Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Khalekan]

Actually I love all most counties in Europe. I wish Ireland left too, would solve this backstop Problem

A Brexit from Ireland altogether would solve it even better, Mr. J.

You know it makes sense.

Unbelievable Hammond has got the boot, I like it though, 3 months ago he was the chancellor, Cummings is the ruthless influence behind all this.

Hammond has been “re-selected” by his local Tory constituency lol

Mr. Dominic Cummings is doing a great job in hastening the demise of the Conservative Party lol

 

[Khalekan]

I vote for this as possibly the "wrongest" post I've read on GOT.

Oh, he can do better than that, Chuck.

Here is a post Mr. Joyce made earlier.....

Don’t care if we live in mud huts for rest of our lives, and I lose my job.

I’d prefer all that, than stay one more day in the European Union.

I feel absolutely sick at any prospect of remaining.

lol

In this situation walking away is a bad thing. I'd say in negotiations having done proper analysis of the situation and being aware what you can gain and lose is much more important. But, hey, you'd rather it be 'I can walk away and leave myself screwed'

Don't forget, Johnson is such a master negotiator, he just lost to parliament. Pete has sadly lost it and won't be happy until the government has gone full Orban. They've already made Britain a laughing stock.

And with one bound he is free.

Johnson swears he will not go to the EU again and ask for an extension.

If all goes well with the Rebel Bill this week and if he is unable to get a deal fron the EU on October 17th he will be forced to do just that.

Unless.

He re-visits May’s WA.

Asks the EU to revert to the NI only Backstop.....and makes a few concessions to Labour in any new WA.

Bring it to the Commons.....the spineless ERG won’t stand up to the Whips like that honourable company of old fashioned One Nation Tories did today.

Francois and his ilk will do whatever Mr. Dominic Cummings tells them to now so they will vote for it.

Labour will vote for it as mist of their six demands are met.

And best of all for Johnson, the DUP are no longer a factor as he is now down about twenty votes so they ain’t propping him up no moah.

I have been saying it all along....the NI only Backstop is the only sensible way to get out of this mess.

And now the road to it is cleared of its only obstacle.....Tory dependence on the DUP.

Any chance you could explain the main reasons you are so anti EU? I'm genuinely interested.

Steve Baker; one of the better tories. Has said that they should now form an electoral pact with farage.

Might be the best way to sort this mess out, once they’ve got a landslide victory, we can leave with no deal and unify the county.

If they do that and we leave with no deal the country will be far from unified for a very long time. I fear should the opposite happen we will also be in the same scenario but at least we won't all be living in mud huts.

With the parliament math stacked against Johnson, can't see how he can stay on after 31/10/2019, that's some negotiating he has to do with himself.

Some time ago, I forget when as it all seems such a long time ago now, a (referendum?) was called for the people of the U.K. to vote for staying in the Common Market (?) or not, as the case may be. I recall that the outcome was to leave. We still haven’t left and for some reason it now seems that there was some caveat attached that if we were to leave, it must be with a ‘deal’? It would appear that unlike the original referendum(?) where the people was asked to vote, the caveat can only be decided by politicians. It all seems a little undemocratic and perhaps a little over complicated. Or have I got this wrong?
Looks like politics is not for us ordinary folks after all.

All of this Tory infighting is wonderful .... gives you a warm feeling deep inside.

It’s great innit

Sad day for politics this.

This isn't a vote against no deal, it's a vote against Brexit altogether.

I bet they're rubbing their hands with glee* in Brussels. I'm ashamed to say I'd no idea what had happened until I saw it on my phone 20 minutes ago as I was too focused on my laptop** yesterday to watch TV, listen to the radio or look at my phone.

*A rubbing compound manufactured and distributed throughout the EU

** No, i wasn't looking at porn!

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

What has impressed me is the opposition's coming together Labour Liberal SNP and Plaid all agreeing and a real sense to sort this out now, sure they will differ once they get past no deal. Indeed this unity can only be for the good, parking aside party politics.

Honourable mention for 21 Tories who stood upto this bullying Johnson.

Imagine a Tory Party, Churchills grandson having the whip removed... Not anymore!
