Re: What should happen with Brexit?

I still need to read through the deal agreed by May, just not had the chance. I voted remain, but am conscious of the reasons people want to leave. People can say "I know what I voted for" as much as they like, but no one could predict the deal May could bring, so that's a load of crud. I...

Re: What should happen with Brexit?

Leave, and negotiate a trade arrangement over the next few years. But for God's sake don't send political pole climbers. Conscript some CEOs, QCs, M&A people. Eh? We sent civil servants and Government lawyers to do the actual negotiating, the likes of Raab and Davis would just direct them as to...

Re: What should happen with Brexit?

A lot of people who wanted and still want Brexit to happen will be very unhappy if we do have a second referendum (with some justification in my opinion) and even more unhappy if the country decides to stay in the EU after all. However, I am certainly uncomfortable with, but not necessarily opposed...

Re: What should happen with Brexit?

As much as I'd prefer to throw all this Brexit crap in the bin and go back to the way things were, I am not comfortable with discarding the referendum result or having a second referendum. Both options feel somewhat undemocratic to me, and I don't want to go through the months of campaigning, lying...

There's a hella long list of MP's who deserve a similar fate over their complicity in this on both sides of the dispatch box.

It's hard to judge if it was because BOA's queue wasn't fit for purpose or the crowd really wanted to hear Sadiq Khan speak :P

Re: movies

Saw the new Johnny English, not worth it tbh. It's about as funny as 2 was (so not very) but it's literally just a sequence of telegraphed cheap jokes with no real attempt at much of a story. Reminds me of Die Hard 5 in that they just took an unwanted script and just slapped a poorly fitting franchi...

Re: EU Referendum and Afterwards

When we leave (probably) the EU, my hope is that, since we will no longer be able to blame problems on them, we will examine our system's faults and make the necessary changes. (EU opinions aside) It's a nice hope but I have my doubts, whoever is in government will carry on paving over the cracks a...

Re: EU Referendum and Afterwards

I wouldn't say have another Brexit vote, the stipulations were all made prior and haven't changed, I mean it's a fucking shit show I would, and I voted leave. As for the stipulation that it was "once in a lifetime/betray will of the people" that's a load of old BS, politicians of all part...
