Michel Barnier, 2016. I see your anti-working class agenda now extends to spreading fake news on behalf of right wing Conservative MEPs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes you look stupid. A minimum of a year must lapse between the second reading of the Bill in the first session in which it is rejected by the Lords, and its being passed by the Commons in the second. A YEAR MUST PASS, WHICH IS LONGER THAN THE TIME LEFT TO THE 29TH MARCH! GET IT? Edited January 27, 2019 by ez8004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say the behaviour doesn't exist - so the EU haven't played hardball and made it near impossible to leave? What compromises have they made then? Ah, so you do wish to discuss it, very good. No, the EU have done exactly what they were expected to do. They've negotiated in their own interests. Only brexit liars claimed that they wouldn't.

They've negotiated in their own interests. Only brexit liars claimed that they wouldn't. The electorate are aware (and will be vigorously reminded during any second 'Peoples' vote) that our 45 year membership of the EU counts for nothing. No compromise from the EU to help build a stable trading relationship has been forthcoming. All the money we have poured into the bottomless EU pit over the decades for its various vanity projects has accorded us no special rights, privileges or even a modicum of respect. For the UK are 'deserters', according to Jean-Claude Juncker, and we must be intimidated, pushed around and financially punished. The electorate have seen the true measure of the EU. A bully, demanding money with menaces - not a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Our poor Members of Parliament might need to work longer hours and could lose their February half term break if Brexit is to be delivered on time. My neighbour works all the hours he can to support his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a reluctant Remainer in the first referendum, this kind of treatment is likely to swing me to Leave. 15 hours ago, tinfoilhat said: Should they make any? We chose to leave, the EU from day one set it's stall out and wasn't going to budge. We are now a direct competitor of the EU. Why should they start dishing out cake and unicorns? They should at least give a little. We've been one of the biggest net contributors since it's inception. It's supposed to be a democratic state. The countries are supposed to be allies . They'd risk the peace in Ireland rather than lose our contribution, which speaks volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
