But right about the goons you call a national embarrassment. But 'twas ever thus; in all parties. Having said that, their are some backbenchers who do stand out, such as Frank Field, now Baron Field, but they are, regrettably, few and far between. If you believe that I have a bridge for sale! The 2016 referendum was called because Cameron was afraid of losing votes to UKIP; do you really think that the same threat and pressure would not have resulted in another one? Remainers, or most of us at least, respect the result; but in a democracy we are allowed to voice our criticism of it. In a democracy we are also allowed to campaign for a say on the effects of that result via a referendum on the WA. It is the Brexiteer attempts to stifle all debate on the subject that is undemocratic. I know the Brexiteer thinking: 52% to 48% victory for Remain; too close to call. 52% to 48% victory for leave; magnificent victory! Yes, it was a victory for your side; but hardly magnificent. A narrow scrape is more accurate. I am talking about exceptional politicians. Naïvety has nothing to do with that. I've already said what I think. The pressure from leave for a revote would have been weak and there would have been no second go. Remainers do not appear to respect the result; that's why you have been voicing your criticism of it constantly for the last 4 years! It was a magnificent victory because it was won against all the odds and polls. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notwithstanding the fact that the headline - almost inevitably - bears little resemblance to the article itself, it's an interesting read (There's something I doubted I'd say about an Express article). Interesting what Mr Kukies had to say: “German corporates, for all that I can tell, rely massively on wholesale financing offered from the City of London, so in that sense we will have to maintain pragmatism, no matter what happens." "...Maintain pragmatism": What a shame that we don't have government politicians who feel the same way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We now find today that “We are in very close contact on an hourly basis because the negotiations now have been intensified … There are 11 other fields of files that have to be negotiated.” What are all those 11 fields, because we only publicly know of three. If/when Macron does not back down over his fishing demands, then nothing is agreed and we are out No Deal, or will the EU now decide its a good time to cherry pick? Either way it's the time to ditch the WA too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably, UK scientists have come to one conclusion, EU scientists another. If the Covid crisis has highlighted anything, it's that scientists disagree. And why are you upset? The UK agreed to abide by EU regulations until the end of transition, hence the legal challenge (nothing will come of it anyway). The alternative would be for the UK's rules to be imposed on EU states. I thought that you were against that sort of thing? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Express sub editors always design their headlines to be sensationalist and as such they usually bear little or no relation to the actual contents of the article. To be fair, Express subs are not alone in this practice. Unfortunately, there are certain posters here who only read the headline, not the article. The obvious error in so doing has been pointed out to them on numerous occasions; but they never learn. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
