It’s an interesting question but I suppose the problem with ideologues is they genuinely believe what they are doing is the right thing for the right reasons! So they can’t see themselves as treasonous, they see themselves as patriotic or somehow acting in the greater good for all!Quote:

Italy heading for an election which is likely to yield a government heavy to the right and extremely at odds with Brussels, likely to be right around the time of Brexit.
That’s ok, wait 6 months and they’ll have another one.[emoji3]Quote:

Boris was only interested in power and is incapable of understanding how anything works. He all mouth and no action. His promises of money for various things are utterly garbage and the only reasoning I can come up with is that he hopes to con the public then hope it all turns out ok by some miracle. Never have I had such utter disdain for this horrible Tory party. Much as I don't like the behaviour of MPs plotting to bring down Boris it's only they who can stop the catastrophic no deal brexit. Democracy is reduced to Ken Clarke bringing down s Tory govt. Never thought I'd see that in my lifetime.Quote:

His latest pish is that 'politicians are not allowed to decide which votes they respect'. It was an advisory referendum, you cretin, not an election.Quote:

I wonder if this will affect the timing of an election, another quarter of negative growth which is likely would see us in a recession..Quote:

Why stop at closing the banks? Shirley if the shops were closed as well, that would lessen the impact of there being no fresh food on shelves. I think Govey's on to something :agree: .Quote:

Some hope that remain are getting their act together.

I see England and Wales were running rehearsals for a no deal Brexit yesterday. Who switched the lights off.
Things seems to have gone quiet i.e. no deal looks a certainty. Bozo and his loonies are already setting the narrative that the EU won't negotiate. Of course he doesn't mention that negotiations took months and produced a 600 page withdrawal agreement, only for parliamaent to reject it three times. We had a bespoke withdrawal agreement in which we managed to get the best terms possible, hence there is nothing more than the EU can give, without breaking its own rules on the single market and customs union.
There just isn't time to open up this can of worms again before Halloween.
Imagine that had happened here? The Hibs.net unionists would have been all over it as clear proof that Scotland is incapable of managing its own affairs.Quote:

I hope the fishers get exactly what they're demanding. Perhaps then they'll feel that bullet in their foot.Quote:

I can only imagine the reaction if Boris Johnson suggested an all-male cabinet.
I thought Caroline Lucas was supposed to be above this sort of stunt.Quote:

And people and goods pass freely between all four countries. It’s no surprise that they all think we’re mad.
If you mean stopping Brexit, then that is part of her job.Quote:

It's ok; it's a different party in Scotland (presuming that's where you live).Quote:

Such a gloomster, James O'Brien, what with his logic and his rational thought processes.Quote:
