woodview   10 #4081 Posted March 13, 2019 Seems odd that Blairs '97 election victory is described as a landslide, when only 13.5 million voted for him. A vote that subsequently took us to war, and all that followed. Yet , 4 million more, the 17.5 million who voted for brexit isn't enough now .  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

That an out of touch establishment elite is seeking to overturn it shames our political system and reduces it to the level of a banana republic.  Love Socialism - Hate Brussels.

Barnier, Tusk, Verhofstadt... they’ve had the same line in this ‘negotiation’ from day one, now they repeat it they are ‘anti-British’? Why?

The number of 65+ leave votes was in the region of 5.8m. Over one thousand of them die every day.  Demograhics are completely against leave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

woodview   10 #4092 Posted March 14, 2019 Get ready for the next step: UK : Hi, eu, can we extend a50? EU : No. UK : Ok, so parliament has rejected leaving with no deal, so only option is revoke a50.  Nice work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
