Shades75 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I've turned on Sky News and literally seconds into an interview with Philip Hammond on the economy there it is... "Strong and stable leadership". People voting for these drones simply don't pay attention. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However by the time we realise that Bexit is going to f**k our economy it will be too late to do much about it. What's even sadder is that there are folk out there who have began to realise the serious, negative economic consequences of Brexit yet will still vote Tory in large numbers in the stupid believe that this will somehow mitigate rather than exacerbate the problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brexit was 'done' by dint of the England's lower orders and, sadly, is irrevocable. Had almost nothing to do with the Tories. 'They' suffer from small-minded xenophobia to a degree that must be recognised by their schismatics north of the Tweed. The role of the Conservative and Unionist party, now, must be to secure as sensible a settlement as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brexit referendum was a scheme to satisfy the bellowing blazer wearing Shire Tories for allowing Cameron to be the leader, not in Tory HQ's wildest thoughts did they imagine that the British population would be so insanely stupid to vote it through. It had absolutely everything to do with the Tories, and the Brexit campaign to raise racism to the forefront of British politics, whatever the cost, by the likes of Johnson and Gove in the hope of advancing their own careers. The Tories are cynical scum who don't give a f**k about the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 It is nonsensical to suggest that the Tories - and I include Theresa May in her dismal tenure as Home Secretary - can be absolved of blame for Brexit; they repeatedly stoked the flames of xenophobia, promoted anti-immigrant sentiment, pandered to UKIPand routinely bashed the EU whilst utterly failing to make a positive, sustained case for membership, both in government and opposition. They are absolutely to blame for this clusterfuck. They helped to create the conditions, several high-profile MPs campaigned for Brexit (before and during the referendum campaign period) and now Theresa May as Prime Minister is essentially a prisoner of UKIP - which is largely a problem of her own making. Brexit had - and has - a lot to do with the Tories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the fact that the whole brexit referendum idiocy was concocted by the tory pm to prevent schism in his own party. Brexit is absolutely the responsibility of the Conservative and Unionist planks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see this with both England's White Van Man and Scotland's shortbread-tin politics. Twa cheeks, etc. The sane among us prefer one United Kingdom at the heart of Europe or, at worst, a sensible economic settlement which acknowledges that the EU has many facets including EFTA, EEA, Shengen etc. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the people who want to play a part in the world v the people who want to retreat to little England and abdicate responsibility for European stability.
