Should the UK remain a member of the EU

[Gnasher]

Are they trolling? I think Gove, Cummings and Johnson have such a high opinion of themselves that they cant help themselves.

 

 

[Bruce Spanner]

Will be interesting to see how many have a spine when the voting on the bill is done. 
 

Should still have enough of a majority to see it through, coupled with those in ‘Brexity’ towns not wanting to rock the boat with their constituents.

 

It’ll be thrown out at the lords reading I assume though?

Isn't the Attorney General supposed to represent the law in the HoC ?

Floella Benjamin would do a better job.

She’s really compromised herself by saying she supports this, disregarding international law is unconscionable if you have aspirations to be trusted and taken seriously.

 

Ironically as a member of the House of Lords Benjamin will be someone sticking the boot in.

Most people would be embarrassed on the words below from that thread, but I suspect that would make Johnson feel very pleased with himself

 

instead of debasing and damaging the UK with your grubby, vulgar Trump-tribute act

[Anubis]

Interesting thread Dougan has linked to.

On the same day these things are announced.

 

Britain is going to be transformed in to a cesspit within a year.

Couldn't make it up. Stricter state aid controls in the proposed deal with Japan yet are squabbling with the EU wanting ever more looser controls. I just don't believe this lot know what they're doing. There's nothing nefarious, they're just fucking shit.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Excellent thread summarising why the UK Internal Market Bill is so damaging and dangerous. 

 

 

 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

[Bruce Spanner]

Yup. The plan is essentially to have NI as our dumping ground, both in and out, whilst reducing workers right and protections. Make London the tax evasion capital of the world, via the already primed Jersey and Guernsey, and shaft every cunt who lives on this isle bar a small few. No job creation, protection or security all for a few fucking shekels!  

 

Let the Yanks come in and sweep up essential/necessary systems and services and ‘provide support and expertise’ To ‘failing systems’ when it gets, or most likely is engineered to look, critical.

The fix is in.

 

We can’t become a pariah state, surely? 
 

This in perpetuity with the dissolution of the Union.

 

 

[Anubis]

Trade deals going well for our sovereignty, I see.

 

 

 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

More from Prof. Dougan on the UK Internal Market Bill; this time, why it's a threat to the UK. 

 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I probably should clarify that when Dougan talks about "Brexit loons" he isn't talking about the voters.  He's talking, specifically, about the neoliberal extremist wreckers and racists on the right wing of the Tory Party and in the right wing media who are in charge of the process of threatening peace in Ireland, threatening the stability of the UK and creating the next Recession, so they can transfer even more power and money from the 99% to the 1%.

 

The people who voted for Brexit and voted the Brexit Loons into Government have served their purpose.  Johnson and his cronies are shitting all over them now.

Is anyone else thinking the preppers may have a point after what we witnessed in March?

Yes, absolutely. If this teaches us anything it’s how fragile society is. This virus is actually relatively not that dangerous (please, I know how bad it has been...) in comparison to what can quite easily happen. The mortality rate is, what, under 0.28%? And it’s not airborne (like smallpox, etc). It’s not difficult to imagine an event much more serious, be it a virus or something else. What if a virus hit with a 20% mortality rate, airborne, and undetected for a longer period. Our food supply, water supply, etc... all under threat. What about a solar flare that knocks out the Internet, electricity and electrical good across parts of the planet? 
 

They might be nuts, but it doesn’t mean they’re wrong.

It seems pretty logical to me. They wanted to make a splash by getting the Japan deal in. They won't give a fuck about breaking the treaty later as they'll just claim sovereignty blah, blah. Nobody is going to want to trade with us by the end of this term of government.

Sorry to remind you angry but Boris Johnson and most of these loons were not even in the cabinet never mind having a handle on power at the time of the EU vote.

The ERG weren’t in the cabinet were they?  

[Bruce Spanner]

Anybody watching the ‘debate’?

 

Absolutely pathetic, he’s lying through his teeth and almost smirking his way through it.

 

He’s pretty much accusing anybody who doesn’t vote for it unpatriotic, he’s gone full Diet Trump.

Makes sense for him to stand in as he’s been there and done it, so nerves shouldn’t be an issue.

 

My god Alex is such a pathetic, petulant little shit.

Sorry to remind you, but the Referendum wasn’t a General Election: whoever was or wasn't in the Cabinet is completely irrelevant.

 

Johnson and his cronies led the Leave campaign, then hampered every attempt at a Brexit with any sort of deal, then ran a General Election campaign on a promise to deliver a deal, which they are currently reneging on.

We did this exact same argument three pages back.

 

As before he was made to look silly.

Miliband rinsed him there, great to see. I thought Johnson was asleep at one point. He is such a petulant cunt.
