Good to see you have realised that.

Sovereignty is out of the window as Mrs May asserts her self given right to avoid parliament.

Brexit is a hollow sham for leavers too.

I think a brexit tax for them to pay for it is just and reasonable.


Do you know what that word means?

I wish you would.

We are leaving. Deal with it.

And if we don't get full control of immigration then expect a massive UKIP vote at the next election.

I'm dealing with it. I understand we are leaving. If you'd taken any notice of what I've written in the past you'd know this.

But my point remains, what happened to the scaremongering about Turkey joining the EU?

Are you saying Turkey won't join one day?

Not anytime soon. There's loads about the issue earlier on in this thread. But we were promised millions of turks swarming our shores by certain sections.

There could never be free movement for Turkey it would lead to mass unemployment in the EU the French blocked this at first it was a long time ago but the size of the working population in Turkey makes it untenable so how could that change.

Precisely. Or we could have vetoed their entry ourselves if we hadnt 'taken back control'. Now we will have to hope that another country makes a decision that we have voted to forego.
I do like your idea of a brexit tax though to plug the 122billion OBR estimate that the economy will be smaller in 2017/2018 and the additional 50billion it will cost us to leave. It was made quite clear that the 50% temporary tax due to the financial crisis and was dubbed the banker tax (as banking bailouts cost 133billion).
However the brexit tax will need to be paid by all although pensioners should have the triple lock removed and we will have to accept less funding for nhs, education, police defence and other public services but everyone should know that the additional tax is due to our decision to leave. The popularity of a populist vote, no matter how irrational, may then focus peoples minds to focus on the consequences of their vote.

Another rich, privileged leftie is 'concentrating on the fight against the populist right' following the Brexit vote. Does he, and his ilk, realise that making these loftie proclaimations on how people should think and act, only drives the ordinary voter into the hands of the Tories and UKIP?

[Link]

This is an observation, not a trigger for a load of defensive abuse from the usual suspects, but the left in the West appears to be in a terrible mess. They appear to have no coherent policies, no visionaries, no leaders with guts and idea how 'progressive politics' should be applied to a fragmented but (as contradictory as it sounds) inter connected globalised World.

If people like this actor are going to be the 'voice of progressive politics' then the political class of the left must be ideologically dead. I do believe that part of this is driven from the 'progressive lefts' failure to deal with Globalisation. Globalisation is, conversely, totally what the left is about and not about at the same time. It's big business (boo from the left) but criticise freedom of movement and it is 'racism'.

Democracy needs credible opposition. It looks very much like we are in a period where the right can proceed unopposed in governance for a decade. The left needs to get its act together.

All very interesting Matthew but there is nothing in that article that say's Michael Sheen is a type of leftie that you find so abhorrent, is there?

You are just trying to smear him to make you and your self-righteous politics feel better about yourselves.

Bit sad really, isn't it?

Let's keep hoping they don't.

IMO leavers should be taxed with a brexit charge the 48% remainers have no representation in parliament.

It's a very good job that your O counts for zero.

An interesting idea, but ukip have been elected with a 13 seat majority in the commons and would like to do away with parliamentary democracy to really give one final push to send our economy over the edge....and then the 'popular' press will blame 'remoaners' and immigrants for raising our national debt to 2trillion by 2020 (in 2010 it was 1 trillion).
