UK Politics Thread

Hey Sky what do you think of that speech?

Back to the liberal black shirts I am amazed at what they done, all along they been calling for a second referendum and now decide stuff democracy cancel Brexit. This is not democracy which clearly they have abandoned what next from these black shirts.

Rather short sighted of Guy, Since the EU is technically an empire too.
And what happens to ALL empires eventually?
Nations on the other hand, tend to survive because they are bound by much more than just their politicians, law makers and bankers.
Take those three things away from the EU and what's left exactly?

If the prime minister's team and the government machine of a small country can't agree happily on arrangements for a press conference, then it doesn't exactly feel like anyone is in the mood to edge a little bit closer to a Brexit deal.

"Podiumgate", as it has inevitably been labelled, immediately gave a pantomime distraction - complete with a booing crowd - to Monday's developments in the bigger Brexit story.

It's no secret that the Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel held the views that he was so happy to express.

He has gladly - and candidly - expressed on many occasions his sadness that the UK voted to leave, and his frustration with how UK governments have handled it so far.

But if what happened was an expression of the state of diplomacy between the UK and EU member states, then don't hold your breath for a breakthrough in understanding between the two sides that could lead us all to a new version of a Brexit deal. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49722762

What a farce to behold, I hear that the Google search engine crashed due to the huge demand from people trying to find out who Bettel is and where Luxembourg is or if it even exists

I think Steed will back me up on this, but we could use a 'No confidence' check box on our next GE ballot papers.

[Jimbuna]

'NONE OF THE ABOVE' would do for me.

Of course but I would go further giving people a mid term vote on the government and if no confidence wins this triggers a general election and if the confidence vote wins then the government goes full term.

Lib Dem Leader Jo Swinson really is a joke. Didn't like the referendum result. Admits that if a 2nd referendum favours Brexit she will ignore it. This doesn't seem Liberal or Democratic

I may, once again been thinking wrong as I do a lot.

1. The only problem in the deal is this backstop the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland.

2. Northern Ireland is a part of Great Britain.

What if the other members of Great Britain "released" Northern Ireland

So it became a country of its own and no more a member of Great Britain and can decide if they want to be a state of their own and a member of EU and/or join Ireland

^ You;re talking about the breakup of the Union and that would need, yes you guessed it...another separate referendum.

Thank you Jim

I forgot that in my last post

The citizens in Northern Ireland has to vote in a referendum if they want to leave the Union or not.

Once again the mighty STEED gets it right.

Jo Swinson will be rebranding the Liberal logo to a Jackboot. Black shirts for all and snazzy armbands.

That's right Markus, anyone wanting to leave the Union can only do so if conducting it through a referendum and the PM/Westminster is the one who must first give permission.

The Polish ambassador to the UK has urged Poles to “seriously consider returning to your homeland” after Brexit.https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/brexi...id=mailsignout

Why?

"The rapidly growing economy of our country creates more and more opportunities for citizens for development and good living conditions in the country.

The lack of the above is precisely why they left their country in the first place.

It looks like there is a calm right now

A oppressive calm before the awaited hurricane who are heading your way.
