  1. Nope. The threat is court action if Johnson attempts to prorogue Parliament. Surely you understand that it is undemocratic to completely bypass democratically elected representatives? Do you know what it means to prorogue Parliament?
  2. She is what I’d term as a non-functional. Unable to deal with everyday normal situations or think flexibly but highly intelligent. Ive got friends like that. people with doctorates in niche fields of bioscience for example, but who are unable to plan a shopping trip or buy a bus ticket.
  3. How many do you think he’d sell in Sheff? Ask that question, answer it in your own mind, and then think about relaxing with a chocolate McShake. Then.....jog on
  4. Of course Mel. Because the EU, despite the accusations of being a neoliberal vehicle, is not nearly neoliberal enough for the elites. When Farage talks about elites he is railing at elites(and that is admittedly what they are) who understand about what would happen if the brakes were released. What he wants is to be the elite, and impose on the rest of us a new elite that has zero qualms about the impact of what he wants on ordinary people. No amount of cheeky pints of ale and prolific toking on Bensons can disguise that reality. His job is to screw us over. And leave us in the dust.
  5. Great news. There are better jobs out there for the people impacted.
  6. No it wouldn’t be bad. It is the only silver lining I can think of.
  7. Only a very small tweak is needed to the timetable to make this more reasonable. If the last train was at say midnight or 1am then who could seriously complain?Services like that have wider economic benefits. How much are we losing as a city because we’re treated effectively like a minor town? You can get a train from Leeds to Manchester well after midnight on Saturday night, and the same going the other way. We we have a very rough deal.
  8. I’ve been to Glastonbury several times over the last 30 years and it’s always been the same. It’s all on private land which is restored back to a working farm within weeks of the end of the festival. Even when I first went the environment angle was a massive aspect of it and that has never changed. Even the smallest details like avoiding pee-ing into hedgerows is covered because of the damage that causes. If you think about it logically then based on your argument the site would be an ecological wasteland because of all the damage caused. It’s very much the opposite. Don’t believe everything you read in the Faily Mail. No you can’t because you’ve probably never been to a big festival. You don’t understand how they operate.
  9. It won’t work. The only way it will is if they invent a new hate target. There aren’t many to use. Remainers could be a target but any concerted action against us will tear the country to shreds. We’re more than half the country now. They could try and prorogue parliament or maybe try other authoritative measures but then that kills their core argument over sovereignty. They've run out of road. Even the most brainwashed Leave voter won’t be able to deny the pre and post Brexit differences once companies leave in their droves, and the U.K. starts to fragment. He is the only seriously pro-Brexit leader out of May, Hunt and Johnson. He eclipses all of them in terms of his hatred of the EU and yet nobody wants to talk about that.
  10. They are actually competing with each other to prove who is the most hung ho about destroying British businesses. Note this isn’t about which of them can do the most damage to big corporates (they will leave or at least reduce their U.K. presence and many have got those plans well advanced) but they are actually going head to head about which of them is most relaxed about taking down British SMEs This is as low as it could get. They are complete idiots He will but he won’t get away with it. Not a chance
  11. No it wouldn’t. But it would also destroy the next in line because it can’t work. Populism never works because slogans and rhetoric never translate into practicable solutions. Note the way Tories use Venezuela to attack Corbyn without any realisation that they are now effectively a populist party peddling arguably what is also a populist ideology. Sure, the EU is flawed but history is going to judge the U.K. membership as being as good as it could ever get.
  12. The way this works is the candidates have to please that demographic in order to get elected. What happens after, well that demographic gets a lot less important doesn’t it. Its revoke A50 or a long extension. There aren’t any other options. No deal will be the end of the Tories, and Labour
  13. Because that is exactly what it is. We are a very polarised society. People polarise on anything and everything is treated as a binary issue. Yes people might be pleasant and nice to you when they disagree but essentially it is all about being on one side or other of a debate. Try and sit in the middle and it blows peoples’ minds. They can’t cope. Is this a uniquely British thing?
  14. I still don’t understand fully why the majority of people in deprived leave voting areas think leaving the EU is going to help them. They get interviewed often enough but when they do it’s like they are reading straight off their Facebook feed or that day’s gutter press. That is not a misrepresentation. They simply don’t have thoughts of their own and repeat stuff mindlessly. We’ve had it with the EU, with the disabled, with benefits claimants. Rinse and repeat. People are simply being manipulated
  15. The problem is if we leave then what happens next. There is not one leaver who has ever offered a credible explanation of what it really means for the U.K. Not a single one.
  16. Two of my kids have been in the uni system in the EU. Fees are either free or very low compared to the U.K., depending where you go. The most we have paid was 3,500 euro for a year. Even accommodation is way cheaper. For a uni down south (in London) we were quoted £6,700 for a 38 week academic year. One of my kids is paying under 500 euro a month for their own pad. Now get this, my Leave-voting sister and her husband have a daughter approaching 18 who now desperately wants to go to another EU country to study. Guess what.....Brexit. The sad thing is they don’t feel sorry and haven’t changed their views on Brexit even though it is going to hit them hard financially and limits the options for their kids. Its insanity
  17. That is because it is an apologist for the Tory party. No genuine lefty would use such cliche-ridden language
  18. Possibly he was off his tits on something during that interview. They will just want that one to go away. I’m starting to think he is mentally ill. We can’t let this guy have the nuclear launch codes.
  19. Having watched the interview where Johnson discusses making model buses out of wine boxes it is possible he: 1. Has no inner voice or filter and his just spewing forth a stream of consciousness 2. He’s high as a kite on illicit drugs or powerful prescription medication He can’t run our country
  20. Nope. We don’t want a white supremacist running our country You can stuff that up your backside Sideways
  21. They did call the police, and they gave the recording to the police. They even knocked on the door three times. Here’s the thing. You are totally allowed to record if noise from the neighbours leads you to believe a crime is in progress. You can even record as part of reporting noise nuisance to the council. Lets be straight about it, it was the privacy of the neighbours that was invaded.
  22. It suits him doesn’t it because they are focusing on that rather than his policies. Which is very convenient for him because he has no policies.
  23. Of course it’s public spirited. If somebody thought you were being attacked in your property would you not want them to record it? Seriously?
  24. Johnson is utterly unfit to be PM. Watched a couple of his interviews today and he is talking what can only be described as complete and utter crap. His government would last a matter of weeks. There’s no hope he could hold it together. None at all.
