Nice thought but apparently he was just being a bit dozy!

Erm well actually not like that Crooked witch. - There was an investigation in to her alleged crimes - and she did actually breach several statutes, i.e the mishandling of classified material, the FBI under dodgy leadership at the time, i.e James Comey (Fired) and Andrew McCabe (Fired and under Federal Investigation), decided not to indict her, where actually she should have been because of the violations of statutes that cover Classified Material, under U.S law.

Anyway - you are typically off topic, I suggest you get back on it.

So here goes.

1) Never said Arron Banks should not be investigated. I merely commented on the issue of Banks being investigated and suggesting Remainers are typically clutching at straws hoping it will stop Brexit, which it will not, nor should it.

2) Never said the leaflet was illegal.

Dodgy - yes deffo and that's as far as I am willing to travel - unlike some, calling people criminals before they have actually gone to trial and been successfully convicted.

Sorry, Mick.
We both hope that Arron Banks isn't guilty so let's agree on that.
But moral equivalence is no defence and you're using it twice here. Damien is right to call this out.

A debating point. It's certainly been reported.

I think that there could well be civil disobedience if we leave or if we remain and if we do get a vote or don't get a vote on the deal too.

Cameron created this divisive mess and then walked away. There was speculation today that he wanted to make a comeback, which he denies. I hope he's telling the truth.

Of course they guvmin & EU are denying it, but then they would.

If both parties have denied it, then there's precious little to comment upon. As a general point, I think the EU would like some kind of access to some areas of the UK financial services sector whilst it develops its own infrastructure.

A typical reply.

That'll be a first time experience for him.

UK and Ireland signal Irish border Brexit deal could be agreed soon
Simon Coveney, Ireland’s deputy prime minister and foreign affairs minister, and David Lidington, the UK Cabinet Office minister, said on Friday evening that recent progress in negotiations could resolve the backstop imbroglio and produce a deal this month...
Neither side gave specific detail but Coveney hinted that the EU’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, was willing to accommodate certain British concerns,adding that London needed to show more flexibility.
Informed sources, however, indicated that a deal over a customs-arrangement for the entire UK was a “live issue” which would assuage fears over a hard border.

A side-effect of omething they put it in the water at Eton, I believe.
