If you started an arms struggle tomorrow, and bombed and shot and kneecapped innocent civilians, Corbyn and MacDonnell would be round to your house offering their support

Voters don't remember the savagery with which the IRA conducted it's campaign, or were born later and can't see back further than the Good Friday agreement.

We made friends with the Germans in the late 1940's - it didn't stop us hanging William Joyce

Should we of hung Willie Whitelaw for meeting up with the IRA or is that different ‘cos the meetings were in secret and no photos exist ?
 
****, just gone outside and two guys from the street are fighting over a parking space. I'm going to try calm them down but only talk to one of them and not the other. I just pray nobody takes a picture!

Unlike Labour and Blair who lied to us and got many people killed including British soldiers. And if you want to discuss this, You can speak to my partners friend whose husband was killed and left 2 young kids thanks to Blairs lies.

It's one thing for government to meet terrorists clandestinely to try to bring an end to violence. It's another when a back bencher gives active support to an armed struggle and honours the terrorists.

It's not my prediction, Col. You're playing the man instead of the ball. Wasn't it Rees Mogg who said it might take 50 years to see the benefits of Brexit?

We agree about economists, though. For every one that gets it right there'll be more than one who gets it wrong. What I can't seem to find is an economist who is willing to say that there will not be an economic downturn in the short term if we leave with no deal. Say for the first 15 years post-Brexit. Do you know of one? I'm looking for reasons to feel positive, when all I hear about the economy is Project Ostrich.

BTW - I am some kind of time traveller.

It's hilarious the way these things are portrayed by remainers.
The first 15 years of Brexit!!?
What a load of bollocks.
No one knows what might happen at home or worldwide in the near future to effect the economy after Brexit.
This kind of scaremongering insults people's intelligence.
(By the way, when I voted leave I realised that I may take a financial hit for a short while, but I voted on principle, not for monetary reasons. Having said that, I have enough faith in my country to believe that we will be fine no matter what kind of Brexit we get. I would certainly prefer a deal that is good for everyone, but no deal is better than a bad deal).

The whole country will have to bear the cost of your principles though, Col.

Don't be so sanctimonious. Just because you will be able to get by doesn't make it alright for those less well off.

"No Deal" IS a bad deal, BTW...
