"I think that May intends to bully the EU and Scotland into doing what she wants. I have a nasty suspicion that what she wants is to force Scotland out of the Union and the EU to refuse to give the UK any sort of a deal. I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that that her endgame is not a good deal for Britain but to reshape the UK in a way that leaves the Tory establishment in an unassailable position of power for the foreseeable future regardless of cost. " You have definitely gone mad, why would she want to consume us to a life of hell | |||

"You have definitely gone mad, why would she want to consume us to a life of hell" Less than 4 weeks ago I was being called mad when I said Hammond had sneaked an announcement into the budget that the retirement age is being raised to 70 and over... Only too 3 weeks for the report saying that it needs to go up to 70 for those 30 and under to surface... Now as you are so sure I have lost my mind, how do you think the unelected PM telling the elected Scottish Fist Minister that she will block any Scottish independence referendum prior to the UK leaving the EU? And how do you think threatening to turn the UK into an offshore tax haven will work with the EU? | |||

Didn't you tell everyone on here around December time just after the Supreme court ruling that Teresa May and the government would never keep to the timetable of triggering article 50 before the end of March. Now here we are and Teresa May and the Government have got the article 50 bill through parliament unamended, and will keep to the timetable of triggering article 50 before the end of March (due to be triggered on Wednesday 29th March). You said call me a space cadet if you turned out to be wrong, lol, so yeah, Mr space cadet, i'll take any predictions you give from now on with a huge pinch of salt. | |||

Britain is a Great country, we are big enough and good enough to make a success of Brexit, and I'm very optimistic and positive about the future of the UK outside of the EU. " See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. There seems to be a very strange confusion between thinking that brexit is a bad idea, and wanting the UK to fail. Yes, Britain is a great country, I agree with you totally. And I want it to continue to be great. Get even greater even. But I very strongly feel that the time and money wasted on leaving the EU and are not going to help that goal. I think the promises of a land of milk and honey that have been sold to the leave voters is a lie. I think the issues have been simplified to a point that they are inaccurate. We, as a country, will adapt. We will survive. We might even thrive... I hope we do! But just think how much better we could have been if all this money, and political effort has been put towards something more constructive and embracing. We keep repeatedly talking about funding the NHS, training medical staff, training graduates, workers, apprentices, etc etc etc. There was nothing stopping us doing that beforehand. Most of the gripes people have with the EU have either been the fault of our own government or completely fabricated issues by the tabloid press to sell more papers or suit the bidding of their owners. Do I want us to leave the EU? No Are we going to leave the EU? Yes Are the current government prepared and skilled for the task at hand? No Is this going to take longer and be a lot less rosy than we were told it would be? More than likely I think Are we going to get on and do it? Yes -Matt | |||

Say what you like about Teresa May but she is the Prime minister now and she is delivering Brexit. As for previous Prime minister Toxic Tony Blair, frankly anything he wants to do I'm inclined to do the exact opposite.
The 2nd most important position behind the Prime Minister is the Chancellor of the Exchequer. 2 living ex chancellors backed Leave and support Brexit, Norman Lamont and Nigel Lawson. | |||

So until both sides "Remain & Leave" can be realistic and accept the possible consequences of leaving vs possible benefits and have respect for our laws and procedures then the arguments won't stop until we get to the final deal."Yeah, I've often wondered how many leave voters realise that "project fear" isn't an actual thing. I mean the remain camp didn't sit down and say "Right Chaps, Project Fear it is!". It is a phrase coined by the leave campaign to discredit any warnings given by the remain camp in order to perpetuate the state of 'ignorance is good' that they were using to win the referendum. And of course, now cue the leave voters on here saying 'but remain said there would be a recession etc etc'. and yes, there probably would have been a recession had Article 50 been triggered the day after the referendum. But luckily Cameron on realising what a monumental cock-up he'd caused ran away with his tail between his legs. Thus giving time for the BoE to try and stabilize the ship somewhat. Will there be a recession? I don't know. Will we do better out of the EU? Well... I hope so... but I'm still yet to see how we are going to financially make up for all the cost of leaving and how we are going to save any money replacing the services we will lose. And that is not to mention the 'soft' benefits of the EU in terms of collaboration, culture, etc. So, yes both sides need to respect the consequences and potential benefits. I really do hope there are benefits. But as of yet, STILL, no-one has managed to actually come up with any other than the usual tabloid tripe of 'blue passports' and 'crown mark on pint glasses'. -Matt | |||

" Go on then name one prime minister that has ever been elected as prime minister? A party wins the GE and the leader becomes PM, if they resign etc a new leader is elected, has happened loads of times in my life time, eden,wilson, thatcher, blair all did now with cameron thats five out of the eleven in my life Not one living Prime Minister, including the current incumbent, thinks Brexit is a good idea you know.
Say what you like about Teresa May but she is the Prime minister now and she is delivering Brexit. As for previous Prime minister Toxic Tony Blair, frankly anything he wants to do I'm inclined to do the exact opposite.
The 2nd most important position behind the Prime Minister is the Chancellor of the Exchequer. 2 living ex chancellors backed Leave and support Brexit, Norman Lamont and Nigel Lawson.
Stormin Norman is not a particularly good choice. He took us into the ERM at a ridiculously high rate which resulted in us crashing out. As for Nige well he sold off the nation at bargain basement prices. Not good choices for confidence! But hey they are both doing well so it worked well for them. Nige enjoying life in his French chateau - nice pension merci beaucoup.

"May woulnt be a pm if the people voted." I've never even come close to voting Tory in the 34 years I've had the vote and even I'll concede that no other party in the country would currently come close to winning a GE. There is no opposition at the moment. | |||

"You have definitely gone mad, why would she want to consume us to a life of hell Less than 4 weeks ago I was being called mad when I said Hammond had sneaked an announcement into the budget that the retirement age is being raised to 70 and over... Only too 3 weeks for the report saying that it needs to go up to 70 for those 30 and under to surface... Now as you are so sure I have lost my mind, how do you think the unelected PM telling the elected Scottish Fist Minister that she will block any Scottish independence referendum prior to the UK leaving the EU? And how do you think threatening to turn the UK into an offshore tax haven will work with the EU?" That came from a "think tank" not from the government. Actually a left leaning think tank. Not saying that it won't be implemented...with an ever aging population and people living longer and longer...it makes perfect sense. Not sure if you have read the actual budget...or listened to the live broadcast as it was delivered. It has been published so is available for all to read. No mention of this by Hammond. Oh.... and people getting older and living longer has hot sod all to do with the EU or brexit. | |||

It's fabulous I'm loving the current Trotskyist flavour to the Labour Party, it's the long he leads the party, more it's consigned to the dust bin. All hail the mighty Corbyn.... The guy couldn't lead a kids tea party let alone the Labour Party and the nation. Is that an echo I hear, I'm sure it's an echo it must be an echo, everybody loves Corbyn he is real Labour | |||

It will be a conservative landslide,labour and liberalels have neither leadership, charisma. Neither of them have any truly viable plans, labour want to take us back to dark days of TU power houses, nationalised industry's and winters of discontent. It would be back to the days of the 3 day week and the power being turned off just as you need it most | |||
