Off Topic The Politics Thread

Just listened to some of the SNP conference. Sturgeon so full of threats, she reminded me of the Harry Enfield East End character, Angry Frank. Sentences all began...if Westminster think we will...if Boris thinks we're going to... if Jacob Rees Mogg believes he can...If Scotland is taken out of the EU... etc

I thought she was going to shout, "'ere, Boris, naaaaaawwwwoooo..."

A very angry speech, before telling conference what kind and fair-minded people the nationalists are!

 

Surely Brexit isn’t the only issue voters are basing decisions on in these dreary northern dives?

If you’re a Labour MP and you think (know) that any form of Brexit is going to disproportionately **** off your poorest constituents, what do you do? Short term save yourself or long term help them?

 

You do what you believe is best for your constituents and for your country. The heroic 21 who stood up to the tory dictatorship should be applauded.

 

You’d like to think so. Probably risk having your head kicked in though.

 

The SNP are a horrid bunch intent on causing problems in Westminster while going on a journey of doom for Scotland. I heard one thing she said about expecting Westminster to grant her a indyref 2 before the end of the year. I wonder what deals she will make with the Chukkas and Benns of this world?

 

The tories would bung someone else to do that, the DUP will do anything if the money is right

 

David Davis: ERG will support Brexit deal.

 

Good conference by SNP. It's good to know that there are some out there that wont be dictated to!

 

Amazes me how many Irish experts we have on here when they couldn't even work out a leave/ Remain vote? Comical

 

Alex Salmond is going on criminal trial early next year for multiple rape and sexual assaults. If he goes down, that could be a huge spoke in Indyref2's wheels

 

Make that Scottish as well.

 

if they gave the English the opportunity to vote with the Scots for their Independence it be a landslide victory

 

I heard a Scottish expert on LBC who said the SNP would lose if there was one. Most don't want another vote...i know how they feel.

 

And condemn us to voting for the Tories like lemmings forever. The Scots are a welcome handbrake if nothing else.

 

That should tell you plenty about it.

 

If there's a Brexit deal, I doubt the SNP would win. The irony is, Sturgeon's best hope for Scottish independence is a No Deal on Brexit

 

David Davis:

 

Come on Watford I know you want a deal.

 

Hes best just keeping shtum! Poor old Mrs May, was it just because she was a woman do you reckon? Reminds me of one of my bets I could have cashed out last week. I left it until it got worse and worse

 

David Davis thinks this new deal will please enough people to get through parliament.
Funnily on another note many in the EU were saying recently that it stops no deal. I get impression that they buckled at the end.
