The Brexit Thread

[Satchmo Distel]

"Wouldn't fight to save 6 million Jews" - as if that's why the UK went to war, rather than to save its imperial possessions.

No surprise that Kelvin Mackenzie is ignorant. 70,000 Irish citizens fought in the British Army in World War II. What a dip.

The US, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand armies weren’t exactly short of first and second generation Irish either.

I was told this morning by a 27 year old that Helsinki is in Russia.

I think the more relevant bit is that he thinks Ireland is between England and Germany, and not on the other side. If luftwaffe bombers found themselves over the republic, they wouldn't have enough fuel to get back to england, never mind germany

We’ve been inviting him to Liverpool for 30 odd years and he still hasn’t shown face.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Is yer man a famous cunt or just a no-mark gammon?

Second one.

EDIT: Twitter account locked. Can't imagine why that would be, the ignorant wank.

Imagine being able to out-cunt Kelvin Mackenzie. Imagine that.

[Lang Spoon]

Germany will invade or something without the Plucky Brits there to protect us. I hope we get a decent U-Bahn out of it so.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

He should come here and say that.

On the topic of less informed english commentators venturing into Irish subjects, Youtube thinks I want to watch Owen Jones Lick Mary lou mcDonald's arse for 42 minutes in his latest podcast. Maybe youtube has overheard me saying "Owen Jones has the mind and judgement of a reasonably bright 13 year old" and drawn the wrong conclusions.

[elguapo4]

I fucked if I know why we should need sympathy from Kelvin and his buddy anyway.

[Antepli Ejderha]

Kelvin Mackenzie with some dog whistling, he and the responder should be prosecuted for this racist nonsense.

[sw2borshch]

I know there's a lot fewer of them in the Commons and suppose that's all that really counts rather than the men in grey suits of popular imagination.

[Gangster Octopus]

I don't know if I am being overly melodramatic, but you would have thought that some of the Tory grandees would also have considered that they may be actually be creating a potential Revolutionary Situation and they can be unpredictable.

Because they were disenfranchised before the last election. The old patrician Tories have either died out or have just gone back to the City to feather their own nests.

[Nefertiti2]

Laura Kuennsberg and Robert Peston would ensure it was spotless and there were great images of Johnson with rubber gloves

Andrew Marr here, interrupting Ed Miliband every time he takes a breath, and quite often when he doesn't

If Johnson was tasked with mopping the jizz out of a video booth in Amsterdam he'd still have been promoted above his competency level.

Thanks but no thanks; we don't want him. He'll remain Britain's problem for the time being.

[Third rate Leszno]

But then I heard Johnson talking about the negotiations and it's clear he has been promoted above his competency level.

The BBC pretends that "balance" means you can't call a lie a lie. The inevitable outcome of this is that lying becomes the only mode of government. It's like the broadcaster is in permanent Falklands-era propaganda mode.

[Kowalski]

I may have refused to watch televised news for 18 months but thanks to twitter I'm still losing my will to understand this process.

I know I shouldn't expect much from our present "government", especially after the last nine months, but as Imp has said here or elsewhere I still expected them to muster up some of that "Great Britsih Common Sense" they claim OUR SAINTED NATION possesses

I might not be losing the will to understand if I could see a hint of contrition or humility but minister after minister cannot help but imply that nothing is their party's fault. They may have called referendum that produced an inconclusive result and manipulated the aftermath but this situation is not of their making oh no.

Today Raab felt able to brush aside the Tory quotes mentioned by Marr (quotes that directly contradict their present position) to blame the EU for "moving the goalposts". It's refreshing to know that in spite of OUR SAINTED NATION spending 50 years as the member of an organisation our present "government" still isn't sure of the organisation's position or its approach to negotiations.

If they were up for the challenge OUR SAINTED NATION's negotiating team could have scoured twitter for free advice about the negotiating process, For example I saw a clip of a Spanish politician speaking on Sky News earlier today. Apparently a trade deal is more about managing interdependence than asserting independence, apparently people will be able to work out that you're acting as A SAINTED INDEPENDENT NATION when they see you trying to negotiate a trade deal with an organisation that you'd left in a high profile manner 11 months earlier.

[Toby Gymshorts]

That's because it is desperate. He has to keep leave voters onside for the final push for no deal, otherwise he can't deliver a tanked economy for the disaster capitalists who have a vested interest in it.

[Patrick Thistle]

Looking at the papers today you'd think it was all the meaniepie Europeans fault. But then I heard Johnson talking about the negotiations and it's clear he has been promoted above his competency level. He insisted at the end that everything would be really really great for the UK but it sounded desperate.

[Sporting]

I still don't understand why the Tories are ignoring the wishes of many business leaders, many of whom are presumably as right wing as they are, from actively seeking some sort of deal, however flawed.

[Toby Gymshorts]

A complicit media has been central to the goal of no deal.
