Why do I get the feeling a request for a pig’s head isn’t far away?

Kudos to the 150 MP's who don't want a hard Brexit, don't want a soft Brexit, don't want May's deal, don't want a peoples vote and don't want to abstain.

The best thing about this clown talking about 'owing his constituents' is he represents a constituency that voted overwhelmingly to leave (61%) and on the opinion poll map that @bickster posted a few pages back, is one of only a handful in the country that back a no deal!

Another lawyer crowdfunding half a million quid to pay himself, really? I wish him all the best with his ‘moral’ crusade.

Well it is a bit like a group of amateur middle age men calling a £30k a week, 40+ cap international footballer a load of sh*t and really believe it, yeah, I agree!

Unless in private conversation she had been crystal clear about what she wanted/expected and he’d gone blabbing to the press in a deliberate attempt to undermine her, then she would be right to call him out right? Just conjecture of course, but isn’t it all?

In her defence I see Juncker was employing the old 'keep hand on upper arm to exert control' move, straight from the Trump Art of Persuasion ABC Handbook. It's just a good job the camera went out before he moved on to the full p*ssy grab!

Don't you find the whole 'we are not prepared to talk about the nature of our future relationship/the UK won't say it wants in the future' narrative somewhat at odds with itself?

@peterms , @blandy interesting to hear your takes. Whilst in agreement that the EU have been firm and clear in their approach, I'm not so sure flexibility or fluidity are attributes that they can lay claim to. It is my view that they are playing a very dangerous game in their very public announcements of refusing to engage in any renegotiating of a deal that has proven unacceptable to almost half of the governing party and ALL opposition parties in the UK parliament. I'm assuming (based on previous comments from Tusk) that their preferred option is the UK staying in the EU, an outcome which is only realistically achievable after a second referendum. My concern (if I wanted to remain) would be that if there is a second referendum, and that referendum is perceived to have been forced by the EU and not from within the UK, for the first time today, I think their is a very real chance that they may lose it. That said I look forward to reading the EU's document on a No Deal scenario released on the 19th and of course their plans for the border on the island of Ireland.

Where do you see the EU’s position on the same scale?

Time to buy again and price average down! Bargains to be had if you can afford to wait out this political sh*tstorm.

Could definitely be some value in pumping the remaining 3% in too!

Varadkar is never going to miss a chance to get his face on the TV, a poor man's 'Call me Dave'!

It literally makes my blood boil!

Had to visit here after reading some threads in OT and seeing Tammy Abraham described as Now in my head I'm thinking that surely he is 'patently too good'. It's a mix up I always consider to be wrong although patently 'blatantly' also has meaning in this context. A quick google seems to confirm that language has moved on and I haven't!

Maybe, but it makes sense in my own head. Look, I agree with many of the points that @Dave-R made above, with the one condition that winning is important. If that can be done with fringe players, great! But I find the whole ‘the cup is a distraction’, ‘concentrate on the league’ stuff a load of old donkey balls. If I went into my office and told people ‘Look, I know you’re working on that big contract for our biggest client but I want a couple of the trainees to cobble together something for this new smaller client. Doesn’t really matter if they f it up so long as we get that big contract right’. What would that say about me as a manager? What would it say about the company? All that...plus I haven’t forgotten what a rip roaring success concentrating on the league was after the MON’s Mission to Moscow!

We won’t win the Premier League either so why bother trying to get there? When/if we’re in the Premier League we won’t win the Champions League so why bother trying to get top 4? Oh, we’ll get more money for those. A sad indictment on the attitudes to modern sport if ever there was.

How about this but with a Single Transferable Vote, that should at least spice it up a little!

FTFY

Anti-Semite and retard in the space of two pages. Hang on, let me go and get my dinner jacket. I see things have gone high-brow.

But Soros does fund things political in this country right? Your argument seems to be that it is ok for a foreign individual to act in their own interest but not a foreign state?

Just so I’m clear on the standards. Overseas money and intervention in the debate is fine? What if it comes from a Russian businessman funding the leave campaign?

The racism card. I think that's a little bit snide in all fairness. Over the last couple of pages Rees-Mogg has been accused of profiteering from Brexit, fair game. John Redwood has been accused of profiteering from Brexit, fair game. I've mentioned Soros and I'm anti-Semitic? In your honest opinion, should the UK economy or currency tank post Brexit, which of those three do you think will profit most? Or is it that you feel he has no involvement in the Brexit debate? If that's the case, here is a story from the Guardian earlier in the year that would suggest criticism is fair game. Happy to hear arguments as to why I can't mention him. Money seems to talk, on more level than one.

I'm assuming is internet speak for 'beyond political reproach'.

Good job we can trust the major players on the other side of the argument to never do something like that.
