Pete agree , will be watching to see if Redwood softens his tone in the coming months.

[utyinv] 29/12/2018 18:32

bb,

Sorry, who has questioned the part our Heroes from Scotland played in WWII? I don’t read all the posts due to many of them being offensive and unpalatable.

BB: re: #1066, awarding honours to curry political favour is not new. What is new I suspect is that the electorate is increasingly getting wise to such attempts at government manipulation. My earlier point was that, from what I have seen and read from Sir John Redwood, I do not think that he can be 'bought' to change his hard Brexit view. Of course May is trying to win round the euro-sceptics, and the honours system is just one of many methods that can be used. It doesn't follow that they will be successful though.
The real sadness for me is that awards that recognise truly inspiring actions, for example by the team of cave divers who rescued the Thai boys from the flooded cave, are grouped with awards given for less virtuous reasons.

Grahamite,

Just trying to highlight that extremes are no good for anyone. I voted remain but believe the people voted to Leave and we must honour that. However, 48% voted to remain and we need to respect that. Yes if we have a good deal the Young WILL benefit from Brexit but if it’s done just to serve a few self conceited politicians Con, Lab or LibDem etc then that prejudice and hatred will manifest for generations to come. We have an opportunity to do what is right for all our Children and Children’s children to come. Yes the Youth can benefit from Brexit if all politicians got their heads together.

So yes I agree with your point made above.

[grahamite2] 29/12/2018 18:17

UtyINV, I am surprised at your post above as you have always been very reasonable in this discussion.

To take it as axiomatic that our young people will be "suffering" the consequences of Bresxit is surely an example of the very tunnel vision you complain of. Why shouldn't they be "enjoying" those consequences?

Edit: I meant 83, not 86.

[utyinv] 29/12/2018 18:15

I live down South now and whether here or up North all Brexit is doing is fuelling a license to xenophobic prejudices.

[bargainbob] 29/12/2018 18:07

Good to know , tartan welding rods or paint up North :-)

[poikka] 29/12/2018 18:03

No, Bob, trust me on that.., and nor did I get caught for red and green paraffin for the sidelights, but I did get caught for a long stand.

Xxxxxy,

Sorry, can we not have tunnel vision on Brexit?

I am so sad when I hear of the rhetoric pushed about by Leave and Remain. Did you not watch our Queen give her best speech asking all to respect each other’s views?

I agree the nasty beaurocrats in Brussels need to be removed but your anger with the EU elite is hurting many countries whose people have given many of their families lives fighting alongside our brave men.

I politely ask you to pick up a History book and research Monte Cassino or the two Polish RAF squadrons that downed more Luftwaffe than any other squadron .

If you go to the Polish club in Leeds you will see photos of the Queen next to the Polish Eagle, under these are black and white photos of Spitfires in the air doing battle.

All I am saying in a convoluted way is that there are many Europeans in this Country who have given and sacrificed more than many English families.

We need to respect the vote to leave but Brexit shouldn’t be used to facilitate Party Politics. We need to leave the EU on the best possible terms. Our young generation will be suffering the consequences long after we are DEAD.

Happy New Year!

Yes Beckham tattoo is OTT....he probably thinking the more tattoo he has the more macho he will look!!...

[poikka] 29/12/2018 16:58

Jacko - "He looks like an ex prisoner or old sailor, or deckhand."

Do you mind, m8, never in all my decades at sea did I see an "old sailor or deckhand" with neck tattoos. Other tattoos, yes, but not on the neck. And anther thing, rough and ready as ratings, and the rest, were, they invariably went ashore in suits and ties. Different matter sometimes when they came back, mind you.

Just thought that I'd clear up that little matter. Carry on.

Brexit is Brexit

Democracy is Democracy

TREACHERY is TREACHERY


Or CONSERVATIVE PARTY RIP

I have no confidence in this Withdrawal Agreement.

And maybe 17 million other people also have no confidence in this Withdrawal Agreement.

Do the maths. It is the end of the Conservative Party.

Conservative Party RIP

Or DUMP MAY

A thoughtful article and dead right.

A successful No Deal – the Remainers’ worst nightmare

..However, his general point holds true. Brexit, as we are truthfully if repetitively told, was a little people’s revolt against the elites: brought about the quiet wisdom of the majority. If we do by quirk of fate get a No Deal Brexit, then it will the stoicism and initiative of that quiet majority that in millions of different ways will see us through it. ..And that, I think, deep down, is what terrifies a certain type of Ultra-Remainer most of all: not that Brexit will be an economic disaster, but a resoundingly successful cultural revolution. You could be forgiven for thinking otherwise: the extremely noisy phalanxes of Ultra-Remain #FBPE types are often – and not without reason – caricatured as being a shallow lot: obsessed with money, they talk of nothing but the economic damage through disruption to trade that Brexit will bring, ..Those same elite zealots must, deep down, now suspect the truth. Namely, that they stand naked, both intellectually and morally bankrupt. As a No Deal Brexit looms, what terrifies them more than anything is that it will succeed. What if we wake up on March 30 and nothing much happens? At the very least the emperor will have been shown to have no clothes. If we go on to make a success of Brexit, their humiliation will be complete. Major constitutional reform will surely follow. The elites, those notorious ‘citizens of nowhere’, will become the nobodies, and the citizens of somewhere – the quiet, little people if you will – will be the somebodies of the future.

Oh 100 per cent agree Jacko.

Beckham..what an example of modern day celebrity. His neck is now tattooed so much it looks dirty. He looks like an ex prisoner or old sailor, or deckhand. Blockhead Becks is an ad for Tattoo laser removal which will be a business of the future.

I saw a very attractive young lady this morning, she looked like she was wearing Paisley pattern tights until I realised her legs were packed full of multi coloured tattoos.

A silly girl who has to wake up in the morning and be reminded how to mutilate your body with awful tats that will forever mark you as a simpleton.
