Off Topic The Politics Thread

[Goldhawk-Road]

Has the northern island issue been a major stumbling block? Yes.. did the U.K. government know this would be a problem? Of course they did… who wrote the agreement? Oh that’ll be the U.K.

It’s really that simple. I ask a company to build me a new house with garden.. they say yes and send me a contract to sign. It becomes apparent, the plot of land the company owned didn’t have room for a garden…they tel me I can’t have a garden and it’s my fault for asking for the garden I wanted.. I should just accept a window box.

This is getting beyond crazy if a party put through a contract to another party knowing a fundamental is incorrect.. which is the case here that company is liable.

I applaud the loyalty but this blindness to the clear and obvious is just getting surreal.

I cannot believe you're comparing the complexities of Northern Ireland's political and economic situation with a bloke building a house

A bit like a Prime Minister talking about Peppa Pig in a speech to the CBI.

The majority in NI are perfectly happy with the way the protocol is working, it's only the bonkers DUP that don't like it. NI is prospering in comparison to other regions, second only to London.

There's huge unrest and tension over the Protocol. It's more than the DUP

Yes, you've just compared Will's post to Boris Johnson's garble about Peppa Pig. Fully agree.

No, I was poking fun at you.

I am simplifying it to try and explain as it is a fundamental to the agreement and the U.K. bullshitted …and yet you’re still trying to blame the Eu…

I know our government lied, you know they lied, as I’ve explained on an unbelievably simplistic fashion it is fundamental to the agreement.. yet you continue to trivialise it.

It'll be the Labour-led coalition.

Ah, right. No chance of them ever getting my vote. Would that coalition be led my Mr Integrity himself?

 

[Willhoops]

Like I’ve said you either don’t understand the importance of the northern island issue, which a simplistic example would benefit or you’re being disingenuous

 

[Uber_Hoop]

Can you imagine a Labour-led coalition? It would be bloody hilarious!

Rayner would have to become PM, because Sir Kier would have to resign as he’s pledged not take the UK back into the Uber-lobby Club, and Wee Jimmy Krankie would be her Nick Clegg, simultaneously working to get the UK back into Da Bloc and her fellow Sweaties out of the UK. Presumably there’d have to be a role for Ms Lucas of Brighton, maybe Dept of Energy, and she could oversee the resumption of fracking, the culling of all those farting cows and the harnessing of David Lammy to a turbine to increase wind power generation.

I’d ****ing **** my trollies watching all of that unfold.

Jeez tell us something we didn’t know

The EU doesn't need to punish us (when did they say they would, by the way?), we're punishing ourselves.

Blocked? It was going through legal process, look what happens when due process isn’t followed.

Can you provide examples of the lies that came straight from the EU negotiators as you say they have a record for it so you should be able to roll a couple off the top of your head?

They aren’t punishing anyone there’s a mutually beneficial alliance of nations. If an alliance has a number of benefits they are going to be removed if you leave the group.

You might not care, America for one .. as others are as well will. This massive failure to adhere to what is a business agreement that the U.K. wrote demonstrates the U.K. isn’t trustworthy and will obtain a reputation as such. Do you think that organisations that have a reputation for being untrustworthy thrive?

Sadly a stiff upper lip and bull dog spirit won’t change that.

Thought that might wind up the cabal a bit.
Wills, your memory of what happened after the referendum and all the blocking that went on, to such an extent that government couldn't operate, is disturbingly poor.

Not sure you know what a cabal is, Col.

col the difference was that was legal challenge… what the government has done over NI is suicidal business practice or mass incompetence. I got bored of the challenges tbh. However they were well within legal boundaries to do so… if the Torys tried the **** they’re pulling now to any project I was working on I’d be straight on to the legal team suing the **** outta them.

Okey dokey.
I'm enjoying this.

I know exactly what it is and it perfectly describes our collection of left thinking posters on here.

Someone tell the stupid old **** what a cabal is.

 

[Willhoops]

Haha I stay stuff and in response people demonstrate clearly the bunch I voted for are corrupt, incompetent liars who take their voters for mugs… yeah I don’t get it either
