Trump says what he thinks right or wrong unlike our mp's who lie through their teeth .
i don't like some of what he says if you don't like it tough at least he's not sitting on the fence frightened to upset anyone.

Minnie - "It seems apparent that they were just getting on with their lives under the agreement which Trump decided to break."

Just how gullible can you get.

Shia's were interfering wherever they could throughout the Middle East. Just a continuation of the London Iranian Embassy affair. Suppose that was caused by Trump, too. Not to mention the UK/Iranian woman banged up.

One can understand the frustrations of the majority but they are picking the wrong target to vent their frustrations. Most Remainers would agree that the EU isn't perfect but it is better than what awaits us if No Deal happens and we become the US stooge.

Mrs May damages the Union

By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JULY 20, 2019

It is entirely in keeping with Mrs May’s calamitous handling of government that her parting gift as PM should include Northern Ireland legislation which stokes up controversy between Leave and Remain and is disliked by the DUP, the representatives of the majority in Northern Ireland.

She claimed to be a committed supporter ofhe Union yet her words and actions gave heart to those who oppose the Union. In Scotland she seemed to encourage the SNP, out to use Brexit to weaken the Union. She rarely made the case that Brexit is a UK matter based on a UK wide referendum. She took SNP objections to Brexit more seriously than the many Scottish voices who support Brexit.

In Northern Ireland Mrs May accepted the Republic view that the border is a problem against the view of her own allies, the DUP. She almost lost her government by agreeing to the Irish backstop in the Withdrawal Treaty without their consent.

So here is the irony. Mrs May claimed to be the champion of the Union yet she sided with the Union’s strongest critics, Sinn Fein and the SNP, on the EU question. MrsMay put her loyalty to tge EU above her alleged love of tge Union, just as she put her enthusiasm for the EU above her democratic promise to get us out

Britain's contribution to the EU rises by 20 per cent in a year, as UK's booming economy is used to prop up Brussels' budget

Britain’s contribution to the EU has shot up by £2.6 billion per cent in the past 12 months, new Treasury figures show, as the UK’s growing economy was used to prop up Brussels’ budget.

An “eye-popping” £15.5 billion was sent across the Channel in the year ending March 31, compared with £12.9 billion the year before - an increase of 20 per cent.

The extra money would be enough to put 50,000 more police officers on the streets or fund 81,000 social care beds.

Brexiteers said the increase was yet more evidence that Britain must leave the EU as soon as possible to stop taxpayers’ money “pouring into bottomless EU coffers”.

Treasury accounts published this week show that the increase in Britain’s...

May thought she could bring any humiliating deal to parliament and get it passed.

She found out that she was wrong.

Can somebody please tell me how Treason May was able to actually sign up to the Withdrawal Agreement containing the controversial backstop, without first putting it to and gaining permission from Parliament, whilst Barnier had to secure permission from the EU 27 before he could sign it off?

The ME already has nukes and plenty of them.

I suspect you mean countries other than Israel.

“overwritten” .. some time in the future?


I take it in the meantime we are tied to the infernal €u machine...No!

The penny seems to be dropping. Had Mrs May used language to good effect from the outset then this unnecessarily long drama would have been concluded by now."She also suggested the EU's main offer to Boris Johnson will be to redraft the UK-EU trade plan so the controversial backstop is "overwritten"." - Merkel

Brexiters are very good at intimidation. It is in their nature. Bad people.

Remainers can't feel too aggrieved when we leave EU at Halloween. After all, they will have had an extra 3 years 'borrowed time' within their beloved EU.

Angela Merkel says Brexit backstop could be 'overwritten' but EU red lines remain firm



James Crisp, brussels correspondent
19 JULY 2019 • 5:37PM



The Irish border backstop will be “overwritten” the moment a technological or other solution to keep it invisible and protect the EU’s single market was found, Angela Merkel said on Friday.

The German Chancellor insisted that the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement, which includes the controversial backstop, will not be renegotiated, even though it was rejected three times by MPs.

“The Withdrawal Agreement is the Withdrawal Agreement,” she said, “The moment a solution for the management of the border is found [...] that satisfies both questions then the backstop will be overwritten so to speak.”

Tory leadership hopefuls Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt have both said the deal must be renegotiated and...
