Fullerene Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I know from my own work experience that when you don't know what someone does, it is very easy to convince yourself that they do nothing. I suspect that a lot of Leave voters have the same attitude to the EU. "I don't know what they do therefore they do nothing." I recall one colleague at the first job I ever had. He was made redundant. I remember going to his leaving do. Four days later, he was back. "Now they know what I do," he said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the EU stands firm as I expect it will, then no amount of semantic embroidery will alter the core problem of the Irish backstop. And if the political journalist mentioned above does her homework she'll find that the EU has a very good record indeed of penalty shoot-outs with member states. The only surprise in all of this is that May and her advisers still seem to believe that the deal she negotiated can be altered. I think the EU will cave. The alternative of No Deal would force them to impose a hard border in Ireland to protect the Single Market, the very thing the backstop is meant to prevent. The spineless MPs have failed to come up with a majority for anything else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the reality is that most are only in it for themselves and they also know that without the power of the banner behind them they would have little to no chance of being elected. We always knew it was corrupt, however we've reached a point where they don't even bother hiding it anymore and that really says it all for me............. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like all those who defied the Labour Whip over the Brexit votes are getting off free. If/when it comes to the crunch votes it will be interesting to see if there is the same level of dissent and, if so, the backlash. The only thing I take comfort from is support for the non/binding Spelman-Dromey amendment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got Corbyn where they want him, if he makes any move against them they'll all start squealing about momentum, antisemitism, bullying, etc, etc, etc. Edited February 1, 2019 by WATTOO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I am saying the messenger is injecting her own bias. This isssue aside, do you think that reporters are totally objective and that everything they report on is done without any personal angle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without her we wouldn't know that the Government keeps a file full of of potential constituency bribes for individual MPs.

Unless you work in this area, you don't really know it exists or what we do. Generally get a lot of colleagues who ignore us and pretend we aren't here, but as soon as something is wrong or missing at their end they are almost begging us to check if it is something involving a corporate action of some kind, because then we have to fix it and do their fucking jobs for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
