General Chat

Dominic Cummings, Rollo!

There's a blast from the past here. As soon as I read what the papers wrote about him, his name rang a bell.

Don't believe everything you read about how tough he was (or probably is) by the way. :-S

Unfortunately as our referendums are not binding those who broke the law by overspending, were just given a slap on the wrist instead of being locked up.

In Switzerland, where a referendum is binding, a recent result was rejected because voters had been given the wrong information before the vote.

"Boris Johnson has promised to deliver Brexit by October 31,

>>> he claims that there is a 1000/1 chance of leaving without a deal, <<<

how a smooth exit is going to be achieved is unclear, remember the EU have no appetite to re-open negotiations and parliamentary numbers are stacked against all tabled solutions. He has claimed that free trade will continue, even in the case of leaving without a deal, by falling back on article 24 of GATT. "

Liam Fox was sacked for pointing out that there is no such thing as an instant trade deal under Gatt24.

The Leave side were very emphatic during the referendum campaign that the UK would not leave without a deal. What is now being piloted by the Junta is so far away from the Referendum that it is an outright lie to say that a NoDeal brexit is what was voted for.

blah blah piffwaffle flibertygibbet

Here we go again....Blah Blah/

I had a chat with Jo Swinson a couple of weeks ago. I rather like her soft Scottish burr. She has an excellent sense of humour and a great deal of political nous. Just what the UK needs.

Is it really so difficult to choose between the pifflepaffle of the Eton boating song, Facebook renegades, sour neo Marxists and good ol' British common sense?

fwiw her clothes fit properly too.

I,for one, am going to have a problem with the new Lib Dem leader(Jo Swinson/Swinton?) voice !!! :-(

Politicians & baby diapers should be changed frequently & for the same reason. (Mark Twain).

Oh I know only too well who Ms Patel is and who her paymasters were. She, in my opinion, shouldn’t be within 100 miles of any government!

Re Priti Patel

"Priti Patel, who was forced to resign from Theresa May’s government after revelations she had conducted secret meetings with the Israeli government, has been brought back into the Cabinet by new prime minister Boris Johnson.

Ms Patel, an ardent Leave campaigner will serve as home secretary, replacing Sajid Javid, who in turn will become Chancellor.

Supporters of Mr Johnson reportedly said he would appoint a “record number” of ethnic minority politicians and boost the number of women attending as full members of the Cabinet.

But Ms Patel’s promotion will raise eyebrows due to the manner of her departure from government less than two years ago, which involved a plan to funnel UK foreign aid money to the Israeli army, while she was international development secretary.

Accused of effectively running her own foreign policy in the Middle East she was forced to fly back early from an African trip for her dismissal in November 2017. "

If I could I would go and live in the Isle of Man, tomorrow or sooner lol.

I "think" he will be seen to become dependant on President Donald Tr-rump .

Very worrying that the PM thought that the Isle of Man was in the EU, and even more so that he ascribed a false rule about kippers, to the EU

How can we have any confidence in his Brexit plans.

"It is 1000-1 that the EU won't renegotiate "the Deal".
Well , they won't.
Next.
Boris "We are leaving on 31 October come what may"
EU "We have arranged another extension for you. How long would you like?"

Pretti (not very Pattels) book which she co-authored is redolent with every kind of error. Doubt anyone here bothered to read it though preferring the DM/DailyBlue front page.

:-\

Sue
Think he must have meant Pritti Patel not Patti Patel..

certainly not sticking up for him but he is always mking mistakes or C & Ping.

Rollo who is Patti Pattel?

Asking for a friend :-D :-D :-D

I'd love to live long enough to witness a respected PM leaving office on a high.

This is the manifesto of the junta.

Just as with Corbyn's neo marxist ideas it is totally incompatible with EU liberal democracy. Thus step one is to ease the UK out of the EU before inflicting their crack pot ideas.

The junta is not interested in democracy and the sooner everybody gets their heads around the basic fact the better - starting ith the commenteriat.

cry the beloved country

Who will people blame when they can't blame the EU for everything?

What has just happened is a mainly extra parliamentary coup led by Dominic Cummings. Boris is just the front man he is totally incapable of running anything let alone the UK.

In Parliament the go to people will be Dominic Raab, Patti Pattel and Michael Gove. Not the kind of people you want to meet your mum.

Their big problem is the numbers. Neither NoDeal or the EU WA can pass as things stand. However there are ways and means.

Corbyn is already a backnumber written off by his own party. If there is a September / October election and Corbyn remains temp head it is the LibDems who will benefit not the Tories. Starmer, Thornberry favorites.

There are 30 Tory seats which could elect a Lib Dem with a swing of less than 1%. Starting of course wuth Amber Rudd.

There will be blood.

Rollo,

I may have said give T May a chance but no bugger has a chance when all the mp's of all parties are going to vote NO to Brexit.
Then the 17.4 million people who voted to leave the EU know that the mp's are only bloody well looking after their own pockets and they couldn't give a shit about the people who voted the mp's in,
