HanoiVillan Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I literally came to post the same thing. Some nerve to complain about people colluding with foreign powers when yer representative from Riyadh Central is calling up his mates in Poland's government, demanding they veto extensions, and boasting about it on the Twitters every few months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colhint Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 you would think in a case like this with the help of cctv, to identify them. Then prosecute for trespass, vandalism and hate crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No excuse. Probably some Corbyn communist. The extreme right and extreme let are 2 sides of the same coin. When you go too far to the extreme in either direction you end up in the same place, authoritanianism and absolutism. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly but Momentum did tweet it along with "Good Morning Conservatives , Welcome to Manchester" they then deleted it and said it wasn't them and it was Joleon Lescott's pocket or something Edit - I see you've linked it , assume that Manchester Momentum is something different to the other Momentum ?

It was on the ratification of Lisbon. There were issues that they weren't happy with (from memory it was to do with a reduction in the number of Commissioners and wanting Ireland's military neutrality explicitly referenced among other things). So it was renegotiated, and a party was elected with a manifesto commitment to vote on the renegotiated treaty. Which they did, and it passed 67/33.

Chindie Posted September 30, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2019 30 minutes ago, mjmooney said: Ireland had a second referendum, didn't they? Comments from Irish VTers would be welcome. Ireland's constitution demands a referendum for significant legislation changes. They originally rejected the Lisbon treaty over concerns with some of its provisions. Those concerns were addressed, it went back to the people, they agreed with it, it passed. Of course if you're a 'Eurosceptic' (snigger), this actually meant that the EU didn't like lil' ole Ireland saying no to it so forced them to do it again until they came back with the right answer. Which is bollocks. Obviously our Irish posters can elaborate on that but that's the gist of it. It's a little different to the Brexit situation. A second Brexit ref would be more confirmatory in light of more information, than seeking approval for an amended legislation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
