the pussies on the establishment gravy train are trying their best and keep us in Hotel California.

So wait Johnson, Leadsom, Gove etc are enemies of the people now?

Meanwhile, Putin’s murdering British civilians and the Brexiters are still supporting him.

The history books will look back on this period & frame the Brexiters as some sort of 5th column, within their own country.

Wasn’t it the Official IRA under Goulding that trumpeted the Marxist stuff? (Actually I know it was).

Left wing support for Irish Nationalism significantly predates the Goulding era split. James Connolly was writing about it being a battle for emancipation of the working classes in 1908, go rther and Marx & Engels were preoccupied with the issue.

It certainly helps avoid talking about today’s issues

In the blinkered view that everything can be left or right leads many to some really misguided thinking.

I think the comments from Ninfan about the establishment gravy train in the remain camp are well wide of the mark. I would bet my house on Nigel, Boris, DD, Dr Liam, Jacob and Michael all having their money invested overseas and have already seen their assets soar as the pound has dropped. If, as most likely happens the country’s economy tanks then they will make an absolute killing. Of course if Britain miraculously regains the influence and economic standing it had in the world prior to WW1 then of course they become heroes. A no lose situation for these guys, wish I could say the same for the rest of us.

In in preparation for this I am going to go back to the old colonial names for countries. We won’t need trade deals we will just send a gunboat to Ceylon for tea and they will provide it for free if they don’t want a sound thrashing….

they all need us you know…

Not a peep from you over the decades when they were backing CND, the ANC, the IRA and all sorts of leftie goals

Don’t forget DFS, there’s got to be an explanation for those sofas.

I look forward to re-instigating my great grandfathers opium routes. I have a fleet of tall ships at the ready

The Cutty Sark can be released from Greenwich and as long as Johnny Foreigner doesn’t know how to use fire we will be all good…

Jesus wept! Did you even bother googling anything about the history of the IRA and Sinn Fein (of which you clearly know nothing) before trying to pick an argument with me?

Umm.. so some terrorists are lefties.  Ok, but that does not mean all lefties are terrorists, does it?

Can I just confirm something Ninfan?  Are you saying that being a socialist means you also support violence and terror?

Let’s get back to the matter in hand:

Okay ninfan, what sort of Brexit would you wish to see and how would you reconcile the northern irish border and the demands of businesses?

Boom Davies finally delivered something he promised to do

Don’t let the door hit your arse on the way out.

I’ve been waiting for it for two years but surely this must finally sound the bell on the totally insane wing of the Tory party declaring war on the ever-so-slightly less insane wing?

Yip

A hardliner in number 10 very soon

Hard Brexit is now the only outcome

Absolute madness

Hard Brexit is now the only outcome

If if you are going to do something bloody stupid you might as well really go for it with no half measures. Stride out with confidence and all that.

Considering how badly he handled himself & how poorly prepared he was at the brexit select committee meetings, I’m amazed he wasn’t fired months ago.

Ironically hes actually the cause of the governments weakness, he was the genius behind May’s early election to increase the governments brexit mandate 😂

Surely it’s time for a vote of no confidence in the government over Brexit and the triggering of a General Election before the government cripples the country for generations to come?

The hardliners seem to insist that anything but a hard Brexit will be contrary to the referendum vote, but of course no one voted for any sort of Brexit beyond leaving the EU in some capacity.

I don’t think that there’s any consensus for a hard Brexit in Parliament, just a vocal minority in the Tory party but Theresa May seems to be trying to assuage them in order to cling to power rather than putting the Country’s interests first.

GE to decide which type of Brexit the country gets?

Boris vs Corbs vs Libs for fully in?

That would rely on Corbyn actually deciding what sort of Brexit he wanted other than mumble mumble …. jobs. And, even then, we wouldn’t know if that was something the EU would agree to.

I’m sure David Davies will now spell out his own far superior plan for Brexit …

[ obviously he won’t ]

The original referendum was a total mess with just an In-Out option. Some people may object to a second referendum on leaving the EU, but a fresh referendum on the type of Brexit would be an option. It’d be a faff certainly but as a no going back, one off decision that will affect the Country for generations to come, it is significant enough. Personally I think that the EU would extend deadlines in order to get a go workable outcome.

I’m sure David Davies will now spell out his own far superior plan for Brexit …

he’ll start with

Brexit means Brexit

then move onto

A red, white and blue Brexit!

How long does the whole vote of no confidence, leadership election etc process take for the tories? Is there time for their infighting or will we drive off the cliff edge with nobody at the wheel?

https://www.parliament.uk/site-information/glossary/motion-of-no-confidence/

Doesn’t look as if it would automatically trigger a General Election, but would do so after 2 weeks if a viable government can’t be formed.

We’d have to wait an see if the EU would hold back negotiations until we’d sorted ourselves out. Personally I feel that Brexit is significant enough to warrant this approach.

do the tory Brexit rebels even have the numbers to unseat her, I doubt it. My guess Davis has gone because we are heading to a “rebranded” Norway deal…. he knows we’ll have to cave to the 4 freedoms as no deal is not an option (for May).

That’s a shame .

He flogged himself flat out for 2 years to get the very best brexit deal and all he’ll get at the end is a knighthood.

It’s a shame the hard working British taxpayers can’t award him a sainthood.

There is no point in Tory MPs unseating the PM unless they have a plan for Brexit that the majority of MPs can back…

That lack of forward thinking has never stopped them knifing each other before. Rats in a Sack.

The question is who would want the poison chalice PM job.

I fear Jacob Cream Cracker will be jostled to the front of the angry mob.

Gove the new Brexit Bulldog? Say what?

I fear Jacob Cream Cracker will be jostled to the front of the angry mob.

I think he prefers to stay in the background rather than actually be held accountable.

I am still suspicious this is is a bit of a mixup and Davis accidentally screwed up his fortnightly resignation threat.

Actually a leadership election with JRM vs Anyone-not-batshit-mental might be a good thing – don’t think there’s sufficient support outside his crew of 80 to get him elected, and that gives ANBSM (the new PM) a way to put him back in his box and get on with doing something that might actually give us a chance of economic prospeerity over the next decade or two.

And, even then, we wouldn’t know if that was something the EU would agree to.

Exactly.  To have any vote at all we need the exact agreed deals that we would be voting on otherwise it would just be the same mess all over again.

Principled man refusing to argue for something he doesn’t agree with.

This was posted in the brexit bulldog thread, but had to reply….

It’s DDs 6th threat to resign in 2 years, he didn’t even do it when it would have had a big impact & done it to May’s face on Friday, instead he went home to sulk over the weekend & did it 3 days later after the rest of the party had spent the weekend spinning it as a success!

His lack of knowledge of his brief at the brexit select committee meetings have been painful , he tried desperately to surppress his own impact assessments when they showed just how damaging brexit would be & of course he is the main reason that the talks have failed, not because of his spectacular incompetence, but because of his genius early election to solidify the Tories brexit mandate, that left them dependent on the DUP, who then held them to ransom over NI border

Principled man refusing to argue for something he doesn’t agree with.

So. I predict Gove.

“As a reward for your loyalty and principled selling of your Brexit friends down the river, Michael; as chief Skeksis, I’d like to offer you….

…this poisoned chalice…”.

Sadly the public ridicule thread about Davis resigning has been closed, so I’ll copy what I wrote over there here.

BOOM

The Business Analyst has passed over his findings and upon seeing the scope and impacts has finally bailed and handed his notice in.

Save Maybot doing it.

Right, next …. off you go LyingBloHard

And thats it.

I hope this brings a lesson to the rest of the nasty party, that your own political careers are heading for the toilet.

Along with your racist vows, retarded outlooks and pathetic school brat infighting.

So…

Despite being asked many, many times ninfan still hasn’t told us how he would see brexit working. Maybe like every other brexit voter I’ve spoke too he hasn’t got a f****** clue.

Even those that voted Leave didnt really expect us to actually leave … and it was almost guaranteed to pan out that way by having a Remainer in charge; like having a turkey organise Christmas dinner.

Money rules. Big business cant lose their access to cheap labour to maintain their big profits for those at top … so as is the short sighted smash and grab contemporary way; forget about tomorrow – grab as much as you can today!

Grayling as Brexshit sec ? god help us!

So JRM has spoken:

Speaking on LBC, the Tory backbencher and prominent Brexiteer said he didn’t think a no confidence vote in the PM was “immediately in the offing”, but she needs to change direction.

“I think what the prime minister needs to do is to give up on the Chequers proposals, which David Davis in his resignation letter has pointed out don’t actually deliver Brexit,” he said.

“The problem with Chequers is the prime minister was very clear that Brexit would mean Brexit.

“She made a number of statements indicating she was going to do it properly and then she has decided to have a basically Remainer approach to negotiations and that is what has done her damage.”

Well that’s clear then – he doesn’t like the deal but doesn’t know how to “fix” it and certainly doesn’t want to be responsible for “fixing it”.  Instead he’ll stay on the sidelines criticsing and using vacuous soundbytes.
