The UK is not as bad as Venezuela

Corbyn must be very pleased by the actions of his loyal supporters last night.

I am talking about the seven sensible ones that voted with the Brexiteers.

With all the flip-flopping Corbyn does over Brexit no wonder his MP’s get confused about which way to vote on any given day of the week.

I like the idea of using their oil,we sell weapons but doesn't mean we pull the trigger.

If you sell or give someone a weapon knowing they plan to murder someone with it that makes you an accessory to murder. Can you tell me the difference between innocent civilians killed by the IRA in Ireland and innocent civilians killed by the Saudi military in Yemen?


So you think its ok to arm terrorists so long as you don't pull the trigger?

He also thinks it's okay to arm terrorists as long as the right-wing are the ones doing it.

37% = majority, where's did you go to school?

Okay, to be fair, I don't think it's honest to count people who didn't vote as having voted. The 52% who voted Leave though was arrived at undemocratically though.


And yes,you would work to undermine the vote

Indeed. It's supremely ironic that Eurosceptics who've spent the past 40 years moaning about the EU are telling those of us who voted Remain that we need to shut up. I've never seen such an ungracious bunch of 'winners'.

No comparison,

Considering
  1. the Tories don't have a ****ing clue as to what they're doing;
  2. they're taking liberties by using a vote to cancel our EU membership as an excuse to also bring us out of the Single Market, the Customs Union and possibly the ECJ too;
  3. We won't be able to negotiate new trade deals until we've concluded Brexit 'negotiations';
  4. Nobody has approached us offering any of these amazing new trade deals that everyone will want to make with us once we're outside of the EU';
'driving a car off a cliff' is actually a pretty apt metaphor.


it's the right thing for us and should have happened years ago,

Leavers have yet to convince me or anyone else with the ability to think critically. In fact they've yet to demonstrate that any of their fantastical claims will actually come true.


for years we've not been a full member,

Yes we have. We had a seat at the table which allowed us to negotiate our own exemptions. Couldn't do that if we weren't EU members.


half in half out,we may as well be out.

So you're a glass-half-empty kind of guy. Figures.

I was discussing uk population however you are correct regarding the lack of democracy in the vote.

And things will get even more fascist if she uses the henry viii law to overrule Parliament
