HoC: Goeffrey Cox - Attorney General, trying to make a Pompey-like pre Battle Speech, fails and only makes it sound like POMP.

You'll have to do better than that, Aceuk, although I don't think that you can.

Only a revolution can save British politics now

The Conservatives have taken their voters for granted

When Brexiteers wake up tomorrow, the ghastly reality that Britain is still a member of the EU will sink in. Those empty promises made by Theresa May that we would leave the bloc at 11pm this evening – deal or no deal – will doubtless echo in their minds. The sense of betrayal will be palpable.

I have never known such levels of anger and disgust at our political class as exist now. Remain-backing MPs seizing control of the House of Commons agenda this week marked a new low. And yet even after hijacking Parliament in that horribly arrogant way, these anti-democrats could not find a majority for anything! I don’t know whether to laugh or to...

Just shows how democratic you Brextremists are (17.4 million want democracy) when you are quite prepared to let seventy million people be held over a barrel by a dozen or so in Wetsminster with a leader who is not even present, nor can be - MADNESS.

Thing is, we've paid in £200bn NET since we joined, AND THAT'S NOT IN TODAY'S 'MONEY', Germany's probably paid in even more, then there's other N.European countries paying in. So what did all that do for Europe??

I'm well in favour of a European Free Trade organisation, and sharing of best practice, but this madness that we have at the moment where we're regulated to extreme and where politics takes precedence over real life is not something that can be tolerated any longer. It's become a very expensive game for gravy-training politicos.

Anyone listen to Radio Four this morning? Lord King was interviewed by JH about Brexit. Basically, he said that our position had been badly handled, and that we should have been discussing the future of the EU more than our alleged woes post Brexit. Eurozone countries were suffering badly from this great Union.

He also said that he saw no reason why the UK should suffer economically from leaving the EU, and that there had been lots of scare-mongering. But listen to it here, it will take 7 minutes of your precious time. Starts at 0836/7.

“And Juncker infamously said to her ‘Well, how can you guarantee me that you won’t be replaced by somebody like Boris Johnson or Jacob-Rees Mogg?’

Daily Express

And I like both those. Boris or JRM for PM


Still think Farage for PM is best.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

17+ MILLION VOTED TO LEAVE

17 million is a big political movement and has significant purchasing power. Time to start to think about using this.

And there are Dutch bulbs to think about. Dutch Tulips
REALLY THINK HARD BEFORE BUYING ANYTHING from EUSSR
Spanish holiday. Irish holiday. French wine. Belgian chocolate. Think. Etc

The People, at least 17 million can act as well as Parliament.

People. Gloves off. Time to BOYCOTT the EU. The Elite have crushed and twisted and swindled our Democracy. But the People have teeth too and it is time to bare them,

This 'Withdrawal Agreement' cobbled together by May and a two-faced Conservative Party is trying to fob off the The Referendum Result and sell this 'agreement' with Fear.

But in effect it is REMAIN all dressed up in new clothing and method. This will never be harmonious, and now may be the time to consider various campaigns such as whether to buy German cars for example. 17 million voted against staying in the EU. That is a lot of buying power. Think before buy now.

Campaign. The politicians have not listened. The Economic War. THE PEOPLE RULE OK!

German cars and apes


German cars unfinished business


And there is the consideration of Continental European wine. Many fine and exciting wines found outside Europe.

The EUSSR has stated publicly it wants to HURT the UK. We too can HURT the EUSSR too, particularly Germany and Vichy France. Spanish holiday. Irish holiday. French wine. Belgian chocolate. Think.


The People can vote and not be listened to. BUT THE PEOPLE CAN ACT . Think before buying from the EUSSR

Pass it on. BOYCOTT the EUSSR. Tusck wants us to go to Hell – the very Gestapo and Mafia thinking that still lies at the heart of the EUSSR

Pass it on.

Today, Theresa May will meet with the Leaders of EU member states, pleading with them to allow an extension of Article 50 to June 30.

UKIP Leader Gerard Batten said,

"Mrs May is off to Brussels once again to humiliate our country in front of the world. Her plan is simple - secure a delay until June 30 to avoid another European Election and press Parliament into a corner of either accepting her surrender document and the short delay, or an indefinite delay to Brexit, or perhaps even revocation of Article 50.

"We can and should leave on March 29, and in 2017 the Prime Minister said she would walk away without a deal if needs be. She has conveniently forgotten her grandstanding and is hell-bent on pushing through her 'deal' which would reduce the United Kingdom to the status of a vassal state.

"Whatever happens, UKIP is ready to fight any election which may come, and we are focussed on the upcoming by-election in Newport West which will be the first opportunity for the people to voice their discontent against Theresa May and her betrayal of Brexit."

Another day, yet another debate on Brexit

By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: MARCH 29, 2019

The government has decided to relaunch its deeply unpopular Withdrawal Agreement with new scares. MPs are being told there could be a General election, a big delay to Brexit, a no deal Brexit or revocation of Article 50, depending on who they are and what they most fear. The good news is most of the fears are contradictory and many of the more extreme Remain ones fanciful.

The government reports to Eurosceptics almost with pleasure the progresss of the Letwin -Labour provisional coalition government which ran the highly successful debate and vote on options on Wednesday. This proved that if you give a lot of Remain leaning MPs a range of Remain leaning options they cannot agree on their preferred one. They tell us they could do worse things in the future. Surely the official coalition government can do a bit better and wrestle control of business back to itself? And why cant it use the privileges of government to prevent backbench legislation against government policy?It would help if the government dropped the bad Withdrawal Agreement which has created needless tensions with the DUP.

Todays debate and vote shows the government has been too clever by half. It decided to bring back the Withdrawal Agreement without the Political Declaration in the belief that it is the Declaration that annoys Labour MPs more than the Withdrawal Agreement. The government hopes Labour rebels will swell its vote. They also hope that by holding the vote on a Friday when many MPs are used to being in their constituencies quite a lot of its critics may not turn up.

The Political Declaration is referred to in the Withdrawal Agreement and is an integral part of the deal with the EU. Under the EU withdrawal Act they need to have a vote on both together, so today’s vote does not provide legal suppport in UK law. Labour are on to this. The government also refuse to publish the Withdrawal Agreement Bill, presumably because it would show just how controlled by the EU we would be if we were stupid enough to sign it.

Some in the government think they can win on a friday because they hope sone opposition MPs will be missing. They will not be missing were the government to have to implement the Agreement by putting it into legislation.

Hullo, CEO in the limelight again over dodgy signatures - not to mention repossessions. Wonder what that'll mean for the share price as over the pond banks were fined $bns.

MPs will be *issed off by having to be there on a Friday, the majority usually go home Thursday to start their three day weekend!

MPs call for inquiry into alleged forgery of signatures


MPs are pressing the Treasury Select Committee to open an immediate inquiry into the alleged forgery of signatures in bank court documents.

They also want Lloyds chief executive Antonio Horta-Osorio to be questioned over how the bank treats customers who say they have found evidence of systemic fraud.

The all-party group on fair business banking says Lloyds appears to be repeating the same conduct it displayed towards customers who uncovered the HBOS Reading fraud, seeking to silence them.

Lloyds has denied there is evidence of systemic fraud and said it "does not recognise the issue" as set out by the group of MPs.
