I tend to have a better opinion of MPs than most but I genuinely struggle with him, he must be the thickest of the lot by far. François may be thicker than 3 day old gravy but he can't hold a candle to the Member for Shrewsbury and Atcham - Daniel Kawczynski, hands down the dumbest piece of excrement to have been elected to the House of Commons in the last thirty years. I've lost count of the number of times he's said stuff that is just plain wrong, factually wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I do wonder if they are being thick for a target demographic, or if they are genuine. From Francois to right up the plum tree with Mogg, they say stuff which is clearly ridiculous. Mogg last night had said if we go for May's deal we will be a slave state. Then suggested he might vote for it. Maitliss repeated his own words back to him and he told her she was being 'silly'. He just knows that for some people, saving us from EU slavery, or quoting a grandad from Dunkirk, or a bit of latin or whatever, that's a solid vote winner. But there's no arguing with them. if one of them announces rhubarb is a type of rock, you can't tell them they are wrong. But what I can never work out, do they absolutely believe that rhubarb is a form of rock? Do they believe whether something is a rock is simply down to opinion? Or do they know that out there, there's a demographic looking for the party that promotes igneous vegetables and as stupid as it might be, once you've said it, you've got their support. Or, I guess I might be wrong about rhubarb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/233767 Quote Hard Remain: Align with other EU countries and adopt Schengen and the euro. Many people are unhappy with the various varieties of brexit that are on the table. But many are also unhappy with the current membership of the EU. Another option would be for a "hard remain". The UK should become part of the Schengen area, adopt the euro currency, and adopt EU driving standards. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Imagine if that's what we'd done as a response to a 52% remain vote. It'd be ludicrous, but here we are going for a reckless, extreme Brexit based on a 52%. What's we have done for a 90% leave vote? Send some spitfires over to Dresden?

PieFacE Posted March 29, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) Watching the session in the Commons at the minute and It really really annoys me. I genuinely despise them all, the system, the way they talk, cheer and shout each other down. The whole thing just makes me cringe so much.

To be fair though, when the people he is being compared to are other Conservative MPs, it's not all that difficult to swim to the top of that particular puddle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I think Chris Philp (on Sky News) has just said that Snell and Nandy have voted for the motion. I may have got that wrong as it was when I turned over to the channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
