Announced on the news that boris johnson may suspend parliament to reduce the chance of mps being able to block a no deal brexit allowing him to democratically force the uk to leave the EU.

Am i wrong in thinking if this goes ahead there may be serious protests and maybe even riots in london and all across the country to force the governments hand?

Im not convinced the dog was abandoned at all

Boris lies about pork pies and bananas ...he would certainly lie about a dog

Boris is playing the 'aren't I lovely? I take in abused animals, so vote for BoZo in the inevitable General Election

I thought it was fairly well known that BoJos gf is an animal welfare campaigner?

Those PR gurus must think we were born yesterday, they're insulting the intelligence of the electorate

The leave voters I have met voted for a number of reasons. Some military people voted leave due to future military fears and sovereignty, I my area (think birds of a feather type place) voted for a variety of reasons but coming from a place of wealth, little education and a fear of ‘other’ - one (according to a friend) ‘fancied a change’.🙄🙄🙄.

Neither do I get this I ‘heart’ Europe.

But we’re at this point now.

My local mp was bigging up Brexit and hoping to have a big party.

I do hope that Brexiters aren’t treated to big vulgar ‘independence day’ parties on tax payers money.

I think there could be rioting.

My remainer viewpoint has hardened massively in the last three years hearing the views of some leavers and the complete lack of understanding from plenty of quarters of what this means for many EU nationals and their families (often Brits), British kids who will grow up with even fewer opportunities, businesses etc.

Carol McGiffin has a column in Best magazine (ive read it at the hairdressers) where she has been really nasty to Remainers and constantly uses terms like snowflakes and Project Fear.

I did allow myself a little smug smile though when i went on the Press Gazette website and checked out the ABC circulation/sales.

Their circulation/sale has plummeted by 10%

It'll be yet another election, yet another tory/Brexit government and yet more shit for all of us.

PortiaCastis · 02/09/2019 18:43
