Bloody hell any group associated to leave is somehow dodgy (Westmonster) now. What next Brexit central? <doh>
It's becoming sooooooo wrong to want to leave.

No, anything associated with Arron Banks is dodgy. I wouldn’t give him the ego boost of thinking that he played a significant role in Brexit.
 
Nope I see Gilets everywhere I go in France at the moment fantastic dedication imo not given up one bit ... to be admired imo

Anti Macron mainly so don’t try and borrow that for any anti EU crap

Remember Paris is it’s own country within a country same as London is here

To be honest AB, Putin or any of the others didn't influence me in making my decision. The EU did.

Load of ****e you didn’t even know what the EU was 2 years ago you still don’t
You just started posting anything you read and then brainwashed yourself
If you had put forward just one solution or a idea of a post Brexit UK then you would of got credibility imo

2 years of nothing but name calling and obsession
 
Are you trying to defend him?
Why would you think that
There are already laws against fgm which are very rarely used
Only one successful prosecution I think yet I read that there are 5000+ cases of it per year
The damage Seen daily in nhs emergency rooms
If no ones going to go after the parents and butchers with the laws we have why do you think making more will help

So that's a yes then.
 
Well no it's not
How could you defend him
By the sounds of it he should have been removed years ago
What should happen is you use the existing laws
Fgm is illegal isn't it
Bang a few people away or send them home
Apparently some people are returning home to their war torn countries to get it done
Can't be that unsafe
 
It's a problem up here too, this is in the news today...

Medics in Scotland's biggest cities have treated victims of female genital mutilation (FGM) on more than 230 occasions in the past two years.

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said it had identified women with FGM on at least 138 occasions in 2017 and 2018.

In NHS Lothian, which covers Edinburgh, 93 occasions were noted

The Gilets Jaunes are a real mixed bunch. Some are anti EU, some want lower taxes, some want a new constitution, some want better bus services. But you’ve got to love the French, taking their concerns onto the streets.

To emphasise your point G, there are videos going around of a massive brawl in Lyon yesterday between large groups of ‘Gilets Jaunes’ protesters, said to be opposing Leftwing/Rightwing factions.
The whole situation over there is becoming pretty chaotic.

Jeremy Corbyn says Labour could still back second referendum if Brexit deal rejected
https://www.itv.com/news/2019-02-09...erendum-remains-open-if-brexit-deal-rejected/

Corbyn has finally arrived at a coherent position for Labour, and one that is particularly challenging for May. Labour will support her deal if she bends/removes some of her red lines- including committing to a permanent Customs Union - and this would almost certainly gain majority support in Parliament. Failing that, if she can't get her deal through, he is calling for a General Election. Assuming that won't happen, the final fall-back is a further referendum. Of course she could reject all of these and allow us to crash out with no deal, but that would be a disaster for the country and for the Tories at the next election. Her current plan is to run the clock down to the point where it's her deal or no deal, frightening MPs into supporting her, but Corbyn's stance is going make it much more difficult for her to succeed with that.
