"What nutters, sometimes we wonder if they should be allowed to vote."

I don't wonder, I know they shouldn't. True democracy DOES NOT EXIST when you have a large percentage of the populace who can be so easily brainwashed.

I think there should be an exam that you should have to pass, just like a driving test/exam. I know getting to consensus on the exam would be difficult and the likes of Corbyn wouldn't like it but it has to be better than constantly fighting with thickos.

Agree jl5006, the WA is May's monumental deceit designed to keep us tied to the EU. Tear it up Boris and walk away no deal.

Seeing Trumps crazy supporters armed with automatic assault weapons.
They fear the 'communist' Biden.

What nutters, sometimes we wonder if they should be allowed to vote.

[jl5006] 10/11/2020 17:47

Yes CP
But we must just leave - WA is like a concrete neck brace - we cannot therefore have a deal.
BJ stop the pantomime - just say end of.

We don't need the likes of Major running the country down. He should sling his hook if he has nothing positive to say about us.
Once free of the EU red tape, we'll be able to undercut them in both goods and services. They have the single currency yoke around their necks plus immigration burden. We can motor on while they flounder, they know it and its why they are desperate to try and keep us shackled to them.

John Major knows the score. ;)

The john minor achievement was said to be his get together with the Currie thin thing - his major achievement was to have his son linked up to a porn star emma Noble.
Anything else of note?
Oh yes - he stood on a soap box.

Btw, Biden's top choice for Defence Secretary is formidable - wants to have be able to sink the Chinese navy within 72h hours. Not a bad ambition.

What an absolute tart, Major is - and was. So let's just roll over and give up, eh.

"John Major has claimed the UK is no longer a “great power” and slammed Brexit as a 'bitterly divisive policy."

The former prime minister warned that “complacency” and “nostalgiaR21; are the routes to a national decline and that the UK’s global influence has relied upon history, fortified by membership of the EU and close ties to the US.

He added: "We are no longer a great power. We will never be so again. In a world of nearly 8 billion people, well under 1% are British. We are a top second-rank power."

John Major, Minor more like it. Sure the world has changed since Queen Victoria's days, but hey, we've got a lot going for us - especially with a government that invests in enterprise, free of the EU's shackles.

833. That's nice. Think that settles it. Trust they will sort out their voting system. Lessons to be learned for UK too. Not squeaky clean here either.Anyway, settled, Biden it is.

No Deal still offers the best route to a successful BrexitNovember 10, 2020By Ben HabibI WROTE ON 18 October 2019, a day after the Prime Minister's "new" Withdrawal Agreement was revealed, that it was a bad deal and should not be supported. Since then the failings I cited have been brought into relief but sadly not before his deal was signed into law. Now a year on, with the UK gripped by pandemic induced economic self-harm, the Prime Minister should repudiate the Withdrawal Agreement – as we are legally entitled to do – and grab the benefits of a No Deal exit from the EU. Contrary to the project of fear, the only real way for Britain to boom outside the EU is for it to fully diverge. Staying in lockstep with the EU would not assist our economy – it would actually make recovery doubly difficult. Britain's No Deal dividend would be vast. There would be three immediate windfalls. We would immediately save the tens of billions promised to be paid as part of the WA. The figure is often quoted as £39 billion but is likely to be much higher.As of the new year, £18bn per annum would be saved – the annual membership payments we make to Brussels. And in addition, we would be able to levy WTO-based tariff collections on imports from the EU, estimated at around £13bn per annum. These latter sums equate to £31bn per annum for the Exchequer – in perpetuity – a massive windfall, to put it mildly.These could in part be used to smooth the path of organisations and businesses that currently depend on EU funding and could themselves be subject to EU tariffs such as the agricultural sector, certain manufacturers and higher educational establishments. The cost of fully protecting these sectors could be some £11bn per annum.But that would still leave a whopping annual surplus of £20bn.Armed with this surplus, the Government should make the UK a relatively low tax, relatively low regulation competitive economy.One of the final sticking points in the arduous talks is purportedly the EU's demand for a "level playing field", which is, a polite way of describing a foreign regulatory system imposed on the UK to prevent it from outperforming the EU. Disavowing this demand is not dangerous or even bold. It is common sense, simple, and positive. Tax cuts that should be made a priority are those that would immediately boost the UK's economy, such as cutting VAT and duty on fuel – these adversely affect the poor much more than the wealthy. And to get businesses motoring, business rates and corporation tax rates should be slashed. All of this would be affordable and a huge welcome relief from the pandemic-induced economic hardship.Under no circumstances should we sign up to their State Aid laws. To do so would not just prohibit the sort of support outlined above but also tie the government's hands in delivering its promise to level up the Country – a key factor in the Prime Minister's election victory and strong majority.We must also get to work jettisoning other EU laws and regulations that hamper Britain's ability to trade competitively. This extends to regulations to which the banks and the financial services sector are subject, as well as laws that would otherwise comprise the rest of the wretched level playing field: competition laws, certain environmental laws, employment laws and tax restrictions – all for the benefit of UK plc.Capital adequacy ratios for financial institutions lending and investing in UK businesses should also be reduced for a period of time. This would free up capital to be deployed in the recovery. And to make our sources of capital relatively competitive, capital adequacy ratios for lending and investing in EU-based businesses should be increased. It is not just absurd but highly risky to ascribe the same risk weighting to both Greek and German government bonds. This is what the current regulations require (an absurd skewed playing field if ever there was one!)And what's more, our fishing waters would finally unconditionally be ours. Planned correctly, this would bring a significant economic boost to some of our most abandoned and deprived communities. Fishing may only comprise a relatively small part of the UK's GDP but its revival would be a sufficient fillip to transform these communities. A huge step towards levelling up the country. Leaving without a deal is not enough, however, for the Withdrawal Agreement would remain in place – with all its restrictions and keeping Northern Ireland partitioned into the EU's customs union. We must therefore repudiate the WA, through the legal means that are already available to us.Brexit is an opportunity to forge a competitive, successful, independent UK – which is exactly what we must become if we want an economic resurgence after the economic disaster that is 2020 – and that is why we should repudiate the WA and leave without a deal.
