Sorry S, but I work in the game and will have to disagree with you here.

 

Travis Perkins are notorious for ridiculously high prices and are nowhere as near as competitive as similar groups such as SIG.

 

Normal tradesmen don’t go anywhere near Perkins....I’d rather shop at Dorothy Perkins.

They can blame who and what they like....the real truth is their sky high prices.

They are shit.

 

just like the French and MSM are trying to blame fuel prices etc for the riots over there..l..what a load of old cobblers......speak to the folk on the streets there and get their opinion.

100%. Should be called Turpin Perkins.

Bullshit Corbyn was never going to do the debate. Why, because he’s a leaver and any debate would highlight that and that would go down like a lead ballon with the Labour Party.

As I’ve said before why the fuck should he?

May shat out of one before the GE. 

He’s got nowt to gain from doing one now. He can just sit back and watch the Tories implode.

I think he has. As has been pointed out previously, a huge chunk of the labour vote, also voted to leave.

He might need to build a number of bridges within to avoid a drop in their vote.

Maybe a debate would give him the opportunity.

That said, the "momentum" behind his party is largely at odds with those out voting folk.

Frankly, both major parties are screwing themselves over. 

 

As an aside, the word is that Grieves' amendment, is likely to boost May's chances of getting the deal through; as more ardent brexiteers see their chances of a harder leave diminish, so forcing them to commit to a lesser deal.

Whether that comes to fruition, we'll have to see.

What is the point in a TV debate?

generally the purpose is to sway viewers and voters in to making a decision on something. 

Unless another referendum is on the cards, we are leaving and there’s fuck all the public can do as to how. 

You can watch the pair of pricks argue in the commons all day on parliament TV if you wish.

I don't disagree- people and MPs have pretty much made their mind up.

It may be an opportunity though for them to explain how they would do things going forward, which is what I was alluding to above. That may be useful for the next election.

I’m all ears please feel free to educate me about my Brexit, Scottish independence tangle. And I’ll also listen carefully to what you have to say about my misunderstanding of parliamentary democracy. 

I think three of us did yesterday. 

Do keep up Mounts, I know its difficult with everyone running rings around you.

Wow - so the full legal advice is absolutely damning. And May has mislead the country on this. From the legal advice:

Despite statements that it is not intended to be permanent…in international law the protocol would endure indefinitely until a superseding agreement took its place.....does not provide a mechanism that is likely to enable the UK lawfully to exit the UK wide customs Union without a subsequent agreement. This remains the case even if parties are still negotiating many years later

Also says the backstop is a "political decision". 

None of this was made clear at all. In fact the fact that international law would mean we would be stuck in there indefinitely was deliberately obfuscated.

Lets bring whoever that is in to sort out Brexit. I'm sure she'd have a calming effect and be far better than Corbyn and May. At least PMQ's would instantly find 100 times more viewers!

So again this is over the issue with Ireland , which nobody seems to have an answer for

I think he should be careful what he wishes for. He may get one soon but will not win. Even if he did then the ticking time bomb parcel is passed to him - good luck with that. 

 

He hasn’t quite thought it through

Nonsense. There's nothing in the legal advice that wasn't already revealed in the Withdrawal Agreement. The oddest thing about all this is why the Government were so willing to act in contempt of Parliament to keep it hidden. Bizarre.

I’m presuming the Norway model has socialist foundations?

No. Its simply membership of the EEA (and in some form the CU). 

That is what Corbyn proposes (on a Tuesday at least). Its essentially the only deal that could come close to meeting Labour's 6 tests.

Just for clarity what actually is Jez Corbyns alternative to the deal?

Have your cake and eat it basically, it doesn’t take into account the red lines laid out by the EU 

It’s as far fetched as anything Boris has come up with 

But again, it’s easy offering a position when you don’t have to go and deliver it
