Ditto and I know the feeling.... I think my first and last GE vote was for Blair in 97 oops. (it seemed like a good idea at the time)
anyway its all hung parliaments from here on.

If Theresa May's Brexit deal gets through Parliament, Labour wants it to be put to a referendum - with remaining in the EU as the other option.

I am genuinely surprised at the 180 degree hypocritical turn old Steptoe (well known for decades to be anti-EU) is proposing to take.

Somewhere in the region of 63% of his vote in the northern Labour heartlands voted to leave and now he runs the risk of alienating many of them.

Probably made easier by his realisation he'll never become PM but no chance of any public admittance.

Peer pressure, problem for him is he's quite alone on his side of the fence, just has a few oddballs like George Galloway for company :O:.
Labour voters & MPs = predominately cosmopolitan progressives,
cosmopolitan progressives = predominately Remainers.

But I've never doubted Mr 'impartial on Brexit' Citizen smith was a closet brexiteer, just not quite for the same set of reasons a Farage & co. Probably mostly because the EU is bed fellows with all the dodgy Banker types. But if he ever becomes PM he will quickly realize that they can punch him alot harder than he can punch them.

Sorry I forgot the EU was run by Saints :03:
Your article is kind of non applicable, in that I didn't support the Leave campaign either, so i'm not going to try and defend them.
Also you do realize an anti leave Guardian article has only marginally more weight than an Anti Remain Daily Mail article. Right?.

I don't wish to argue about it anymore, I made my position clear enough earlier, if we disagree - well, it happens.

Catfish 02-26-19 12:57 PM

I'd rather believe the Guardian, but we can agree to .. at least that the EU is not run by saints :haha:
We'll have to let the vatican run this show :oops:

For once I tend to agree with him.
