All the Brexiteer promises have evaporated. The EU27 will offer a long extension, May will accept, the Cabinet will refuse, the economy will hit free-fall, by Saturday May will invoke Crown perogative, return to Brussels and revoke Article 50. By Sunday she will resign. By Monday we will be back in EU, Government will fall and we will have Corbyn Government by June. Because Tories say elections are divisive the Dear Leader will promise never to have another one. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/04/09/philip-hammond-suggests-mps-could-revoke-article-50-prevent/#comments So many good things in one paragraph - nearly time to crack out the EU duty paid Prosecco....watching 'disgusted of Tunbridge Wells' have apoplexy and destroy the tories almost makes all the hassle worthwhile....almost but not quite.

And who’s treating the UK with patience, not pressuring it into anything but letting it decide itself — even though the UK has decided to leave? Proud that Europe is taking the moral high ground, and everyone, including our British friends, can see now what people Jacob and his bully boys are.

Too few of those types for many a year now. Quite right. It's simply easier for people who dislike someone for their politics to try and character-assassinate them with ad-hominem attacks and spreading of misinformation than it is to combat their arguments, in the case of JRM he is one of the best speakers/debaters in politics - full stop. Very intelligent, informed, logical and fair minded from everything I have heard, so those who dislike him for whatever reason would struggle to out-think or out-argue him that's for sure, far easier to make snide remarks and cliched assumptions. It's very clear that the 'modern left', particularly, only care about politics; race, class, nationailty, religion - they're always secondary. The rhetoric typically goes - 'if you don't agree with my opinions and my politics then you're a subversive and ignorant _________ (insert insulting label)'. This is what we keep seeing, it's become totally predictable. Reaction to JRM is no different. Personally, I'd need to hear/see unequivocal proof of him sneering at the masses before I change my opinion of him even slightly... the same requisite is of course unneccessary with the likes of Emily Thornberry, Diane Flabbott and David Lammy among others - who show their utter contempt for the average Briton all too often and all too openly. On the contrary, I have heard a few different accounts from people online and on the radio that he (JRM) and his sister are decent and courteous people who have gone out of their way to be accommodating and polite/helpful while out on campaign and in surgery - okay this is anecdotal, but I doubt many different individuals would make such things up for seemingly no personal gain. Worth remembering JRM is also VERY popular among his constituents in N.Somerset too, so that is usually a tell. He's an eccentric, he comes from wealth and he's a bit of a toff - OK, not exactly a proloteriat everyman hero, BUT, that doesn't mean he isn't a decent, fair and trustworthy patriot does it!? At the end of the day, even though he is worlds away from myself and my background, I know who I'd rather have heading up our government and who I'd trust to do the right thing and make a better job of this mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too few of those types for many a year now. Not true there are many reasons to want to remain - two European world wars would be at the top of my list. All Brexiteers must take a long hard look at their views now - your previously erstwhile ally Peter Oborne has summed it up nicely. He has had the courage to say he was wrong to plough on, unreconstructed with Brexit at all costs. I don't need JRM to tell me - he moved his hedge fund to Dublin well in advance of any Brexit - that tells me all I need to know. I was a strong Brexiteer. Now we must swallow our pride and think again The economic arguments for Brexit have been destroyed by a series of shattering blows Britain’s departure from the EU will be as great a disaster for our country as the over-mighty unions were in the 1960s and 1970s When hedge-fund managers and the Communist Party see eye-to-eye on any question, it’s time to be concerned The European Union is not a dictatorship The UK will be weaker and more isolated Like almost everybody else I underestimated the importance of the Good Friday Agreement Phrases such as 'vassal state', 'empire' and 'supplicant' do not even remotely characterise our relation with Europe https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocracyuk/i-was-strong-brexiteer-now-we-must-swallow-our-pride-and-think-again/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
