    If you say so, but its not is it. If you voted Tory it makes you a Tory, and by voting Tory, it makes you partly responsible for the mess this country is in, as it does every other person who voted for them.

    Not worth it. Greenie will start claiming you literally advocated genocide or something else crazy, then when proved wrong he’ll huff and go “we both know what you meant mate”.

    Tl;dr don’t feed the trolls.

    Wanker alert!

    You really cant leave it can you, despite numerous requests to stop following me around on here.
    Actually, you've done quite well really, for a couple of weeks at least, I guess your medication as run out.
    Look I can send you a photo of me if you want, and you can sit at home, look at it and pull yourself of if it helps you get through the day without typing your boring snipes at me.

    I voted Labour at the last election. So am I Labour or Tory? Maybe I'm just a voter. Because unless you're a paid up member of a political party you're not actually a Tory, or Lib Dem, or Labour etc.

    May is under relentless pressure in Parliament over the backstop arrangement in her latest document.
    The Irish issue remains central to this whole brexit thing.

    The Irish issue remains central to this whole brexit thing.

    From the above framework:


    139. Both Parties affirm that the achievements, benefits and commitments of the peace process in Northern Ireland will remain of paramount importance to peace, stability and reconciliation. They agree that the Good Friday or Belfast Agreement reached on 10 April 1998 by the United Kingdom Government, the Irish Government and the other participants in the multi-party negotiations (the “1998 Agreement”) must be protected in all its parts, and that this extends to the practical application of the 1998 Agreement on the island of Ireland and to the totality of the relationships set out in the 1998 Agreement.

    That's odd, you've chosen the same username as a chap who liked Labour back then

    That was before they elected an anti-Semite and friend of terrorists as leader.

    And while I've voted labour in the past I've never been a big fan.

    But I've never lived "near" a council estate either or faced the ultimate hardship of being a lefty at one of the country's top public schools so I'll never really understand the workers struggle.

    I voted Brexit, but I'm a Remainer.

    I thought love was only true in fairy tales but now I'm a believer

    Well quite.
    The 1998 agreement is at odds with the existence of a border, which is what brexit demands.
    The backstop dance, and indeed the maxfax aspiration are details that cloud the fundamental reality.
    The Belfast Agreement goes, or Brexit goes. The two can't coexist. To suggest they can is to promise that cats and dogs can mate and produce offspring.

    I wouldn’t worry ,, Brexit won’t happen anyway so it’s a moot point.

    “The challenge of satisfying the needs of 27 sovereign nations, each with their own agenda, is an extremely simple one if only we take an aggressive stance.”

    Dear oh dear ... what is this oaf doing in Parliament ... he doesnt have a clue what ‘negotiation’ is all about .. not that May is any better.

    It’s full of good aspirations on both sides ... but it’s a vision not a fact.

    In May's speech today she made a thing about looking towards a technological solution on the land border in Ireland eventually. She praised Ian Duncan Smith and another MP for their work and suggestions on this matter.
    What I take from that is at some recent point she must've said to critics 'well what would you do then? Where are your blimmin' suggestions?'
    She was referencing their half baked ideas in order to appease and soften and try to get some arch brexiters on board. Trying to please as many as she can as she calculates the numbers.
    In the questions that followed her statement, both Duncan Smith and his fellow maxfax championing MP gave Theresa May a broadside.
    So she tried to throw them a bone of recognition but it didn't really work.
    Over the last couple of weeks May has put in a monumental shift trying to resolve all this nightmare, but it looks like coming to nothing. May can probably say she tried the best she could, and it is probably true that no bugger could do any better, but the best the UK can come up with is disliked by the UK as it were.
    No other person could probably do any better, but as said above, comparing May's deal to either no deal or remain it seems obvious that remain is the best option of the three.

    There was absolutely nothing stopping HMG drafting it's view of what the future relationship would look like in advance, except, at that stage, they still acted as if they believed that the EU27 would alter its founding principles to suit a non-member.

    To be honest though, I do wonder why it's taken so long to get to where we are now. Well, I would, if David Davis had not been in post...
