Current Affairs 2017 General Election

the content and tone of May's speech just now makes one think they are much more rattled than the polls would suggest - she repeatedly told obvious fibs

 

[Old Blue 2]

there is much more logic in offering a referendum after we know what Brexit would look like rather than before it

There is no logic in offering another referendum. Period...

utter ineptitude from both tories and labour now

Of course there is. We are going to have to agree to the final deal, either via Parliamentary vote (elected on this issue but also a whole host of other reasons) or via a referendum. The latter would at least be a clear decision taken by the people, and it would have much more sense behind it than the decision taken in June last year.

She is so lucky corbyn is in charge, reckon even miliband(ed) would have stood a good chance here

literally as you typed your post above:

Q: Why did you grant asylum to the man arrested for the killing of Yvonne Fletcher?

May says there are rules that apply to the granting of asylum.

It's actually becoming embarrassing as they're both that bad.

Corbyn has to contend with an ongoing revolt in his party, the hostility of much of the media and doesn't have years of experience of high public office.

She is far worse than he is.

What a choice for the voters though !

Shakes head in disbelief...

As you Scottish, Bruce? Let's have referendum after referendum until we get the answer Bruce wants.

Bruce, honestly, I would have expected far better from you. You need a reality check...

So you're happy with whatever kind of Brexit we have? You'd be happy with the Norwegian version, for instance, whereby we get single market + free movement and pay into the EU, albeit with no say on policy?

Except for years of being an MP?

I meant minister of state.

Tories are rattled. May has gone into meltdown. This is great.
