Current Affairs EU In or Out

I can't agree. Widdecombe is terrific. She's a cut above anything that either of the front benches has to offer. She is a tremendous debater and very smart. Her age is irrelevant.

 

[Jebus_lives]

They'll probably say they're all black and should go back.

I have no doubt that certain people will be thinking that Brexit means that any forens have to leave come 1st Feb...

The [Poor language removed] state of this old hag representing Britain on the international stage. Shame on all those who voted for her and her ilk. Shame.

Urgh Christ. How did we get here?

Oh the irony.... from the Dutch MEP, using the lazy, tired argument that only a minority percentage of those eligible to vote, voted for it, rather than the percentage of those who actually voted.

The turnout for European wide, MEP elections, is generally significantly less than the UK referendum vote. So by her own argument, it doesn't say much for her own legitimacy to govern, does it?

Do the MEP elections attract the best candidates? I've always thought the best UK politicians stick to local UK / MP elections, and it's the 3rd rate candidates that generally stand in European elections. And that doesn't say much for our interest and belief in an EU wide government...

Less people voted Tory than did not. What would you call it?

It has a name....First Past The Post. And it gives way to a functioning government, rather than the shambolic, selfish, party politics, that has crippled our parliament over the last few years.

Which is what the Dutch lady said. We have a majority government that commanded a minority of votes. The Tories are in office due to the British electoral system rather than earning the support of most of the country. Of course, they will act as though they have the support of the entire country, even though they don't.

Out of a job February 1st so at least we don't have to endure her for long. Remainers rejoice there is now one positive. Let it not be said that we only look for negativity in Brexit.

 

[Barnfred 55]

Hahaha, good old Boris....

When asked about Big Ben sounding off when we leave and the £500,000 cost of doing it, he produced the “bung a bob for a Big Ben bong”.....and this is what Corbyn and all the other miserable Labour politicians just cannot understand, sometimes we need a bit of humour in our politics.....

£500 grand. Can I have that job please.

 

[Blues Harp]

Would love a bong the size of big Ben...would save me from seeing any reality over the next 5 years from lying politicians of either side....we don't need governments to tell us what to do....self serving slimeballs.

 

[peteblue]

It's this sort of EU workers rights that we'll be free from when we leave the EU!!!

Ear defenders, ear defenders....

There isn't a job of 'being Big Ben'.

 

[Jebus_lives]

Ear defenders, ear defenders....

I've got mine on after listening to that Widdecombe video earlier.

Look Lads, at the end of the month we will be independent, we will run our own country. I know that many of you are afraid of managing our own affairs, but really we can do this. We used to be a small independent country and somehow managed to oversee a quarter of the planet. I know that our Remainers are frightened of taking responsibility for their own actions, but fortunately the Leavers know what’s needed. Don’t panic, we will look after you.....as we always have.....
