He doesn't even slightly care about this country, and goes along with the incompetent fucks in Scottish Labour and what they believe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Yup. Scottish and Welsh Labour appear to be being given greater autonomy and it’s showing how much of an ideological shambles both of them are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Why don't you look into the camera" while I presumably tell you what to say section failed miserably as well thankfully. I am no fan of Scottish Labour nor the BBC Politics gurus, but Andrew Marr was a disgrace this morning in his attempt to demean Corbyn. I know it's whataboutery, but did he ever ask May to do that following her Grenfell disappearance? He also described the You Gov Report on a second referendum as " propaganda" by the people who paid for the polling. hope he does the same for all other polling. As for Richard Leonard on Sunday politics it was good to see that words of apology are so difficult to utter re Humza Yousaf that he had a full Theresa May frog in the throat moment. he also says there is "No evidence" of a wish for a 2nd Scottish Referendum -here I am. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be standing outwith politics and party loyalties. Instead the stand behind Labour despite one clusterfuck after another. Piss poor social media presence and public image in general. Has me seething a lot of the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After we crash out of Europe, will anyone be talking about nationalizing the railways, improving the NHS, employing more teachers and nurses, making life better for millions of people in the UK? No. The entire conversation will be about Brexit, our relationship with the EU, our role in the world, our delusions of grandeur, our belief that anybody else in the world cares what we have to say about anything, and maybe some complications in Ireland. We were asked about the EU back in 2016. Fine. How's that going? Everything sorted out - exactly as promised - maybe not. More money for the NHS, again maybe not. Once we are shown what leaving the EU will actually mean - as opposed to all the "snake oil crap" - how is it not democratic to ask if we still want to go through with it.

LongTimeLurker Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 The choice in the referendum wasn't predicated on a no deal Brexit. Many leave voters expected something like Norway's EEA status, so a second referendum would be reasonable. Problem is there are only about six months left and Spain can get awkward over Gibraltar before agreeing to any extension to the two years so it's probably too late now anyway. The EU don't want members leaving so having a huge mess unfold to discourage any future repeat isn't necessarily bad from their standpoint given the UK and RoI will be affected by it much more than any of the other parties involved. If Theresa May is expecting movement from them, she is delusional as to who holds the stronger negotiating position. If the EU doesn't like the Chequers plan they can easily just say on you go then at this point and that appears to be what happened in Salzburg. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Why is May threatening a Corbyn government if her own party doesn't back her Chequers deal. Which part of the EU saying her plan is shite and unacceptable does she not get. Arrogant little Englander attitude at play 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
