Let’s not forget. They did this because they had a remain majority parliament. So effectively they were steering the process towards a known outcome which suited there own aims at that time. This was nothing to do with democracy. Although I think your point is very valid. 
 

that all got ripped out when Boris won such a large majority. Why isn’t Miller lauding the new deal given it will be ratified by parliament as she wished? Do you think she will be applauding from the sidelines? Or mysteriously silent? 

No she celebrated winning the case to get the right process in place. The outcome might not be what she wanted but it makes the outcome stronger.

Farage knew the mood of the country , but was big enough to stand back and give Boris the large majority we needed to leave the club

 

Farage did whatever his financial backers told him to do.

Ok. Question. If parliament had been a massive leave majority. Would she have done it? Would she have gone to those lengths to “ensure due process”?

According to the BBC the EU has begun a co-ordinated vaccine rollout to fight covid-19 in what the blocs top official says is "a touching moment of unity" 

Some countries started administering the jabs on Saturday saying they weren't prepared to wait another day.

 

Yep perfect EU  unity! !

As you would mate I will say I can not know what she would have done. I could glibly say ‘yes’ but I just do not know.

The idea you should delay the launch of a vaccine so it looks unified sums up one of the things wrong with the EU.

Yes but what do you believe? 

I honestly have no idea. 
 

I worked for a while in Social Housing and was regularly amazed by how often Liberals would get hung up more about the principle than the outcome.

Fair enough. It is at the end of the just about opinion.  As you correctly stated none of us know in reality

it is funded through donations like all political parties or unions

some of it was my brass

my point was he stepped aside to give buffoon Boris his majority

Fair play to you. The speed of growth of UKIP was too fast to be funded by ‘normal’ donations such as yours. The likes of Aaron Banks stick upto £1m in the pot gives them a massive say.

Yourie lad you need to get onto any new breweries trying to grow next year

with your descriptions i can see you as editor for Booze Weekly

there must be a living out there with your stuff

can you get me a case of Colostomy bag at a decent price

😌

For you a crate of Keel's could be £378 (50% reduction).

I always fancied the post of Chief Editor of 'Shitfaced for a Tenner Weekly'...
