Quote of the day (sorry, Brexit related)
The Guardian grouped together today's, 11Dec2018, newspaper headlines and quoted from some, including the Telegraph which I wouldn't normally see. The quote is from Allison Pearson who first says:
" I have never felt more ashamed to be a Conservative " and then follows it up with a coup de grace: "Oh, for God’s sake, what fresh Brexit hell is this?” and concludes “we continue to be led by a mule flogging a dead horse." |

Re: Quote of the day (sorry, Brexit related)
the best quote has to be from May.. "no deal is better than a bad deal". we should call the PM, Teresa May-be not.
in or out with no hoki koki..... |

I reckon she's hoping by delaying the vote, all the MPs will simply go for "whatever, I just don't care any more"
In fact if there's a 2nd referendum and that's an option on the ballot paper...

Re: Quote of the day (sorry, Brexit related)
there wont be a second vote. if there is then SNP will demand that Scotland has a second referendum.
if NI gets a soft border then the SNP will demand the same for Scotland. yes its the SNP that are throwing the spanner in the works. |

I thought the wee ginger krankie was well popular north of the border.
Another comment heard on radio 4 the other day 'has anyone tried switching Britain off and on again' ?

Don't do it - we may get Anna Soubry or Amber Rudd

Or even Angela Gruesome.
What a **** poor shower we are stuck with, but we get the politicians we deserve as we elect them.

so in reality its **** poor that the public mindlessness vote for the two big party's as a safe bet.. this is why nothing ever changes and the big two get more and more back door power using deep rooted media contacts etc.etc its up to the public to break the mould but they dont as they are big scaredy pussys who like to be bullied. dont get me started on the "its a wasted vote" malarkey. you just need to look at Scotland (be it right or wrong) to see that you can in fact change and vote for someone else and it does make a difference and its not a wasted vote. remember that the SNP used to be a bunch of like minded people huddled round a oil drum fire at the bottom of calton hill in Edinburgh to now be the major political party in Scotland and the third largest in the UK.
