The lesser spotted Milibandus is owned body and soul by Soros.

So yes, you could see an even Nu-er Labour party spring up..no shortage of funds.

[ladeside] 04/12/2018 13:18

There's no doubt that it's all being carefully choreographed, irrespective of whether you're for or against.

I've already told you my theory. In will ride David Miliband and his new centrist party to the rescue, untainted by Brexit incompetence and backed by former political big hitters such as Blair, Brown & Mandelson, we'll then get Carney on board along with all the big business interests and the media moguls and of course by that point it will be a done deal.

Halt article 50 and return to the status quo where we'll all live happily ever after as part of the "adored" EU........

g - or should we just believe the theatre that fills threads like this one? ;)))


………;...that should be a cue (pun) for a few fruit and nutcase cavalry to arrive.

ECJ’s top legal adviser says UK can unilaterally end Brexit

Do it now! F%ck the chimps. The circus has had its day!

Really Max - "Zero hours contracts are not allowed in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland and Spain".

The Swiss situation fwiw – the employee is to be remunerated full pay during standby at the business premises and partial pay for standby at home. Also, part-time workers are allowed the same individual statutory rights as full-time staff.

[alphorn] 04/12/2018 12:56

Yes thx. I have posted before about my support for workers' rights etc. Fundamental IMO for society. (I do not support at all anybody not wishing to work though).

[maxk] 04/12/2018 12:53

Alp.

The French invented zhc's some time ago, long before Blair/Broon made them legit in blighty.

[ladeside] 04/12/2018 12:52

Sorry Alphorn, just saw your post and you'll see I agree.

[alphorn] 04/12/2018 12:49

Ladeside - the key is a decline in living standards; when these bite more of the population then the real problems could emerge as you say.
The French issue was pure stupidity, hike petrol prices with a falling oil price - issue sorted for now. In the UK IMO it is more about the poor treatment of workers with these special terms of employment (if you can use that word). This is the area that will IMO boost Corbyn. Plus, of course, having lost over 2 years with the ongoing 'B' campaign has not helped anybody.

The French fuel riots are a specific response to a specific complaint. Governments love the global warming fraud, as an excuse to increase their powers and increase taxes yet further; normal people who are the victims of those increases aren't so keen.

[ladeside] 04/12/2018 12:32

The whole western world is currently in turmoil from a political perspective and the one thing in common across the piece is inequality and the fact that the gap is continuing to widen.

How do we arrest this slide towards anarchy ?

Who knows, it's probably too late and I'd say the fuel riots in France is just the start of a contagion which will spread like wildfire, especially in this era of connectivity via social media.

Brexit, whatever the final outcome, will undoubtedly be the catalyst in this country for peoples anger and frustration to finally boil over and of course this will provide the perfect excuse for some good old fashioned animal instinct anarchy to rise to the surface.

Mark my words, it's coming..........

[alphorn] 04/12/2018 12:32

When is today's vote mm2? That will be interesting.

[mikemichael2] 04/12/2018 12:30

Correct Alp, i should have said deal, i try my best, however i'm not that well educated.

[poikka] 04/12/2018 12:06

I see that Sweden's still without a government. The Sweden Democrats representing over 18% of the public are unhappy with the effects of the EU's non-policy on migration; so are a helluva lot more, I'd guess, but the public are understandably unwilling to support an anti-immigration party with all the assumed baggage that goes with such a party.

This picture is replicated across Europe, and won't go away. Trouble is, most EU countries are helpless to stem the flow of economic migrants, and Brussels is too lethargic, fat and wealthy to give a toss.

[grahamite2] 04/12/2018 11:41

LADESIDE, the UK government has limitless money to spend on marginal constituencies. Remember the warships Callaghan built below cost for the enemies of this country?

[cm44] 04/12/2018 11:37

I watched all of the Attorney General's performance yesterday and like the big bad wolf when he arrived at the little piggy's brick house,no amount of huffing and puffing was going to blow this house down.Maybe he fancies his chances of being the next Greatest Showman,to put it mildly I was underwhelmed.
I have also been watching the Carney and Pals show this morning.He,they,generalised a lot but I thought were honest in their opinions.

[maxk] 04/12/2018 11:34

Ah, that's different Ladeside. On that you are probably right.

[ladeside] 04/12/2018 11:28

You're missing my point max, what I'm saying is that I'd doubt if the UK Gov would have spent that money in the poorest areas as quite frankly they couldn't give a toss.

[alphorn] 04/12/2018 11:10

mm2 - your post makes no sense. Did you mean to say 'if there is no deal'.

[mikemichael2] 04/12/2018 11:04

More 'project fear ' from Carney, food prices 'could' go up 10% if there is no brexit COULD ! Maybe they COULD come down as well.

[maxk] 04/12/2018 11:00

You make it sound like it's €U money, and not recirculated british taxpayers money.

[ladeside] 04/12/2018 10:46

The EU development fund has financed infrastructure projects across the poorest parts of the UK.

Would this money still have reached these places if the UK Gov were in charge of the funds ?

I'd doubt it. Why spend money in Sunderland or the Scottish Highlands when you could be upgrading London's transport infrastructure even further ??

I mean, what benefits does building bridges and tunnels in the NE of England or North of Scotland have for our wider Economy ??

Survival of the fittest and London is all that matters..........

[mikemichael2] 04/12/2018 10:33

You will never know what is really happening.
