Brexit and the Consequences

I don’t think you can get anyone more principled with an “unshakeable belief that his vision for the country and it’s citizens is the correct one” than Jeremy Corbyn. That doesn’t make his beliefs and the course he wants to take the right ones, of course. Same with JRM, even if he does have those qualities.

Good job then that it's ultimately "the people" who will decide who has the correct vision, like they did re the referendum vote. So when the dust settles after the victor emerges, Corbyn can emigrate to China. (y)
We could organise a whip round to ensure it happens.:LOL:

China's a bit too capitalist for Jezza. What about a spell in the Gulag to see him right, while that nice Mr McDonnell takes over? :idea:

When the dust settles? Whilst we all pontificate about the near future, what will happen when we eventually must move onto other subjects, what will “the people” think of next?
 
Ah yes, the lovely Mr McDonnell, who goes out of his way to defend indefensible comments made previously by Labour activists against Esther Mcvey.

You and quite a few others really mixing up politics with the national interest of the country here.

Same as with refugee or migrants crises from outside of EU.


fwiw Brexit is purely a national issues not one of politics or non-eu migration. Hence the divide from both sides of the political spectrum that we see.

TMs problem is largely to do with disunity as Labour's was in the past.

The next leader should be one who can unite the party under a single vision. Sadly for that to happen some heads will have to roll. With the votes split 50/50 that's going to be difficult for any party. Here Labour and LibDems have key advantage.

Brexiters lack vision. Thus, just from core principal in approach have no credibility other than a very slim protest vote from disenfranchised British losers - on the peripherals of the country and periphery of the EU state. Other than regional grants and subsidies there really is no solution to their Northern gripes. Have to be honest here. There is the Northern Powerhouse project but I really feel that needs LibDems to drive it through with any probability of success.

Few politicians have latched on to this dissenting voice and now in their lust for power have really damaged the UK for next decade or more.


Then there are older - hard to say wiser folk who yearn for the good old days which weren't really that good to be honest. Churchill and Thatcher keeps coming up. Really? Both I recall lead during bad times. To be fair to Churchill he only ever knew war and had to step in as politicians messed up. Thatcher brought about 3m + unemployed homes being possessed and industries shut down so to say they were good times incorrect. Some peeps are off their rocker to think so from my perspective. There is a certain element of 'bloody mindedness" in people who are happy to sacrifice stuff as long as they profit and others bear the burden. Somehow capitalism is able to justify all this in financial reward.

Once again: issue is not political or related to migrants or refugees. EU countries do not have refugee status citizens.


People need to take a step back and look exactly what is being done to the country. Disunity, division and squabling whilst country goes down the pan. Virtually civil war without the casualties. Not good at all. :cry::cry::cry:

No solution in sight either. :rolleyes:


One last point - some talk of the establishment. Well majority of the political elite are Etonites, rich kids of well to do families with not much experience of real world other than privilage. Difficult for them to come up with anything new outside of the worldly experience.

Very sad indeed. Country is well and truly up the Khyber. :cry::cry::cry:

Yeah, it's like a revolving door, round and round we go ad infinitum. Same issues over again, just the players that change.

More of the same has been rejected cos leave won both the debate and the vote. This issue is done and dusted, in the same way that the Scottish independence issue is done and dusted. The proof if you like, is that Sturgeon has lost 30% of her MP's, so the voters have sent her a clear message. Get on with the day job or at the next election you are history.

Same as with refugee or migrants crises from outside of EU.

I have no idea what point is being made here!

All I can tell you is that the EU doesn't have secure external borders. Everyone in the world knows this and that's why there is a refugee and migrant crisis within Europe. There are a growing number of countries lead by us that are not happy with the way the EU is headed. We are off, make no mistake about that, but some of those countries that wish to stay members are in open defiance of their EU masters. They have seen what happened in Germany, which btw still does not have an agreed government, and they have concluded that such chaos will not happen in their own countries. Some internal borders resemble scenes last seen in WW2, with razor wire fences and armed guards patrolling 24/7.
Free movement indeed

No it's clearly an international issue. Trump got elected in the US on the very same issues. The politicians have totally failed to deal with people's concerns voiced over many decades and they are now paying the price.

TMs problem is largely to do with disunity as Labour's was in the past.

TM's problem is that she is only a half believer in Brexit. If she starts to waver on her promises to implement a proper Brexit, then she will be history in very short order. People like JRM are being very patient in their endeavors to hold the PM's feet to the fire. This patience will not last forever and especially if the establishment go against the will of the people. Powder keg just waiting for an ignition source.

Quote of the week :LOL: disunity as Labour's was in the past :LOL:
So Labour are a unified force under Corbyn and Mc Donnell are they :LOL::LOL::LOL:
There are no words, just :LOL::LOL::LOL:

Nobody is buying into you're misinformed rhetoric. LibDems have zero credibility which is why they got wrung out at the last election. There were only Two parties who campaigned to stay in the EU and both got decimated at the last election. Lib Dems and SNP.

Brexiters lack vision. Thus, just from core principal in approach have no credibility other than a very slim protest vote from disenfranchised British losers - on the peripherals of the country and periphery of the EU state.

Nope, Brexiteers are being let down by weak leadership. People sent the message on how they see our country and it's up to the politicians to make it happen. This can only be done by a leader with clear vision and a plan that people will buy in to. Anything else will fail. Regeneration of the North is long overdue.

Look, us Brexiteers are not backing down. We will see this through regardless. There is zero chance that we will let our politicians off the hook. Brexit means Brexit. (y)

Yes, and it’s that attitude that leads to the obdurate refusal to consider any evidence or view that is In anyway negative to that fixation as your lot strive to silence any legitimate criticism and the views of half our citizens and most of parliament.

If the hard exit case is so strong then why aren’t JRM and co prepared to debate it but, no, better just to decry any evidence a la “treasury has fiddled the figures” and parrot that last bastion of the weak “the people have spoken”.

Talk about bully boys.

Not only are the turkeys insisting on their democratic right to vote for Christmas but are proudly motivated by a desire to c0ck a snook at their own representatives and set precedent???:p

The "hard/soft" topic generates much heat but not a lot of useful outcome. As a Brexiteer I just want my democratic rights back - we could have had those while still remaining, but the EU and Cameron between them screwed that up didn't they?

The 12 principles of the Lancaster House speech are an excellent basis for Brexit but while this Prime Minister & cabinet talks the talk they are severely hobbled as pedestrians. The most important of these principles is the one regarding democracy: "taking control of our own laws". By doing that we automatically enable ourselves to follow the other principles of Lancaster House - many of which go against the ingrained and apparently unchangeable principles of the EU. So be it.

There is no backing down or surrender. There is only BAU. How one progresses forward post advisory referendum that is the debate.

Sturgeon, SNP and Scotland is another one of your off-side tangents leading off to outer orbit. Are you able to debate any one topic?

Wrt refugee migrant crises you say you have no idea what I'm talking about and then clearly identify that EU is about free movement of labour which is correct. My point remains that this is a distinct and different discussion point to refugees and migrants from outside of the EU.

Do you not see how the Brexiters are dragging in points of issue which have no bearing on topic of discussion?

Yet you insist "it is clearly an international issue" and talk about Trump and the US. Honestly, level of Brexit self indulgence is trully remarkable. No body gives hoot what the UK thinks or does much like the US. Without been rude from my perspective your posts is a clear indication of delirium inside of your great mind.

UK and US may indeed be a special case and imo a basket case where much like Barcelona or the Catalonians, we witness Catalonia demanding independence from Spain whilst joining the EU as an independent state. Logic of the argument beggars belief. :LOL::LOL::LOL: much like the UK demanding a placebo based independence from the EU only to join US at the hip and be buggered by Trump and Dump delivering God only knows what???

You say TM is only a half believer. Well she represents the whole country and that's a credit to her having a balanced cabinet. Sadly people of your ilk who bark on about democracy and parliament have a weak hold on what that means. As for her cabinet full of weasels they exemplify the worst in politicians power hungry to play God.


Key and VERY POSITIVE point about Labour is that they have consistently stated their approach, would be one of maintaining jobs and carving a productive role for the UK. Go and ask the young jobless and homeless Brit sleeping rough on the streets what he thinks of Brexit? There is now clear evidence, IDS benefit reform is leading to new unexpected outcomes.

You should also consider that growth in rough sleepers is just the pole end of the spectrum. Number of families and people living off food banks, going hungry so they can feed their children or even children malnourished are all on the increase.

You are witnessing loss of jobs, skewed distribution of income, prohibitive utility costs, sky high transport costs, rising government debt, braking down of social fabric, British giants going bust including Northampton Council and somehow Brexit is the cure and nothing else matters as much as sovereignty which in the same breath you all prepare to trample all over. You know I am left speechless at the blind fury of all you great so called patriots.

Brexit means Brexit, strong and stable leadership indeed the only party who can negotiate the 'Best' deal what ever that is remains a mystery. Here is my forecast for Brexit. Soon, EU will be paying us to leave. :LOL::LOL::LOL:

TM just hang on in there a little longer. ;)

Moggie's full of him self and really other than blabbering hasn't been under much scrutiny yet. The no nonsense jibberish he speaks without accounting for any of this tosh is typical of peeps with privilege. Do these people ever have to answer or explain them selves. Of course not they don't need to. Why should they. Look we've been here before it's obvious. He goes on to say TM has his full support and backing. LOL. Man is indeed full of him self.

I liked the way Amber Rudd has come to the defence of the Civil Service.
Ms Rudd said backbencher Jacob Rees-Mogg was "wrong" to accuse the Treasury of "fiddling the figures" with forecasts showing the UK would be worse off outside the EU.

Also, Robert Preston show this morning was really good. Well worth listening to this if you have the time.

What evidence? The remain camp put out reams of fantasy figures in their scare and fear campaign, none of which turned out to be true. Yet now you expect us to believe that these same discredited organisations have something credible to offer. Well they don't do they! If the remain side want to be taken seriously, then they need to quit harping on siting dubious organisations and sources as their evidence. IMF classic example of a discredited organisation lead by a convicted crook. Yes she was found guilty as charged, but miraculously received no punishment. Funny that isn't it ! Sounds like one rule for us one rule for them !

Remains position is one of managed decline along side the EU. The irrefutable proof is the long term trend of the EU. I've covered all of this previously. EU share of world trade is in continuous decline. US was on the same path, but they now have Trump. Last time these sorts of characters turned up was Maggie and Reagan where the rot was stopped in it's tracks and everything took off after the turnaround period. We need such a leader in the UK. The last thing we need is "more of the same".

smini made the point that the Lancaster house speech was the framework that May set out in order to achieve the kind of Brexit we voted for. Even after the botched election, May was the one the country voted for to deliver that Brexit vision. JRM is very prepared to have the debate and to hold our govt to account to ensure that we get what we voted for. If May thinks she can backslide away from her vote winning position, then I fully expect she will be ousted and someone like JRM will take over.

And your side didn’t parade a load of porkies and half truths then.? Both sides were as bad as each other. If your lot believe the figures are false, then disprove them. It’s no argument just to shout foul. Of course you don’t brook argument, I forgot. Bully boys all.

In case you deliberately missed the point, i'll make it for you again.

EU member countries are not playing by the agreed rules laid down by Brussels, whereby each country must accept free movement of people and also their allocation of refugees.

In the UK we have had wages cut or frozen or reduced hrs, (amounts to the same thing, a pay cut) coupled with a deluge of unskilled labour from within the EU to ensure that wages are kept down. So if the street sleepers and food bank users want to take aim, then the legitimate target is in fact the govt, the crony corporation and the establishment who allowed all this nonsense to take place.

By continuing with free movement, people like you would be condemning our poorest to more of the same. Not to mention all the other drains on resources and shortage of services.

Well for starters, the misinformation was most definitely one sided. Some of it was borderline hysterical because they knew the game was up :LOL:

We don't need to disprove economic projections.

Economic projections are not definitive proof of what will happen. As has been proven beyond all doubt after the referendum vote.

And what's with all this bully boy nonsense. The fact that I can and will argue my case does not make me or people like me "bully boys" The fact that remainers have lost the debate is not my problem, they will just have to deal with it.

Yes, it was one-sided - yours :LOL:

Then if they are meaningless why comment on them and call them "fiddled". If they are wrong, then show where. And what's been proved beyond all doubt - haven't you been listening to Carney? Course you haven't, you just write him off as one of the establishment and pooh, pooh anything he says. Don't produce a contrary argument though, or demonstrate where he is wrong.

I don't regard you as a bully boy, cv, just your hard line leaders and the more vociferous Brexiteers who just shout down legitimate comment and opinion with slogans.
 
In case you deliberately missed the point, i'll make it for you again.

I agree with you here and others. I do not see refugee crises or migrants from outside as part of Brexit issue. I wouldn't allow them in either. As discussed to death these are consequences of messed up US foreign policy which the UK has been a poodle for around yanks ankles. ie 9/11, Iraq, Syria and soon to be Iran. Arab spring uprising and destabilisation of stable governments ie Libya.

Do you not see Brexiters really diluting and mixing up the whole freedom of movement debate. In fact many other countries would absolutely support UK stance if she only knew how to lead instead of moaning like the Eurosceptics since the evolution of the EU. Brexiters really need to get a grip on the fundamentals of the debate rather than follow UKIP lead with a silly poster representing a deceitful lie about refugees flooding into Britain.

You are confused here again and almost sound like a closet Corbyn supporter. If you want to see wages rising join a union or the labour party. You really have got your marbles mixed up. Look at nurse and doctor numbers. Along with drop in numbers daft Tories have cut burseries for training places. Remarkable stupidity. Low pay, high training fees, long hours, stressful conditions and public servants like teachers as well just leaving the profession. Brexit going to resolve all that by adding to a skilled shortage crises adn you think a rise in wages suddenly magically going to get the numbers available without any training - which takes years. Numbers definitely not your strong point.

By continuing with free movement, people like you would be condemning our poorest to more of the same. Not to mention all the other drains on resources and shortage of services.

As mentioned before even the HS2 project requires 10,000 skilled engineers and workers and UK simply doesn't have the skills sets. Manufacturing is non-existent in the UK. Bring on PFI and it'll probably cost 10x more.


Moggie keeps touting 135bn Brexit boom without a shred of evidence.
Boris has upped aid to the NHS 450m wihout a shred of evidence in fact contrary to all evidence and his been told off.

Madness. Crazy hocus pocus stuff. Quite laughable really. :LOL::LOL::LOL:
