Shocked,
I think you went a little off topic. However, if you think the EU will deal with the large global companies you are deluded. The big companies love the EU. The EU puts up huge regulatory barriers to entry for the smaller companies. The big companies spend millions every year lobbying the EU to protect their interests. Why do you think the vast majority of big corporation supported Remain - they are bed fellows of the political elite.

You simply prove my point. You obviously know best for those poor simple Northern folk, bless them. Also, if you don't like what happens you can move elsewhere the vast majority cannot. I don't hate priviledged Londoners, I probably am one. I am just embarrassed at how selfish and arrogant they are. The North voted Leave for a number of reasons not because of a so called lie on the side of a bus.
What has Amazon got to do with the argument? Or are you seeking to claim the moral highground as you boycot the Amazon website?

CommonGuy,

One thing I have learnt in life is that most of us, Northern folk or not are pretty selfish and arrogant. You think the Northern folk who hates the 'cheap eastern european workers' (your words not mine) is not selfish and arrogant? What if you tell them their taxes and NI contributions pay for many of the services they get? 

The point about Amazon, is that is not only the cheap Eastern European labour that pushes down wages. So does Amazon and call centres in India. People want to blame someone for the global economy. Good luck with that. 

FYI, the only way to improve the lives of the less privileged is a proper attack on global companies that do accounting engineering and to make sure they pay for the profits they make in each of the countries they sell their products in (which the EU is trying to do), put serious sanctions on tax havens, increase the minimum wage and increase taxes here in the UK. I dont mind paying more taxes. What about you?

The People's Vote is a London based elitist project and will fail as there is not enough support in Parliament. The incessant demands by the Remaniacs in Parliament to take No Deal off the table are simply going to result in leaving on a bad deal. Good work folks and get ready for political chaos.

CommonGuy,

The people in the North and the country as a whole are the ones that are going to suffer the consequences of hard Brexit the most. I understand you hate privileged Londoners, but these Londoners are very mobile. If things get bad they will move to Paris, or Frankfurt or New York.  

Do you use Amazon? Because it kills a lot of jobs and shops every year and it pays their workers ****...

Ratski, 

“Nothing that was said during the referendum had any impact on my decision. I knew which way I was going to vote when I was 16 studying alevel politics and in the twenty odd years since this position has only been hardened. “ 

No ****! 

“Since the vote we have seen plans for an EU army come in to full force (another Clegg lie)” LIE ALERT. 

“ and the only reason Turkey’s EU membership plans have been put on hold is because Erdogan’s mask has fallen and we all see him as the Islamic version of Hitler that he is.” ANOTHER LIE ALERT. Countries can apply all they like but Turkey membership was always a long way away. 

The problem here is lies and lack of responsibility and Daily Mail style of blaming someone for what happens to me. Surely, it must be someone else’s fault. 

Your solution: 

“Anyhow on to the deal that I want. It would be a simple free trade agreement with no ties or fee movement of people and an agreement with Ireland on the border issue with a similar electronic border system to that in place between Switzerland and its surrounding EU states.” TRUTH ALERT: THERE IS NOT ‘SIMPLE FREE TRADE AGREEMENT’ WITH THE EU JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE BRITISH. 

There is not even Norway +. It was never on the cards. The UK made it up. There is no Canada ++++. You think Norway and Canada will allow it? You STILL really think other countries will bow to the UK? Honestly? There is EU OR non EU with WTO tariffs which will eventually become Canada = 

You do not talk about economic cost of the Canada= agreement. The impact of tariffs, the impact of companies leaving the UK in a (surprise surprise!) global economy. Have you heard about Brexiteer Dyson moving to Singapore? 

Much of the City of London that so much money provides in tax collection will also move. You think Europe is going to let us manage their money when you leave the EU and become a ‘tax haven”? 

Re the PM, again, do your research properly. Theresa May is a europhile in her freaking dreams. Maybe for the economic advantage she may get but she is a proper xenophobic ultra-nationalist. Just read about Windrush (lovely Theresa’s doing), Europeans jumping the queue (of course the British should be allowed to be expats because the world needs us but who needs European’s expats, right? We will manage their money, they just need to keep quiet…)

 https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/201 ... rorism-law 

So is Corbyn if you ask me…but maybe not at this level...

I am all for understanding human nature and I suspect Ratski, there is something more in your xenophobia. Did the handsome Dutch (male or female, who knows, and obviously tall, not that I like them tall personally) never call back? 

What I hate the most about the world these days is people’s lack of responsibility. If I was in Government I would ask all those Leavers MPs and the press spreading lies to sign a piece of paper taking responsibility (including economic responsibility) for what they promise. The same with global warming in general. Those who deny it should take responsibility if their irresponsible behaviour ends up causing us human and financial loss. 

I personally think we need to crash out of the EU and pay the consequences. It is the only way this very boring debate may possibly end. But let me guess Ratski, when that happens you will blame the EU? As you blame the EU for the UK’s state of democracy: 

“It was never going to be easy extracting ourselves from such an organisation that over years has sucked the life out of our democracy and left us with the current crop of wets occupying Parliament.”

MP Marsha de Cordova performance hasn't been poor. She's doing a great job as our local mp.
I am particularly proud of the fact that she has shown courage and leadership by endorsing the second referendum.

Well done Marsha! Please keep up the good work!

You should have listended more to hug a hoodie Dave before the election. “Bigger the majority the softer the Brexit”

Instead you got rid of Jane Ellison who spent every weekend campaigning for Remain down on Northcote road and replaced her with a Marxist Corbyn acolyte shoehorned in from some Charity in Bristol. Corbyn’s manifesto was clear to respect the decision in the referendum, he had also spent his entire political career voting and speaking out against the EU and the rest of his manifesto was implementing policies that simply wouldn’t be possible inside the EU.

Don’t underestimate Treason May this is the woman who spearheaded gay marriage through EU legislation, not that I have a problem with it, but it was her who managed to negotiate this throughout Europe in strict catholic countries like Italy, Ireland and Eastern Europe. She is a liberal progressive Europhile to the core.

She is now carefully trying to negotiate a deal that makes it appear that we have left the EU but actually ties us in with less freedoms than we had before.

If it wasn’t for Corbyn and his promises of free things for everyone which so many gullible people bought in to this treacherous deal would have sailed through by now. So many thanks democracy survives another day.

NVhusband, I could not agree more with much of your post. It strikes me you may have missed the part in the post where I said…. there are many people who aren’t Corbyn fans in the slightest, perhaps wouldn’t normally even vote Labour, but did so tactically in 2017, to achieve precisely the sort of Parliamentary impasse that might lead to a second vote  so yes, and this is a point I’ve been trying to make over and over again. The mendacious lie that 80%+ people voted for a party that respects the referendum result is among the most pernicious of the plethora of lies told during the campaign and since. Millions voted tactically to increase the chances of remaining, and those of us that did, have succeeded in that aim – witness current Parliamentary arithmetic.  I share your view and the idea of Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott fills me with dread but it is a lesser evil than Brexit.  I’ve also been repeatedly pointing out to many who don’t appear to know how first past the post works, that voting Labour in 2017 offered a chance to change the course of Brexit without putting Corbyn in no.10 with a majority. Corbyn at the helm but reliant on a coalition agreement with other parties would not have the majority to get any of his socialist ideas through Parliament.    I hope you'll keep advocating for remain, the ERG mob are terrified now that their criminally procured vote is slipping through their fingers and a further vote looks more likely with each day that passes

Is your post about Brexit or Marsha de Cordova?

Many Conservative members are against Brexit (Justine Greening- next door MP) and in favour of a second referendum (led by Dominic Grieve). So being Labour or Conservative is a mute point as you have Remainer and Brexiteers in both parties.

However, if you are pro Marsha; may I ask if she has the support of Momentum and Progress? Her views on anti- semitism in the Labour Party and if Jeremy (lack of) actions were appropriate?
Does Marsha think Jeremy Corbyn should be Prime Minister?

I think most voters in Battersea voted against Tories due to Brexit and not for Labour. There is a difference.

JC as Prime Minister, John MacDonnel as Chancellor and Diane Abbott as Home Secretary fills me with dread.

I have absolute zero confidence in the Electoral Commission after the events in Tower Hamlets and Lutfur Rahman a number of years ago. They refused to take action against the corrupt Mayor and in the end local residents had to take out a private prosecution to get him removed. Another of our public bodies infested with the political correctness cancer. It doesn’t surprise me they are against Brexit.

Anyhow on to the deal that I want. It would be a simple free trade agreement with no ties or fee movement of people and an agreement with Ireland on the border issue with a similar electronic border system to that in place between Switzerland and its surrounding EU states.

It would have been negotiated completely differently to the current crop of quislings in the civil service. I would have walked away 2 years ago as soon as they announced the divorce bill and planned full steam ahead for a no deal. They would have come crawling back with their begging bowl and we would have a free trade agreement by now.

Look at the current state of Europe it’s in terminal decline both economically and socially. Politics sliding towards the extremities, record numbers of unemployed youth in the southern states, banking crisis in Italy, Gilet Jaunes in France & Benolux, Germany sliding in to recession. With a total pisshead at the helm they are in no position to play hard ball with one of their largest export markets.

Yet all we here from Brussels is more and more ever closer union but the majority want the opposite. The upcoming EU Parliamentary elections should see some interesting results for the ‘populist’ parties. So those calling for a second referendum shouldn’t count their chickens just yet a lot can happen in the Eurozone in the 12 months it takes to call a new referendum 😎

I think it’s important to address LizzyPots point, and given it was offered in a somewhat sneery tone, I’ll respond in kind. If you understood a little better how Parliamentary democracy works, you might realise that changing the parliamentary arithmetic in favour of Remain isn’t the same as giving Corbyn the ability to enact his more wayward socialist fantasies. Many former tory voters like me who are really NOT Corbyn fans, voted tactically, safe in this knowledge. While Corbyn in number 10 is far from ideal, it is less of danger to the country than Brexit (as well as changeable every 5 years) and the massive likelihood is that he would never get a majority so would be reliant on a coalition or confidence and supply arrangement to form a government. Your rather simplistic view of this dynamic ignores the fact that in the cauldron of Brexit, vast numbers of people are abandoning any party loyalty they may once have had, to vote in their particular constituency for whichever candidate best represents them in the remain/leave debate. Anyone following developments will know there are MPS defying their parties’ whips on both sides. For instance in the last week I have written to Tory MPs like Sarah Wollaston and Dominic Grieve to thank them for their stanceMy Labour MP Marsha to thank her and encourage her to keep pressure on Corbyn to follow suit in backing a Peoples VoteThe speaker, for being a total legend and defending the sovereignty of the House of CommonsAnd when there’s another GE, I’ll probably offer to support the Lib Dem Sarah Olney in Richmond Park to make sure there’s another remain voice in Parliament.Wannabemaryberry thanks very much for your excellent comments, I wholeheartedly concur. Everyone reading this, please get involved, there is all to play for now. We need to support the sensible ones among our Parliamentarians and, in the event of a final say, fight hard to counter the lies and disinformation that will inevitably form part of a second leave campaign. At least this time, we’re alert to the threat of dark money and foreign influence, so it should at least be a level playing field.

daddydaycarerocks:  Well of course Chelsea, if the draw worked out that way, would get another go the next season.  If (and I accept it's an if) opinion has changed and there is now a majority for Remain, then how could leaving be described as democratic or the will of the people?  And anyway why not find out by holding another referendum?  Surely you don't think allowing people to vote is somehow antidemocratic?

Just because you don’t agree with the way a result went , doesn’t mean those 17million (yes, 17million) people were wrong.

Getting bored of the same names accross the local social media not moving on to what the majority of the uk population voted for.

An example, Chelsea are beaten by a 3rd division side in a cup final, should Chelsea demand the right to play again as they thought there were so much better ? Of course not.

Well Ratski, you appear to be in the minority according to the polls and I assume you believe in democracy? 

What type of Brexit do you want

No Deal WTO Brexit?
May's Deal
Version of May's deal
Norway
Norway +
Norway-
Canada ++++

See it is not clear what Brexit was or is. Polls show that people are also conflicted just as Parliament is.

The referendum was a thin margin with massive criminal cheating by both Vote Leave and Leave.EU to the extent there are 11 criminal investigations into them. The Electoral Commission levied it largest ever fine. It may have not swung your vote but the lies and untruths were believed by many. 

It is totally wrong to drag the UK out of the EU, cause the economic damage and job loses that will involve against the will of the majority of the UK.
