Sir Tarmo Kink Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 No, I just said he previously said he backed remain with no reference to the Tories. I’m well aware of his flip-flopping recently and using the Tory deal as an excuse to force another referendum. Such as when he listed all the negatives of the EU but said he wanted to stay in it anyway. He has changed sides so many times on this issue that he is unbackable. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36430606 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one politician has changed their mind on Brexit as much as Corbyn has.He’s been Remain, then leave, then ‘leave and absolutely no second referendum’, then ‘remain because I won’t back any Tory deal’, then neutral. And that’s not even every change he has made. The guy is unbackable, and I would much rather a Boris brexit than a Corbyn brexit (which isn’t, and will not be, a thing). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefybake Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 6 hours ago, Pet Jeden said: What extreme capitalism, exactly? On a world view political/economic spectrum of 1-100, where 1. is sell your own young into slavery, no welfare state capitalism and 100. is from each according to their ability to each according to their need communism, all post-war UK governments - Conservative and Labour- have hovered about the half way mark. In fact, they're probably about 48-52! A moronic construct, and a diversion from what is being said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying you have changed your mind isn’t a valid excuse, otherwise we would have second and third reeferendums for every referendum. You lost, Brexit is happening, get over it, respect democracy. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 There seems to be something of a remarkable coincidence in play here. Malky of the fifty posts per hour has seemingly disappeared but lo and behold along comes Tarmo Kink to fill the vacancy.However, just to really keep us all on our toes, TK's wordsmithing is much more similar in style to that of Oaksoft.All very strange indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're on to our 3rd General Election in the last 4 years, plenty people change their minds, or die or reach voting age, or just find out what exactly they were voting for, including the politicians. Nobody knew in 2016 that Brexit would mean a border down the Irish Sea for instance. What's undemocratic in asking them to confirm that's what they want, or negotiating a deal that doesn't require one, and put that to them?

We haven’t delivered Brexit yet so it would undemocratic to ignore the result just because a lot of people can’t accept losing. The next election to do with the EU shouldn’t happen until we have left the EU IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 So? Not one politician has changed their mind on Brexit as much as Corbyn has.He’s been Remain, then leave, then ‘leave and absolutely no second referendum’, then ‘remain because I won’t back any Tory deal’, then neutral. And that’s not even every change he has made. The guy is unbackable, and I would much rather a Boris brexit than a Corbyn brexit (which isn’t, and will not be, a thing).I can think of one. One who said that he'd support Remain, then said he'd support Leave. Who said that Leaving would mean a government being dragged down in years of negotiations then said the government would be able to negotiate an exit agreement within 11 months. Someone who voted against Teresa May's deal but who voted for a similar deal that was actually worse. A man who said that there would be no border in the Irish Sea yet who supports a deal which does just that. Someone who said we'd be leaving the EU, Deal or No Deal on October 31st. Quite a lot of flip flopping there. Compared to Corbyn, Johnston is even more all over the place. Not that the media ever bring it up as much. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Tarmo Kink Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 If you claim you were misled to vote leave, you're a fucking idiot. Yep. Every election/referendum has loads of scaremongering, propaganda and lies attached to it. The result of the referendum has to be delivered whether you agree with it or not, as that’s democracy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Spent a fair amount of time on Friday speaking with two people who are campaigning for The Labour Party - both spent most of the time talking about what is wrong with The Labour Party. Some of them actually don't know why they did or do vote labour. Pathetic really. In Alex Ferguson's autobiography there is a picture of him with Tony Blair and one eyed broon. He states that labour can always count on his vote! A lot of institutionalised wankers in that generation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
