use and to make sure that our country does the best it can with the decision the people have given us. I’ve heard Mr Farage say tonight: ‘We’re coming back even if we lose’. Excuse me! He’s the person that complained about lack of democracy in Europe! If he will not accept the sovereign voice of the British people, whatever they say, then I think he does not have the national interest at heart.” (Lord Paddy Ashdown 24 June 2016)

  336. Don't forget the government leaflet advised the decision would affect people for "decades to come" so people voted thinking it would take a few years to get sorted and establish a new relationship with the EU and the rest of the world. It's just a matter of putting division behind us and working with the will of the people. As Remainers would have asked for had the result been 51% to Remain.

  338. They forget if there was a second referendum there would have to be a fair 'ish' debate and look what happened last time people were allowed to make the case for leaving. I think 'Let's keep our 39 billion' would look good on side of the 'no-deal bus'. All this 'end of the world' propaganda would soon be seen for what it is and the remoaner's would be exposed as antidemocratic elites who view the people and their culture as plebs to be frightened into submission.

  348. UK 'news' is creating all this propaganda in a desperate attempt to keep the UK attached to the EU (so the UK rejoining in future will be possible). Plainly, they have forsaken any semblance of credibility and are targeting this crude deception at the 10% of the electorate they clearly think are thick. The motive is swaying a 'deal or no-deal' vote they are obviously attempting to bring about. However, to succeed the propagandist must have a message people are willing to accept as being true: "The UK cannot survive without the EU" and "The UK electorate should be made to keep voting until the establishment gets the result it wants" are not such messages. A further problem, is when propaganda becomes obvious to everyone, it becomes irksome, ridiculous and subversive in nature and so begins to work against its source.

It's no coincidence the invitations to the party were sent out by a Civil Service pro-EU lawyer "bring your own booze" and it's no coincidence the other party leader with anti-EU views and blamed for the referendum result is being removed from politics by pro-EU kangaroo 'justice'...

The UK is out of the EU and that's not going to change, in fact the political distance between the UK and EU will become greater with time. Had Remain won by just a few votes the losers would have been told: 'Mostly old people wanted Brexit and the young voted for the EU, so there will never be need for another referendum'. There would have been huge pro-EU celebrations and politicians would have promised to address the economic and emotional issues that caused so many to vote against the advice of most MPs. It would have been portrayed as 51% level headed vote, 30% angry protest and 19% swivel eyed loonies. The point is those that voted for the UK to become an independent, democratic and sovereign country would have been expected to respect democracy.

It cannot be disputed those who projected and lauded 'From The River to the Sea Palestine will Be Free' were inciting ethnic cleansing of Israeli Jews, which is racial hatred.

  428.  @jamesprice4647  Not every organisation had the responsibility of running the UK. However, your assertion that this did not happen in other organisations is absurd. Keir Starmer was photographed doing the exact same thing - only difference there was nothing 'essential' about whatever it was he was doing. This is obviously a set-up from the moment a Civil Service lawyer at No 10 sent out the invitations "bring your own booze" It's obviously a clandestine plot to undermine Brexit.

  434. Everyone in the UK understood the referendum presented two very distinct choices; either, the UK should continue being part of a 'united states' of other European countries or the UK should become an independent country. At least 50% of the Remain vote (24% of those that voted) accept the result and want the country to move on. This means at least 76% of those that voted now expect the government to make the UK an independent country. Then there are those that were eligible to vote, but did not (13 million) these people must be viewed, as accepting of the outcome. This means out of 44.5 million eligible to vote, at least 38.5 million now expect the UK government to make the UK an independent country.

  438. All these deals are already in place (I refer to the deals between sellers and buyers) There is no reason why EU27 producers would not want to continue selling into the UK market and vis-versa. Therefore, any disruption to people's lives will be the doing of politicians. Let's be realistic, all this scaremongering around 'no-deal' is part of a Remain (that includes BBC, ITV, C4, Sky) strategy leading up to a Brino/no-deal referendum (they even intend using the fear of Irish republican violence).They know they cannot reverse in/out so the plan is to change the goalposts and keep UK tethered to the EU in such a way that rejoining will be possible down the road. Their big fear is that the UK becomes the successful independent nation its people voted for as the British people would never agree to rejoining the EU.

  454. Who's paying for all this 'free' trade? Before the UK joined the EEC/EU there was no VAT only a Purchase Tax levied only on non-essential luxury goods. The EEC forced the UK to introduce VAT and sets a minimum level. VAT is now 20% in the UK. In the USA where imports are subject to tariffs the people pay Sales Tax at between 2.9% and 7.25%. In Australia the Sales Tax is 10% - half of what low income people in the UK are forced to pay for 'free' trade for wealthy business owners to increase profits.

  456. @Roger Melly Nothing about my comments excludes Tories. There's one obstacle to re-joining and that is we left by referendum, so MPs would need to get a re-join referendum result and that seems impossible. Thinking BJ will be gone in a few weeks and replaced by a re-joiner is wishful thinking.

  457. @Roger Melly I don't trust the majority of MPs on 'Europe' but they have been 'put in their box' by the electorate. The fact remains, a referendum would need to be won and; let's put it this way: If they couldn't persuade the electorate to 'stay in' in 2016 - how the Hell are they going to persuade the electorate to 'join'? I'm pretty sure MPs with half a brain get this.

  458. The most effective response to any second referendum would be a total boycott by Leavers (official Leave campaign to ask Leavers not to vote). This would delegitimise the process and create voter apathy among Remain voters. This is the tactic Remain activists fear most. The justification: We had a referendum in 2016 and the result was 'the UK should leave the EU'.

  459.  joe caterman  It would depend on the question. If it was a repeat in/out - then vote, but don't think they would ask 'in/out' again. So if it's brino/no-deal then a Leaver boycott would be an effective tactic, as it would be unlikely the electorate would vote for no-deal. The open threat would be a strong disincentive for the government to attempt such a referendum as a boycott would be a national embarrassment.

  463.  @earthstick  This is what I'm saying. If we end up with a choice between May's Brino deal or no deal then Leavers could boycott on grounds we have already voted to Leave. The threat of this would be a huge issue for the government, as it would destroy the UK's image as a first world democracy. I imagine SNP and Labour will vote for May's Brino deal - as their main object is to keep rejoining an option.

  476.  @naughtiusmaximus7103  The EU is quite big and I don't think there are shellfish cleansing facilities all over the place so shellfish must get transported there. The UK is just as close to the EU as any part of the EU is. There will not be customs hold-ups when things eventually settle down. And of course, oysters can always be frozen and transported that way. In any case, I think the main issue here is the UK restaurant suspension that must have hit UK sales.
