Never mind Frangers, you’ll b.■■■■■■■■■■■ in yer kecks soon, when Labour.get back in,.all this misery plague and pestilence will soon be a memory…or will it?..hmmm.
After all you got your wish,.the biggest asset and vote winner for the Tories is history thanks to his glasses of Chardonnay 76 and vol au vents after work, ooh the drama.
Who knows your life’s dream may come true, a re referendum, and another one, (and another one,).until you get the desired result ,.and we are all saved.,… seeing as all us Brexiteers (at that time :unamused: ) are all in regret (according to you lot anyway) Nirvana at last.

I’ve heard your old mate Gordon Brown is putting himself up as an advisor,.a bit like Steve McClaren doing the same for Gareth Southgate…I know how you love my football analogies.

Soon we’ll be in Leftie and woke heaven, under the umbrella of the EU,.and utilising all the diversity brought about by the boatload…literally. :unamused: :laughing:
We can only dream. :laughing: :laughing:…watch this space.

Eh? The migration has exploded under tory rule - it was far less under labour.

Didn’t say it hadn’t, …but it’s ILLEGAL immigration which is the problem.
The French do not give a flying ■■■■ how many come over here, they could do their bit to prevent it or at least reduce it.
As somebody said it is more than likely part of the sour grapes attitude toward us leaving their corrupt gang, they ain’t exactly our biggest fans,.despite helping to bale them out in 2 wars.when they were on their arses.
There you go …‘‘I mentioned it once Sybil, but I think I got away with it’’ :smiley:

All that voting for Brexit “to reduce migration” and now it’s higher than it’s ever been and getting higher every year. Go figure.

Yesterday the Financial Times reported that migration figures due out later this month are expected to show net migration at record levels. It said net migration was at 504,000 between June 2021 and June 2022, but that the figure for 2022 could pass 700,000.
Today the Telegraph reports that the figure could reach almost one million.

To be expected when you have a whole parliament full of ministers across all parties who never wanted Brexit in the first place.

Really?
Did you miss the General Election in 2019? The people voted! The country spoke!
Did you see who was in the Johnson Cabinet? Did you see the unelected cabinet minister negotiating with the EU?

Yeah I saw it, the public also spoke in 2016 when Cameron massively underestimated the ill feeling in the country. The results came in and politicians have done nothing but play lip service since then because none of them ever wanted Brexit.

Absolutely.
Boris was not totally for it I get that, but at least he did the MP thing of ‘representation of the electorate’ and got us to ■■■■ out of it.
Not too much enthusiasm since then though, hence the engineered hotch potch and cluster ■■■■ state of affairs, convenientky fuelling the anti Brexit lobby . :bulb:
Hate to say it and open a can of worms,.but we need somebody like Farage to be in charge of it all,.who actually WANTED to leave.

So what do you think will happen Jeff assuming labour win the next election ?

To use your own phrase…'‘do you know how a forum works’,
Either agree or refute it.

You were promised that Brexit would be the cure all for everything.
You voted for it.

You haven`t got the promised Utopia have you?

It isnt because the Politicos are in a *conspiracy* to deny you your Unicorns and pots of rainbow gold. Unicorns dont exist.

Frangers to be serious,.I know you are an intelligent bloke, so why can you not see what I mean,.and why resort to sarcasm.
That is the whole point, the Torues did not want to nor expect to leave the EU,.so yeah lying was part of the going through the motions process, I’ll give you that.
My joke towards you about the football analogies are wearing a bit thin, but can you not see the Alan Shearer getting a job promoting Sunderland thing I keep rabbitting on about, it fits the bill to a tee on this, it is EXACTLY the situation we (both sides if the argument) find ourselves in.
They are BOUND albeit reluctantly to carry out the will if the majority that they do not agree with !!
Nobody who abides by the laws of human nature is going to promote something that they do not want nor have any interest in, so for the sake of the discussion just give a neutral stance for one minute and admit that it is so.

The only time that Brexit would be, or will be a roaring success is if it is managed by somebody or some party that has a penchant and a enthusiasm for it…like I said a vocal Farage type character and personality, irrespective of the fact you do not agree with him.
The 2 crappy parties at the moment,.and especially their dubious leaders on either side do NOT fit that bill.
Surely even you and me can agree on that. :open_mouth:…whatever our differing viewpoints are.
So dismount the high horse for a minute and think on it. :bulb:

Brexit will be, indeed is a success for a small number of people. For the country as a whole it isn`t ever going to be a good thing.

Going with your idea, why would having a Farage in charge make a difference? He is just another one of the liars and snake oil salesmen.
He can, with all the others promise the world, promise the unicorns and gold, but they don`t exist in the real world.

The whole world is seeking better trade deals everywhere. When this current Gov gets a new trade deal (no matter how rubbish it really is) they sing out loud.
So why is leaving our biggest and nearest (transport costs increasing) free trading zone behind a good idea?

The only (almost) economist who thought that Brexit was a good thing was Minford. He was also a colleague of Thatcher and admired by that great economist Liz Truss…
Minford predicted that Brexit would decimate UK manufacturing and farming. I repeat he thought Brexit was a good thing!
He also predicted a cut in UK food prices post Brexit.
Looks like he got one thing right, just a pity it wasn`t the food price thing.

No matter who is in charge 2+2 will never make 5. Brexit, as advertised, was a lie.

Johnson was a ■■■■ good vote winner. Again and again he won elections.
I don`t know why, but he certainly convinced loads of perfectly normal people he was the one to vote for. Farage too had good communication skills.

Being a good communicator does nothing to make you right though, does it?
History is littered with good speakers who, in their time were seen as great by millions of decent people, but with time are seen for the charlatans they are.
Look at the message and any facts purporting to support it, not at the person doing the talking.

Johnson might be a Jack the lad in a boozer up for a laugh with you, his pal.
(When he isn`t calling us “drunk, criminal, aimless, feckless and hopeless”, of course)

Nobody would ever put their job on the line by the sacrifice of resignation, especially an intelligent intellectual like Cameron…, and especially one in THE top job at the top of his tree, if they were not presuming absolute surity that they were on to a cast iron dead cert with their plan .

He just took it for granted his new deal would swing the vote, but he underestimated the hostile view many had (have) of the EU, its corruption and it’s pseudo ‘4th Reich’ superstate type path.
But apparently the likes of Frangers bizarelly and illogically disagree on that. :smiley:

Astounding!
You actually believe that the Johnson Gov was only paying lip service to Brexit?

I can see that Johnson has no idea about what to do with his election victories, but didn`t he try to square the circle?
He had a pro Brexit manifesto and a new pro Brexit majority on side. He had all the tools anyone could have expected. He appointed a non elected Minister. His Cabinet had members of the ERG.
OK, Farage etc are like the bloke in the pub: “England would have won the World Cup if I was the manager” but really?
Maybe you think the gobbie bloke with the pint would have done better, but he has never been voted into the UK Parliament.
Talks a good game…

What absolute rubbish all that above is (especially the bit in red), and again just shows your typical immature generalisation towards people who happened to vote to leave the EU. What people were actually hoping for was much simpler, action on things like controlling immigration, governing our own rules and laws and above all else for the selected party of the day to actually put the people of the UK first above all and anything else. No-one was expecting pots of gold, rainbows and unicorns, but I guess you can’t help with the smart arse responses again.

There has been this narrative out there for such a long time now that actually being patriotic towards your own country and caring for its needs and people first is a bad thing and it genuinely baffles me. Words like racist, bigot, xenophobe, little islander/Englander/Britain etc regularly appear as a counter response.

Fair comment, but how many of the posts actually pertain to ‘‘immigration’’
As usual it has been used as a vehicle to concentrate on Brexit alone by those with an obsession towards it.
I find myself using that noun over and over again in posts and replies to yourself btw.
Add it to your list of ‘robroy bingo’ you informed me about, because I’m expecting to use it many more times if you carry on as you do. . :smiley:

But Cameron thought his job, and his party was already on the line.
UKIP were taking some of the Tory vote, and there were rumblings that some MPs might go over to them.
He needed to promise that referendum to keep the Tories together, rather than from any concern for democracy or the country.
He believed Brexit was a bad idea for the country, but started it all off!

Having given in to the right wing of the party once, all PMs since him have had to pander to the minority wing of the party the ERG. They are not about the best for our country but about what is best for a small proportion of the country.
Oh! And what is best for a few others of course. Putin`s mates who donate to the Tory party and throw boozy parties, economic migrant Murdoch, and other various party donors and helpers.

The way it has gone the Tories of today bear no resemblance to the party of McMillan, nor even that of Thatcher. They talk of her, but I doubt a single one of the present Cabinet would get a start in her Gov.
I have little time for her politics, but I feel she did believe in what she was doing. The present lot are charlatans and incompetents.
Not a single principle amongst them, saying anything to get a vote*.

*And so back to Johnson and how he wins votes.
