Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

I see it as the best outcome and nothing to be unduly worried about.

We can then start negotiations on a decent trade deal with the eu if they want one.

Corbyn was offered the chance to put a workable alternative forward this afternoon and guess what .... silence.

After tearing up a contract, who would trust the UK again?

T May is similar to Donald Trump, power at any price and to hell with honesty and anybody who disagrees with her.

The UK is not trusted by many now, but the demonstration in the HP will make it appear less reliable in any contract making.

I think she should call a new general election and resign.

At the time manifestoes of all parties should be explicit and a new (informed) referendum could be carried out at the same time as that election.

The Brexit or Breakit could be postponed for 2-3 months.

Just accept the vote Fred 52% voted Leave.

Talk about the kettle calling the frying pan black when you speak about Labour.

A contract not ratified.

Corbyn is more like Trump , both cuckoo.

The EU isn't even trusted by its own members let alone the rest of the world.

What you think is not her concern.

Both manifestos were clear at the last election , to leave the eu

29th March is fine but a six month transition period for managed no deal would be sensible.

Have a good evening Fred.

Dil,

You may be happy to live with your mistakes, I still try to recognise them and correct them and associated actions.

I see no pride in persevering if I made a poor choice.

Pride has never bought me a meal.

My feeling about JC is that he is happy to watch T. May dig a deep enough hole to bury herself and as many of her fellow party members as it will hold.

I think he will/would accept staying the EU as it is more beneficial for the UK economy to stay in it.

(I think he is a socially minded pragmatist more than an ideologist. The first is difficult enough without being idealistic.)

(The labeling of him a communist and xenophobic are tory party and media smears. Similar to that done to Milliband.)

But, possibly, he would prefer not to chance failing on a "No Confidence" vote, as it might unite the tories (Right wing, neo-cons and left-wings of the tories) who are more interested in their own pockets than the pockets of all in society.

If May continues to make a mess, as she appears to be doing, he and labour will have a better chance of winning such a vote.

Also, he will also be able to refer it back to a referendum with the presentation of ALL the available information.

But I would prefer a labour, SNP, Lib/Dem coalition government to sort out the mess which has been created.

Lib/Dem & SNP hard line remainers but not enough MPs to make a difference.

Labour clueless but have the MPs to make a difference and easily lead by the LIB/Dems & SNP.

So what you want is to get Brexit stopped.

Stop trying to take a high moral ground when you just want to defy the will of the people by subterfuge.

Roll on the 3rd uninformed referendum.

Just when you think these Tory outers have completely lost it they still insist on digging that hole even deeper for themselves, quite baffling really but it’s great to watch nevertheless and long may it continue.

Late but applicable!

Empty vessels make the most sound.

Then stop moving around so much.

😀

Whats the latest Fred has she declared UDI yet?

With apologies to Will.

May and her tory collaborators.
(Including, Dil, Manuel, It)


Their revels now are ended. Those our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherited, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. They are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and their little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

Pound up - Market up - could it be that sense prevails and the markets accept a clean break from the EU is now on the cards? :-)

The one thing I think Fred and I most likely agree on, is TM must go.

Have they told Mrs Maybe to get on her bike and get back to little England yet?

A couple of paragraphs from John Stepek today. (Moneyweek)

The scenario that really scares the market

Firstly, there’s an increased risk of “no deal”. At the end of the day, financial markets would much prefer it if Britain had decided to stay in the European Union (EU) – which does, incidentally, go to show you why you can’t run a society by the dictates of financial markets alone, which is another reason for the current discord.

The fact that May can’t apparently get her deal through parliament suggests that the odds of “no deal” have risen. You can certainly argue that the odds on remaining have risen too – there’s now more chance of an election or a second referendum outcome. But it’s that increase in uncertainty that has helped to unnerve markets.

Secondly – and probably more importantly – there’s an increased chance of May getting kicked out. If May steps down or is forced to step down as prime minister, that increases the danger that Jeremy Corbyn gets his shot in the hot seat – and that’s what markets are really nervous about.

I realise it can sound as if I’m horribly biased against Corbyn, and I’ll make no bones about the fact that I think he’d be a disaster.

T May appears to me, to be on a political self-publicising tour of Europe at the expense of the British public in an attempt to save her own skin.

I think the costs and the abuse of the public purse should be investigated.

She appears manic and needing treatment rather than sympathy.

Europe is laughing and crying at the same time.

251,

JC a bigger disaster than May and her cohorts are already?

How many of the tory R.Wingers are holding their fund outside the UK?

Bring on the fairies.

only fred and his marxist buddies think of corbyn as JC ..... except belief in JC and his Dad are haram to true marxists
