Is Brexit actually going to happen?

[Sparkle Motion]

I recall the polls were generally in favour of Remain before the referendum campaign. Add in an assumption that Project Fear would work in the same way as Scotland, then you can see why Cameron would think it a safe bet. Maybe Scots could see and experience more direct cultural and economic links with rUK than England could with the EU.

It's weird that whoever made that statue thought it would be cool for Theresa May to have 3 tits.

Why are you sneering at him?

 

[redsquirrel]

I don't know, maybe it's his pushing such a strong neo-liberal, pro-privatisation agenda in education that even filth like Ruth Kelly found too extreme, his pushing of HE fees, his support for Iraq, his support for policies that increased inequality and reduced social mobility.

No, you miss this idiots point - you're not allowed sneer. It's only for the likes of him and the powerful to sneer at pretty powerless leave voters.

As ever, it's not the behaviour but whose doing it that's the problem for these standards types.

 

[toblerone3]

Why shouldn't you sneer at lord adonis?

Because it makes you look kind of dumb.

Are you defending anti-socialist politics again?

Lefties so blinded by their desire to overturn brexit that they end up lending their support to the likes of Adonis, Major, Blair.

Everyone knows that the correct thing to do when a LORD is speaking is to curtsey, doff your cap and agree.

Lefties so blinded by their desire to overturn brexit that they end up lending their support to the likes of Adonis, Major, Blair.

Lefties so blinded by their support for Brexit that they end up lending their support to Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Lord Rothermere, Rupert Murdoch, John Redwood, Daniel Hannan, Douglas Carswell, Michael Gove, Boris Johnston, The Queen (reportedly), The British National Party, Ian Duncan Smith, The Weatherspoons Bloke, Lord Ashcroft, Lord Lawson, Lord Tebbit...

You can agree with someone on one issue without granting them Papal infallibility and joining their armed group to force them through them as next Supreme Leader for life.

ADONIS FOR EVER! ALL HAIL EMPEROR ANDREW!

If people still seriously don't get the difference between a yes/no referendum where people voted remain or leave for different reasons, including those of us on the left who argued reasons to leave whilst attacking the right, and dreadful liberal positions after the event where they actively side with the right to argue overturning the result then I really lose the will to live.

I was gonna say...people who support rees-mogg, kilroy-silk and johnson...fucking nerve.

always perfect in their own eyes

I mean...literally...always perfect in their own eyes, everyone else is always wrong, they're always right, the rules don't apply. Everyone else has to answer questions, they don't.

You had the whole global establishment. So we will win this battle.

 

[StigoftheDig]

How you can seriously say "the whole global establishment" when you had the bloke from Weatherspoons.

 

[stethoscope]

I mean, if you're seriously going to argue overturning brexit or to have a 2nd referendum, at least do it on the grounds of socialist/left arguments too, but not this terrible 'Blair/Adonis/Major/Osborne is SO right on this' shite.

There's no a. Likewise border.

No-one even mentioned Adonis until someone had a snipe at him for being a Lord!

Grief. I'll have philosophical back at this rate.

 

[toblerone3]

So anybody whose politics you don't like is not allowed to express a view on Brexit without being sneered at. That's going to narrow the electorate down quite drastically. You are so sour-minded. Stop being so miserable!
