Only a good 18 months late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 3960 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 It's poor leadership but at the same time they're completely fucked by the broad dichotomy of Labour voters - working class provincial anti-immigrant leavers versus metropolitan staunch remainers. I know that's sweeping generalisations but it's hard to find a position to keep them all happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34197 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 What a fucking arsehole May is. The older you get, the more you realise that this is nothing special or talented about these twats. They're just big enough cunts to THINK they can run a country. That is their single qualification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's wierd. It wasn't always this way. Even in Blair's day there were several competent politicians. Where have they all gone? I was listening to Gisella Stuart the other day. I think she has left politics, but still. What a massive cunt she is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26192 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I guess that'd be true if no one were in a hurry to conduct the second phase of negotations and there wasn't a massive countdown clock to March 2019 in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did their last stab a forecasting go? Immediate recession just from voting leave, 500,000 job losses etc. More scaremongering. However putting that to one side, Brexit should be about more than GDP. In the real world most of us live our daily lives no differently whether GDP is 1.8% or 2.2% etc. Its certainly not a tool for measuring how well society is doing. I suggest you read read the very good book by David Pillington on this subject. (Not that I’ve read it but he talked a lot of sense on Radio 4 this morning).

Your entire reason for voting for Brexit was that the UK economy would benefit by maintaining trade with the EU while agreeing further FTAs with other countries. But now it's about 'other stuff'?
