Referendum : to be in Europe or not to be ?, that is the question ! (REF)     

required field - 03 Feb 2016 10:00

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....

grannyboy - 09 Feb 2017 15:45 - 6391 of 12628

He should have bought her a drink first. hasn't he heard about foreplay.

There is no timetabling allowed in the Lords. They can apply as many amendments as they wish and take as long as they want. Even one successful amendment will see Brexit back to the Commons and then round it goes again. It's called ping-ponging. Then it could be a year wait for the Parliament Act, a few hundred new Lords which would take quite a time or a GE

Just scaremongering Hays. The leader of Labour in the Lords has already said that Labour will not block Brexit. But newspapers have to sell news. Trump is right about the press. Read the same news reported by the Guardian and the Telegraph, or the Mirror and Mail, and you will see how differently they spin what they present to their readers. Fact is that we all want to read news that agree with our own views or prejudices and editors know that. So they please their readers.

The Libs may well block. There is a big crossbench group of around 200. I am hoping for a blockage as it will probably produce an election. Look at the result for 1931 to see what may happen.

Fred1new - 09 Feb 2017 21:06 - 6395 of 12628

Look at what happened after 1931!

MaxK - 09 Feb 2017 21:13 - 6396 of 12628

No, with any luck, the "Lords" will see where this will lead and vote accordingly.

I am fed up with the delays...there was a clear vote, the €uro-snowflakes lost, time to put it in it's coffin and nail down the lid.



If the "Lords" don't listen to the public, call Guido back to finish the job.

Germany posted a record trade surplus in 2016, just weeks after Donald Trump's top trade adviser accused the country of exploiting a "grossly undervalued" euro.
The country's €253bn (£215bn) trade surplus was the result of a 1.2pc rise in exports to €1.2 trillion, while imports only rose 0.6pc to €954.6bn, according to the federal statistics office.
The 2016 surplus surpasses the previous high of €244.3bn set in 2015.
Germany's 2016 current account surplus, which measures the total money flowing in and out of a country, of €266bn, surpassed China's last year, making it the world's largest.

Trump's team is, as usual, right in the sentiment but wrong in the detail. . The Euro is not undervalued as far as the rest of the EU is concerned, but it does give Germany a competitive advantage which it would not have had had it retained the DM. No wonder it is determined that the EU does not fall apart.

MaxK....."I am fed up with the delays...there was a clear vote"

After intermittently watching QT last night the constantly griping Owen Smith,
has to be one of the most negative anti-British snowflakes that is given airtime,
And just like lily alen, when a question came up on what you would say to these
'child' refugees, owen replied "I would appologise on behalf of the 'British'
people...Well I can assure you he does not speak for me..

jimmy b - 10 Feb 2017 08:42 - 6399 of 12628

Yes , a prize dick head and did we really need Billy Bragg on there .
I really can't see how people like Owen Smith have the gall to go on tv spouting their crap.

Did they make the audience see that before hand , doubt it .

"There Are None So Blind

Specsavers .

VICTIM - 10 Feb 2017 09:43 - 6404 of 12628

Haystack you must be mad if you want an election out of this .

Dil - 18 Feb 2017 09:19 - 6405 of 12628

Good to see Blair sticking his oar into the Brexit debate and further dividing the Labour Party and galvanising support amongst the Tories.

That blokes a God send to the Brexit camp being his immigration policy caused many Labour voters to vote for Brexit.

Hope he makes another speech next week.

Fred1new - 18 Feb 2017 09:22 - 6406 of 12628

Read the content of the speech and forget the personal abuse.

Dil - 18 Feb 2017 09:38 - 6407 of 12628

No abuse from me Fred I thought his speech was wonderful even if it was slightly delusional.

Lest he forgets it was largely the same electorate who voted him PM twice who he now has the cheek to accuse of not knowing what they voted for.

Pot kettle black springs to mind and what happened to the referendum that he promised us ? At least Cammy kept to his word.

Fred1new - 18 Feb 2017 09:59 - 6408 of 12628

If one sees somebody is attempting to commit suicide generally one would attempt to stop them from succeeding at least once or twice thus enabling them to review their proposed action.

I think the same applies to the referendum.

It seems a little similar to "acting in haste and repenting at leisure".

Many of those voting for leaving the "EU" reacting as adolescents who can't get their own ways on everything they demand.
