Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons. |

Definitely bedtime now ! Goodnight one and all and sleep tight ! Edited by Willo (07 Sep 2019 12.21am) Parliament haven't "seized control" of anything! They have asserted their control, which the government was attempting to hijack. Of course they haven't proposed an alternative plan. They are not in power so not responsible for devising detailed exit plans. They scrutinise and approve the plans of who-ever is in government and responsible. There are several possible "plans" that Parliament might now accept. The first is to stop the headlong rush to an unstructured exit and give time to pause, reflect and decide. There may well now be a majority to accept the "May" plan, or a further referendum with a binary choice of a "no deal" exit or to remain. More likely is to hold a GE and ask a new Parliament to choose an executive to find a solution. We can agree though that the British electorate need better. They don't need a posturing, blustering buffoon pretending he will be able to drive through a successful deal when it's plainly obvious to everyone that he cannot.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

That is the much repeated argument made by Johnson and his supporters. It is though complete bs. To be credible he would have to have presented some kind of viable alternative that whilst unpopular with the EU negotiators might stand a chance of being forced through at the last moment. Johnson's position is akin to playing bluff when everyone can see your cards. Of course everyone is fed up with the mess but that doesn't mean that we just give up and accept a rubbish outcome just because it's easy. We fight. To overturn the referendum result is presumably what you mean

Exactly what are these "viable alternatives"? Which, let me remind you, need to be approved by Parliament after due scrutiny, and not just kept in a mythical box marked "BS excuses for the gullible". As Willo stated no alternatives would be approved by Labour/SNP/LibDims as they are quite obviously playing political games Give it a rest

Plenty of that spread across 90% of the electorate TBF Typical attitude of remainers towards leavers. All leavers are thick and stupid but all remainers seem to be the brightest sparks in the box. Total b****cks

The government are trying to carry out the promise made to leave the EU. The deal should be left to those who are negotiating it because Remainers in Parliament are clearly determined to scupper any deal or lack of one that materialises.

Funny how opposition MPs on Daily Politics were "cock-a-hoop" about seizing control of Parliament (there words not mine) but obviously Wisbeach knows better than them
