Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

[Dando]

Got 5 political flyers at once today in the mail for upcoming European Elections, no LibDem one though and no Brexit Party one either (thought they were both on a roll!), would've thought getting in first is important!

Anyway shared below -

Message I'm taking at first view (which is important, first impressions etc) -
Scottish Conservatives headline again is all about SNP/independence, little about themselves on headlines at least - seems to be Ruth Davidon's only tactic in all elections, no matter the level.
SNPs one doesn't even mention independence, just pro Scotland in EU, clear message.
Scottish Greens - very pro EU as well, maybe a bit offensive to leavers?
UKIP - well clearly anti EU, uphold Brexit. Clear enough.
Scottish Labour - goodness knows, something about uniting the UK

I'm going to see what's written on the side of one the parties buses before I decide who to vote for, as apparently if I don't like it I can moan about it for years after and say that they promised to do this that or the other even though they didn't

Bigoted website receives an overload of donations and you think it's great...

Superb...

Calling Wings a bigoted website just might not be the smartest thing you have done today.
He has loads of money to fight defamation cases.

Strange how it's ok to use these words when quoteing from the Tory Graph and the Daily Wail (by those that don't read them obviously) but to use them about a blog site that is closer to publishing racists comments far worse than anything idiot Farage spouts is just a tad bias.

I wonder, when brexit is done and things are the same as they were, what will people blame their woes on then?

Slow play, size of ball markers.

I couldn't help but smile at this BBC article - party by party guide for the European elections. They've chosen to list them in "alphabetical" order, which by including "the" in the party name (or not) when it suits them the pro-brexit groups are conveniently listed last.

Go on, tell me I'm creating bias where there is none.

Can’t blame you for finding a bias to suit your agenda ... we all do it all the time .. unfortunately some ejjiet will end up fact checking it (sorry)

The Conservative party, The Labour party...for example. Both called as such on their websites.

They all have The as part of their name, but the beeb chose to list them in a particular way to fit their agenda. #fact

What policies do The Brexit Party have anyway? I heard Farage wants to move to an insurance based healthcare system, is that a party policy does anyone know?

Do we not have that already...…or did I not pay national insurance every week for 42 years

Well NI is just a tax. Thankfully not insuring you personally which seems a hideous prospect.

Not for the faint Brexit hearted.. why pick on Farage when the rest of the crew is making stuff up? Also why this focus on the need to develop Wales ?

He's the leader of the party. He's clearly the focus.

Also why this focus on the need to develop Wales ?

Can you really not understand why a Welsh political correspondent would ask questions pertaining to Wales?

What next? Lab-con talks come to nothing.
Will it be the chosen one, bojo, to bring the no deal craved by so many?
Not a chance, once he has the actual responsibility he'll soon start rewinding .

Another who mistakenly believes EU grants come from a magic box in Brussels. The UK is a net beneficiary to the EU, we only get some of our money back.

Another one who mistakenly believes the Tories would ever stump up for the EU funded projects.
