Genie Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Got into a “debate” with a couple of UKIP/Leaver friends of mine on Facebook earlier. I was basically asking why they keep sharing this stupid made up crap about the EU taking the piss out of the UK and how they hate us etc. What I learned from several of them that chipped in that they don’t believe or trust ANY of the main media outlets. They are all liars and have their own agenda. I was genuinely quite shocked at that. They are happy to believe and peddle a screengrab of some text written on Microsoft Word without any kind of substance, but when you counter with a link to a media source with quotes they say it can’t be trusted. EU are taking the piss out of the UK and it needs to end is pretty much the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An example for more timid politicians on this one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted December 20, 2018 Moderator Share Posted December 20, 2018 So has Elmer Fudd found her inner Remainer escaping uncontrollably or is it yet another trial balloon ? Quote “I don’t want a people’s vote, or a referendum in general, but if parliament absolutely failed to reach a consensus I could see there would be a plausible argument for it.” “Parliament has to reach a majority on how it’s going to leave the European Union. If it fails to do so, then I can see the argument for taking it back to the people again, much as it would distress many of my colleagues.” Which gave rise to Andrea Leadballoon hitting back with a communique from the planet Zarg. The last bit is typical doublespeak / talking out of her low IQ arse * *delete as per your own opinion Quote "It's not government policy. "I myself think it would undermine the biggest democratic exercise ever, where we had a clear majority to leave the European Union. "To have a second referendum would unfortunately be going back to people and telling them they have got it wrong and they needed to try again. I think it would be unacceptable." "A managed no-deal does not necessarily mean there is no withdrawal agreement at all," Yep, if its a trial balloon, it's one that makes the cabinet look divided, if it's not then the cabinet is deeply divided 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't know how to organise it, deliver it in a fair way or have a clue what the result would be. Could be chaos. they are scared. Not a good look for a Government but I think they are curently. They have nowhere to go now and they know it. Edited December 20, 2018 by Amsterdam_Neil_D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, we'd pretty much run out of other countries to declare war against, so it had to happen sooner or later. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterms Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Mockery of our government's Brexit strategy (sorry, should that have inverted commas?) now extends even to restaurant reviews in foreign papers. How low have we sunk. Quote Maybe the people in charge have been taking management cues from Prime Minister Theresa May’s government, which has approached its Brexit plan like a class of first graders trying to build a working jet airplane out of Lego pieces and a flying-squirrel sock puppet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
