I doubt, after reading this thread and seeing the shambles in parliament, anyone could be under any illusion... he is absolutely right!

I think he wants them to keep their jobs, their homes, their rights, and (what is currently left of) their public services.  My view too. The last thing I want deep down is for people to be damaged through their own stupidity. I do suspect they will need to have a taste of what they’ve done to make them understand but it would be better to avoid that.  Lets be honest when it all goes wrong then the likes of Rees-Mogg are going to say ‘it’s what you wanted’ Edited January 12, 2019 by I1L2T3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I really don't get what you are on about, beyond trying to paint a picture of normal people being violent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
