  1. Fair enough Sam, and believe me, I disliked Heath quite a bit. But I also have to admit that the country has experienced a long period of stability. The 70s were no picnic and I never want to see such austerity again. My fear is that certain powers want Brexit for their own ends, and the welfare of this country is of no importance to them. That aside, I really hope that Brexit works out for us all, I still have my doubts though.

  2.  @genericusername3212 . Had May thrown out Boris for not following the whip he would have been ineligible to run as leader. You win support by making a convincing argument, not by demanding obedience.

  3.  @ThePereubu1710 . I'm not going to disagree with you in that politics is broken. But I was just stating a fact. The majority of working class people who voted Leave really did do it out of desperation. I am working class so I talk with them every day. No one understood the single market or sovereignty. They still don't. It was just a case of thinking they had nothing to lose and Xing the silly box. Sadly they do have something to lose though and I expect that Boris and co will try to take it from them.

  4. "Who propaganda will win." ??? What the heck are you trying to say? Please ignore if you are a bot.

  5.  @blackphilip8936 . What a load of! You go on about the "Elites" not seeing it coming but what about the likes of Rees-Mogg? How elite is he? Or Raab or Hannan for that matter. Then you have the corporate press like the Sun and Mail. They have been pushing Brexit since day one. In fact, it's a devious elite that want Brexit, and they've tricked a lot of people into believing their bullshit.

  6. Like a kipper?

  7. Because he represents the leftish viewpoint. It's all part of the democratic process really. The clever response is to attack the viewpoint rather than the man. So why not formulate a reasoned criticism and try again.

  8. Trump is the king of fake. But his downfall will be very real. And I'm really looking forward to it.

  9. Is bearing false witness and adultery ok?

  10.  @terrynolan5831 . So you like leaders who lie and cheat. Don't be surprised then when they cheat you.

  11. Doesn't take a genius to work out how unsuitable Trump is to hold power. Dimwits don't seem to care though.

  12. Has it got all the votes that Donnie Dimwit needed to win? Oh well, he can always try in 2024. He will be 78 and utterly discredited though.

  13.  @greeny202ab . Not true. The Benn act requires that a letter requesting an extension be sent if the deal is not accepted by parliament. The extension would still have to be agreed to by the EU but I think Boris would be keen on this as no dealing before a GE would be bad for him. Yellowhammer reality won't be very popular.

  14. How about some common sense.

  15. Boles is not a turncoat, he just has principles and refused go along with something he knows is wrong.

  16. Everyone knows? What?
    2
  17. This only says that you desperately want Rayner to have done something wrong but have zero facts to point at. That goes for every Tory poster on this page.
    2
  18.  @jaymcaaa , But legally non binding.
    2
  19. The stupid thing is that it's really obvious now. Someone in power clearly wants to quell any objective debate on Banks or Brexit. I hope GCHQ are watching.
    2
  20. How do you know where Rayner was spending her time? And what law stops you from having a primary address and spending time elsewhere?

  21. Spot on Vinay. Definitely on the same wavelength. But we support different teams. LOL.

  22. Remainers warned about a no deal. Leavers just said the EU would fold and that they needed us more than we needed them. All bollox basically. It's just crazy how you people want to rewrite reality to justify a bad Brexit.

  23.  @achandler6583 . Wow. You know what the Queen wants.

  24. Sounds like you want to cancel him.

  25. How is the EU going to takeover the world. The clue is in the title. EUROPEAN UNION.

  26.  BirdsofPrey1956 . What about the evidence? What about NASA's research? https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/

  27.  hater gater . NASA are literally rocket scientists. They deal in facts and data. They don't invent ice loss statistics any more than they invent orbital mechanics.

  28. But you should still be concerned with manipulation of the democratic process.
    2
  29. A good point Jenny, but where are we going to? I sincerely hope that Brexit works out for our country, but there are absolutely no guarantees. And what really concerns me is the motivation of outside powers. I fear they want Brexit for an entirely different reason to people like yourself. This odious company have connections to the ultra wealthy #breitbart and that concerns me even more.

  30. But Honda management have already voiced concerns regarding Brexit. And both Toyota and Nissan have followed suit. (Google it) But as I already said, if respected economists are unsure of the consequences of Brexit how can we be? Beyond this, the only relevant question is...Was the Brexit vote manipulated? And if so then Why?

  31. One is on a fool's errand, the other an arrant fool.

  32. You may despise them. But then believers and truth just don't go together. Trump, Brexit, climate change, rights, NHS. Who needs facts when you can believe claptrap.
    2
  33.  @greeny202ab . Simple evaluation. Is Boris's statement consistent or at odds with the truth? Boris clearly made the statement, so why hate Channel 4 simply for reporting a fact? That's the problem with populist thinking. You have to evaluate everything against acceptable doctrine rather than objective reality. No wonder you people are confused.

  34. A lame one trick pony at that.
    2
  35. Why resort to insults? dab makes a perfectly fair point. And the nature of debate is to offer arguments and opinions. Some are more transparent than others though. It always comes down to angle and ideology. Some look for the truth while others do everything they can to bury it. They must have something to hide I guess.

  36. There must be some dark secrets here. Enough to bring down the government?

  37. Who trusts those on social media who clearly have an agenda?

  38. Just making sure to get Mail voters onside. Sad fuckers.

  39.  @FightCollective . Nah. The EU is the Galactic Republic with libertarian values and equality. They also take in refugees from other planets. The Charter of Fundamental Human Rights clearly marks them as the good guys. Farage is like Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. A dark sinister force corrupting the council from within. Populism is the dark side.
    2
  40.  @barryryan7777 . This is just absurd conspiracy guff with no substance whatsoever. The Charter of Fundamental Human Rights is hardly Mein Kampf. The majority of Germans abhor Nazism. The French and Belgians and Dutch and Polish were all on the receiving end of Nazism. One of the purposes of the EU is to ensure that base nationalistic politics never again turn Europe into a battlefield.
    2
  41.  @barryryan7777 . Nazism is a vile doctrine based upon nationalism and racial purity. Show me where the EU promotes either.
    2
  42.  @barryryan7777 . And?
    2
  43. I take it you like being lied to.

  44.  @robduncan599 . I think that Casey is a bit disturbed. Too much alt-wrong propaganda I expect.
    2
  45. Certainly not the Sun and Mail. They may as well be state controlled propaganda. Boris has had a nightmare week. Easily the most calamitous of any new PM in living memory. But all we see is pictures of Corbyn as a chicken when he's utterly outmanoeuvred Boris and taken the moral high ground.
    2
  46.  @sprobablycancr4457 . I still find it astonishing that the Tories even put him in charge. This ridiculous spectacle was as predictable as an eclipse. I guess they gambled on him being popular with the people. They must regret it now though. I've never voted Conservative in my life but treating elder statesman in this way is just cruel.

  47.  To Err is Huma . What are you trying to say? And why the big spaces?
    2
  48.  To Err is Huma . Do you know Nairda? He/she uses a very similar technique to your own. Oh, in case you missed it, Vote Leave have withdrawn their appeal against the electoral commission. An admission of guilt really. But you no doubt have some evasive and shallow excuse.

  49. A pity that democracy wasn't. The referendum should have been run again after the all the lies, cheating and Facebook programming.

  50. A lot of us will be finished if we get lumbered with Boris for five years.
