Is Brexit actually going to happen?

[andysays]

he is a massive twat who crayons all over threads with stuff they don't understand?

She, but yeah, this. It's particularly bizarre that they've accused various posters of racism on utterly spurious grounds and think it's OK to post the above...

They also have numerous posters on ignore, so may not have read my post.

Sunlit uplands. From a churchill speech. You know how the tories love that old monster

changed her name to sunlight

I think so. But fuck knows.

I'm taking it as read that she won't even come up with a compromise that allows the bulk of Labour MPs to vote with her, though as you say, fuck knows. Which, if that's the case, means she's reducing the next vote down to 'what can I put in to get flint, mann and the rest, without losing too many of the tory balm pots'.

I think the irony is that if it was a secret ballot in the commons, the Corbyn plan would probably come out as most preferred option. It's just never going to happen. Anyway, the period through to when some or no deal is finalised in 50 days (?) isn't going to show humanity in its finest light.

((((Rats in a sack))))

strange you should say 'rats in a sack' as that's the preferred option of where to put mps on 30 march.

based on a poll of 1847 voters around the country, weighted for demographic reasons, who were asked on the weekend of 9/10 february

I feel like I can cautiously support that proposal.

 

[CRI]

So, May has 'rejected' Corbyn's proposal, not surprisingly, but is talking about 'common ground'. For Example:
Brexit: May has ruled out Corbyn's customs union plan – minister
So, where does that leave us? She's hoping to get a version of 'her' deal through, with a sprinkling of fake workers/environmental protection, to get enough Labour MPs onboard to displace the ultra-swivelists who will vote against? Not sure how that fits in the timetable, possible extensions and the rest, but is that her strategy now?

It's game playing. May wants to push Corbyn to compromise so she can get "her" proposal through, and split the Labour party as a bonus. Corbyn wants May to compromise to get "his" Brexit through, while spitting the Tories as a bonus. Neither will succeed. Clock is ticking and prospect of No Deal crash out increases with every day of fannying about, and the infrastructure of the UK is utterly unprepared for that so, fun times ahead, eh?

That sounds about right for the way we're headed, as in . . .

CRI, would you mind clarifying what you meant by posting that up?

 

[CRI]

WTF are you posting this racist nonsense for?

Christ - Sunlight is written on the advert. Plenty who support Brexit seem keen to return to the "good old days" of those adverts with the shite they spout, so there you go.

they seem keen to return to antediluvian advertising? where has anyone said that? not even nigel farage has suggested that.

 

[DotCommunist]

Just posting racist cartoon ads to own the racists.

Once more with gusto. It is an advertisement for Sunlight soap from the early 20th Century. Someone made a comment about "Sunny Uplands" being "Sunlight Uplands." As I said, going by the racist shite spouted particularly by No Deal supporting folks, they'd like to return to the good old days celebrated in adverts like that one.

Not forgetting the bribery of labour MPs in areas voting Leave. If turned down, the tory hopefuls at the next election will doubtless accuse the MPs of failing to inject money into the local economy that was there for the taking.

Fixed that for you.

Fuck me, this thread needs a fainting couch and smelling salts.

 

[SpineyNorman]

what it really needs is for you to stop posting your irrelevant drivel.

That is completely spurious. There’s “plenty” who want to return to the days of racist adverts? Where are you getting this from?

Oh, that’s right. Your imagination.

Stop posting up shite with absolutely no reason. It wasn’t even tenuous; it was completely uncalled for.

You chose an explicitly racist portrayal. Is that what you think no dealer or leavers want to return to - that leavers are racists? Is that the people on this thread? You chose to put something explicitly racist on the thread, could at least explain why you think that's what you imagine represents 'the good old days' to leavers.

The good old days is jumpers for goalposts, veg bought in lb and oz and white dog poo.

cri, as she tediously reminds everyone on US threads, grew up in the states so she gets nostalgic for racism, slavery and segragation. Like her hero Hilary.

I mean, you're right, but I've never understood your fascination with dog poo

I had day surgery this morning in Northallerton and the anaesthetist came round to see me beforehand. I had urban open on my phone, at Unread Threads. He spied that How Much Does a Poo Weigh was in the list and gave me a rather strange look.

No obsession but I will resist anything the EU bureaucrats try to foist upon us. Like for example the dogshit and curly wurly act of 2003, which mandated that henceforth all dogshit must be brown (they even included those little sample things paint shops have to show which colours are acceptable). It also reduced the length of a curly wurly to 3 inches. They were about 7 foot long before that the bastards!

Have you not seen social media posts, the comments on tv and radio, etc., from people who support leave and reports of racist and xenophobic attacks from people who support leave - especially the No Deal version of it? I mean, you don't have to look hard to find examples.

And are people here so delicate that every criticism of Leave supporters has to be predicated by a "not all Leavers" caveat? Cripes. If you support leaving - even no deal and you "know" you aren't racist, it's not about you!

For those having palpitations from the advert I posted for Sunlight soap - drawing attention to racism =/= racism.

 

[danny la rouge]

drawing attention to racism =/= racism.

But there was no racism on the thread before you posted your picture.

So basically some people somewhere are racist therefore it's appropriate to post racist cartoons on this thread? Glad we cleared that up
