ewerk 26297 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I think Chris Grayling has the air of a man who knows that he’s out of his depth but has no idea how to get out of the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19817 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Pretty much sums up the entire front bench tbh - May, Hunt, Fox, Williamson etc, then you had Davis, Raab. What a bunch of fucking mongs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26297 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 What is the point in all this parliamentary debate? Backbench cunts you’ve never heard of get to speak to a House that’s only 20% full while those there chat amongst each other or play on their phones. No one gives a fuck, stick it on your blog.

ewerk 26297 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Like who the fuck is George Howarth? He’s apparently been in parliament for 33 years and looks like Bubbles’ da yet I’ve never heard of him. He’s not convincing anyone to change their minds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like something the backbenchers do in an attempt to exert influence in some small way. Ego massaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I read JLR is mostly due to declining China sales and the diesel fiasco. Not good for my old place, shame really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems hasty to me, given how increasingly likely it appears that brexit won't even happen. I'd be surprised if they'd taken a decision to spend a fortune on redundancies because of it before knowing what lies ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14035 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Doesn't matter whether Brexit happens or not, we're a tarnished brand as a country now. No reason we should be trusted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Our place (pharmaceuticals) is clearly stockpiling, as well as pharmacies. January is usually our quietest month and it's been almost as busy as Christmas this year. We need a second referendum because I'm having to send too many fucking e-mails.

ewerk 26297 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) When you’re all out of arguments in favour of Brexit it comes down to ‘let’s keep the far right loons happy’. Edited January 12, 2019 by ewerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 Luckily we are not that sort of country. Most leavers will just shrug and move on if Brexit doesn’t happen. The irony is that our FPTP voting system, which a lot of people criticise, is exactly what keeps extreme political movements away from power. Also ironic that some are desperate to stay linked politically to the EU with a lot of countries that do have successful and growing far right parties.
