The problem is the Tories, that's the real alpha and omega of the problem.   The referendum was called to quash the infighting that's riddled it for decades. Both leave and remain were front

I was thinking about this overnight. What I'm about to write may not find favour, but I also have a little bit of sympathy for Tommy Mair. He's done something heinous, and will pay for it, but did it

Can't remember who but someone once described him as having a broadsheet tongue with a tabloid mind.

U.K. Hopes of Speedy Brexit Deal Hit by EU-Singapore Ruling

Bloomberg 16 May 2017

The European Union’s top court said a free trade agreement with Singapore needs the approval of national parliaments before it can become legal, in a case widely seen as setting a precedent for the U.K. as it gears up to leave the bloc.

“The free trade agreement with Singapore cannot, in its current form, be concluded by the EU alone,” the EU Court of Justice said in a decision Tuesday. The Luxembourg-based court’s rulings are binding and can’t be appealed.

Singapore and the EU have been negotiating their free trade agreement since 2010. An adviser to the EU court already signaled in December that individual nations should also ratify it because some aspects, such as dispute settlement, labour and environmental standards and trade in air transport services, fall under national jurisdiction.

While the ruling is a setback for Singapore, it’s also important for the U.K., because it “will clarify a lot of issues that might arise when negotiating a long-term, post-Brexit trade deal between the U.K. and the EU,” said Steve Peers, a professor of EU law at the University of Essex.

Judges said EU nations must also have a say on the Singapore pact because the EU lacks exclusive rights to sign off on a deal covering non-direct foreign investment and a system on dispute settlement between investors and governments.

While the formal two-year countdown until Britain leaves the EU was triggered on March 29, European Commission PresidentJean-Claude Juncker said that the real political negotiations on Article 50 will start after the U.K. has held parliamentary elections on June 8. EU governments are debating a set of directives for the bloc’s negotiatorMichel Barnier, outlining the method and objectives of withdrawal talks.

I see Brexiteers whining.  I see the same cunts who demanded we leave the EU, because we had surrendered our sovereignty to unelected, faceless bureaucrats, spitting their dummies because the ECJ has upheld the sovereignty of Member States.

Deloitte are also saying office space in London is on the rise despite the prospect of cheaper rates post-Brexit. The country is screwed, just the right time to call a diversionary election.

I see that stupid cunt BJ fucked up again. What a fucking embarrassment. 

 

http://Sikh Woman, Balbir Kaur, Hits Out At Boris Johnson Over Gurdwara Alcohol Gaffe ‘Sikhs who vote for him are ignorant of their own religion’.

 

The worshipper who stood up to Boris Johnson after his blundering reference to alcohol in a Sikh temple has branded him “ignorant”.

Balbir Kaur, 62, hit out at the Foreign Secretary over his remarks on Wednesday about free trade of alcohol with India during a visit to a Gurdwara in Bristol, which was described as a “sensational gaffe”.

Speaking after the incident on Wednesday evening, the grandmother said: “How can Boris Johnson help the Sikhs?

“He can’t help them. The Tories are the ones that sent spies to bomb the Golden Temple, now they are trying to kill them by pouring drink in. 

“Sikhs who vote for him are ignorant of their own religion. They don’t know about the history of their ancestors.”

The 1984 Amritsar attack saw at least 400 people killed in a six-day armed intervention to expel militants from the sacred Golden Temple in northern India.

But Sikh groups have put the death toll in the many thousands and have alleged British involvement.

Former Prime Minister David Cameron pledged a review into the allegations and the Labour Party has pledged a full inquiry in its 2017 manifesto.

Kaur also criticised Johnson for wearing an orange turban to the Nirman Sewak Jatha-Sikh Temple, Bristol, to campaign for Tory candidate for Bristol East, Theodora Clarke. 

She said it was clear Johnson, who despite boasts of being married to an Indian woman, knew nothing about her religion. 

Recounting the moment she took a stand, Kaur, a baptised Sikh, said: “People were trying to get Boris to stop talking about alcohol. 

“Why pick on a community that is anti-alcohol to tell them that we are going to do free trade? 

“My heart was racing, I thought ‘I have got to tell him what I think of it.’ Something had to be said. 

“I just came out with it. When you are a baptised Sikh you have that inner strength.” 

A regular volunteer at the temple in St George, Bristol, Kaur said Johnson wearing an orange turban was degrading to the sacred garment, and a practice usually reserved for children who were unfamiliar with the religion. 

She said: “We do that on children so they can understand what young Sikh children will feel.

“Usually these people come from South Devon, they have not met many Sikhs. 

“It is a thing for a child but he is an adult - he’s the Foreign Secretary. He’s doing the negotiations for these alcohol plans.” 

Yet it is believed many in the room agreed with Johnson’s comments about a trade deal with India.

He has previously described the need to “turbo charge” relations with the country.

Not all Sikhs observe restrictions on alcohol and many in the temple were discussing their choice of favourite whisky.

A Conservative spokesman told HuffPost: “He was simply making the point that a free trade deal with for example India could be huge for both sides pointing out that in India billions of litres of whiskey are consumed every year but there is a [tariff of] 120% on imports of scotch whiskey.

“Wouldn’t it be great if we could have free trade.

“One lady expressed her views based on a personal situation but the other 30 attendees warmly welcomed his remarks.”

Steve Pound, Labour’s candidate for Ealing North said of the gaffe: “Once he was a clown, now he’s a calamity.”

He's every inch a 19th century Foreign Secretary. It's not just the undercurrent of racism and nationalistic arrogance that runs through almost everything he says, it's also the sense of entitlement that lets people of his class know that they will have access to the top jobs, without ever having to bother trying to be good at anything.

They'll probably all come back complaining that an English English breakfast isn't as good as a Spanish English breakfast and costs too much and the weather is shit.

 

And will have all cast their postal votes for the Tories because they hate foreigners and are too fucking dense to make the connection between Brexit and them having to leave their homes on the Costa Del Sol. All be blamed on the nasty Spanish who are only doing it to get their rock back
