The best one I have heard for a while came from a friend of my wifes last night in the pub.

She said (from nowhere as Brexit wasn't being discussed) and I quote: "I have always loved the royal family, but I am starting to go off them now as they have't ome out and openly supported Brexit".

Genius

I have a mate who voted brexit because he believes immigration is diluting our traditions, next sentence from him was that the Royal family should be abolished. My response, they’re a British tradition.

Really? OK then. If they’re the only people watching the BBC why didn’t that demographic vote remain as a majority? Either they’re not the only people watching the BBC or the BBC isn’t the rabid remainers that rabid leavers promote it to be.

You even do it with something not directly linked with Brexit. Look at your BBC related comments. This whole thread has become a bigger joke than before when it was already a joke.

The Saxons were also German, do you think outside influences are a new phenomenon in the U.K.? It’s positively what’s shaped this country and traditions. Our whole culture is a mix of what people have brought here when invading, many of those things are also things that said people adopted from other countries that they invaded. And also things we’ve taken from other cultures when we’ve invaded their countries. Or did you think Yorkshire Tea is grown somewhere near Leeds.

Someone calculated that in the last ( 15 or 20 years- I cannot remember exactly)) in 83% of occasions in the Council we voted with the majority. And were outvoted less times than Germany who, according to some idiots, run the show. Where do you get your „facts“? Farage? The Express, Sun, Telegraph or Mail?

Who is going to get the result they wanted exactly? Those that voted leave expecting a hard brexit? Those that voted leave expecting a Canada brexit? Those that voted leave expecting a Canada+ Brexit? Those that voted leave expecting a chequers plan brexit? Those that voted leave expecting a Norway brexit? They all knew what they voted for apparently so it seems as many leavers are not going to get the result they wanted as remainers.

I love the way you keep saying twisting the truth as if you’ve ever put any meaning behind it. It’s empty rhetoric.

So Corbyn says.....the pro BBC relays.

Corbyn talks Brexit with EU's Barnier

But look at what the British public really think. These are the top comments. Not bad for a pro remain outlet

27 Sept 2018 09:43

Barnier does not want a deal because he want’s the punish the UK so that no other country will dare to vote against the corrupt, failed, political nightmare that the EU has become.

He’s the problem with his dogmatic EU rhetoric – he’s the most powerful person in Europe and yet no one voted for him.

Corbyn has betrayed Labour Leave voters, especially in the northern British cities by keeping ‘Remain’ as an option. No longer a conviction politician, this is utterly disgraceful.

Why do Labour think they would do any better at striking a deal with the EU?

The only way they will get a deal is if they give in to every EU demand; And any fool can get a deal if you agree to everything the other side demands and in return abandon all your demands.

Corbyn travels to the heart of darkness in Brussels as a humble supplicant to sell out the working class of the UK, Blair and the metropolitan elites will be happy
The EU does NOT negotiate. Instead, it simply says “what is your plan” and “Your plan is insufficient” and continues this charade until they get surrender.
Corbyn will be a “class traitor” if he does

Who is this dope to issue warnings!! A much much bigger national disaster would be him in government. When you have his Labour MPs, who represent their constituents, advocating social disorder and strikes it proves just how unfit this opposition party is to govern – a total disgrace! This current labour bunch would drag us down to being a third world country in next to no time.

If 'Uncle Joe' Corbyn and the rest of the loony Marxists ever get into power the EU quite rightly would be glad to see the back of the UK. Having worked in several former communist block countries and seeing the appalling state they were in when the Soviet Union fell, take my word for it he would be a disaster for us also!

In this farce that is Brexit it's no surprise that Theresa May who has to implement leaving is a Remainer and Jeremy Corbyn who has to oppose it is a Leaver.

Could we be in a more ridiculous position?

Didn’t Barnier say over a year ago that the EU-Canada deal is the only deal that will work with Brexit? I see it’s Brexit hero BOJO’s “new” big idea this morning. No doubt his followers will be lapping it up even though it’s actually the idea of Barnier. If we go for that we’ve literally had no say in what shape Brexit takes. Everything will be exactly as the EU says it will be from the divorce bill to the final deal. Taking back control etc.

I don't actually think he has many followers, the smarter candidates for succession to the Tory party leadership will be using him as a battering ram to knock over May when the time is right, I reckon their next leader will be either Rees-Mogg or Javid.

Just like most knew remain would win first time. But some of us won a lot of money as we used common sense instead of wishful thinking.

The method of funding needs a radical rethink. The licence fee raises around £3.7bilion.

Apparently 10% of criminal cases in England are about licence fee evasion.
TV LICENCE SHAME: 1 in 3 dragged to court for not paying BBC fee have cases thrown out

I say abolish the licence and take BBC funding out of central funds and slap a higher level of VAT or other tax on connective devices to compensate.

You could be right but that’s not to say that he doesn’t have a popular following. Not necessarily from within the Tory party core membership but a lot of the public that voted leave certainly like him. And why wouldn’t they, he’s telling them what they want to hear even if he isn’t 100% genuine. Rees Mogg has ruled himself out of a leadership competition everytime it’s mentioned so he’ll probably throw his name in the hat. Who will win? Who knows. My guess is we’ll find out not long after the Tory conference. Especially if it’s as much as a disaster as the last one.
