rburtn's 259036 is a classic of its kind. Everyone but him is stupid, and he misses the point completely.

I will remind him of a line from the film Gandhi:

I put it to you that there is no nation on earth that would not prefer its own bad government to the good government of an alien power.

Where btw is that doubting Thomas 'stoned'? Under any alias I hope that he read the results of the recent Swiss referendum on guns that he doubted.

Just how long do you think that a bilateral takes to negotiate and get approval by the parties involved? 5 years + is closer to 5 minutes.

"If you are stupid, you become a loser, and that is what leavers are, losers who cannot identify the source of their discomfort"

Only stupid losers round here are those Remainers who cannot accept a democratic vote that did not go their way.

As to the rest of the drivel

Yawn.


We already are WTO members in our own right, and WTO only would not be the trading framework UK would operate under. It'd be WTO + Bilaterals + FTA's.

You know, how rest of the world trades!!!

They already have that having implemented their mandate to tax higher earners, they will manage , they will just have to cut their expenditure and find new ways of raising income.

Interesting times.

Much higher taxation.

Where will the Scots get there revenue from Whiskey and oil. What happens when the oil price drops. Who will pay for the benefits system and free NHS.??

May breaks another Brexit promise.

Whatever - soon she will be finished.

[hernando2] 23/5/2019 12:51

IMO It's about time Scotland got their independence, it will resolve the West Lothian question and i am sure we can manage without a hard border.

the only issue will be with the Scots creating their own currency, piggybacking on the pound for a decade or so will help solve that.

I am a Scot living in England I think i can see both sides of the issue.

[alphorn] 23/5/2019 12:47

max - that post will draw some who would say the same about Scotland / Westminster. ;)

Associations are fine, an overarching €U government is not fine.

I keep saying it John but it says a lot about the current parliamentary party that May is still in post. Utterly spineless is one way of describing them. One thing is for certain if the party is to stop Corbyn forming the next Government that her successor must be a Brexiteer and it must exclude every single member of the cabinet including Gove, Mordaunt and Leadsom, in fact especially Gove, Mordaunt and Leadsom all of whom have backed her and her rotten treaty. How opportunist of Leadsom to resign now when she knows May’s number is up and obviously hers with it.

If you think membership of the WTO, dominated by the US, China and Russia with 137 others will give us more control over our trade than association with Germany, France, Italy etc, you are stupid.
If you think our problems, such as destruction of manufacturing, mining and so much of the lower skilled employment is the fault of the EU, not to mention every other problem you can think of, you are stupid.
If you are stupid, you become a loser, and that is what leavers are, losers who cannot identify the source of their discomfort.
The scoundrels who have called up their traditional weapon - xenophobia - as a scapegoat for their greedy exploitation of these hapless individuals will cash in as they always have.

"Get shot of the present leaders" goes without saying. But we also need to get rid of a lot of the MPs and others in CCHQ who aren't conservative in any way.

That's a delicate judgment. A Party full of Rees Moggs would quickly head off into the political sunset and quite right too.

[jordaggy] 23/5/2019 12:15

In that case Tuesday will be a big down day.

[maxk] 23/5/2019 12:11

Keep the conservative party, get shot of the present leaders.

Especially the current maximum leader.

[janekane] 23/5/2019 12:08

We won't know the results of the euro election till 9 o'clock Sunday night

[jordaggy] 23/5/2019 12:01

Let us see Alp, 55p tomorrow is my bet ;)

[grahamite2] 23/5/2019 11:59

For once I don't agree with you, Cheshire Pete. The ERG should stay right where they are.

Building up a new Party from scratch takes a long time in a two Party system. Labour took over 20 years to go from its first MP to its first government, even though it had a large, ready-made power base in the form of the working man.

cp - there is a need for something to happen - the status quo is not sustainable. :)))
