!7.4 million actually. But they knew sufficient to put the x in the right box,
Presumably the losers did not. That is probably why they lost.
No matter what arguments you continue to advance, the fact remains that you lost. I would have thought that after more than three years you would all be aware of that fact by now.

The LibDems, nationalist parties and Greens are all united in wanting a referendum and calling for remain. I'm not happy that Labour are keen to get their own deal (yeah, sure...) then have a referendum with no remain policy. We're going to have half the bloody party campaigning against their own deal. A split. It won't do. We need a degree of unity on this among all opposition parties in order to beat the bloody Tories. Priority numero uno. I should like to see Labour solidly in the remain camp.

i'm just back in from my labour party branch meeting - it was really good. we had a long discussion on how to mandate our delegate to conference on the brexit question. we had a range of views, the question is not simple but we were very respectful of *all views and did not argue - or reach a decision . so pretty much typical labour party then.

i say *all but my own suggestion was to say we have left, to change the passports back to dark blue, say a few au revoirs and auf wiedersehns and missing you already. then carry on exactly as before. we remainers could carry on smugly while brexiteers could say 'you remoaners said it would be a disaster and it's not bad at all, losers'

really, how would we know if we had left. or not? everyone is happy

We will have to see what comes out of the conferences but the current Labour policy to me sounds intellectually and morally sound.. Summering it, we believe in and recommend remain, but if you reject that we are duty bound to offer the best version of leave we can, even though that is not our preference.

Sound.
Moral,

Disastrous as a campaigning message.

"Disastrous as a campaigning message."
It seems to me that, whatever happens over leaving Europe, politics are never going to be the same again in British Politics
Johnson and his wrecking gang have more or less wrecked any pretence of democracy now and whatever party replaces him (he can't possibly continue) can forget about taking over as if nothing has happened
What should Labour campaigning on ?
It seems to me that if the UK is to survive, in or out of Europe, its political structures have to be rebuilt

I gave up voting when Blair's mob removed any chance of a better society from Labour's aims - I became interested again when Corbyn became talking about changing society - it seems to me that could be lost by compromising on those changes with a coalition of the same-cold, same old, with the shelving of the ideal that Labour has, or should have stood for

Rather than narrow the gap between haves and have-nots, the loss of investment and yet more British industries has widened it considerably

THe last coalition Ireland's Labour Party entered into set it back decades - I would hate Corbyn to fall into the same trap

The Labour Party has shifted position on an election so much that their website currently hosts a page published less than a week ago that says Labour will back an election as soon as their Surrender Bill passed. The bill passed. Not a single Labour MP voted for an election.
The Labour Brexit policy is vaguely reminiscent of three not wise monkeys
Hear no sense
See no sense
Speak nonsense

They have an extensive nationalisation program planned(against EU Law)
They want to commandeer houses and forcibly sell them below market value( I look forward to seeing that one fly as it is in direct conflict with the European Convention on Human Rights as amended by the provisions of Protocol No. 14 (CETS no. 194) as from its entry into force on 1 June 2010)

According to McDonnell Labour has finally come full-circle on their ever-shifting Brexit policy; from respecting the result of the referendum to saying their second referendum will be a choice between no Brexit and Brexit in name only. The next election will be a very stark choice…

How magic grandad expects to win an election when they are all at odds on Brexit totally escapes me. I am sure their party conference will be like an audition for the GOON show, presumably borrowing elements from the Monty Python 'Dead Parrot' sketch.

Jim Carroll posted on the 9.9.19 in answer to an earlier post of mine

""I personally think that if do have another referendum it will be close again and could go either way."
On what to you base this RD. and how on earth will that solve the problems Brexit has already caused and will continue to cause ?
Do you really believe that the British People are a bunch of lemmings ?
I don't believe they would be so suicidally stupid and if they are we deserve everything we get, but at least it would be a decision taken with some knowledge, which is what democracy entiles us all to"

Why do I think if we had another referendum again it would be close?

I live in the largest European Parliament constituency here in the UK. In the last election Brexit won 4 of the 10 seats with 36.1% of the vote, the Lib Dems were second with 3 seats, 25.7%.

In Kent, where I live, 9 areas they got mid to high 40s percent. 2 areas low 40s and 1 area 51.1 %. There were only 2 areas where they got under 40. Granted it was the usual low turnout but it is only those of us who turn out that get counted.

In the referendum here in Kent, with a turnout over 70%, the vote was near enough 2 to 1 in favour of leaving. Before the referendum I had little doubt that it would be close, going on talking with people locally.

Now when I talk to people about the mess that we are now in, I have yet to come across one leave voter who has changed their mind. I should add that unlike some of you here, I am able to talk in the pubs with leave voters. I always tell them that I voted to remain and have to admit that one or two have given me some strange looks but that was it. Admittedly I did get strange looks before the referendum.

Like I have said, there has always been a number of people who were opposed to us joining the EU and remaining in it. Both parties were split before we joined and also in the 1975 referendum.

Here in Kent, 100s of jobs were lost as a result of us being in the EU, especially after 1993 and the free movement of goods. One of the prime movers for this initiative was a certain Margaret Thatcher.

That is why I think it will be close again.

You and some of your friends here can say that all leave voters are stupid, Nazi, racist people. Some of them may well be but the majority are not.

The language that is used here at times is appalling. You are forever going on about Nazi dictatorships and saying that people should be beheaded. What the hell is that all about? If we met in a pub and you came out with that sort of talk, I would just walk away. You appear at times to display the same traits of the people you disagree with.

You are far too quick to label people racist. You yourself made a comment back on the 7th August which I found unbelievable and insulting to my parents, my cousins and all other Irish people. You should be ashamed of that.

The home Counties - 'the soft underbelly of Britain' is no indication of what will happen elsewhere - it never has been
The hardest hit so far are the Northern Areas, particularly the North East
It would be little less than self harm to continue voting for Brexit up there
Wales voted to leave but the talk among Wesh farmers is of civil unrest if things on the path they are moving
Members of my family, in the North West and on the South Coast voted to leave - they regret it now, especially the one who has a lucrative job involving trips to Italy
Personal experiences such as these are meaningless in the ligh of a now proven disastor course Britain is on
I don't think leavers are stupid - I've recently warned against the error of describing them such
I say they've been lied to, starved of information, and bullied - it would be a very 'stupid' individual to claim otherwise

The racism speaks for itself - from Farage's disgusting poster to the massive spike in racist incidents immediately following the referendum
Britain already had a racist problem - when a right-wing-scum bucket like the Daily Mail publish a nationwide survey indicating that between a quarter and a third of British people hold and have expressed racist opinions you need to look around you with more critical eyes
I know from having lived in three of Britain's major cities how racist Britain is

”You are forever........saying that people should be beheaded.”

Sorry, Raindog, that’s nonsense. I have never seen, or heard, here or anywhere else, a Remainer make death-threats against Leavers. However, Internet forums, FarceBook, and Twatter are littered with examples of Leavers telling Remainers they are ‘Traitors who should be arrested, marched out, and shot at dawn for Treason’, and other expressions to similar effect.

It’s been said to me - both on FarceBook and face-to-face - on a number of occasions. I see just as many, if not more, ‘sore winners’ on the Leave side as I see ‘sore losers’ on the Remain side.

There are some Brexiteers who greeted the orignal case with acclaim when they won, and who now say this ruling is unimportant.

I've always found his opinions to be incredibly measured. I'll be amazed if I'm wrong. It'll be around two weeks before we hear the Supreme Court's decision.

The outcome of the Supreme court judgement will revolve entirely around what fresh material may be uncovered by the enforced release of material by the Parliamentary request. I doubt any private communications will be released as this would be in breach of EU law on data protection.
The Independent sets it out thus:
Only a summary of the Scottish Court’s reasoning has been released, with the full judgment to follow on Friday. Meanwhile the High Court in London has today released its reasons for rejecting Gina Miller and John Major’s legal challenge to prorogation. Its judgment is a powerful restatement of the orthodox legal view, and firmly and rightly rejects the constitutionally dubious argument that parliamentary sovereignty permits or requires the courts ‘to exercise hitherto unidentified power over the Executive branch of the state in its dealings with Parliament.’ The circumstances and reasons for proroguing Parliament are for the Government to decide.

The Government is bound by law in Scotland and Northern Ireland, just as much as in England and Wales, which is partly why litigation was commenced in all three places. It will now be for the Supreme Court, which hears an appeal on Tuesday, to decide whether the advice to prorogue Parliament is for the courts to decide and, if it is, whether Tuesday’s prorogation was unlawful.

It is axiomatic that Democracy can only function when the Executive, Legislative and Judiciary remain entirely independent of one another.

Very clearly these lines have been blurred in recent weeks by unscrupulous MPs usurping the role of the executive and involving the Judiciary in decisions that rightly are the remit of the executive.
A partisan speaker has colluded with the executive opposition to enable these outrages to occur.
    Remainiacs may find it very amusing to be scoring all these supposed goals but the law of unintended consequences may well create innumerable own goals in the future besides creating havoc within our unwritten constitution.
    Erskine May was written for a time when MPs had honour and integrity. The need for a written Constitution becomes more compelling by the day.

This is not a new problem. Oliver Cromwell had it in a nutshell:
It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government.Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth? Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?

Diplomats and officials are “tearing their hair out” at the prospect Jeremy Corbyn winning the keys to Downing Street amid political chaos in London. They simply can’t understand why Labour have pledged to negotiate a “credible” Brexit deal with Brussels before campaigning against it in a referendum. Brussels sources also revealed they regret forming tactical alliances with Remain campaigners during the Brexit negotiations.


“They want us to negotiate a ‘credible’ deal and then they will campaign against it in a referendum? That is mad,” an EU source told the Times.

“How can we negotiate with people like that? Their divisions and magical thinking are as bad as anything the Conservatives produced – perhaps worse.”

Well I, for one, am not surprised in the slightest. However much the passive/aggressive victim-wannabes on the Leave side whine about ‘insults’ and ‘abuse’, Leavers resort just as frequently to that kind of behaviour, and my experience is that making death-threats is very much their domain. Never heard of a Remainer telling a Leaver they ‘should be arrested, marched out, and shot at dawn for treason’, but I’ve seen plenty of instances of Leavers telling Remainers precisely that.

Glasshouses, stones.

i'm struggling at work just now . i am a remainer with 2 children working on the mainland. i would stand up against racism anyway but with our children's (we have 5) friends and partners being from all over i feel i must stand up and could have a daily argument with the racists and ukip 'tommy robinson types. of course, i have become used to it around town and in the pubs and have to suffer people assuming their racism and brexit nonsense is 'how it is round here' but it is horrible to be called a traitor or 'hear 'you are going to end up in hospital saying stuff like that' when i questioned the ethics of a shop near us selling nazi memorabilia i was told 'i'll fucking kill you if i see you anywhere near my shop again' So , for me, it's a daily problem and not just a controversy in the press. i was going to stand for council but decided not to as i'm scared to be more visible here - especially as 10 ex bnp/edl types have recently been elected to our local council. our house is for sale - we want to move to scotland or lancaster. it's tragic what has happened to england - we are decent people are regularly bshouted down by the bigotry and aggression of the tories and their far right followers. in what sort of world would the likes of nigel farage or mogg or johnson have any sort of influence in a modern democracy? anyone else remember the opening ceremony of the london olympics?

I am determined that it should never be forgotten that Jo Cox was the first victim of Brexit
I feel the same about the memory of Blair Peach for a different reason, but racism played a part in both

Dame Caroline Spelman is on record as saying she has been driven out of politics altogether due to abuse and death threats.

Regarding the blanked-out Item 15, Rosamund Urwin, senior reporter at the Sunday Times, tweeted the redacted content yesterday, which she got from her original leaked copy, received in August. It's in her Twitter feed:

So lots of people asking what the redacted part is... Here goes:

What's different about the new Yellowhammer document that the government has just published compared with the one I got hold of last month? The heading.
What did the version I had say? BASE SCENARIO
Now what does the new one say? HMG Reasonable Worst Case Planning Assumptions

15. "Facing EU tariffs makes petrol exports to the EU uncompetitive. Industry had plans to mitigate the impact on refinery margins and profitability but UK Government policy to set petrol import tariffs at 0% inadvertently undermines these plans." [More to come]

"This leads to significant financial losses and announcement of two refinery closures (and transition to import terminals) and direct job losses (about 2000). (2/3)

Resulting strike action at refineries would lead to disruptions to fuel availability for 1-2 weeks in the regions directly supplied by the refineries." (3/3)
