Oh dear, Mrs C, you do have a vivid imagination regarding life in Britain before the Common Market.  It reads like something out of a Charles Dickens novel, the only thing you missed out was the workhouse.  Of course, you know it was nothing like that.  Do you really believe employment protection laws only came about after 1973?  Do some research, dearie.  And as I remember, the only times ...

This country was called the sick man of Europe because we'd suffered decades of industrial strife, where the unions to all intents and purposes ran the country. Industry could not move forward because of the restrictive practices imposed by unions.  It culminated in the infamous "winter of discontent" of '78-79, when, amongst other things, uncollected rubbish was piled high in the streeets, ...

I am not deflecting anything.  And I genuinely do believe you are not the full shilling.

Advocating that these traitors are politically destroyed is not a crime, Mrs C  Are you special needs? But getting back to the point of parliament having to agree the Brexit terms, this is a ludicrous demand.  It could mean the negotiations get extended by years, ultimately leading to Brexit being abandoned.  But let's face it, that is exactly what Remainers want to happen, isn't it? ...

Neither does you wishing them be destroyed (#999). - What does that mean, Mrs C?  You truly are a strange woman.

Speak for yourself, Mrs C.  I personally hope that the political career of each and every one of these traitors is destroyed.  They were not seeking a meaningful vote, they are out to thwart Brexit by any means possible.

The Lisbon Treaty, or to give it its proper name the EU Constitution was initially rejected by both the Dutch and French electorates in referendums in 2005.  This sent the EU into a panic and caused a temporary abandonment of the constitution, but, true to form, it was revived a couple of years later as the Lisbon Treaty.  The architect of the EU Constitution, Giscard d’Estaing, freely admitted ...

Ah yes, those treaties like Maastricht and Lisbon which took us ever deeper into the EU without anyone being asked if we wanted that.  I clearly remember Gordon Brown avoided putting his name to the Lisbon document in the grand signing ceremony with other EU leaders, instead he did it separately all by himself, as though he was somehow ashamed to be seen signing it at all.
