A friend of mine (now ex-friend) a Brexiter said to me about the Irish border today (bearing in mind I'm half Irish and he knows it and I'm living in Dubs now) - "Give NI back to the Irish and that will stop the dross entering the UK via that route".UK is the laughing stock of Europe (and the rest of the world) right now... sad sad state of affairs.
"Parliament will now sit for little more than a week from 3 September, before breaking until 14 October, when a new Queen’s speech will be held setting out what Johnson called “a bold and ambitious domestic legislative agenda for the renewal of our country after Brexit”.How can an unelected PM block a parliament of elected MPs?? Oh and tell the queen what to do... is that not shocking anybody? How is that not unacceptable to normally wired people?! Hiding behind consistutionality claims is just pathetic.
I have just spent the past 30min Reading the comments under the latest Brexit article on BBC. The brutality of the comments on there and the clivage of opinions is truly demoralising.
This vote and its catastrophic interpretation is about to split this country wide open. If a severe recession was also to ensue, it will really set us back... not just economically (and who cares at least on this forum, as we’re all fairly well off, definitely middle class) but socially. It would take decades to rebuild a national unity and sense of self belief as a nation.
How did we end up here?
It’s like a horrible car crash happening in slow motion!
Anyone see Years and Years on BBC? Shockingly like now it's was supposed to be a Black Mirror UK in a few years time type thing...

The queen is nutral politically. She always approves what she is asked to do by a PM.it’s protocol and a formality.What on earth makes you think he told the Queen what to do.
Tellingly (at least for me) there was a female MP who said early in the reports yesterday something like '......and he's put the Queen in a terrible position'
Not been repeated in any of the broadcasts I've seen. I rather suspect someone told her the Queen has better advisers than just about anyone, but what do I know.

There's no comparison with Germany circa 1936 imho and tbh I don't think it does the Remain camp any good with comments like that and only makes people like me in the neutral camp think 'Are all the other scare stories regarding when we've left the EU bulls**t too?'but now I fear we're Germany 1936, Boris is pushing his Enabling Act, we're going backwards because Brexifear has turned a lot into NeoNazis, just look!
Wattie - I think if BJ was stabbing someone you’d call it self defence and totally acceptable."Parliament will now sit for little more than a week from 3 September, before breaking until 14 October, when a new Queen’s speech will be held setting out what Johnson called “a bold and ambitious domestic legislative agenda for the renewal of our country after Brexit”.
In practice, given MPs do not sit on most Fridays, they are only likely to lose between four and six sitting days in parliament. MPs would have been due to hold conference recess anyway, from 12 September until 7 October"
Overhyped, overstated, nonsense by Remainers who have had their little scheme to derail things upset. Very clever of Johnson as it keeps him a step ahead for now. Cant understand why people are bleating about him saying he wouldnt do it etc....you never tell your opponent what you're going to do- you lose the element of surprise then.
Whats even funnier is some of these Remainers wanna stay in Europe but leave the UK!!! Sturgeon.
You'd struggle to make it all up!
Mods - can this thread be closed before it rips the forum apart. The rhetoric is getting far to noisy.
That’s a good idea, we can then ignore those with the winning total and keep going as is.I suggest we submit a poll and let people vote if they want a threadxit
More total nonsense in response to facts.....and now we’re onto stabbing hypotheticals?Wattie - I think if BJ was stabbing someone you’d call it self defence and totally acceptable.
Amazed how this anti- democratic move doesn’t shock you, I guess democracy isn’t a requirement for everyone.

Indeed, he will get it doneI like Boris...There said it...At last someone with a pair of **** to do what they say they will no matter if it's wrong or right....I was a reamainer before anyone says anything....and I have no political persuasion but if I have to watch that communist Corbin open his month once more I think I'll scream...What a cock nostril...If he every runs this country I'm moving abroad.
