Current Affairs EU In or Out

Hoey is one example against 90+.

How do you think those 90+ constituencies will vote in a General Election?

My guess is that the brexit party will target those constituencies, win most of them, then form a coalition with the tory party which will have a substantial working majority.

Then heaven help the poor people.

Well, I think we shall find out soon enough and my thoughts are a tory brexit party coalition with a substantial working majority.

HE LP!

On catching up with this thread this morning, I have the feeling that Dave has been replaced by Richard as the resident leaver smartarse.

Exactly as intended. You know there are communities now that rent private police?

This is the Brexit-loving libertarian vision of Rees-Mogg and co - why should he pay taxes to keep you secure when he can just club together with his mates for a gang of thugs to keep their own land safe*? Austerity has been a massive con job to start the process that Brexit-driven national bankruptcy will complete.

* You too can feel safe by giving a huge monthly payment to Rees-Mogg security services. In fact why not just work on his estate?

That's not solely a pursuit of free market purist such as Mogg and the rest of his Brexiteers, it is also where liberalism ultimately leads, so including LibDems and even right of the Labour party. The drift of marketised and consumerised everything, has been on agenda before 2010 ,however, certainly enhanced since then.

Indeed, funding our state needed addressing, it's wether you believe the most vulnerable pay for it by Austerity or you make the wealthiest stump up the continuing cost through Taxations.

Brexit is about how far and how quickly the UK pursues maketised and consumer everything. Ardent leavers who just want open UK up to all free market forces or ardent remainers who want a considered opening up to free market forces, both egged on and supported by good deal of cronyism and nepotism, looking after their interests.

Well isn't this how Robert peel started a police force. To protect the toffs from the riff raff

I’m assuming it was written by some hyperventilating 16 year old....

“We have known for a long time that Brexit is an economic disaster and now we also know that undemocratic no-deal Brexit is a political disaster. But it is also a moral disaster. A conscious decision to subject huge numbers to financial misery and see people hurt and die due to loss of public services and economic dislocation.....”

Talk about hitting the panic button.....

I'm guessing he might be a touch more qualified than you on economic matters.

Operation yellow hammer, sounds like the good old days of World War 2 and a theatre of war plan, that many Brexiteers reminisce and romance about. Being financially raped by America, can't wait for these good old days.

Easy not to panic when your job is not on the line or if house prices crash that could cause people to be trapped into homes not suitable for the size of their families.

Panic implies that it's irrational, but it's not. All the evidence, which he has repeatedly seen, indicates it will be detrimental socially and financially, the impact analysis says it will be tough in short term, we wi bounce a little (which I am sure he will herald as a win against project Fear) then it will be a slow and steady decline.

He knows this, he just doesn't care.

Is your job on the line over Brexit. If house prices ‘crash’ then so do the bigger properties you would have liked to buy. If you want to be truly terrified of the future just think what Corbyn and McDonnell would do to the country.....

Excellent chap, a pure academic, used to advise the last Labour Government I believe, he didn’t see the 2008 economic crash coming though did he......
