Not near as offensive as being called a fuckwit or racist or mentally deficient. and by the way it is leftards protesting in the streets because they cannot accept a democratic vote. That is even more offensive.

Ignoring them is far more satisfying and makes life a lot pleasanter.

Very true. Now we have had an election and proved even to the most retarded that leave has won by an overwhelming majority.

Compo got such a drubbing his arse cheeks outshine Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

aye, right. in my life - in the workington constituency- many of my friends are upset and worried about the future. at work some have been very vocally ukip and brexitty and i've learned to keep quiet to avoid arguments (it's tiring, i don't like anuse and it gets us nowhere) personally, i am not particularly bothered about brexit but am always anti-tory as i worry about public services (i work supporting disabled people in west cumbria) sorry, i'm getting distracted. anyway - some people are upset and worried, some will be pleased at a rejuvenated tory government. but as ever, a majority of people aren't particularly bothered and mistrust or dislike all politicians. calling any group 'intolerant, bigoted, ugly etc....' doesn't do anyone any good. surely we all come across people in all walks of life who may have different views but we would never label an individual in this way. of course it is a lot easier to see the world in black and white if our only relationship is with a computer screen. or the daily heil.

A perfect summary: The daily Wail has the rights of it, not the shoutie leftards on this forum.
"Britain’s divide isn’t North v South or red v blue. It’s between the ugly intolerant Left and the rest of us
The real chasm which has arisen is between a Conservative party that committed itself to fulfilling the will of the people, and two Left-wing parties which had devoted the past three-and-a-half years to subverting it.

It is a divide between people who have real-world concerns and those focused on niche and barely significant ones. It is a divide between those who worry about the way they are governed, how the nation will fare and how high immigration should be and those who hector them as backwards or bigoted for even noticing such things.

How, you might ask, have we reached such a state? There is a clue in the Labour Party’s dysfunctional reaction to its catastrophic defeat on Thursday.

Even after the Conservatives won in a near-landslide, the Leftist automatons that run the party are choosing to learn nothing.

They are not using this time for self-reflection or to work out how they approach this new division. Instead, they’re stuck on repeat – at increasing volume."
and if further proof is needed.

As Backwoodsman has posted the same copy'n'paste' argument here as elsewhere, I'll copy my response as well:

Backwoodsman: Just to correct a couple of comments in your copy/paste:

One of the bast pieces I’ve read, in the aftermath of the GE....

”So congratulations if you wanted Boris Johnson as pm.

Please don’t celebrate too much though as you have work to do. You see us remoaners have spent three and a half years now telling you brexit was wrong but we’ve finally and completely lost. There’s pretty much nothing we can do now to stop it.

So, it’s over to you leavers. You need to get yourselves into gear to make it work. We need to see some of these benefits you’ve been able to see yet unable to properly articulate since 2016.

I hope you don’t mind but I’ve taken the liberty of writing a to do list for you.

1. Get brexit done please. When we say done we mean as promised so we’ll be looking for trade deals with the EU, Japan, Australia and Canada etc. In fact there’s about 40 deals covering 70 countries that need to be done please. Also with the US that doesn’t involve the nhs or chlorine. We want what you promised us. That was that we’d be no worse off than when we were an EU member. You need to crack on as this was promised by the end of Jan. You have seven weeks.
I expect to see us out of the EU by the end of January, in fact, this has been promised. There will still be negotiations needed to confirm our ongoing trading position with the EU

2. The nhs. We want the cash that was promised please. £350 million per week is about 72000 nurses so please get recruiting. This is important.
£350 million was not promised. This has been explained before. The comment on the bus listed what we pay to EU each week, and suggested we could spend it better, with more being paid to NHS. Nowhere did it claim that the whole amount would go to the NHS.
Oh, and £350,000,000 per week equating to 72,000 nurses? This means nurses are paid over £4,000 per week. Figures worthy of Diane Abbott


3. Scotland. Ok so these guys were promised they would remain in the EU if they remained in the UK. They’re pretty pissed. In fact they’ve voted almost exclusively for the SNP so they might want to leave. Equally you said the UK wouldn’t split so you’ll need to both grant Scotland its independence and keep it as part of the United Kingdom. Good luck squaring this circle. NB. This is urgent.
No. Scotland were not promised that they would remain in the EU if we went for Brexit. They were told that if they went for independence (at that time) they would no longer be part of the UK, and so would lose their membership of the EU. If they were no longer part of UK then they would no longer be part of EU. If they remained part of UK then they would remain part of EU as long as the rest of UK did. This may be difficult to understand, but please try.

4. Northern Ireland. Oooookay then. You’ve really buggered this one up. There’s a chance they could look to reunify with the republic now because they didn’t want to brexit. Regardless you’ve caused instability there where we and they can least afford it. NB. This is also urgent.
There have always been calls in Ireland for re-unification. Whether Brexit makes those calls stronger is debatable.

5. The economy. Johnson keeps talking about unleashing the potential of the country. We need to see this soon if possible. We don’t want to see the downturn that “project fear” predicted. We don’t want to be poorer. We don’t want to lose out.
The pound has already rallied, and the FOOTSIE 250 has also seen improvements. It seems the financial industries can see benefits which you cannot.

6. You’ll also need to “bring the country back together”. This might be tricky as a lot of people seem to be really really angry with each other.
If Labour had won, and if they had proved to be a Remain party (rather than sitting on the fence) there would still have been a need to "bring the country back together". So this is a rather pointless point

That’s as far as I’ve got. Should keep you busy. So go and get all british about things. Roll up your sleeves, pull your socks up, dig deep and deliver what you promised.

And remember if you fail to deliver any if this it’s on you, brexit and Tory voters. You wanted this so badly and now you have it. We honestly hope we’re wrong and that you can make a success of this but if you can’t then we will forever tell you that we told you so.”


Next time, try and come up with your own arguments, rather than some unattributed copy'n'paste.

While the signing of the Withdrawal Agreement looks certain (bar something like the ERG refusing because it is too soft for their tastes, for example), we need to remember that this does not address anything about a lot of important matters such as trade, which is actually a much tougher battle than the WAB. For example, how to resolve the different objectives of the EU and the US and sign new trade deals with both will still need sorting out. The decision to leave will be confirmed. The destination has not been.

Condemnation from within the ranks!
Rather hard to deny.
But with a weak leader due for the compost heap what else can be expected?

Meanwhile Boris's bright star is in the ascendancy. Happy,happy days!
Now we can look forward to the overhaul of the BBC
the fixed term parliament act
The supreme court(hopefully restoring the judicial functions of the Lord Chancellor)
Delivery of brexit(deal or no deal) But the EU will now have to act seriously - playtime is over, and no deal will hurt many in the EU, especially Germany.

"getting Brexit done."

Quite frankly, if you are saying this you are brain-dead. Brexit will not be "done" within ten years, possibly longer. The racism of brexiteers (the main driver of their thinking) will come back to bite them big-time. And there is absolutely no guarantee of a trade deal by Johnson's promised deadline. In fact, if he hasn't gone crawling to the EU for an extension within six or seven months I'll eat my hat.

One more thing. The appalling stats for A&E waiting times, the worst ever, and a national disgrace caused solely by Tory misrule, should have been released yesterday. Some "watchdog" or other forced a delay until today because "things like that shouldn't be released on polling day." Well I bloody well think they absolutely should be. In a democracy we should have all legitimate information to hand before we vote. It wouldn't have made much difference because parties aren't allowed to make hay on polling day, but a very important principle of democracy was breached there.

Yes, that is the way negotiations should work. But the EU seem to work on the basis of "tell us what you want, and we'll tell you why you can't have it". Which means that when the UK puts a proposal on the table the EU can choose whether to accept it, or to have the UK leave with no deal.

At least we will leave with a deal. Question is how long will it take?
According to Boris, the end of 2020. But it is an assumption that "we will leave with a deal". Boris says that that is what he wants, and I believe him. But no-deal (WTO terms) remains on the table, at the least as a bargaining chip.
No-deal will only be needed if the EU prove unwilling to agree suitable terms, (within the timescale) but the possibility of no-deal might encourage them to be more reasonable.
People will remember the EU saying that when Boris took over there could be no re-negotiation of Mrs May's deal. Within 3 months there was a new deal on the table. Boris clearly knows more about negotiating than Mrs May did, and possible more than the EU team. He says we will leave by the end of 2020 (preferably with a deal) and I believe him.

Given Johnson's campaign, plus a hard line element and arguably over confidence, I am fairly certain they will decide against and stick to the Dec 2020 date. Whether a deal of any kind or we leave with no deal at that point (as some ERG member claim they were promised) can be agreed in that time remains to be seen.

"At least we will leave with a deal. Question is how long will it take?"

I wonder how that deal will go down in Northern Ireland where the DUP may feel they've been sold down the river.

Finally, a parliament committed to getting Brexit done. All those standing for the Conservative Party have already pledged to vote for Boris' deal, and they hold the majority of the seats.

Onward and upward! (and 'outward')

The telegraph:
Tories more popular among working class than rich, new general election poll shows
Evening Standard
UK opinion polls: Conservative Party to win more support from working class voters than upper class this election
Guido Fawkes
New polling from YouGov shows a twenty point lead for the Conservatives amongst C2DE (working-class) voters

The gruniard
'I've never known voters be so promiscuous': the pollsters .

Hilarious!

More bad news for the Brexit-Bunch as the UK faces a cliff-edge on trade...

” By compulsively declaring that he will get Brexit done, the prime minister is desperately and dangerously diverting attention from the harm that Brexit will do.”

Ah well, at least we’ll have ‘Taken are cuntry back’, and....unicorns!

Compo behind the curve as usual!
Corbyn has just called on the government to activate the Bellwin scheme to provide financial support to communities affected by flooding. The Bellwin formula makes funding available immediately to local authorities, such as those dealing with flooding in the Midlands and Yorkshire. An obviously good idea from Jeremy Corbyn. Which is probably why the Prime Minister activated it 3 days ago…
As one more polite commentator says:
"Scared chickens watching their increasingly shrinking poll numbers, frantically running around trying to politicise any disaster for their own political ends. Completely lacking in competence and morals."

Seems a fair summary to me.

The economy is in tatters

Best not talk about Germany then!
UK projected growth 1.3%(the same as France)
Germany 0.4%
Italy 0.1%
Oh look! Labour antisemitism!
In May, the Equality and Human Rights Commission announced an inquiry into whether Labour had "unlawfully discriminated against, harassed or victimised people because they are Jewish".
Oct 12, 2019 - Members of Labour's ruling executive have privately voiced fears that the Labour Party risks bankruptcy over the antisemitism investigation.
Oh Look! Why would they be saying that do you think?

And you are usually so insistent on accuracy, Nigel! Jim did not comment on whether rape was acceptable to conservatives. He remarked that interfering in a rape trial seems to be. That's different, I think you will agree.

'A very slow-cooked Bullshit-Casserole' - the Independent's view of the litany of lies that was Johnson's speech at the launch of the Tory election campaign.

Why would anyone expect anything but lies from a serial-liar? He wouldn't know truth if it bit him on his big, fat, Belgium-sized arse.

Break with tradition - on the day the Prime Minister visits the Queen to confirm the general election, a cabinet minister is forced to resign over his part in the interference of a rape trial leaving the Welsh Tories leaderless in an election to select a Government to guide Britain out of the unholy mess Brexit has caused so far (and Britain's not out yet)
The rape victim said not one of the minister's colleagues has contacted her over this FIFTEEN MONTH OLD INCIDENT
Bet she can't wait to get to the ballot box to put them in office again

Interesting that Bercow who liked to be "innovative" has perhaps had a parliamentary response. As yet, in a break with tradition, the ex speaker has not been awarded a peerage.
How very sad!

Once again there is no response from the Brexiteers to a potentially critical report being withheld from the scrutiny of not only parliament but from the public of the UK.

Democracy eh ....................

Just what does Johnson have to hide I wonder.
