NigelFargate Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Well summed up. There seem to be a few people still determined to follow in the footsteps of Comical Ali. Comical Ali is a good analogy. The latest ICM poll (out today) shows a clear majority against a second referendum and also that a clear majority support the PM's Brexit strategy. In two years' time, no doubt Tim Farron will still be calling for another referendum and also for the UK to stay within the SEM and customs union. Perhaps the most delusional of all is Nicola Sturgeon, who seems to think that Scotland can somehow stay in the SEM following Brexit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litotes Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 The latest ICM poll (out today) shows a clear majority against a second referendum and also that a clear majority support the PM's Brexit strategy. But we all know that polls can't be trusted... Traitors, cheats and liars, all of them, they should be taken out and hanged!!!

NigelFargate Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 The Brexit Blockers will no doubt be relentless in attempting to scupper a meaningful exit from the EU at every turn. They will never be satisfied, regardless of what concessions are given to them. They demanded a vote before Article 50 was triggered - they will get it; they demanded a White Paper before Article 50 was triggered- they will get it. No doubt they are thinking up other demands too. At some point, a strategy of repeated concessions ceases to be deft political manoeuvring and transmutes into appeasement.

And look where that leads when you are dealing with fascists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
