How are we going to break this to the Daily Mail readers? May's changed her tune a bit but this is what she said a couple of years ago. Quote “The ECHR can bind the hands of parliament, adds nothing to our prosperity, makes us less secure by preventing the deportation of dangerous foreign nationals – and does nothing to change the attitudes of governments like Russia’s when it comes to human rights, So regardless of the EU referendum, my view is this: if we want to reform human rights laws in this country, it isn’t the EU we should leave but the ECHR and the jurisdiction of its court.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Aye, that's the kind of stuff I was remembering. There's hope for our beleaguered industries yet, by jingo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jedi Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Still think even the Tories reckon Ref 2 is coming by the end of the January (legislation for it anyhow). Ramping up all the no deal catastrophe via the media may be a way to try and get her deal through, but can also be seen as preparation as softening folk up for another Ref. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm despaired at how little the c***s in charge actually know about anything. Hopefully it will lead to the end of these born to rule fuckers and a new way of doing things in the future if it happens. Don't hold your breath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Don't hold your breath. I still can't believe that industry, commerce and the BoE are simply going to stand by and watch the bus disappear over the cliff. And I'd expect the recent delivery of the Ladybird Guides To Brexit to further dismay and infuriate them, highlighting as it does the sheer incompetence of the UK Government.Consider too that although the lunatics are currently in the box seat, deep down they must be haunted by the prospect of being the midwives to utter mayhem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons there won’t be a Hard Brexit. If the Tories were to impose this on the U.K. they would lose support on a massive scale. They know this and all but the nutter element are wary of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would also lose support if we don't leave the EU/remain in the single market. England aren't voting Labour in any time soon so the tories basically have free reign to do what they like and are pursuing an ever increasing right wing agenda.

Fullerene Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 So Jeremy Corbyn says Brexit will still happen even if Labour wins a snap election. He is happy to do what the Labour members want - provided they want what he wants. Great. Still going off a cliff but maybe we get to choose a different cliff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was a Remainer, I think she'd be quite happy if we stayed. That's assuming a second referendum went the "right" way, of course... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
