Is Albania a race?

Incidentally it has been quiet on here whilst you were away on your sabbatical as we missed your BBC style PC attitude to everything and anything

Just heard Jo Swinson give an appalling interview, she is standing for the Lib Dem leadership. I hope for all Lib Dem voters she doesn't get it.

She was asked a simple question and completely failed to answer it. I could have put forward a better case for the EU than her.

Question: What would you say to a leaver to persuade them to change their mind about the EU.

Answer: (paraphrase) I think voting to leave was the wrong decision.

Question; Yes we know what you think but the question was how do you persuade a leaver to change their mind.

Answer: (paraphrase) We know a lot more today that we did in 2016.. waffle continued along the lines "they're wrong".

If I was a Remainer I would be cringing she didn't put forward one reason why we should stay in the EU e.g. trade will suffer, freedom of movement is a virtue not a sin, we can reform the EU from within etc.

When are Remainers going to learn if they want to win the argument you have to put forward an argument. They failed to do that convincingly in 2016 and they are still failing to do it today.

I am sure the Lib Dems can do better than this candidate.

And on the subject of Leadership contests Mark Harper (who?) is the twelfth candidate to announce for the Tory Leadership.

So I guess we can call then the "dirty dozen".

What about article 50 being triggered? I can't recall that happening either.
There will be no 2nd Referendum/Vote or whatever technical term you wish to bulls*** with.

That both sides made political claims is obvious. That's politics. Johnson, and the Leave campaign went further. They used a figure that didn't exist in fact and presented it as a fact. They lied.

That the case being brought is a political stunt doesn't affect that and is designed to expose his hypocrisy. Let's hope it works. He would be a disaster as PM.

The problem is its not a full whopper of a lie though!

We pay a fee to be in the EU? Yes or no


If we didn't pay that money and it was sitting around could we potentially use that on the NHS? Yes or no

The so called 'traditional conservative' supports nonsense court trials for dodgy political claims. But just because its good for his own 'remain' position

The so called conservative views the only likely Tory who could easily create an actual Conservative majority in the commons as a 'disaster'. Sure, I could understand you preferring other candidates but a 'disaster'?

Along with your other dodgy claims Its just another dent in your nonsense claims about being a conservative.

If I asked you where your politics differed from any of the self avowed supporters of the left on this platform I'd be very interested to know.

I'd say a good half of representatives from the left in parliament aren't the best minds on the left.....they are quota picks and look good but this weaker commitment to meritocracy shows when higher level mental stuff is required.

They show that they aren't there but they always push themselves forward because no on within their politics has the balls to say it.

I don't actually support it at all, but now it has been brought let's hope it works.

That has nothing whatsoever to do with my own position on Brexit. In truth I think Johnson becoming PM would probably make a no Brexit outcome more likely because he would cause the revoking of Article 50 by Parliament and a GE, resulting in a hung Parliament with a Labour led coalition as a consequence.

Johnson would further split the Tory Party and not heal it. Indeed unless someone can find a way of bridging the apparently unbridgeable chasms that exist and then selling that to the EU, at a time when their team is also changing, then we are headed towards Oct 31 without a prayer, whoever becomes PM. Parliament will not accept no deal so a vote of no confidence and a new Parliament looks to me to be an almost certainty.

Johnson is not the answer and I don't think anyone else will provide one either but stand a marginally better chance.

I have no wish to see a Corbyn led government as I have no more desire to see us swing left than I have to see us swing right.

As I have told you many times I am a "One Nation" Tory, firmly on the middle ground of responsible social democracy, with a conservative fiscal policy and a liberal approach to social needs. That is where I believe the Party needs to be for without the centre ground in it's grasp it will become confined to the noisy margins. Alongside UKIP and Brexit!

Like Heseltine I voted Lib Dem last week, for exactly the same reasons. Want them to throw me out too?

Wuuuuu?

So I can say I f***ing hate Albanian people and its not being racist?

You can be racist towards people from a certain country, last time I checked.

Having an issue with racism is not being PC, its being a decent human being.

Judging people because of what is on their passport is bonkers.
