Anyhoo, a bit of humour - a mash up of JRM (using his own words) singing Pulp's "Common People" (JRM likes it, he even re-tweeted it).

We're asking them to work with us on a solution, it has to be two way thing.

Utter rubbish - The Countries you speak of do not work together at all, what utter nonsense.

The EU is a power hungry Nazis like dictatorship that thankfully we in the UK are bold enough to decide on leaving.

Precisely - it is utter bollocks to say EU Member States work together for the whole of the EU's collective interest, like hell they do. Such a ridiculous claim.

Macron's popularity is consistently sub 30%, not surprised, he is an utter clown trying desperate measures to stop the persistent Yellow vest protests in the country, it's failed miserably and from the footage I've seen of the heavy handed approach the police in France take against the protesters, his presidency is an utter disgrace.

Give them a peoples vote and given them an opportunity to Frexit from the corrupted and cancerous EU Dictatorship.

Re: Brexit

Tusk accuses Brexiteers of not having a delivery plan (leaving doesn't need one). He conveniently forgets that the EU brought in the Euro without having a plan for fiscal union, meaning that the Euro sits on straw foundations now that Germany has run out of money to bail it out.

Re: Brexit

Mixed news for Labour on Brexit but like the Conservative Party, Brexit is tearing it apart as well
Quote:
The European Parliament’s Brexit chief has welcomed Jeremy Corbyn’s new EU exit plan and endorsed calls for a cross-party consensus in Westminster to prevent a no-deal.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-a8767931.html
Quote:
Two Labour MPs have said they are considering quitting the party in protest at Jeremy Corbyn's leadership.
Owen Smith and Luciana Berger both suggested they would resign if the Labour leader helps Theresa May take Britain out of the EU.
Mr Smith, a supporter of the campaign for a fresh referendum, said it was "possible" he would leave if Labour allows Brexit to happen, while Ms Berger repeatedly refused to rule out resigning.

Just a couple of idiots blustering and blowing with half hearted threats . . . have they still not realised that it isn't working anymore?

Nobody is listening to them

Re: Brexit

It is as muddy and murky as ever.

Corbyn's exit plan leaves us worse off than remaining.

Labour Remainers holding Smith/Berger type views don't understand democracy sufficiently in regard to the Leave result.

TM is going to get 4/5 of 5/8 of fall from the EU unless she threatens them properly with the £39bn.

What a Parliamentary & governmental mess.

Well what did you expect ? It's an impossible dream. Every type of Brexit leaves us worse off. It's reality check time.

Re: Brexit

We'll be much worse off staying in the EU it's imploding and it's just a matter of time they want as much out of the UK as they can get. The problem is they are worried they are trying everything they can to stop us leaving.

They aren’t trying hard at all. They’ve laid out a clear position we find unpalatable.
