Exactly why Boris is taking the course of action he is, Tories will win the next GE possibly with a working Majority that might finally get Brexit done, yet some folk on here think BJ is going down like a lead balloon and destroying the Tory party. 😂🤣😂

It's sad, doing a lot of harm to ourselves and becoming a more divided society, whilst they argue amongst themselves. 

If remainers accepted the result and allowed the government to get on to negotiate the deal then we’d of left, moved on and there would no longer be a divide, that they won’t means folk who voted leave have had to continue to argue to make sure that we leave, it’s important that we do and that democracy finally wins.

Some people think both are true.

I think authorities  aren't arsed as much when the media/adds are used to try and persuade you to buy a certain brand of trainers, a book, holiday destination, because deep down they're just after your cash.

With the CA/Facebook thing, they were trying to push a political agenda by distorting the bias in favour of one party/ideal (because of the motivations of the founder of CA).

An analogy would be BBC1 allowing a Tory political broadcast to be an hour long, but Labour ones only 5 mins, Ofcom regulation wouldn't allow it.  Also the method they used to extract the data is illegal, breaking data protection laws in UK and US.

I can understand all that, agree to an extent.

However when you have a government machine coming out with hugely outlandish statements, is that not similar behaviour?

Who is looking at that and saying stop abusing your privilege of position? 

Were folk frightened by it and convinced voting out would lead to catastrophic economic developments?

It became a dirty fight no doubt, not sure about the impact on either side; would imagine most had already decided.

For those left, perhaps the dark side, led by Lord Analytica was more attractive. :)

If mogg and his twats had voted for Mays deal, we would be out

That's where you need to direct your ire

She shouldve kicked them out of the party, that seems to be the way of things

A few public school boys Fcuking our country over

Who wouldve ever thought

 

 

Btw, I've never voted anything other than Tory

I won't be voting for what bozo is creating

I read this earlier. Seems to sum it up quite nicely. 

In 2016, the British people were asked what they thought of the idea of skydiving. In a referendum, they narrowly answered that, in theory, they’d be willing to give it a try.

For three years, the British government has claimed that it is close to reaching a deal with the EU and acquiring the wherewithal for making a safe-ish jump possible.

But the position of Mr. Johnson’s new government is that since Britain voted for the idea of skydiving, then skydiving there must be. On Oct. 31, Britain has no option but to jump out of a plane, parachute or no parachute.

But the position of The Eu is that they do not want the British to parachute without other members of the Eu being allowed to parachute alongside, at the expense of the British, so they will not allow any British planes to fly over landmasses where there is a European country.

Some of the British Parliament therefore say that no Briton should parachute, ever, and that all there is to it.

Leavers day that if you look at the referendum forms there was no mention of Deal/No deal

and on that basis no deal is ok. 

But on the same logic people saying we should do a deal must be ok as we never defined what Leave meant.

The government didn’t come out with any outlandish statements. You’ve been so well brainwashed that you believe that guff.
