Burnside, yet again showing his true self
Dominic Raab, fervent Brexiteer, said real livelihoods are at stake, not me. A thought: if you are telling someone to grow up then you are implying that they are a child. Which is not a very nice thing to say, is it? Bordering on name calling perhaps?
Here's a thought, let's implement the decision taken on 23rd June 2016 to leave the EU, then in maybe a decade we can revisit it to see if it has worked out or not. After all, we had to wait 40 years for another rethink after the 1975 referendum, in which time myriad treaties were brought into force without any of us having a say in whether we agreed with them. Two years on and Remainers ...
@B/S - as I have said before. More information has come out in the past 26 months or so since the referendum as to what leaving the EU might actually mean. Voters are now seeing through the spin they were spun (duplicity?) by the Leave campaign back in 2016. As Dominic Raab, the Brexit Secretary, said only very recently: real livelihoods are at stake.
To know that we know what we know, and that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge.
Before the referendum the terms "soft" and "hard" Brexit did not exist, it was just Brexit. "Soft Brexit" is something dreamt up by Remainers as a way of keeping us in the EU by the back door, just as May has proposed in her Chequers document. It won’t wash, voters can see straight through her duplicity. We are not negotiating with the EU, they just want abject surrender from the UK. ...
A No Deal hard Brexit for you then? With all the consequences that such a scenario would bring? Perhaps people and businesses need to start thinking through just what that might mean. "amidst all of the technical detail, we understand that real livelihoods are at stake." https://www.gov.uk/government/news/secretary-of-state-dominic-raabs-speech-on-no-deal-planning
I suppose she can always fall back on her medical career. We haven't even left the EU yet, an exit agreement has still to be finalised, so any consequences are pure speculation. Under May's Chequers proposals we won't really be leaving at all, she must think we are all bloody stupid. Hopefully when parliament resumes next month a serious challenge to her leadership will take place, and ...
Maybe she no longer cares. Country before party and all that. And a lot of information about the consequences of Brexit have come to light since June 2016
Wollaston needs to retain the support of the local Tory association if she wants to be the Conservative candidate at the next election. Given her track record of teaming up with a couple of other traitorous colleagues and voting against the government on key EU withdrawal bills, I wouldn’t say that support can be guaranteed. By the way, almost without exception, the electorate in the south ...
