British Indy: What Happens Now?

Discussion in 'Wasteland' started by Loz, May 23, 2015.

?
  1. Full Brexit with "no EU deal" on the 29th March.

  2. Request Extension to article 50 to allow a general election and new negotiations.

  3. Request Extension to article 50 to allow cross party talks and a new deal to be put to EU.

  4. Request Extension to article 50 to allow a second referendum on 1. Remain in EU or 2. Full Brexit.

  5. Table a motion in parliament to Remain in EU WITHOUT a referendum.

  6. I don't know or I don't care anymore

Results are only viewable after voting.
  1. Big hands & an adams apple too... She's all yours to mount on the wall!
     
  2. I wasn't thinking of mounting her on the wall :thinkingface:
     
  3. OK mount her in the kitchen?
     
  4. Good point well made :):upyeah:
     
  5. Yep saw that yesterday. You will notice it says a British government insider and little more, could be anyone but more likely to be, a made up storey by a mischevious reporter orrr something that has happened from time to time, a rascal lower level remaining civil servant.

    Where project fear is no longer seen to be effect before the vote, the hard remainers, particularly in the higher ups are using an almost daily "it's going to go wrong" look for confirmed sources rather than mischief making

  7. Them crazy lords just love making them non biding token votes that are not binding. On the plus side though, it's probably the busiest the lords has ever been
     
  8. Its amazing how much Brexit has split Parties across the board and some will not cowtow to the Brexit hardliners nor their own Party leaders. Good for them.

    I still wouldn't be surprised to see May forced to resign and another Election happen before this is all complete one way or another.

  9. I'm not so sure, where Jeremy is Russia's "our man in London" the lords has become the eu's "Our people in London"

    They feel they can take the risk of killing democracy because as they were never voted in by the public, they can't be voted out by the public, just the same as the eu comissioners.

    The lords have nothing to lose or at least they think they don't, but genuinely they are walking a very dangerous tightrope and with a risk called the democratic vote. If they stifle, hinder or their ultimate goal of stopping brexit, then they would be seen to have turned their back on Britain, become the agents of the eu but more dangerous and like most extreme remainers, will continue the mantra of "you the public can't be trusted with democracy and we the better educated know best"

    That arrogance, should they continue with it, is likely to see for the first time in Parliaments history in modern times, could see a whole revision and questioning of whether we need a house of lords at all?

    Were I May around now, I would be looking to see about putting out a non binding nationwide vote to see if the public of the U.K. wish the house of lords to remain or be scrapped. The lords do not value democracy, they value 2 things, sticking it to the government of the day and their own self importance and a vote of reality to remind who the boss actually is, the public, might just be the push they need.

    It might make them realise their time is coming to an end due to their own refusal to abide by the public's democratic votes

  10. :D. British democracy.
    aye, i can just see you and the all the other pensioners and bed wetters taking to the streets, waving yer walking sticks and red,white and blue weeny pads at the police in an angry fashion. goat that would be funny.
    do it!.
     
  11. Blue pads or blue faces? Please clarify!
     
  12. the blue rinse's loz. the blue faces where featured in a Hollywood movie . about 20 years ago. the life your looking for went out of fashion some 40years ago.
    anyhoos, now yer chance to march on Westminster loz, there's an uprising coming, a revolution. if only you can remember what it was you where wanting control of. old age is a bitch init?, ah yes, British democracy, when it suits yer needs of course.
     
  13. 20 years ago? Seems like yesterday. 300 years ago seems like last week ... you have to let this shit go, finm, so you do.

    In any event, I'm not marching on Westminster, not until they move it out of the s-hole it's currently sited. Maybe they could move the seat of power to Embra, I gather there are some nice purpose-built buildings up there which are under-utilised or going to waste.

  14. i dont really think people dwell to much on what happened 311 years,22hrs and 15secs ago. :D.
    i think its more, whats going on today that's more of a concern. but, i seen the poll jv posted on another thread the other day, Corbyn and labour are going down in the polls, it seems there is a majority in the "UK" that approve of incompetence, xenophobia and corruption. i say the UK, but when its broken down its only a country within the UK that approves.
    while noob was as contradictory as ever in his latest rant i see the need for the HOL to go and replaced with something more appropriate, moving the UK Parliament north would be a v,good move also, might just save the union, too. and lets not forget, it is a union.a contract with signatories. this aint Spain, contracts can be rescinded.
    here, have a wee tick tock on yo ass.
     
  15. No contradiction at all fin and I thought you more than most would understand? Tepid governments encourage vagabonds, chancers, opportunists and verbal masturbator's. May's effective backroom staff style whilst on the front of house where she is poor, which we have discussed before, has allowed fragility within the U.K. government.

    The prime minister of the U.K. by appeasing all these special interest groups, is losing focus and allowing the tail to wag the dog which causes more friction and lack of cohesion. She needs to be replaced or remember what job she is supposed to be doing and get on with it.

    Why move the parliament north? just so your group of chancers can then say the tories in Manchester or the tories in Birmingham? I doubt very much if the snp government would move from Edinburgh to Govern hill if English voters said the snp in Edinburgh?

  16. Agreed, she is utterly woeful and has to go. She has no spine, fight or fortitude and it's just a matter of time before the trigger is pulled. :thinkingface: I don't see who's going to do it at the moment, but a spate of resignations from the cabinet and growing general discontent if she continues to cede on Brexit red lines will be the catalyst. The thing is, she wanted the job, she knew Brexit would dominate for the 1st few years of it, why is she so reluctant to do the job?

    I'm actually hoping Labour will find some evidence of wrongdoing from her in their investigation into the Windrush affair that will force her out. The sooner the better by whatever means.

  17. I really don't understand finm's thinking here. Why would any real government want to hide away up beyond the Arctic Circle?

    nutty finm nutty
     
  18. He's still looking for oil and those damn Norwegians
     
  19. What makes a handful of Tory MPs think they can make an ultimatum to the PM?

    They can certainly have a say but they are in no position to make an ultimatum. Democracy is about discussion and agreement not threats and throwing toys out of the pram.
