    Nope not accepted that
    The primary view for Brexit was too many European people coming here and nicking jobs plus a false claim that we put be able to spend a silly figure on the NHS because it was written on the side of a bus !

    They are still allowed to come and Ireland needs free movement
    As for the money this thing is going to cost billions and billions and it will cost the average person

    It’s a disaster imo

    You can turn that on it's head though can't you, Uber? The Tories perennially rape the poor so violently that people eventually decide that things have gone too far and kick them out in favour of a more equitable alternative.

    Isn't it amazing that free market supporters who want an economy based on lack of regulation or State intervention can suffer such collective amnesia. It was after all only 8-9 years ago. An alien version of David Attenborough would have a field day describing this unusal phenomenon of self-delusion

    Fact. It was that warped view of economics which led to traders gambling with our futures so that they could make a fast buck and banking institutions who were all up each other to the hilt at the time crashed plunging us all into financial crisis.

    Fact. It was not socialism which caused the crash because Brown was a free marketeer. Had gorgeous George Osborne been in charge of the economy during the golden Blair years he would have been congratulated and feted for the very same mistakes for which Brown is now being pilloried. What would his medicine at the time have been? 8 years of austerity hasn't solved anything. Would he have allowed the stricken banks to die? After all the market knows best, the State knows **** all and government's role should be to let be what will/should be. No he wouldn't. He would have sought to bail them out as Brown did and would not have acted differently at all. he would have been just as powerless as Brown and Darling were to stop the force of the free market in freefall.

    Come on guys. I remember what happened at the time and I'm sure you do too.

    It’s amazing the amount of people on here (on both sides), that know why the other side voted as they did and they know exactly what the future holds.
    Now if any of you know next weeks lottery numbers, I’d be forever grateful.

    Did you know, if you rearrange the letters in Jeremy Corbyn & add a few more, you can spell; terrorist loving, Jew hating, Anti-British, lying Marxist traitor who is peddling schoolboy policies to a deluded & naive minority who have no idea how the real world works

    ....Really? There was me thinking it was the middle classes that decide elections.

    To be fair though, Strolls, I’m no lover of the Tory Party either these days. I didn’t vote at the last General Election - a hangable offence to some, apparently - but to me a choice between toss and dross.

    eight murders in London this month and a hold-up on Putney Bridge that would make Dick Turpin blush. Feeling enriched?

    It did give me some satisfaction that it was the BBC's camera they were trying to steal on Putney Bridge. No doubt BBC News will report that the moped robbers were probably from broken homes

    Caroline Lucas was on Andrew Marr yesterday, complaining that the electorate was continually duped by self-seeking politicians, and only the Green Party deals honestly with voters

    Marr then turned to the Green's demand for a second referendum on Brexit, and was castigated by Lucas for his terminology. It is not a second referendum, said Lucas, it's "a people's poll"

    The irony was lost on her

    "no participation in the EU institutions and decision-making."... that's really being on the outside wouldn't you say?

    And you can blame everyone else... call them names 'traitors' and 'saboteurs'... but they are not in power... they are not in control of this and they didn't vote for this:

    It was Davis el al who said it was going to be a cake walk - it was Davis et al who drew all the red lines... and it was Davis et al who have capitulated at every point along the process - blame everyone else if you choose, but you voted for this... I blame you and the clusterfuck you voted for.

    It wasn’t all Ellers’ fault, Seagull. I had a hand in it too. That it animates you thus is but the icing on the flustercuck.
