The Tories are done for now, in the three years since the Brexit vote I have never witnessed social media in such a meltdown as it is tonight, and it's mostly Tories turning on May. She will go down in history as the leader who destroyed the Conservative party.
To nobody's surprise at all Bercow would only allow four Remain amendments to be voted on in parliament tonight, happily they were all defeated and another so-called Tory has thrown his dummy out of the pram and resigned from the party. Brexit really is clearing out all the phonies.
In June 2017 Snow allegedly yelled "F*ck the Tories" while attending the almost all-white Glastonbury festival, something he later said "he has no recollection of saying". And this man is a newsreader for a supposedly impartial news programme on Channel 4.
I will skip any programme made by Channel 4, it is a bastion of the left. Why, only on Friday we had its senior news anchor being rather racist about white people. Channel 4’s new anchor Jon Snow has been heavily criticised after he claimed he’d “never seen so many white people” as he reported from the Brexit march. The 71-year-old broadcaster was reporting for Channel 4 News live from ...
What is sickening me today is MPs from across parliament coming out to defend Grieve after he lost his local party's confidence vote. This man went against the manifesto he was elected on and colluded with Speaker Bercow to do his best to wreck Brexit. He is a traitor to the electorate, and I sincerely hope there are many more MPs today who are feeling somewhat worried about their political ...
The EU is now saying a WTO Brexit on April 12th is likely. Job done.
French and Dutch voters were given a say on the Lisbon Constitution, but after both electorates rejected the proposed constitution it was rewritten as treaty, and in a way that bypassed any legal requirement for referendums in member states. https://euobserver.com/institutional/25052 You say us plebs are way too thick to have a vote on such complex issues, but after witnessing the shitshow ...
I can't speak for Farage, but I know I had to wait 40 years to vote again on the issue. Let's enact the Leave result and then after a suitable period (40 years?), we can evaluate if it has been a success.
I would remind you that the '75 referendum occured when we had been in the EEC for only two years, nothing much had happened by then, I don't think people thought membership had affected them much at all. Of course the EEC then morphed into the EU with myriad game-changing treaties, such as Maastricht and Lisbon, being introduced. Not once were we given a chance to vote on these treaties, Gordon ...
And we'd likely to be told to eff off, wait 40 years like we had to after 1975, but because Remain lost the government is bending over backwards to try to bend the result to placate them. But we do have a Remain government and a Remain parliament so it's no wonder the decision made by the people is being trashed.
