I love the way those two seem to have the DESTRUCTION OF THE EU as an aspiration.

You are dealing with children*. Their whole world revolves around gaming memes and everything needs to be reduced to Call Of Duty style black and white simplicity for them to get their heads around it. The casual misogyny, overt bigotry and cargo cultism (especially crypto) are a hallmark.

Well that was interesting. Word of the day.

A fascinating phenomenon.


There is certainly a strong whiff of incel Jordy Peterson fan off the tiresome twosome.

Who do we think will bear the blunt of the blame? The EU or the "remoaners" in Parliament?

davedanon

Oh both. But especially the Evil Eumpire.

More "predictions"...

I'd be the last person to use the polls as a guide to public opinion but the polls in the UK appear to show that the majority of people still want to leave. I can see Boris remaining as PM after the general election in December. If that were to happen, he could well have a big enough majority meaning they will be gone come the end of January.

I think anyone who is being honest will admit that it is pretty disgraceful what has happened in the UK these past few weeks. Parliament was blatantly trying to prevent the will of the people.

There have been arguments that the electorate did not know what they were voting for in 2016 which I don't believe one bit. One thing is for sure, everyone knows what they are voting for in this general election.

At what point will you accept that 'the will of the people' is superseded (and always was) by the 'will of parliament'.

Nobody had any business promising the people that the referendum result was anything but legally 'non binding'.

That’s as good a reason as any to have a confirmatory referendum on the deal

I see you edited your post and the word 'appear' appeared. Okay, can you link to polls that "appear" to show the majority want to leave?

"I think anyone who is being honest will admit that it is pretty disgraceful what has happened in the UK these past few weeks."

As it happens, this statement is true. But not for the reason stated.

If a border poll showed that the majority in Northern Ireland wished to form a united ireland, would you say the same thing?
