I also agree with what you say but not that Corbyn is a racist, in fact just the opposite. Is it the anti-Semite thing? I found those allegations odd, given his views on LGBT, diversity, race in general, etc. Why would he just have a downer on Jews.

He’s done some daft things, attending IRA funerals etc, but who hasn’t. I went to Old Trafford once, my Dad nearly killed me...

The repeated attendance at events, the historical support for fringe causes, it all points to bigotry. I can understand why this isn’t obvious to some, but being Glaswegian and living in a religious melting point, the lean to far left is so blind to its support of “worthwhile” causes that it doesn’t look at whether that bandwagon is worth supporting. I don’t necessarily think Corbyn sees himself as a bigot but he is, I’m afraid. It’s not an anti Semitic thing, although that is a part of his nonsense, it’s a generalist thing.

No chance of a second referendum , the people voted it's a democracy end of. Can you imagine the shite if there was? It's a mockery.... You can't just keep voting until the right outcome is achieved.

Can you tell Wee Nicola that please? Ironically, I’d like another Brexit Referedum and no other Scottish IndyRef, making me some kind of mega hypocrite!!

That’s another huge issue, I was reading about the legalities of the Act of Union, Scotland can’t leave the Union, as it’s an Act it can only be repealed, another clusterfook in the making, not thought through properly.

Apparently it took 61 years for Ireland to unpick themselves legally from the Acts of Union 1801.

Just not honour the referendum, it’s non binding, someone will have to take ***** for it, or just take us into and EFTA model, means we’re out of the EU, referendum vote ticked, but EFTA is much the same.......

One thing is for sure, leaving is a fate worse than a fate worse than death. Doesn’t bear thinking about...

Hot off the press, the Government found in contempt of parliament, the first time in history.

Rip it up and start again....

If the EU thinks it was a good deal, it most certainly wasn’t for us. If there’s a no deal, best go for a hard Brexit and play the cards we are dealt. By making it so hard to leave and giving the remainers all the tools they need (revoking Article 50 and a 2nd referendum to name 2) they are starting to illustrate their desperation to make us stay. This is because when we do leave and sort out the fallout, the EU will eventually implode and the great European project will be over and a lot of privileged politicians will be out on their ears. Bolloxcs to the lot of them.

Not a good thing for Europe is it and this is at the crux of the deal we got...protect your own which ironically is what we should be doing.

A ‘hard Brexit’ would go some way towards that ideal although it would be rough on everybody. Our government should have this as plan A and push it, that way Europe might sit down and start to negotiate a realistic departure deal, not one that f*cks us for their gain.

As for comments about politicians lying re Brexit, politicians lie all the ******* time so that’s hardly a reason for a re-vote.......Jesus they’re lying about the legal implications now to cover up how bad the deal is.

Exactly, politicians of any colour lie at every election, how many have delivered all of their election promises come wining the election?

My son just summed it up ‘Women don’t know anything about politics...’

Or the value of a good forward defensive stroke....
