  1. The only reason to demand taking no deal off the table would be to hamstring UK negotiations. If offering no deal will stop the UK from leaving the EU, the EU will offer no deal.
    2
  2. The problem is that MPs of all parties voted in favour of a referendum. They promised to respect the result of that referendum both before and after it. And before the last general election they did the same. But they lied. They never had any intention of doing so, because they never thought the country would vote to leave. That is why they are now out of step with the rest of the country. They have already ruled out leaving the EU. And they have ruled out staying half in/half out. Now all the country is waiting for is for someone to be honest and say that parliament will not carry out the will of the people. No one so far has had the guts to do that. Instead we have a gradual undermining of the UK's negotiating position in preparation for new negotiations. Setting the UK up to fail. Giving an incentive to the other side to offer no acceptable deal - For the UK parliament to do that is unforgivable.

  3. You are correct Jason Gibson. There would not be a single statue left standing in the entire UK. Trump may be a moron, but he was right when he asked if you allow this, what argument could you use against tearing down Washington.

  4. Do not truuust your elected governments or your free media! Truuuust in Putin... Bwahahahahaaaa! >:)

  5.  @diarmuidkelleher5319  Its already been rejected by parliament 3 times. So its dead.

  6. @Nobby Heads So if I suggested that Europe join the US and be governed from Washington, most Europeans would be fine with that? Lol. I don't think so. And might I suggest that you not play the 'dreams of old empire' card. As mainland Europe has a very long history of that too (and worse besides).

  7.  @diarmuidkelleher5319  Hey, could be worse. At least the UK doesn't have Le Pen and the AFD!
    2
  8.  @Oprey22  It doesn't suddenly become a thing now just because it happened to be aimed at a tory who voted against leaving the EU.
    2
  9.  @emm_arr  Yes, because promoting political violence and racism is ok when the left does it.
    2
  10.  @emm_arr  If promoting political violence is so not ok, then why is it that Jeremy Corbyn is leader of the labour party?
    2
  11.  @emm_arr  I notice you're not answering my question - And it is a legitimate question.
    2
  12.  @emm_arr  Because ham not being in hamburgers is not relevant to the subject, which is - political parties and media hypocrisy
    2
  13.  @emm_arr  Nope. You'll need to do better than that if you want to continue this conversation.

  14. Trump pretty much buys into every conspiracy theory Michael Moore has ever propagated. So why is Moore complaining?
    2
  15. Oh, dear. Never mind. No harm done. It's only a third world KGB commie regime after all.

  16. Marilyn Manson's put on a lot of weight

  17. No. One privileged woman's hissy fit is not news.
    2
  18. You cannot blame a present day photographer for what went on before Malcolm X. And the fashion industry is not where you want to be if you're concerned about how women see themselves. Like I said, it is vacuous and empty. It's all about looks. Not feelings. That is how she makes her money. For her looks and for no other reason.
    2
  19. Refusing to play the game? She is only employed because of her looks. And name one person in the fashion industry who discourages black women from valuing themselves.
    2
  20. The fashion industry represents an ideal. You can buy into that ideal. You can make money from that ideal (as she herself does). Or you can take responsibility for your own actions and decide not to straighten your own hair. Victimhood is not a virtue. It gets you nothing but pity. And this whole non-issue is truly pitiful.
    2
  21. Only she's not challenging any ideal. She's simply playing victim. Most likely because she knows it will get her publicity. And it has. And publicity is how she makes her money.
    2
  22. What I see is a very privileged individual cynically using race to further her career. Two other individuals playing along. And the inevitable results of that in the comments.
    2
  23. One privileged woman's hissy fit is not the bigger picture.
    2
  24. Privileged model's hissy fits are big stories now, are they? Or is just that they're reduced to scraping the bottom of the barrel in an ever more desperate attempt to encourage the cult of victimhood?
    2
  25. Its not my problem that this non-story has so little to justify itself. Does channel 4 news have the guts to accuse the photographer of racism? Name names. After all, if this was a hate crime then there needs to be a perpetrator as well as a victim, right?
    2
  26. Come back when you have an argument that isn't a meaningless cliche.
    2
  27. ''channel four are more alert to the bigger picture while allowing their audience to reach their own conclusions and to discuss them here'' ''C4 cannot be expected to shrink themselves and their coverage to the lack of imagination or stupidity of their least imaginative or most stupid viewers..'' Is the news supposed to be subjective to the point that we must use our imaginations to create our own news out of nothing? You speak in media studies jargon. And like most people who do the same, you don't like it when others refuse to play along.
    2
  28.  @zoetropo1  Then Jeremy Corbyn should not have promised to honour the result of a non-binding peoples referendum. And should now admit he was lying in the hope that it would win him the last election.
    2
  29. Oh, I see now. Because the government are preparing for a no deal, the remain campaign (which is still being massively financed), along with the Guardian and Channel 4, are looking to dig up dirt to trash any preparations the UK government makes. In the hope that a 'no deal' cannot be an option (Andy McDonald actually says this). Which would essentially mean that, if May's deal is voted down (very likely), the EU just has to refuse to make any deal at all, leaving the only option to remain - That's basically how you work to undermine the peoples vote. Just before you trash it completely. And they wonder why trust in politicians and the media is so low?

  30. How do you go about quantifying the facts of something like Brexit?
    2
  31. ​ James Registe  ''Those who do not learn the mistakes of History are doomed to repeat them" In Stalinist Russia the false accusation of 'fascist' was widely used to (literally) kill opposition. Learn from that bit of history.
    2
  32.  @TeaParty1776  And? I never claimed they weren't. However, Timothy Snyder is attempting to smear the present government and the idea that the UK should leave the EU as 'fascist'. Which is a lie. He does this because he really doesn't like the idea of Brexit. And rather than accepting that others can legitimately hold their own views that are at odds with his (in this case on the subject of membership of a political union with the rest of Europe), he instead finds it easier to imagine that the only possible reason why anyone could disagree with him is that they are inherently evil. That they are fascists. Or, as David Lammy would say, 'worse than nazis'. This is exactly the thinking fanatical Trump supporters use. Its not enough that they don't like Hillary Clinton, or her politics, they have to imagine that she eats babies in pizza restaurants too. Timothy Snyder is the remainer equivalent of a fanatical Donald trump supporter. Demonising those who hold moderate political views simply because they disagree with him.

  33.  @emm_arr  What you do is no concern of mine.

  34. Lol. ''...Assad is the elected and rightful ruler of Syria''. He's a puppet kept in place by Putin! And he will fight to the very last Syrian to keep him in power.

  35. John Johnson Any government's foreign policy will always be hypocritical. Because of the world we live in. So just as western democracies considered the Stalin regime to be the lesser of two evils (debatable - if you were unfortunate enough to live under it) when allying against Hitler, so too is it considered necessary today to have to deal with some pretty nasty regimes. Corbyn believes this too. Which is why he lent his support to the Iranian regime and/or the IRA. But he doesn't do that because he believes it is necessary for the good of UK interests. But because he supports the Iranian regime. Because he see's it is an ally against western liberal democracy. And capitalism. The same is true of his support of the socialist regime in Venezuela. George Galloway, his long-time friend, also thinks this way. So Jeremy Corbyn didn't work for the Islamic revolutionary regime's PressTV because he was interested in justice or human rights - You only have to compare Iran now, with Iran under the Shah to see how things are worse (especially for women). He worked for the regime because he will always support any cause that is against liberal democracy. And capitalism. Because he's an admirer of Karl Marx and Marxism (as he freely admits himself).

  36. The question on the Scot's independence referendum was also a simple stay/leave option. But everybody knew what they were voting for. Just as they did during the Brexit referendum. The problem isn't that voters don't know what they want. Its that those who promised to deliver it have gone back on their word.

  37. World war 3???? OMFG its even worse than we thought! - Brexit has caused world war 3!

  38. If the EU are not prepared to negotiate on the Irish border question then they have already torn up the good Friday agreement.
    2
  39.  @emm_arr  The good Friday agreement says nothing about the UK having to remain within the EU. It commits both sides to preventing the need for a hard border. And as the EU has now taken over that responsibility from the Irish government, the EU is as much committed to upholding the agreement as the UK. This means it needs to negotiate. It cannot simply expect the UK to give in to its demands. By refusing to negotiate, the EU has signalled its intention to ditch the good Friday agreement if the UK does not agree with those demands.

  40. While it is true that the Russian 'Internet Research Agency' have been very active during western elections (Russians can have an opinion on everyone else's elections, but their own), they really dont have to bother trying to undermine democracy in the UK at this present time. As the remain campaign are doing such a very good job of that themselves.

  41.    The whole country is one big museum tbh
    2
  42.  @nigget-tv-videos4135  Regardless, now watch as, having lectured everyone on the rise in hate crime, economic responsibility, and extremism, the remain campaign throw their full weight behind an anti-Semitic Trotskyist who spent his entire career advocating on behalf of terrorists.

  43. NHS needs more money? Never heard such a thing!
    2
  44. Why was Galloway interfering in Venezuelan politics?
    2
  45. Thats how I understand it. Unless Bercow suddenly decides that he was wrong just because Donald Tusk demands another vote, rather than the elected PM. Then it would mean all those remain MPs having to vote for something they have continuously voted against. It would be quite a u-turn, that would put May's u-turns in the shade lol

  46. Corbyn's Brexit policy is basically to tell Brussels 'give us a good deal or we won't leave!'
    2
  47. Novocastrian Winter is actually a dirty little commie.
    2
  48. It will basically be a rerun of the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
    2
  49.  @jamesrosejr33  The SNP have been campaigning for decades to split from the UK. And do you really think the loyalist community in Northern Ireland will break away from the UK for the sake of the EU? - You don't know your history.
    2
  50. Are they though? Are they really? Or is it just a case of the mainstream left of politics no longer bothering to put up an argument, and simply reverting to calling anyone who they disagree with a racist? I don't like Trump at all, but he's not a fascist. Vastly corrupt and probably mentally unstable, but not a nazi. When has Trump advocated the US being a whites only state?
