Pull up a chair and relax.....

*Looking like it's going to be a teeny weeny country left for president Banks and prime minister Nuttells.

I wonder if he gets to do the executions himself?
Maybe electric chair exports will be the mainstay of the post Brexit economy.*

If this is an example of entirely rational, non hysterical hyperbole then my grasp of the English language is not what I though it was.

General Strike announced.

February 17th

Woman, are you aware of how our govt works?

You do realise that one MP cannot bring in a referendum, don't you?

For a ref to happen at all (as with Brexit) it needs to be voted through by a majority in parliament.

Wrong

Educate, agitate organise.

General Strike announced

Where? UK or USA?

Link?

we are all hysterical

Yes. Yes you are.

No you are

LIGHT-FUCKING-HEARTED

Goad, bully, disenfranchise

Thanks Elements

Educate, agitate organise

Discuss, listen, think

Rufus - I know you are, you said you are, so what am I...??!!

Woman, for you:

Gosh woman, you have gotten yourself in a twist haven't you. No main political party in the UK is going to suggest a referendum on the death penalty. No one is going to take any notice of a party with 1 or even 2 MPs.
Every referendum in the UK is 'advisory' but the HOC agreed to abide by the result end of.

Have you been taking something?

Go to 'www.writetothem.com
And write now to your MP.
Go to 'www.parliament.uk/get-involved/contact-your-mp/'
and phone them now.
They are getting worried.

Plus the majority are not in favour of the death penalty

Woman, where is the link re the general strike that has been called for 17th Feb - I've looked but can't seem to find anything about one.

Every referendum in the UK is 'advisory'

That's not correct - the 2011 referendum on changing to the AV system was not advisory.

Go to 'www.writetothem.com
And write now to your MP

Thanks for the reminder, my MP will be voting for A50, and I will be writing to give him my support.

Oh wait a minute....

I am very worried about what Trump is up to but I would feel a bit more convinced about the motivations of some of the anti-Trumpers if they could manage to make their points without reference to Brexit.

Of course some anti-Trumpets will make references to Brexit. They are inextricably linked.

How, on one hand, can you say you're very worried about what a Trump is up to, yet on the other hand be supporting a process (Brexit) which means we need to strengthen our ties with him?

Referenda's constitutional import is written into the terms of each individual one.

AV one was framed in specific terms, Brexit one wasn't.

^Support for the death penalty in Britain has dropped below 50% for the first time on record, an annual opinion survey says.
The NatCen British Social Attitudes Report found 48% of the 2,878 people it surveyed were in favour of capital punishment^.

Similar pre poll figures to Brexit stats.

Trumpers not trumpets
