  1. Where did the money come from? The fake diamond geezer has something to hide.

  2.  @jonathanhammerton9418 . Says who? And the exit deal is only the exit arrangement. A final deal could be negotiated with access to the single market and customs union. This would benefit our businesses after all.

  3.  @jonathanhammerton9418 . Still only the exit arrangement. And we are still within an extension period in which a change of government would transform the situation entirely. What if the Lib Dems win the GE? REVOKE! If Labour win they will seek a closer relationship with the EU. And the EU will not simply dismiss a proposal that is mutually productive. Corbyn just won't accept a Brexit that costs jobs and rights and standards. Why would anyone accept that?

  4.  @jonathanhammerton9418 . Also it's a bit odd that Boris Johnson said that Northern Ireland had a great deal as they would still have the single market and freedom of movement. So how come it's a great thing for Northern Ireland but a bad thing for us?

  5. If he had a Pinocchio nose it would hit the moon.

  6. Then the leave camp obviously employed more devious tactics. I don't trust Farage. I don't trust Jacob Rees-Mogg. And I really don't trust Steve Bannon or the other Alt Righters. They're up to something, and it will likely be very bad news to anyone who is not part of the moneyed elite.

  7. I really did laugh out loud. Boris is big on blarney and slim on substance. So looking at it realistically I'd say NO BRIDGE! NOT EVER. WON'T HAPPEN! THERE IS NO BRIDGE! THE BORIS BRIDGE IS JUST FART GAS. Along with everything else he says.

  8.  @saxglend9439 . How do you work that out? One vial of the insulin USA $275. So are they going to sell it to the NHS cheaper? And what was on those redacted pages? What is being hidden? And what will it cost us?

  9. He's just pointing out a clear truth. Brexit has divided us and far right doctrine has shaped the whole Brexit business. Just consider some of the comments on this page and others. Sheesh! They certainly sound like fascists to me.

  10. Say no to Americanisation! Say no to doublethink and newspeak. Say no to Putin's puppet! Down with New Fascism.

  11.  @CaptainPlanetsBallBag . We know exactly what you are.

  12. @Amanda Hughes. Corbyn is older but fitter. He'd smack Boris down. As he will in the next GE. Though Boris may well have eaten himself by then. He does seem to like the taste of his own feet.

  13. The fake diamond geezeer may be in a spot of bovver. With any luck.

  14. Amazing how unacceptable the truth is these days.

  15. My family is much the same and my going on the People's Vote march did not go down that well. The worst thing for me is how leavers dismiss every bit of negative information as fearmongering. It's like they've been programmed into unquestioning belief. Crazy days.

  16. The far right want to tar all BLM and ANTIFA supporters as anarchists, but it's just a convenient way of dismissing a legitimate argument and rightful protest. And they'd rather ignore the fact that far right gangs have themselves looted and started fires.

  17. Who do you work for?

  18.  @MrMrsmijj  What do you do?

  19. I had no idea who Owen Jones was before this. But I gotta say, I like the cut of his jib.

  20.  @emm_arr . The funny thing is that the Brexiters believe Boris. LOL. He was a remainer till the Tories drew lots. And as mayor he promised that council tax and TFL fares would not rise. Both did. He promised that ticket offices would not close whilst he was mayor. They did. He wasted millions on a bridge that was never built and an airport made out of mud. Boris is big on bullshit but slim on substance. Brexit will be the same I expect.

  21. "We must have strong borders!" Except in Ireland. "We demand sovereignty!" Except when we want to be hypocritical. "We won't accept unelected bureaucrats!"  Except if they're called Dominic Cummings. Can any Brexiter explain this?

  22. And the climate deniers still laugh and turn the other way.

  23.  hater gater . Yes, there are cycles of hot and cool periods, but the present spike (100 years) is directly correlated to our industrial age. The data is as clear as day. And it's better to listen to experts who know what they are talking about rather than people who only believe they do. Argue with the data rather than me. https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/

  24. ​ @11Cassiopeia . Trump's legal team has presented zero evidence and not a single state has reported fraudulent voting. Go check.

  25.  @chrissutton9860  . No. Populism is just unethical politicians saying the dumb things that dumb people like to hear. Trump is a populist and thinks that nuking hurricanes is a good idea. Bolsonaro postures and grins whilst the Amazon burns.

  26. Both are just bluster and bullshit.

  27. "We are all Brexiteers now." Who are you trying to kid? What a load of.

  28. He was born in working class area. Did well at school. Won a scholarship. And went to the top of his profession. The likes of Mogg and Boris are just born into power. "Property magnet" ROFL.

  29. ​Then why is Farage an MEP? Tilbrook case was rejected by the way. He has appealed but I wouldn't hold your breath.

  30.  Mark Gable . People voted based upon the arguments made at the time, as they do in every election. But they were also influenced by Vote Leave's marketing blitz. Turkey joining the EU. £350 million a week for the NHS, etc. And Vote Leave clearly thought that SCL (Cambridge Analytica) were worth the investment as they paid them a lot of money. Who are you trying to kid here?
    4
  31.  Mark Gable . Oh, the actual company that Vote Leave hired was called AIQ. Facebook were paid over£2million to carry Vote Leave slogans in the two weeks before the referendum. And all targeted at voters who could be influenced. This is the nature of AIQ's business, and why Facebook was fined $5 billion. This is not democracy. It's programming. (Did you see what I did there?)

  32. Paedo tastes and far rightism often go together.

  33. I would say that Mr Trump represents everything that is wrong with the western world. And when it comes to memes, the president has turned out plenty of his own. But they're merely abstract notions that settle in gullible minds. MAGA for instance. What does it really mean? And how will it be achieved in practical terms? The balloon will probably have less hot air than the man himself.

  34.  @Daniel-oz5dm . And they're also trying to convince us that we're not divided, and that all "the people" want Brexit. All they have left now is bullshit.
    4
  35. The believers keep grinning and cheering with thier eyes closed. Yellowhammer, Ireland, our car industry, WTO tarriffs. All just details to be ignored. Let's just hope that Parliament prevails. But if we hit the wall it will be wake up call to us all. Even the believers.

  36. Well done Channel4. Keep shining the torch. This is going to get real interesting when one of them breaks ranks and blows the whistle. Can't wait.

  37.  Albert Pike . Do you want t explain that for US? "Don't tell him Pike!"

  38.  @gladifly I don't remember seeing this written on the side of a bus. Why have a job and home when you can be penniless and miserable: Vote Stupid:
    4
  39.  @gladifly  “Over time, if we left the EU, it seems likely that we would mostly eliminate manufacturing ." Patrick Minford 2016. "We should all listen to Patrick Minford." Jacob Rees Mogg. How comes they didn't put it on the side of the bus? How come they had to hide this?
    4
  40.  @gladifly  We certainly won't be now. You asked "Which companies are leaving because of brexit? There you go. And all explained by Mr Mogg's own expert. Seriously, what companies would welcome going from tariff free trade to WTF? And just to clarify. This isn't really about Brexit. It's about honesty. And Vote Leave should have explained clearly that leaving the EU would come at a price.

  41. Corbyn has utterly outmanoeuvred Boris in four days. Johnson has no majority. His no deal has been derailed. His election gambit has failed. And on top of that he's had to expel senior members of his own party. Even his own brother has bailed. And his entire future rides on him somehow producing a reasonable deal with a practical alternative to the backstop. I just can't see it.

  42.  @ibrstellar1080  Including WEFORM.

  43.  @jamesrosejr33 . Have you seen Darkest Hour? It's like the scene where Churchill rouses parliament to stand against the fascist tide, only in reverse. The enemy is coming from the west this time though and Boris will get off a plane and wave his pants.
    4
  44.  @StevioGaming1 . My dad called Churchill a warmonger. But at least he saw Hitler for the fucking lunatic he was and wasn't prepared to sell out. (Like many Tories were at the time) It was a coalition government that got us through the war by the way, and perhaps we need one now. The Tories have made a right pigs ear of it so far.
    4
  45. And the backstop was OUR proposal to the EU. Now Boris is saying that it jeopardises the GFA. WHAT?
    4
  46. The referendum was not a green light for a no-deal. There were several different versions of a potential Brexit, and no-deal was not one of them.

  47. Is "Snowflake" an American expression? Why is the Brexit issue suddenly interesting to American right wingers? Or should that be whingers? considering just how inept and laughable their man has proved to be.

  48. Like how to pay off porn stars or make meaningless deals with North Korea? I can't see Theresa requiring any of Trump's particular skill set.
    4
  49. The Korea "Deal" was little more than a handshake and a selfie. I'm only surprised that trump did not wave a piece of paper and declare "Peace in our time." But you are as much entitled to your opinion as I am. Though I believe that great leaders unite and inspire their nations. (Churchill, Truman, JFK etc) Is America united?

  50. Trump told his supporters to try voting twice. He put one of his mob in to run the postal service. And we all know why. Now he wants to stop counting the votes he doesn't like. Trumpism just doesn't fit with the truth. And it clearly doesn't fit with democracy.
