Should the UK remain a member of the EU

[AngryOfTuebrook]

When are the EU due to respond to Johnson's letter and offer an extension?

[sir roger]

I heard tomorrow , said most want to end of January but Macron resisting.

Even though the election will be about Brexit. The Johnson deal and the Lib Dems appointing  a former austerity minister for slashing employment rights will come back to haunt them. Workers rights, healthcare, privatisation, the environment and education should dominate the election most are entwined within Johnsons Brexit deal. 

 

Things like Johnson wants to slash your annual holiday to ten days but now former employment minister in the coalition government wants your vote she claims to be on the opposite side etc.

The current politicians, especially those populist Tories, have fucked it a little bit for sure.

What a time to be alive!

 

Hardline Remainers haven't covered themselves in glory, either.

 

If only there were a political party trying to stem the dangerous tide of polarisation on this one issue...

[Bobby Hundreds]

Most voters my arse! That seems like a horrible poll designed to build even more layers of hate up on hate in the media.

[Duff Man]

I'd like to give Boris a good kicking, but it's not really Brexit related.

We should implement the Game Of Thrones Protocol and start sounding out Manchester, Leeds, and (offering them the opportunity to hang Ashley) Newcastle.

 

We can band together against Kings Landing down on the Thames, offer a break away alliance with the Wildlings north of Hadrian’s Wall, and stick with our grand alliance with the Eastern Kingdoms across the North Sea and English Channel.

 

Ourselves and Newcastle can offer port facilities to the east and west. Manchester a distribution hub, and Leeds as a financial gateway to Europe. Hell, see if Wales want to throw in with us.

The Tories can keep calling for elections until they get the result they want. Isn't that exactly what brexiters have been saying as to why we shouldn't have another referendum. May had an election just accept the result Boris, it's the will of the people. Fixed term.

What the hell is a hardline remainer?

Somebody who wants to keep the status quo re our relationship with the EU?

I don't think so

Ridiculous expression

You need to come down as far as Sheffield and you'll want Hull as your main port to the east.

Not just someone who wants to keep the status quo. (I'm one of those, but I don't consider myself hardline.)  Someone who ignores or dismisses the half of the population who disagree with them, rather than trying to find some sort of room to agree a compromise - Alistair Campbell or the Lib Dems, for example.

A hardline remainer would be signing us up to the Euro, Schengen and a so far imaginary EU army. 

 

Remain as we are is the sane, fuck all changes, central position. 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Actually, I'd say "remain as we are" isn't good enough. 

 

Half the 2016 electorate voted out. No doubt some were motivated by greed, racism and stupidity, but millions will have been motivated by genuine grievances with the political and economic status quo (grievances they have been gulled into blaming on immigrants and EU lawmakers).

 

As well as remaining in the EU, we need to understand and tackle those grievances. 

 

The people I call hardliners are those who act as though remaining in the EU, at all costs, is the only thing that matters.

That's the most ridiculous bit about 'Change UK' and supposedly progressive Lib Dems- they're just arguing for the status quo, as if everything was fine.

The sooner all those bitter bastards die off, the better.

 

@A Red let the hate flow through you, like a good bitter bigotted unionist should. A United Ireland is on the way within a generation. Make your plans to leave now.

Fair enough

What about if you now want a federal Europe and a European army but feel you still need a referendum?

Gnash would be the first conscript to the glorious European army and would glorify in his role of corporal (1st class) of the 1st Brigade of Walloon and Utzenberg stationed on permanent latrine duty in the glorious republic of Trans Dneiper

Well if the Provos who disbanded in 1997 can beat the brits then the still active Cornish National Liberation Army will fancy their chances. Rick Steins restaurant was just the beginning.
