I should hope he wouldn't rape her!

Are we now finding reverse psychology offensive.

Or are the left choosing to be upset?

Yep, just like their playbook....most comedy is s***e now because of the left.....now it attacks on offensive humour that they don't like.

Even with something that they deem offensive.....a non threat....they have our Police actually looking into this crap.

The left/neo liberals can't meme...so what do they do...the EU ban memes.

Then with 2020 coming up some are saying that the next on the list will be anything they deem 'controversial' debate.

Anything they can't win at they look to ban.

And they have the gall to call right wingers Nazis.

The political system in the UK is not built to deliver on a high level concept, without a pathway to implementation, which divides the country basically 50/50.

Noticed anything about the last 3 years? What has been the 1 constant thread? Inability to deliver any kind of Brexit.

At best you will get a soft as a soft boiled egg Brexit, with a customs union etc etc.

 


Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

It isn't to be fair, nor will it.

Not that I agree with it.

I think it's being endlessly dragged out until a point that enough people just give up on it as an idea. Maybe that was the plan all along, by both our Gov and the EU.

So from that perspective it may be a battle of, for want of a less cheesy term, hearts and minds. By that I mean, with the EU elections now going ahead and a likely huge turn out for the Brexit Party, this keeps the pressure on. As long as the pressur eis on and there is fear of consequence, Brexit is still a possibility.

The local elections sent a message too, though I worry that the Tories and Labour might attempt to both shoulder the blame with a joint agreement that will just about keep the two party system in place. That's their main priority, their own careers, not the country.

I must admit that even I am bored with Brexit.....but hell...lets get to that 2000 pages!

What's happened has been a serious breach between the political class and the governed.....but that's been going on for quite a while in several other areas anyway......So I'm less angry about this particular disfigurement now....it's more a mixture of bemusement and cynicism now.

Labour MP's have been whipped, so no free votes and an impasse that doesn't look like shifting.

Once you scratch the surface you find it's a statement made in 2010 at a centre right MEP at a speech the BBC didn't quote to provide context. But let's all jump on the Volkswagen.

The Nazi slogan was also used to call someone else a Nazi, but you are using the headline to call the UKIP MEP a Nazi.

I'll deserve judgement until I see the full context of the speech he was critism.

He was also called "mentally ill" by a Green MEP. I can't think of a context where this could be acceptable.

But we all made decisions in the past that we may regret now "Pussay Patrol".

Suggest you question what you read before trying to jump on anything that is linked to your agenda.

Well we are going to have elections when we should have left in March. It will be interesting to see how the pro Remain and Pro Brexit parties do.

I think The Brexit party will be the single biggest UK party or at least I hope so.

UKIP are already the biggest UK voting block, and that's been one of our problems in influencing the EU as they pretty much reject everything (A bit like MPs in parliament and the British voting public).

I do think the time line is potentially shaping up in the UKs favour. The EU election will be split between UKIP/Brexit and Lib Dem/Change UK.

The Tories have been toxic over this issues for decades and Labour have no real policy or idea what they want to do.

After a heavy defeat in the EU elections May will be kicked out, Corbyn should but never will because of momentums poisonous grip on the party.

The EU definitely don't want to kick us out without a deal. They are running scared of that that scenario. They also won't kick us out without a PM. If May is kicked out after the EU elections we won't have enough time to sort a deal before MEPs take their seats.

That means we'll have a huge leave, and a huge remain block in the European parliament. One will be chasing EU reform, the other for us to leave. This will be the best chance for the EU to reform. If they continue to bury their head in the sand over the inherent problems with the EU, then there's no point staying in.

It's an interesting one. I definitely see most of the UKIP vote going to the Brexit Party and a sizeable number of Tory votes too. Labour doesn't really have a clear remain message , so maybe the Lib Dems will get some of their vote. The Change Party is too non specific too so I can't see them making inroads. I'd be shocked if the Brexit Party doesn't get the most seats by a decent margin. Labour second most.

It's going to be interesting yet tediously boring at the same time. The only thing we can be certain of is that after shorting the pound during the referendum, currency speculator Nigel is certain to make lots of money.

Funny how after conceding defeat on the night of the referendum he's now vowing to never give up fighting for brexit.

Yes, election fatigue is certainly setting in for most of us I think. I'm pretty sure the 'not another one' woman must have topped herself by now [Link]

So you support Farage who wants to privitise the NHS but you dislike the EU for reasons which include the idea they could privitse the NHS?

Why is what Farage may or may not want to do with the NHS important when he's not going to be in a position to affect change on it. If he were running for Tory leader you might have a point.

However, the EU's powergrab within member states means that the NHS question is a genuine concern to bring up.

I post stuff about Brexit without being biased unlike yourself.

Ps I never said I dislike the EU, I believe in democracy that's why I back Farage.

Leaving aside the fact that Farage didn't actually say that isn't this what "taking back control" is all about. It's all well and good a British politician making suggestions about how best to run one of our institutions but it's quite another when it's unelected pissheads in Europe telling us what we should be doing in our country
