Nothing focusses the attention of the British conservatives more than a realisation that something might affect them as well as/rather than someone else.

Like that Tory voting woman who broke down into tears on Question Time when she realised the austerity cuts were going to hit her as well and challenged Rudd on it.

"I thought you'd be screwing over everyone else but I'd be fine, and I voted for you on that basis, but now I'm being screwed over as well!"

Missed that. I can't stand question time. Have you got a link?

No his case was thrown out, but he spent his life savings defending himself in court because he wasn't entitled to legal aid after voting for the the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act.

Accused, but it was chucked out pretty pronto iirc.

Oh right.

I knew I'd heard his name somewhere to do with male rape.

Went viral at the time - I think she ran for a seat about a year after it too.

Firstly, can I respectfully ask that you don't mention me in this thread again. Because of posts like this I have no desire to come in here any more and had put the thread creator on ignore (sorry @micknick, nothing personal) specifically to stop me coming in here.

But seeing as you have made the effort to single me out, I'll give you the courtesy of a response.

I don't know why you think I believed a no deal Brexit is all scare mongering and project fear. I have always spoken out against no deal and have frequently acknowledged the negative impact it could have on the country, both economically and logistically. I may have mocked the odd post where ridiculous claims have been made. Such as the one where all our aircraft would be grounded because they wouldn't be allowed to fly in European airspace. And I may also have put people straight who believed our financial sector would fall apart in the event of no deal. But overall I have generally condemned no deal for the crisis it will be.

I have read the report and there is nothing in there I didn't expect to see. I could point out that they do stress this is a worst case scenario and the chances are the reality will not prove to be as bad as this, or that the Govt will undoubtedly be taking many steps to mitigate the effects of the most serious matters such as medication supplies etc. But I guess they're not things you would wish to hear so will just dismiss them anyway. Another reason why I'm staying out of here.

Poor Mick.

Makes me wonder what made her vote Tory in the first place?

Here's hoping some of the most fervent defenders of Brexit on here don't suffer as a result of, say, medicines shortages.

Rather they suffer than those whom did not help deliver this chaos upon us.

Poor Mick.

I dare say he'll get over it .

Well this was shortly after the 2015 GE and after 5 years of austerity she thought they'd be better for her family, so I would guess rank stupidity?

Because according to you they were thick and racist idiots on LBC this am the next vote will be Cambridge graduates only as the Judge and ala Dominic Grieve were educated at Cambridge Bruce - as for the contingency report loads of top businesses telephoned in saying the worst scenario always has to be put ie its no more than a trumped up H&S report let's face it it's hard crossing the road sometimes- theses were top businesses saying this explaining the yellow hammer report they would have not published to their staff even with deals in China as it would cause uncertainty in the workplace often the deals went through with bad provisional outcomes successfully 9 times out of 10....
Good old LBC early am putting things into perspective - also linking the one of the Judges knew Greive very well........
A Cambridge boy in his day....... coincidence so was Dominic Grieve......
politics should be kept out of courts - the party conference season is taking up over 3 weeks of parliament closing its perouging for 4 days Bruce ...... even the deputy Editor of the socialist Daily Mirror admitted that point.....
Oh, and it is the right for a new PM to have a Queens speech ... the party conferences would have closed parliment any way.....

Dominic Grieve did not go to Cambridge, he went to Oxford.
