The modern day Conservative Party have clearly taken a hardline with the brutal aim of staying in power by whatever means possible. The red wall are central (at least for now) so in some ways Alex Johnson and his cabal are pussy footing to the red walls emotions. The Red Wall emotions will clearly be dropped at the point they become no use to Tories staying in power. Our standing on the world stage, our patriotic outlook, our values, our community, our reputation and image and even the continuation of the Union are very much secondary to whatever it takes to maintain a presence in control of the funds and decisions that come with the keys to number 10 Downing Street
Many people clearly don’t understand this. That’s why Tory policy doesn’t make too much sense to many people. It does however make perfect sense to just enough people to keep a majority. Anyone who thinks the current govt care less about world image and the Union really aren’t paying attention. Really sad to see another politician stayed today. Absolutely no place in society for this kind of thing. Awful news. |

Wife taught Paisley snr's granddaughter. His son has a church near us. She said the girl's parents were nice people. Our opinions on religion are probably the polar opposite to theirs. We are atheist fundamentalists.

Food price rises are terrifying, says industry
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58962049 It will be very interesting so see how the UK government manages to blame this one on Covid-19; or indeed the international container shipping crisis. It is clearly neither, but is actually Brexit related, whether that be due to higher wages to attracted farm workers, or higher haulage costs because of the shortage of truck drivers exacerbated by Brexit. I suppose they will try and blame the CO2 or natural gas prices. Whatever happened to The Govester's cheaper food post Brexit? Another almighty porky (excuse the pun)!! |

Maybe bringing in food rather than Gin in future 😢 Cheers Mr Mac |
Just in case those who are supportive of Brexit felt the problems were now in the past, alas, not so.
Here's the latest involving " how scrutiny works", or rather doesn't and that bastion of incompetence (not entirely unique in the court of the cult of Boris), one Lord Frost. Sorry to shatter any leavers tranquil delusions European scrutiny committee puts on stunning display of collective amnesia | John Crace | The Guardian |
How is Mr. Cash (and the little fat Lord Snowflake) surprised by this?
https://www.theguardian.com/politics...-row-claims-mp If one acts in bad faith in one part of a partnership, is it really surprising that the other partner is hesitant about continuing to implement other parts of said partnership? Especially, considering that the bad faith actor has not implemented his side of an earlier agreement? |

The UK signed the Withdrawl Agreement, all 2 zillion pages of it with no intention of carrying out the obligations, the EU were expecting this because of the way that the negotiations were carried out in such bad faith. The UK were convinced that they had a “negotiating position”, we never did, ever, and redline after redline passed, it was simply that the EU have rules for everything and we fit in with those.
Regardless of that we made it much worse by leaving ALL the EU regulatory systems, Transport, VAT, Safety, Labour, Aviation and others, we could have stayed in EASA but right wing ideology thinks we can do better living in isolation. |
There was a time when an Englishman's word was his bond. It seems those days have passed. Signing treaties with little intention of complying with them is not only disgraceful but is also undermining our position in the world. Or perhaps I am just a naive old git who doesn't understand the modern world.

Noticeable lack of Brexit defenders suddenly. I think that it has dawned on them that they have been sold a distemper ridden pup.

Or given up wasting their time and effort on people who have no intention of listening to any reasoned argument since their minds are made up? As I have said previously, the epithet "gammon" most definintely applies to the remainers on here.
