I think you need to have a good look at the EU and what it wants to achieve before accusing me of wasting your time. If you don't like answers don't ask the question.

Unknown user Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) Thank God I'm no in London tonight! I'm starting to think there won't be a Brexit in the near future. Ages ago I opined that a long extension was most likely but recently everything's been so much more frantic and that possibility has seemed remote. But now, I realise that the DUP won't have May's deal and they won't have no deal. They won't accept anything other than a frictionless border with the republic which can't happen as things stand with no deal, and any alternative would mean an open border there and some sort of border in the Irish sea between them and the rest of the UK. And anything that they see as putting a wedge between them and the UK is basically satan. They won't allow either of these outcomes as long as it's in their power, and if there's an election where they lose that power and one of those things happens, they'll go ****ing postal. Say what you like about Ulster unionists, but they're not the type to compromise on their beliefs. This is going to get messier.

Victorian Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I used to think a change of course could be carefully and respectfully explained to the masses. I now know I was wrong. Not a chance. Some of these people are crazy. Lots of them. I used to pretty much dismiss the notions of unrest and violence in the event of something manifestly different to their idea of a pure Brexit.

Francis Albert Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Donald Tusk says that that another vote is justified by the fact that the 2016 vote is just the second vote since the first vote 1975.

I don't care what your educational qualifications are. I have lived through more than 40 years of the Tory party hating the idea of being "ruled by Brussels". You are driven by idealogy and not reality. I asked you about the Lisbon treaty and your allusion to upcoming threats from that treaty - you have failed to reply to or acknowledge my questions. So , as far as your Masters/whatever are concerned ; I have lived & worked in both NL & Germany for US multinationals . I know how the EU works, I've been there & I've done it. It's amazing, but we're gonna turn our backs on it to "take back control", stop Europeans draining the NHS , etc, etc, <insert trope of choice>. I cannot believe that you proclaim your academic achievements and in the same breath show such utter ignorance of how the EU works, how the UK works within the EU and , frankly, the utter bullshit you spout ie Turkey - you are aware the UK has a veto on this ? If not you should be and if you are not you should know better. I work within the reality of what I have seen & experienced - you work within your reality of what you don't like - you don't like it from an idealogical perspective. Your last sentence - well, where to begin. Your opinion is your opinion but don't insult me by suggesting I asked questions of you because I didn't. Your opinion carries no weight because of your "Masters" . Brexit hasn't failed , it will happen, but idealogues like you don't care - it must happen in any form. That's what Brexit has become - Brexit in any form, at any cost. And there will be a cost. But better that the UK screws it up than Brussels, eh ?

During the Indy ref Scotland was told we (The UK) are a family of Nations. Nations! “A community of people inhabiting a defined territory and organized under an independent government; a sovereign political state....” The second largest NATION in the UK family of nations rejected leaving the EU.

Cade Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) Grieve is not going to be de-selected. The confidence vote of his local party has no effect other than a protest. There is no mechanism either within Parliament or the Tory party to remove or deselect an MP. The 182 angry gammons who voted against him are not going to be able to remove him.
