I did mention this yesterday. Tory MP’s are getting P’d with The EU behaviour. Don’t worry Watford this little island will be okay.

Oh my god our resident activist is on a yoghurt knitting exercise. Stop talking utter tosh.
Many people have been knighted for doing nothing, in fact I noticed you avoided the failures of Oliver Robbins and his collusion’s with EU officials? Funny that? You are also against Nigel Farage receiving one. Who by the way is probably the most influential political figure in this country in the last 20 years. You say they are many influential figures over the years that haven’t received one... name one that has been more influential than him?
You are also trying to turn this debate in to something to do with race which it nothing to do with. Throw in two white names and if they are hypocritical has Hamilton then I will say the same.
Silly lefty.

Cameron seems like the obvious one. Corbyn too. Neither positive influences in the end but influences nonetheless. Probably Blair too within that arbitrary timeframe.

Don’t go full UKIP moron ffs.

Brexit is done Ellers, get over it, we have a divorce...stop worrying about what the ex-wife is doing and get on with your/our own life.

Today is a bright new Brexitty day, you are right our little sovereign island will be OK. Just ignore the noisy neighbour and do get on with it, just like we were told too, and we were told everything is back in our power...so lets just move on

Corbyn! That anti-Semitic muppet who calls terrorists ‘Brothers’? I don’t think so.
Blair! That war criminal who stitched up our troops by sending them into an unnecessary war ill equipped. Then lied about it after? I don’t think so.
Cameron is the best of the 3 but what did he do? Went over to the EU for a simple request, came back cap in hand, ( I bet they are kicking themselves now). called a referendum supported the losing side then quit? Not yet but maybe in the future.
Like him or not you won’t find a more influential political figure in the last 20 years.
They did this on LBC where many well known political bods discussed this. They all said it was Farage.

Oh well if they discussed it on LBC I take it all back and defer to the gammonati.

Sorry Beth I am replying to a post on the politics thread. Is it now a crime to discuss Brexit on here?

You’ve spent most of this year telling people who dare point out the negative consequences to “move on”.

It was actually an interesting show. They mentioned some of your suggestions but they seemed a bit toxic with the public. Farage is like Marmite. He does have a few good points. I doubt I would ever vote for a party of his though.

I did. Move on from the old arguments of leave/remain. I think you will find that my posts have been of recent events (border tw2ts). Besides I was replying to a post of yours which was also current I don’t see why Beth needed to post what she did? Strange.

Bloody hell! I am shocked!
The Guardian ( through gritted teeth) has run a positive story!

Silly lefty.

personal insults tut tut, please explain where I have made it about race? I just wonder what the objections are to Hamilton you’ve already admitted that the tax thing is a deliberate attempt to mislead, ive then demonstrated that it can’t be his activism, as others are activists, unless you are against anti racism which I can’t believe so what is it? And why are people lying about their reasons unless their reasons are unsavoury?

Ive said with Farage time will tell, as to whether he is a force for good or not, he has some controversial moments as I’ve demonstrated with being successfully sued for telling porkies about an anti hate group. Maybe hold back till the dust has settled? Not jump in image if they’d given one to Blair and then found out about certain war crimes.

lbc accepted source well as long as it’s in certain presenters shows

It was Iain Dale who is one of the most even sided presenters on that station... actually around all media. It wasn’t that self-opinionated tw2t James O Brian if that’s what you are saying.

Anyone surprised by that response? Anyone? I mentioned no names. There are more than two presenters on LBC by the way

Iain Dale is one of the most neutral people in the entire media. Tremendous.

Can’t be the same Iain Dale who was a member of the Conservative party and was convicted for assault can it?

No problem if there's consultation and a majority want it but there's been none. I live in a road that is part of a LTN, before the closures it was a quiet side road but now is a rat run for traffic trying to dodge huge jams on the main roads nearby. Pollution on the main roads has increased and other roads become jammed at busy times, the only plan the council had was that traffic would reduce as people became so fed up with the congestion but before this lockdown it was as bad as ever.

Emergency services throughout London have been severely affected by both congestion and various road closures needing long detours, if you don't live in London you really have little idea of how f*cked up traffic is throughout...

i live in zone 4 but i have heard there are more closures than usual in central london. Good to hear about stuff like this first hand to give a better insight to the problem

I only know 2 as there was a change around. There is also that Nick ferriair fella who seems decent enough. I don’t can’t remember any others as I don5 listen much now.

You still have come back with a response to your Corbyn and Blair post. Moved on again I see?
