Should the UK remain a member of the EU

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Hmm, I don't get it either. If the fence represents indecision on an issue, she's saying they're going to make it impossible for people to avoid a binary choice? Or is the destruction of the fence seen as a uniting of both sides? Or, are they going to smash the fence down to get to the other side?

 

Or it's a soundbite no one thought through.

It's like a concetto / conceit.

What does this mean?

It's the message that Labour has been consistent on. The real division isn’t between people who voted one way or the other in 2016; it's between the tens of millions who are on the shitty end of our fucked-up political and economic system and the few thousand who are doing nicely out of it. Bringing people together is more important than seeking to further divide them by pandering to extremist Remainers or Brexiteers.

A fence always - even in the idiom "sitting on the fence" - represents something that divides people.

I think what it means is they'll destroy everything. Which in fairness is consistent with what they've been doing over the last 20 years.

That's not true. I think the country is best served by being in the EU. It is therefore encouraging to me that parties arguing most vociferously for that are doing well.

 

That a full third of the country are a dead loss is not great, but it's not surprising either. 52% of people voted to Leave, if you recall.

Change uk are whatever the chuka mob are called are currently polling about 3%

Tories are fucked whatever they do but Labour have a small ray of hope. They just have to do what their membership asked them to do.

Much posturing for good and against evil.

Marvellous.

[Section_31]

The chief sports writer of the Telegraph was getting a lot of love for a Tweet recently where he ingeniously pointed out that following recent successes in Europe, lots of our footy clubs have foreign players yet some fans conveniently forgot this when it came to expressing xenophobia and what not. 

 

I pointed out to him, with no response of course, that he worked for the Barclay Brothers. 

 

It's kind of like one of the Communards bemoaning high pitched singing.

Marr looks gutted that he couldn’t fish out a simplistic answer that he could then run with. His entire game was to try to get him to trip up so he could be misrepresented. Well handled by Corbyn.

I see good old Hodgey is publicly calling for people to vote for anybody but Labour. You'd imagine that she's breached some sort of party rule in doing that? Time to kick her out. But, we all know what she'll claim if that happens. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

"Bollocks to Brexit!" 

 

 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

There's the temper neg. 

 

But...But...I thought politician's old comments about Brexit was a thing? 

 

Maybe not?

Negged by Stronts. 

 

Come on, softlad, tell us why you think there's something wrong with that post.

Shoppers should pay a transaction charge of 1p when they use a self-checkout machine to heal the generational divide caused by Brexit, a group of MPs has said.

The parliamentary panel on social integration, chaired by Chuka Umunna, who defected from the Labour Party in February to found Change UK, made the proposal in a report released last week.

The charge would be "to counteract potential damage caused by a lack of everyday contact between people" and could raise £30m to be spent on projects that promote social inclusion.

Tom Ironside of the British Retail Consortium, the trade body for supermarkets, dismissed the proposal. "A new tax, particularly one that penalises modern shopping behaviour, will harm both consumers and retailers at a time when retailers are rightly focused on delivering the best value for shoppers," he said.

Mr Umunna said: "We all know that Brexit has been incredibly divisive but what we have seen over the course of this inquiry suggests that generational division extends far beyond the realm of politics into our daily lives."

Antony Hawkins of The Challenge, a social integration charity, said: "Our society is divided along many fault lines so it is great to see this group delve deep into the reasons for divisions between the ages and offer suggestions on how we bridge that gap."

The group's report also proposed a tax break for people who commit to a minimum number of hours of volunteering each week.
