These days, it seems that the collapse of the family firm is a price worth paying. You don’t get the epithet “The Nasty Party”, by caring about people’s livelihoods.

Top Cats Hat Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hopefully this Brexit nonsense is going to put an end to them for a very long time. After all Johnson’s hype, his first meeting with EU leaders will be interesting when he asks for his unicorns and they tell him to do one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said before - if that happens Johnson will blame it all on johnny foreigner and the no dealers will lap it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note this isn’t about which of them can do the most damage to big corporates (they will leave or at least reduce their U.K. presence and many have got those plans well advanced) but they are actually going head to head about which of them is most relaxed about taking down British SMEs This is as low as it could get.

True. The later Corbyn leaves it to back Remain, the less believable it will be. Even McDonnell and Abbott are starting to get frustrated by his position especially as everyone is now telling him he’ll lose many more Remain votes than Leave votes he’ll gain by backing the Tories.

It won’t work. The only way it will is if they invent a new hate target. There aren’t many to use. Remainers could be a target but any concerted action against us will tear the country to shreds. We’re more than half the country now. They could try and prorogue parliament or maybe try other authoritative measures but then that kills their core argument over sovereignty. They've run out of road. Even the most brainwashed Leave voter won’t be able to deny the pre and post Brexit differences once companies leave in their droves, and the U.K. starts to fragment. 15 minutes ago, Top Cats Hat said: True.

He is the only seriously pro-Brexit leader out of May, Hunt and Johnson. He eclipses all of them in terms of his hatred of the EU and yet nobody wants to talk about that.

bendix Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 The idea that people are expecting Corbyn to back Remain shows just how little people understand his position, which is weird because it hasn’t changed in 40-50 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Corbyn has always been a fence sitter since he's been leader. This instance will be the straw that breaks the camels back for him. Even Labours friend The Guardian is struggling to see the positives in him any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
