The EU debate - Part III

The guy from the Mail is particularly odious.

 

He really is. He was totally flummoxed by the question of why it was relevant to report that one judge was married to a man but not to report that the other two were married to women. His response was pretty much "the people need to know".

 

He's a complete ****. I very very rarely (if ever) say this, but I hope he dies a horrible death. Evil ****.

 

He will have got a standing ovation from Pete.

 

I think PNP made the point earlier, but hasn't it got to the point where certain elements of the U.K. press need reining in?

I realise that they'll scream suppression of freedom of the press, etc. But their rabble rousing headlines and highly inflammatory and selective opinions are creating a danger of real problems. Just look at the death threats being hurled around by the moron brigade today.

If they can't discharge their responsibilities to not deliberately incite the likes of today's events, then they should have that freedom taken away until they can.

 

Standing??...

 

In both brexit and the US election coverage of both sides, the media have disgraced themselves and will be tainted for a long time.

A scan of independent sites for news items, with a check for accuracy, and then comparing it to coverage on main stream media shows the true scale of the bias.

 

Pete probably wrote the article.

 

When you realise that the chair of the main press complaint body is Paul Dacre then it becomes clear how they get away with it.

Never cracked one though, have you? Not deliberately anyway.

 

So you think from 13 October 2016 to 2 November 2016 the judges did nothing and then came to the decision in the 30 minutes on 3 November 2016?

 

The Labour Party is "the fastest on record of increasing its membership" and the fastest on record of losing voters.

 

Nobody is underestimating the Labour Party. The voters certainly think they are useless.

 

Join the Labour Party now! Membership going cheap while MPs last. Get your own "I am a loony" badge.

 

May has been consistent in her comments around not "showing her hand", maybe she (and her advisors) think that if parliament cannot agree on the terms for exit, then it weakens any argument when dealing with Europe.

 

I think Steven was right when he said that she's definitely trying to avoid having to put the whole thing in front of parliament before article 50.. She wants to present it as a fait accompli when there's no time left and no choice but to accept or leave the EU with no agreement in place.

She leads a badly divided party and is desperately trying to keep both camps happy.

I sincerely hope, and expect that her appeal to The Supreme Court will be thrown out. In which case we will almost certainly get a far more sensible (sorry Tubby!) Brexit. Not the loony version that the likes of Fox, Davis, Redwood, etc are trying to force through.

 

Anti-Brexit parties would win 150 fewer seats than pro-Leave parties at a general election, analysis suggests

Absolute pointless garbage.

As if a GE would be fought on one single issue such as Brexit.
