Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

[Jamesbrown]

Interesting level of support for Jo Swinson on the Metro letters page this morning. Apparently if the Limp Dims get in and cancel Brexit, that will be democracy because the people voted them in.

I love the way that these people can completely ignore my the results of democratic votes that don’t go their way in favour of those that do.

What’s more worrying is the fact that none of them appear to be able to see past Swinson using the current situation to her advantage by making this offer. We know little or nothing else of what else they propose but on the basis of one issue they are doing quite well.

As a leaver and Conservative member for the remainder of this year.
I agree that it would be democracy if she got in as PM. If brexit doesn’t happen on the 31st then the general election will certainly be a second referendum in disguise.
Boris needs to rethink about joining forces with Sir Nigel Farage.

Just been browsing the BeeB business articles.

1. Inflation down
2. Wage growth up
3. Unemployment down
4. House prices holding firm

Despite brexit.

Forgive me, but I'd like to know what progress since 2016 has been made on Brexit?
Please update me.

Laws passed so it's legal, then 600 odd tossers have acted like big kids for the last three years so we're kinda at a stalemate.

All as a member of the EU

OK then - there is plenty benighted about him (and that's not how you spell knight)

Thought Macron and the French were going to block any extension - maybe they still will. Typical French - can't trust 'em.

European Parliament lawmakers on Wednesday (Sept 18) voted overwhelmingly in favour of another Brexit delay if Britain requests one and certain conditions are met, after European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker told the chamber that a no-deal scenario remains "very real".

Er, What!

Interesting - at least one of the Supreme Court judges is clearly harbouring concerns over the precedent that will be set when they rule in favour of the government. Wonder if they'll set out clearly the line that must not be crossed in respect of their judgement and that they consider the government to have not crossed here - in the event that a government tries this again.

Been following it, and seen some very interesting and searching question but didn't really pick up any concerns. Thought the point made by one of the judges about who can recall Parliament if the MP's can't was pointed, i.e. who has supremacy if Parliament isn't sitting. And added a question about is it right that the Queen gets dragged into should she shouldn't she, and should that authority sit with a court when Parliament is prorogued?

Yesterday I was ridiculed for considering that the people hurling racial abuse in that Twitter video might have been plants.

Then onto today... You may have seen in the news about the dad who confronted Boris about the state of the nhs (quite correctly I may add)..... Well it turns out that the dad is an anti Brexit labour activist who has been pictured with John McDonnell (again discussed yesterday). Pure coincidence?

I seen your post and it did make me think!!
Has it got to such a low standard as that == nobody knows is the correct answer.

But that’s what China has been doing in Hong Kong
Have we got that low .

Pity he isn’t a Liberal Democrat.
Or is he ?

If I posted what I think Juncker is I'd probably get an infraction 😣

And dad with a 7 year old daughter that was admitted the night before.

Whatever his political affiliations are I don't think he's a plant. And under those circumstances why can't he vent?

However, if you do a search on meetings disrupted by political activists you'll find plenty of evidence. Also, I think the Beeb have taken a few bruises about the audiences for Question Time.

.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he IS a plant.... I saw the story and again it made me question if there was anything below board about the chances of having a 1-1 audience with the pm.

What the man is going through with his child is horrendous and you're 100% right he does have the right to vent.

My mum was a geriatric nurse for over 40 years, so it's a subject close to my heart based on her experiences.
