I hope the Conservatives whole “this election doesn’t matter because we never wanted it” election campaign comes back to bite them and Remain parties get a majority of MEPs.
Brexited | the worst threads live the longest
- Thread starter Silva
- Start date
But the wafer thing majority includes remainers (and the DUP). I imagine a few of the One Nation Tories will resign the whip in the face of no deal.
There's a killing to be made from Brexit, hence the high-profile names aligned with its harder variations (Farage, JRM, Johnson, Leadsom, IDS, Trump, Banks etc etc). From kickbacks to sweetheart contracts to current and post-career opportunities, the ruthlessly ambitious and greedy people listed are desperate to convince us that they have a mandate. Brexit is a con, and those people are treacherous.

Brexit is like a guy rolling down a hill to a swamp full of crocs.
We've been to the estate agent this week, our UK house will be on the market very soon. The prospect of Boris makes us even more determined to leave for good.Moving back end of this year!
Feck off you gormless pig fecker. You're the reason we're in the mess we're in.
A thousand times this.
Even if brexit had some merits, giving power to sell off what's left of this country to the blatantly corrupt tory capitalists, should be enough for any sane person to realise it's a monumentally bad idea.
I’ll buy it for £4.50 and access to my RedCafe account.
We won't get much more, it's what I'd describe as a definite first-time buyer property!Rent it out... Nobody is going to be able to afford a mortgage when interest rates hit double figures
Do you think the £ has much more to drop?
Surely they can’t get away without calling a general election following a leadership change twice!
? Remember the Maybot election - they did.
If the UK goes for a no deal which looks more and more likely, there's a long way to drop.
Depends on the detail of any deal / no deal
Gut feel yes... Perhaps somewhere between parity and 1.10 ... I'm pricing some works at parity now... Some others at 1.05 but for sure I see a no deal dropping the £
Conversely that hurts one part but helps another part of my business so overall I have mixed feelings... But I suspect the pound will drop... Inflation will rise and following that so will interest rates
I feel a No Deal has already been somewhat priced in, so the floor isn't far off.
Another present for you - you share a birthday with Jacob Rees-Mogg.
I have a bank account with Revolut which has live exchange rates, living over in the states these days the £ dropping is beneficial for me now rather than what it used to be when i lived there, so think im gunna just change up all my monies now into $ and wait (if ever) the £ jumps back up.
It's gone from $1.31 to $1.26 in a week (even with strong UK data) after todays announcement it went upto $1.27 but i do see it going parity but i thought that would happen end of last year the way the trajectory was goin.
At the moment it's in a half-way house and has been for some time. When it looks as if there could be a deal the pound improves a bit and when it looks as there's less chance of a deal it drops a bit . It won't make a violent movement until the outcome is clear. But if it's clear the Uk will stay in some sort of BINO it will improve. However, if it's clear there is no hope of a deal I see it dropping like a stone again as it did after the referendum.
At least her emotions are honest. I'd cry too if I loved Britain and had led it in the fashion she has.
And who's responsible for the system?
Really wouldn't put it past the lying cheating corrupt tories to be vote thieves too.
Think this one really is down to the civil servants- parties can't influence local ballots.
They gave a ferry contract to company with no ferries
I think ineptitude rather than some machiavellian 4d chess (let's leave that to Corbyn and his unicorns)
Heh.
I like a pair of ripped jeans but those are in tatters.
That's a massive generalization.
Oh he will.
She's crying for herself, not Britain. Don't be fooled.
Its serving private self interest, not ineptitude.
Hard to choose. So much incompetence it is hard to decide.
Want to bet?
Tories will cling on to power as long as possible, its in their DNA and their opposition (individually and collectively) is so insipid they will only go when pushed and maybe not even then! Apart from perhaps the Blair years, (and many considered him Tory Light) the Tories would be considered, and consider themselves, as the natural party of Government in the UK, over the last century.
Collectively the left in the UK should be able to oust the Tories, but individually the parties of the left and those who lean that way, couldn't find their way out of a paper bag, even following the most disastrous Tory premiership in history the opposition couldn't get rid of the Tory PM and it took Tory rebels to accomplish that.
Anyone yearning to live under a far left or even left of centre Government needs to consider moving elsewhere, its very unlikely in the UK in the near future... but hope springs eternal, maybe the new leader of the Lib-dems might have a 'plan'?
Hubris generally brings down leaders and political entities.
But a hard brexiteer will lose support of the dup as it will mean borders in ireland. Then there has to be a GE by default.
I imagine the Party will do the usual: settle for what they consider to be the acceptable face of utter self-interest, in order to fool the public (again).
Either that or, with politics being so blatantly shameless and brazen now, they'll go ahead and give Boris the political prostitute free reign.

Rather interesting business strategy, tell me more?
