git-intae-thum Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 2 hours ago, oldbitterandgrumpy said: No, still don't get it. What Tory is going to approve what he said? The guy who wants to lead the 'Party of Business' says it's ok for companies to go tits up for an idealogical cause. Companies that have been started from scratch, found a niche, maybe depended on European trade, planned long term with their budgeting and expansion are now fair game to be sacrificed in order to shoehorn Brexit through by October? I just want someone to explain how a potential Tory PM can justify such comments. They are not the party of business. They are now evolving into the party of right wing nationalists trying to out brexit the Faragists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DublinMagyar Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Popular topic of conversation here in the leafy suburbs of Accrington, is the length of time it takes to get an appointment with a doctor or dentist. No prizes for guessing what gets blamed for that. One thing invariably overlooked is the fact that most of the GP's and dentists practicing in this area are Asian, or of Asian decent. I for one, would hate to see them pack their bags and head back home. To Bolton,Halifax and Bradford 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Just imagine a Labour or SNP politician taking such an anti business stand as Hunt has. They’d be getting crucified by the MSM, CBI, Confederation of Small Businesses, Chambers of Commerce, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 On 28/06/2019 at 15:24, Granny Danger said: I think MPs and their staff deserve to have holidays but there is something bizarre about Parliament going into recess for six weeks given the Brexit timetable and the fact that a new PM will be appointed just before the break. You are missing the point. We were granted an extension by the EU and Donald Tusk said "Don't waste this time". Bloody EU telling us what to do! We will bloody waste this time if we bloody want to! Take back control. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I’m convinced both Hunt and Johnson will be desperate for the HoC to stop them pursuing a No Deal Brexit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Speaker has refused an attempt to block a hard brexit with an amendment to a finance bill. I suspect that Labour were going to bottle it again and Bercow knew it would fail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tirso Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) They'll pass through May's deal. Bound to happen. Also, in Scotland's interests for there to be a backstop of Customs union in the event of independence.

Whoever you are, you were correct. 27 of the 28 EU members have agreed a deal. I'd be inclined to blame the one that hasn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Creative Ambiguity', What a beautiful phrase. What a beautiful 'let's pass the buck and let us absolve ourselves of any responsibility or blame for the mess we've created'.

Now that we are leaving, they claim there is money to bail out our fishing and agriculture industries. Where has all this money came from all of a sudden? And if Brexit is so good why do they need bailed out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So essentially we're paying more tax to give money to fishermen and farmers so they can give it to European governments who can use it to reduce their own people's tax burdens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
