Brexit means Brexit.
Fight for it.

Most of those who despise this PM will not be surprised by the betrayal that is about to be unleashed upon the British people. May’s an offence on many levels. Her liberal left enthusiasm knows no bounds. Her capacity for mendacious and sinister politics is unlimited.

Since she became PM I noted a few what may seem minor changes since my party idiotically elected this person as our leader. Her statement about how we will be judged by how we treat so called minorities sounded ominously like a threat. Victim based politics is the politics of social control and a hatred for freedom of expression.

Secondly, the removal and replacement of Eurosceptic editors at the Mail and the Express. And in an instant both newspapers that had been Eurosceptic for decades are now miraculously Europhile. I find this development as disturbing as any I have seen. It suggests direct political interference in how the media is composed. Erdogan and Putin would be proud of May’s direct approach

The stupidity of the political class that they think we would not notice these changes

This country is dead. It’s moral base has been deliberately undermined and replaced by a political construct.

No, it’s not dead. We people who love our country are the same. It is honour and integrity among politicians that is dead. It was never very robust, but now it has ceased to be (present company excepted).

Shy tott the good news he leaving his Advfn handle and password to me in his will . It is currently valued at £50, I have strict instructions to call out Jacko and Stoned you . Funny how you did not make it on to Minerve B list.

Shy Tott is still sulking from not being able to understand my very simple answer! LOL

[shy tott] 24/2/2019 15:42

Yes, repulsive is a good word for Minerve. I just wonder why he is so filled with hatred. Mid life crisis maybe, the time he discovers he's a nobody when he had dreams of being a somebody. Success eluded you, shame, but not unexpected. Little intelligence, no social skills, the odds were always against you. It doesn't seem to occur to you that in 10 years when many old people will be dead (and unfortunately many young and middle aged too), you'll likely be in old age too, wishing yourself dead no doubt, or at least wondering why you spent 24/7 posting on the internet.

I hope the Brexiteers do not fall for May's last minute deceitful strategy.

She will come back at the last minute to say the Backstop has been removed from the agreement ( because it is just a red herring in the first place) and the ERG and others will then vote for the dreadful so called agreement.

There have been plenty of posts to show that the Draft Agreement is all about tying us into the EU even more than we are now, but with no say and no means to get out.

If the Brexiteers fall for this set-up, then the UK will have to wait until the next General Election to go through this all over again.

The difference is we will then have to vote for a government which is prepared to unilaterally cancel an International Agreement.

Governments can not bind subsequent governments to their decisions.

In less than a decade, some people will have died from obesity and related causes due to sitting all day at their "jobs" every day 365 days a year.

The logic of your deduction . . .- "Couple of generations and its game over." . . would have to assume that none of the subsequent births from these folk had British Nationality by birth. (Just like the millions of us here now are decendents of invaders / immigrants from earlier days).

All of us invested here and waiting patiently for several years, didnt need Buxton to tell us LLoyds can generate large profits, what we could have done with being told 5 years ago though was that when the profits start to drop through we will hold the share price down and withhold your dividends so that we can buy back our shares and make life easier for the directors in the future.
How many of us would be invested here had we been told that?
If a 25% uplift in profit is only worth a 5% increase in dividend how long does Buxton reckon it will take to reach his 5p divi???
They told us last year the buy back was worth an extra 1.xp on the dividend!!!!!
Last time I looked I am 10p a share down on this time last year.

Peston:

The PM has chosen 12 March for two reasons.

First the date is before the day scheduled by the Cooper Letwin plan for a commons vote on legislation to delay Brexit.

So in theory, MPs would be voting on her deal knowing that if they reject it, they could force her to return to Brussels to beg EU leaders to delay the moment we leave the EU.

Now this will be seen by some Brexiters as the prime minister adopting the Machiavelli playbook.

Because the PM will in essence be saying to her Brexiter critics in the ERG “back my deal or risk seeing Brexit postponed, perhaps forever”.

She will be defining the choice as her Brexit or a delayed Brexit that could morph into no Brexit - which is what Robbins also swaggered about in that Brussels bar.

Her hope is only a few Tory Brexiters would ultimately take the risk of Brexit never happening and that most would at the last vote even for her reviled Withdrawal Agreement.

Of course for this helpful moment of truth to materialise for May, MPs would have to do what the PM claims she does not want them to do, which is to vote for the Cooper Letwin amendment on Wednesday that would then put legislation to delay Brexit to Parliament.

Hilariously, the PM does not actually want to delay Brexit - but she would like MPs to prepare the ground for a delay to Brexit, so that she can use this as a rod to beat the ERG.

All of which creates big dilemmas for Labour and other opposition parties when deciding on whether to back the Cooper Letwin amendment this week - in that in doing so they would improve the chances of the PM ultimately securing parliamentary backing for her deal, which is a deal they hate.

In other words the PM has set up Wednesday’s vote on Cooper Letwin as of massive historic importance.

Because of course if Cooper Letwin flops, the rejection of her reworked deal on 12 March would see no-deal Brexit as the default option, rather than Brexit delay or no Brexit.

And that brings me to the second reason why 12 March is the last felicitous date for her: it is the eve of the Chancellor’s spring statement. That statement would be converted into an emergency budget if her deal was voted down and we faced the economic shock of a no-deal Brexit - so that Philip Hammond could endeavour to cushion the expected blow to our prosperity.

So for an orderly negotiated Brexit, 12 March is the ides - the day it lives or dies, one way or another.

I don't need to move anywhere. In less than a decade many of Jacko's generation will be 6ft under. Just bide my time for the silly generation to go where they deserve! ;)

Tweets from Tom ND confirming the above:

The PM has landed in Sharm El-Sheikh. Two big bits of news from the flight:
1. She has refused our repeated offers to slap down Rudd, Gauke and Clark: “What we’ve seen around the Cabinet table is strong views on the issue of Europe. That’s not a surprise to anybody”.

2. She is imploring Remain rebels to give her two more weeks to get a better deal. Announces a new Meaningful Vote on it will be held by March 12 (when there will be just 17 days to go until Brexit 😬).

[polar fox] 24/2/2019 13:32

TM has just said that she won't be bringing a deal to Parliament this week. Also, that there will be a MV by March 12, which presumably means not before March 12, given the game she's playing. Parliament needs to take some action this coming week...

I would strongly encourage you to watch The Hunt (2012 film). It stars Mads Mikkelsen (Le Chiffre, Casino Royale) and is sub-titled. It is worth the watch. It shows what can happen when people like you create false targets through mass hysteria.

I posted on Friday, that the format of my MBNA credit card paper statement is going to be changed next month to the same format as my Lloyds Bank credit card paper statement.

Today, I logged into my MBNA account for the first time since they finished re-vamping the site over several days. And the format/layout has been changed so that it is the same as my Lloyds Club, savings and credit card accounts. In other words, they can fully integrate MBNA into Lloyds any time they choose; for example, they can readily add my MBNA account to my Lloyds online account summary. And I'm willing to bet, it won't be long!

What's your opinion on halal food Minerve and those that sell it.

[minerve] 24/2/2019 11:30

Which demographic do you think uses hospitals the most?

[minerve] 24/2/2019 11:29

LOL!

What a stupid comment.

[kenbachelor] 24/2/2019 11:21

Without immigration the NHS would be very cheap to run. There would be very few hospital staff to pay and therefore very few hospitals.
