Its a shame Corbyn didn't get into power last election, then we could have seen what miracles he would have produced. Or not.

As for Tim Martin. Why does he keep on appearing. He certainly is not a representative of the overall business community.

I'm no supporter of May, but as per usual, all the people that keep mouthing off have no suggestions of their own.

I thought perhaps politicians could not be held in any less regard, but their conduct over the last couple of years has been a disgrace and its a bit rich some of them banging on about democracy. Especially those who hold more sway as a minority.

How does that work again ? The majority vote democratically for a large number of representatives and then a couple of minorities get to have massive influence ?

WTF ?

Tim Martin top man. Boris for PM. Get those letters in. May playing for time as she has for the past 2 years so she can turn round at the 59th minute of the 11th hour having got a 'fig leaf' concession / clarification of doubtful legal strength and hold a gun to the house accept my rubbish betrayal Brexit or suffer the 'horrors' of no deal. She must be stopped for the sake of democracy and ALL our futures leavers and remainers alike.

Tim Martin he knows you know!!!!



‘Theresa May has to go’ – Wetherspoons owner names his choice for prime minister

as he talks up perks of a no deal Brexit on visit to Lincoln

He has also revealed what changes could happen in the company should a 'no deal'

Brexit happen



Wetherspoons owner Tim Martin has been in Lincoln talking up the perks of a 'no deal' Brexit as Theresa May battles to save her deal.


It is very difficult to understand Theresa May. I have never come across anyone quite like her because she doesn’t seem to have tried to get any kind of consensus.

She even had her own pro-Brexit team in David Davis and Dominic Raab, and behind their back she seems to have been organising her own version of Brexit.

She seems to operate in a kitchen cabinet of very few people who are educated at the same establishments as her and believe what she does.



I personally feel Theresa May might be a nice person but she can’t do this job and she is not very good.

She was pro-Remain and she said almost nothing and lost.

She called an election and hid behind some really silly slogans and lost her majority.

She said we are definitely going to leave the customs union and single market and she has lost that as well.

She is not a winner.


Personally, I like Boris Johnson because he ran a magazine for eight years very successfully, which is a tough gig.

And he was mayor of London which is a Labour city and he is a Conservative, so I think he has cross-party appeal, which not many people have.

Boris had the chance of becoming PM and he bottled it, guys got no balls.

[montyhedge] 11/12/2018 16:45

Get her out, she has put her own job before the nations interests, 48 letters hopefully if Bloomberg rumours true. Like Rees-Mogg said she should do the decent thing and resign.

[xxxxxy] 11/12/2018 16:45

LEAVE and WTO

Boris for PM

[stonedyou] 11/12/2018 16:43

Monty thanks for the advice, got a tip for you.....Don`t eat yellow snow....

[willoicc] 11/12/2018 16:42

Making Boris PM would be jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

He would negotiate a deal just as bad as May's

The only way to get a good deal is to leave with NO DEAL and start again from scratch.

That does not include agreeing to give the EU a free gift of £39 billions plus just to start talking.

The EU is in more of a hurry to get that money than we need to be for a deal.

[montyhedge] 11/12/2018 16:39

They will, she will be gone by xmas, as soon has she gets back, the letters will hit her, they won't do it while she is away, if the rumour from Bloomberg is true.
But rumours are rumours.

[ladeside] 11/12/2018 16:38

Over in Espana and trying to avoid all this Brexit nonsense, however I've just tuned in and, OH MY GOD, IS THIS WOMAN A NUTTER OR WHAT ???

Why is she still running the country ????

Total shambles and Merkel et all must be in hysterics...............

[grahamite2] 11/12/2018 16:37

We know she's mulishly stubborn and we know she's mulishly stupid. That leaves hope of her going of her own accord as a pipe dream.

It's down to the Party. They've got a mechanism - use it!

stonedyou
Filtered, keep taking the medication, lol.

[montyhedge] 11/12/2018 16:36

careful
She is in office, but no power, not enough seats. General election Corbyn will be in.

[montyhedge] 11/12/2018 16:26

She has got to go, putting her job first before the country.

[smurfy2001] 11/12/2018 16:25

Could we see the PM resign soon?

[montyhedge] 11/12/2018 16:23

Boris I reckon, Rees-Mogg wants him, Corbyn could he creep in through the back door, if election called.

[grahamite2] 11/12/2018 16:22

or anybody but that bloody looney!

[montyhedge] 11/12/2018 16:18

Bloomberg rumour, 48 letters received, come on Boris, or Corbyn.

[grahamite2] 11/12/2018 16:11

Even Anthony Bolton wasn't perfect - nobody is.

Utterly brilliant Scottish parliamentarians (consisting of cross party MP, MSPs, MEP), take the UK government to court(Scottish Court followed by ECJ) to 'prove' that the UK can revoke Article 50, and they win 💪👏 by showing that:
1)Article 50 can legally be revoked.
2) UK gov lied about not being able to revoke Artcile 50
3) UK parliament has the sovereignty to do this.

Brexiteers up in arms, screaming EU is somehow a dictatorship trying to prevent Brexit.
Brexiteers up in arms, screaming about a lack of democracy in the UK parliament having the sovereignty (that they demanded in Brexit vote ironically) to make this decision if it wants to.

Thank goodness for Scottish politicians having the guts to challenge the UK gov in this way because no other politicians from the other three UK nations seem to be able to stand up to anything.

As much as that?

[exlogicalad] 11/12/2018 15:43

Woodford is Minerve's guru, Minnie used to hail him as the Wizard before Capita, PFG and several others bombed.

We will never know how much Minerve has lost, maybe 50% of his portfolio, so it could be several hundred pounds.
