Most MP’s want a customs union. The democratic thing would be to put that to the people and give parliament the mandate to do that. Or not.

It is simplistic I agree. The reason being it was never that complicated in the first place. All she had to do was listen to the general consensus. There’s no need for long paragraphs of explanations. The problem is one very fine singular. Her, that’s her red lines ignoring a consensus. The...

No one had a gun to her head making her draw the red lines against the general consensus that she did. I think in this case it’s very clear that one person is to blame.

If she had have took the time and trouble to take stock and find out general consensus in and out of parliament she wouldn’t have drawn the red lines she did and we wouldn’t be here now. It’s as simple as that.

Yes. People like me. By that you mean people who are just trying to get on with their lives despite this. You seem to think people like me have some sort of power to influence this.

You The problem is the general consensus has never been approached. There’s one in Parliament and all indications are that there’s the same one with the public. May in stumbling over herself to be popular tried to play up to the vocal side of leave whether that be in her own party, parliament...

Not having a go but I hear a lot of people saying that that they hadn’t realised what a pigs ear it would be or words to that effect and I’m always flabbergasted by it. Can I ask what ever made you think it would be any different to how it’s turned out?

He hasn’t turned anything around overnight. If you know as much about economics as you think you do you would understand that. It takes years to turn a country around from the recession Obama inherited. Trump is reaping the rewards from the work of those who went before him, nothing else.

It does make me laugh when Trump and his followers go on about the issues of immigration. Try telling that to a Native American.

I see Trumps disciples have been on the march. Row over US teens taunting Native American Nice bunch.

Was he convicted of anything? Standard defence isn’t it?

You get a time period to turn yourself in. 24 hours IIRC. So long as you present yourself to the police in that period you won’t get charged.

Wholly inaccurate as well. We have a divided population and surprise surprise a divided parliament. The guy is a dipshit. They should test the consensus of parliament ie a customs union, with the population. Unity may at last be possible. He doesn’t want that though, he is a cheerleader for...

No it didn’t. It’s sold as that but that isn’t what happened. They never rejected the Lisbon treaty, they rejected the initial change to their constitution to integrate the Lisbon treaty. The serving government at the time tried to take it as an opportunity to power grab from the constitution...

Looks like it’s going to be fun and games in Parliament tomorrow. Downing Street warns MPs not to block Brexit

Yep. Another Roman Empire moment.

Not sure why we’d reinstate something we abolished long before we joined the EU anyway.

Does the Isle of Man count? I believe they still have the death penalty.

I sense another Roman Empire/Holy Roman Empire moment brewing.

Renationalising Britain's railways – EU law not a barrier An interesting article on the subject of rail nationalisation in the EU. The Irony is the driving factor behind the EU not favouring although clearly not blocking nationalisation of railways is apparently the British model of taking the...
