BREXIT

[mtread]

I wish to announce......... that I will not be standing as a candidate for leader of the Conservative Party.

The sooner we are out the better, do what the voters voted for as the result for the referendum.
Even the no deal will be a result then the country can get on rebuilding Great Britain,,and build a wall between Scotland and England again.

And do not forget that the outcome of the EU elections is Labour becoming a REMAIN party.


Thanks Nige

...and their subsequent loss of over 5 million Labour voters who voted Leave in the EU referendum.


Yep thanks Nige

Indeed.  You would not vote Green if you fundamentally opposed the EU.  The Green Party is a pro EU party – no question.

25% of Green Party voters opted for Leave in the 2016 EU referendum apparently

That's obviously a big fat lie. It's a well known fact (Known by at least 2 people) that every single person who voted Green, only voted for them because they are anti Brexit, they don't actually give a toss about the environment and the big move to Green parties throughout Europe is entirely Brexit related too by the way.

Just a couple of Light Ales in the Hand and Racquet 

That's a positive blow-out compared with the 3 steaming hot mugs of chicory essence No Change UK shared leaning up against Fred's Pie Stall in the market square

But of course like a great many companies one country they will not be considering right now is the UK.
BREXIT will destroy manufactering in the UK.

Err, no, that just shows areas, not the number of people.

Yes I was aware of that Grahamm . I just liked the look of it and knew that you wouldn't .

I don't give a damn about the "look" of it. It just shows nothing helpful or useful to back up your claims.

[Grahamm]

Oh and PS, the number of people who signed the petition Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU - 6,085,326

'The number of people who signed the petition'...that's a bold claim claim given the findings of exactly who, or rather what, has 'voted', and how many times, in previous online petitions

Ah, yes, the Leave voters who were *so* confident in their "victory" that they had to try to sabotage the petition.

Which is why the Petition Site put in place robust methods to ensure that fake votes and bots and invalid foreign vote etc etc were screened out.

By the way, remind us how many people signed the "Leave" petition.

I'll stick to the only count that truly matters thanks Grahamm. The election system where only real, registered and eligible voters participate

Yeah, about that... UK government may face court action after EU citizens denied vote

[Grahamm]

  Minus the Green vote, which could be as much down to David Attenborough and the fact that the environmental crisis is never out of the news at the moment, as it is Brexit and it's 4,697,611 against 5,802,996.

Err, WTF? The Green Party has been in favour of Remain from the start!!

[Grahamm]

I wish to announce......... that I will not be standing as a candidate for leader of the Conservative Party.

I'm not standing and neither is my wife!

[YamFazFan]

By the way, remind us how many people signed the "Leave" petition.

As already indicated I've no confidence in petitions, only official elections

[YamFazFan]

Yeah, about that... UK government may face court action after EU citizens denied vote

If there has been an injustice regarding voter  eligibility then I sincerely hope that it's corrected. I guess we'll just have to wait and see .


It doesn't shake my faith in the democratic system though Grahamm. Does it you?.

[YamFazFan]

Very true of the party, but not all of their voters. As mentioned previously, 25% voted 'Leave' in the 2016 EU referendum.

I heard this story this morning on the radio and it was a Polish caller and I understood that it was EU nationals wanting to vote for parties in their own country but were just wanting to do it from this one. The caller went on to explain that they made a few calls to Poland and got it all sorted.

Why are people so determined to wreck our economy.  Why are so many ordinary people in England and Wales desperate to be poorer?

[Frosties]

I respect everybody's views. I just don't happen to agree with them. And I can do that without actually calling them pricks
Carlisle - I smell no biscuits either. Mind you in a Premier Inn all I can smell is harpic


So, the country is split (more or less) in half between hard Brexit and hard Remain. How do we get out of this mess?

Implying that someone is a prick on a face to face basis is still grounds for a fucking slap in my book - but you'd avoid that wouldn't you....

You clearly don't understand. I don't call anybody a prick, unless I know them very well

I think you're right, it was for voting in their own country, but not sure they all could get it resolved with 'a few calls'. What's clear was that there was a cock up due to the short notice.

Are you heading up to Scotland mtread?.

it is being portrayed that they are being prevented to vote for one of the remain parties when they were not even trying to vote for any uk party.

[Grahamm]

Very true of the party, but not all of their voters. As mentioned previously, 25% voted 'Leave' in the 2016 EU referendum.

So what? How someone voted previously doesn't mean that they will vote the same way next time (unless you're a rabid "my Party right or wrong" supporter).

And you don't know that they have changed their minds either.


However when you were adding up the various parties EU Parliament election votes into Remain V Leave totals the other day, you'd put every single Green voter into 'Remain'

Oh and apparently around 30% of Liberal Democrat supporters voted Leave in 2016, but you've put 100% of them in your 'Remain' tally too
