But when the politics doesn't go your way, you see division.

  4.  @R0B1NG5  If you're still paying membership fees to a gym that no longer allows you to use its facilities, you need to do something about that.

  5.  @TorianTammas  I can guarantee that if the EU were a gym club, it would have no hope of demanding any money from anyone is similar circumstances. As a gym club would have set out its rules beforehand, and be able to provide something more than just an arbitrary demand for a massive amount of cash from people who wish to leave.

  6.  @TorianTammas  The EU is way more than just a trading block. It is a political union too. And I would very much enjoy watching the EU attempt to justify its totally arbitrary demands for £39 billion from the UK taxpayer in court. Courts tend to get very technical in the details of such things. And would no doubt be very interested in how Brussels came up with such a sum.

  7. In particular, read what Marx said about the jews. Like Corbyn, he didn't like the jews. Not at all.

  8. The facts are that EU membership is not a necessity. For any country. Which is why there are so many successfully countries who are not members of the EU. If the minority wish to be part of a federal Europe, that's their right. But most people who voted remain did so out of fear. Not because they want to be part of a political union. Its a bit of a waste of time fantasising about a mournful sullen future filled with cynicism and regret, all because people voted to leave the EU. More than a bit passive aggressive. In 200 years time people will be wondering what all the fuss was about. And will find it strange that a minority were so obsessed with dumping the principle of democratic accountability simply because they found it an inconvenience.

  9. @Aaron Giles Can you be sure that the EU will be the same then as it is now? How far would you be prepared to go towards political union?

  10. @Aaron Giles A couple million people just signed a petition to disenfranchise the majority, because they don't agree with them - Not much to crow about there!

  14. Google Conqueror Yeah, I mentioned Iran in my original post. Did you not notice that as you rushed to Corbyn's defence? ''...Because there aren't Iranians influencing western domestic and foreign policy'' - Yes there are. Check out Corbyn's fellow travellers in the so called 'stop the war coalition'. Or just check out Corbyn's support of the Iranian regime itself. And do I really think Jeremy Corbyn is in league with the extremists?? Yes. Just as he was with the IRA. Also, if there's one thing radical extremist religious sects are good at, its hating each other. So no, its not news to me that Shias and Sunnis 'don't get along'.

  18.  Sven Tempest  Then you'll have to spell it out for me, won't you? Because as well as having a referendum, parliament has already voted to implement article 50 - So I'm wondering, is there some other representative process that needs to be done that you can think of? Have you suddenly discovered another layer of parliamentary democracy that up until now no one was aware of? Found several millions more of the population hiding under a rock that hasn't cast their vote, have you?

  19. Mikhail Merkulov I sympathise with the fact that Russians have a hard time admitting just how bad their leaders are. They still idolise Stalin. And he killed off 20 million of them!

  20.  @lesigh1749  The EU had nothing to do with Russia's invasion of Georgia or Ukraine. Both those countries are independent states. And can therefore trade and make alliances with who they wish. The fault was with Russia. As it considers neither country to be fully independent. Hence its invasion of both when those countries acted as independent countries.

  21. @Aaron Giles Certainly when it comes to membership of the EU, even its loudest supporters in the UK are very unwilling to even admit federalisation is a thing. Much less argue in its defence. But politicians can only really be honest about their preferred outcome. About what direction they hope to be heading.

  22.  @nhlazyarse  The EU is not socialist. But clearly some people have no idea where EU money comes from. As was in evidence every time anyone in the remain campaign mentioned the benefits of EU subsidies, without saying who payed for them.

  23. @Aaron Giles The EU decided to make Brexit as painful as possible, in order to stop the UK from leaving. And they used the Northern Ireland border issue to do that. Those who campaigned for remain have now gone back on their promise to respect the referendum result. With the leaders of the Lib Dems and Greens both saying that if they got to rerun the referendum, they still would not accept the result if it went against them a second time. Along with the labour party vowing to vote against any leave deal the tories put forward (and even their own deal, if they were in a position to make one), the EU doesnt see it worth their while to negotiate. Because its unlikely parliament would ever vote for any leave deal no matter what it is. So why would they bother? So we have a combination of EU high risk taking in the hope of preventing the UK from leaving, along with parliament going back on their word and voting against anything that makes Brexit possible, pushing the country towards a no deal Brexit. Pretty ironic, really. This could have been avoided if the remain campaign had recognised the referendum result as they promised they would. Thats why we put things to the vote, after all. Because they can't win. Even if they got their hoped for rerun of the referendum, and somehow won it, the remain campaign would now simply do as they did and ignore the result. Because you can't opt out of the democratic process when it goes against you, then opt in when it goes your way, and expect others not to follow your lead. I don't like throwing the word 'traitor' around. But I know a lot of people who voted leave do. And you have to admit that in some respects they have a point. Why is it that we had Blair and others from the remain campaign running off to Brussels to give advice on how best to undermine the UK's negotiations? Can you imagine that being a thing at any other time? And why is it that, having lost the vote, the remain campaign are now cheering on nationalists working to break up the UK, like, 'if I can't get my way, no one gets anything'? Many people need to be reassessing their loyalties. The democratic process? Or Brussels? You can't have both. But you are right. When this all over, everyone is gonna have to get along with everyone else. Because the world is not going to come to an end. The sky is not going to fall. And remainers will not be vindicated by saying 'I told you so' just as their longed for apocalypse descends. Life will go on.

  24. @Aaron Giles Once the UK leaves the EU it would be political suicide for any party to advocate rejoining. EU membership is not a revolving door. And whether the UK would want to join whatever federalised entity the EU is in the future, I doubt it. If parties like the lib dems always vote against the result of any referendum that goes against them, it really calls into question what is the point in holding any referendum on any subject at all? Because if the lib dems do it, why not every other party? And don't forget, it was the Lib Dems who originally called for an 'in or out' referendum on EU membership back in 2008-9. At this point they are simply attempting to wreak any kind of progress at all. Of course, they could still campaign to rejoin. As Farage said, he would continue to campaign for leave. But first you would expect the result of the vote to be implemented. A party can lose an election and still campaign to win a future election. What they can't do is prevent the winning party from taking power.

  26.  @lecorsaire2283  I'm guessing you wouldn't support an intervention in Yemen either. As you probably didn't support any kind of intervention in Syria or Libya. Most likely because you tacitly support the regimes there, just as you mostly likely do with Venezuela. Either way, lecturing Venezuelans on Yemen isn't going to solve Venezuela's problems.

  27.  @lecorsaire2283  And North Korea is under no threat of invasion from the US. You seem to have misread your history - it was North Korea that invaded the south, not the other way around. The reality is that neither the US nor South Korea have to will to take on the massive burden of reunifying Korea.

  28.  @lecorsaire2283  It was part of the Arab spring, that started in Tunisia, spread to Egypt and Libya, and carried on to Syria. Tunisia was spared destruction because Ben Ali was forced out. Same in Egypt, altho not so much of a success. Difference in Libya and Syria is that the dictators decided to go to war against their own people to stay in power. If Assad had stepped down, Syria would not have gone through years of war. But the Assad regime, thats been in power for around about 40 years, clearly considered its own survival to be of more importance than the survival of the country itself. Much like Gaddafi in Libya and Maduro in Venezuela. And as I said, North Korea is under no threat from invasion from either the South or the US. All the provocation has come from North Korea, and all the aid from the South and the US. You need to check your history books. The Kim regime was put in place by Stalin after the defeat of Japan, on advice from his secret police chief, Lavrentiy Beria. With the support of Stalin, North Korea invaded the south, starting the Korean war, which, luckily for the people in the South, they lost and the UN won.

  29. Their whole lives they have been told nothing is ever their fault. That they have no responsibilities. Just rights, that someone else must fulfil. So obviously when this is happening in their own communities, they see themselves as helpless bystanders that have no input into the situation. We hear a lot about 'empowerment' but no results. Because in this case 'empowerment' only ever means demanding more from someone else. Screaming vitriol and hatred at the government won't change things. It not politicians who are stabbing kids on the streets. And would they truly want the government to come into their houses and tell them how to live? They want a curfew? They want the prime minister or police to tell them what time their kids have to go to bed?

  33. Not really 'independence' though, is it? Because the SNP still want to send their MP's all the way to Brussels (which is further away than London). Where the real decisions are made. If you call that independence, you're a liar.

  36.  @duckweedy  The UK already trades under WTO rules with countless other countries. All signatories to the WTO already accept it as the default position unless you are prepared to make a better deal with another signatory.

  38. Dawud Islam Then why bring it up? We're supposed to be ok with the leader of the opposition supporting terrorism against his own country because of what Israel did in 1945 and confusion over the USS Liberty? Why not bring up the 1981 Paquisha incident between Peru and Ecuador? It has as much relevance to Corbyn's support of terrorism in the UK. In other words, none.

  39.  @42earthling  And parliament has rejected the deal - probably a good thing too. So expect a no deal Brexit.

  40.  @diarmuidkelleher5319  Nope. Nigel Farage is not a Le Pen, and neither is he far right. He left Ukip. Since then the party has wandered off into the wilderness of the far right. And has suffered because of it. It is a spent force.

  41.  @petewalsh2286  The EU doesn't fund the NHS at all. In fact, it siphons away taxpayer cash that could be used for the NHS, and for the disabled and poor. The UK doesn't need the EU to legislate for worker rights and protections. And we know why people voted to leave the EU, and it had nothing to do with tax evasion ffs.

  42.  @Coldheart322  It was predicted soon after the referendum result that the remain campaign would call for a rerun. And they would concoct some bs logic in order to split the leave vote.

  44.  @petewalsh2286  If you admit that the EU doesn't fund the NHS, then why bring up the fact that they aren't responsible for cutting NHS spending? - They wouldn't be responsible for any increases in NHS spending either. So why are you conflating the two? But the EU does take UK taxpayer money that could be better spent investing in the NHS. And the UK government is answerable to UK voters. The fact that you don't like them isn't an argument against democratic accountability.
    1
  45.  @petewalsh2286  Ah. Well, the logic of your sarcasm was wrong then. Because people didn't vote to leave the EU because they blamed it for spending cuts. Or for the mess the last government left the country's finances in that necessitated those cuts - They could've just voted against the tories if thats how they felt. They voted to leave because they didn't want political union with the rest of Europe. So you're kinda arguing against a point no one has made. Which is why you never get anywhere.
