I am sick to death with it all and it looks like this crap is going to go on pass Tuesday vote.


In response to David Lammy MP yes some what he said I agree but as norm with that lot at Westminster they don't tell all the truth. Both Labour and the Conservatives are guilty of using the NHS as some political point scoring ball, both sides are guilty of years of neglect and under funding.

I think the last line of your quote just about says it all Sky :yep:

Let's get this straight about Labour, they are not interested in getting into power to sort MayBot's Brexit mess out. All they are interested in is being in power and nothing more. True to say they are all like that but when Labour keeps banging on about fixing it you have to ask how? All the doors are shut and bolted so there is sod all they can do.

Blocking Brexit could lead to a surge in far-right extremism in the UK, a cabinet minister has said.

Transport Secretary Chris Grayling told the Daily Mail that not leaving the EU would cause the 17 million people who voted for Brexit to feel "cheated".

I voted leave and if we stay so be, both sides told massive lies and the end product is a bloody disgraceful mess. Better off staying in at least we know what we are up against. As for this surge of right wing yea sure what ever.

Conservative rebel Dominic Grieve has urged the prime minister to delay Brexit if her EU withdrawal deal is rejected by MPs next week.

Mr Grieve, who backs calls for another referendum, said she could remove the 29 March date from UK legislation and ask the EU for more time.

Cabinet ministers who oppose leaving the EU without a deal had a "duty to resign" if she refused to do so.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46840589
This is the guy who was sacked by Cameron when he was the PM and as far as I can ascertain represents a constituency that narrowly voted to leave the EU.

He should soon find himself persona non grata in his party and possibly face de-selection as well?

I'm beginning to think the end result will be a remain position.

A blast from the pass calls for a people's vote.

A failure to deliver Brexit would be "a catastrophic and unforgivable breach of trust in our democracy", Prime Minister Theresa May has warned.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46853689
Trust? I wasn't aware there was any remaining :hmmm:

STEED 01-13-19 07:57 AM

^Democracy!....You mean we put one of you lot into power and you go on to betray the voters.


The Sunday papers are full of Brexit and in my opinion they all point to one thing. Parliament is dysfunctional.

The government has made a fresh plea to MPs to get behind Theresa May's Brexit deal in Tuesday's crucial Commons vote.

I say stuff it all its failed the whole thing was treated as a joke so lets move on and forget it. Granted that's a lot of money down the drain and leave voters will be angry.


The whole thing has been a mess from start to right up to now and beyond.




REPORT COMING IN ON THE RADIO.....The EU is preparing to delay Brexit to July.

Could well be Sky...

If May loses the vote as predicted and expected I'm hoping a full list of which way each MP voted will be published so they can be held to account by the electorate for their actions. In particular those who vote against it despite their constituencies voting to leave.

They should be held further accountable for making it easier for the crazy gang to get the keys to No 10.

I am not posting links until Wednesday due to lots of "FAKE NEWS" about like Tory MP's are flocking to May to get the vote through.


Here is how I see it, May will be defeated if its a big one I can not see her lasting six months. If its a moderate defeat she will remain in power as damaged goods. And if its a minor defeat she will go on until she steps down shortly before the next general election.


In the first two cases parliament will do its upmost to remain in the EU. In the minor case take up the extension offer from the EU.

Jimbuna 01-14-19 12:48 PM

Watching the parliamentary debate this afternoon I got the impression in response to one of the questions she could well be gone by April :hmmm:

So old Jezzer is going for it by calling for a vote of no confidence in the government, is he aware the chances are not good. Anyway I'm hearing this will change British politics for the better. What a load of dribble, this shower will continual to walk over the voters. You work for them and don't forget it.

^^ Since Landrover and Jaguar belong to Tata Motors in India, maybe a shift of production to this country would be better? :03:

Seriously does anyone who rejects May's plan at least know what is written in it? Because from what i have to read no one has the faintest idea. Boris Johnson and those 'patriots' slam May for Ireland, i just wonder what they want to do instead? Get out Ireland of the EU by force? If those have their say it will be the end of the UK.

To win that vote he needs every member in his party plus every member of all the other opposition parties plus the ten DUP members to vote against the government.

Not gonna happen...simples.
