What point are you trying to make Mystery ?

It's all a bit incoherent..

Sure the EU can turn down an extension but why would they, when a GE is almost certain?

AuldAlliance · 04/10/2019 15:44

UK is a single member of EU. Hence it’s the overall result that is effective.

I wasn't asking about the referendum, but about how you can ascribe the result to national pride. You mean English pride, really, don't you?

What key resources do other members of UK have?
Is this a serious question?

If people on the island of Ireland can’t be neighbours and live with each other
Whose actions are behind this? There is huge responsibility to be assumed and dealt with here. That of a people historically incapable of "staying in its own country and not trying to control everyone else".

When a leader asks their troops to vote when there is a difference of opinion, they will follow the majority vote if they are a good leader. Bad leaders will ignore. Hence they cease to be leaders as nobody votes for them again.
@MysteryTripAgain I've just added to my stash of 'utter bollocks I have read on Brexit threads' with your comment above. Good leaders wouldn't need a vote and if they took one they would take the result into consideration, and then decide which way to go. They wouldn't blindly follow a majority - they would show leadership and explain their decision, regardless of which way a vote went.

GE is not certain. Regardless of what people think of Johnson, Conservative party are top of the polls (not that polls are always correct). Labour are all over the place with their half in and half out of EU policy trying to appeal to their split voters.

LibDems have no chance as Jo Swinson has said even if there was another vote to leave she would ignore.

AuldAlliance · 04/10/2019 15:55

Germany attempted world control twice. Second time around they sent 6 million to the gas chamber.

Ireland seems to think that’s okay?

Your grasp of the subtleties of history is a bit shaky.

Clearly, the Irish government does not condone the Holocaust. Suggesting otherwise is just offensive and proves nothing. (Well, nothing that you are trying to prove in that post, anyway. It says quite a lot about a great deal else.)

bellinisurge · 04/10/2019 15:56

I wonder what the faithful will do to the Tory vote when Johnson asks for an extension and doesn't resign. Split the Brexit vote which will mean Labour might beat him yet.
Until I learned that the DUP had a fringe meeting at the Tory Party conference, I agreed with the "but Corbyn sucks up to terrorism line". Turns out, the Tories do it too. Google UVF and DUP.

MysteryTripAgain · 04/10/2019 15:56

They wouldn't blindly follow a majority - they would show leadership and explain their decision, regardless of which way a vote went

So why have a vote at all if governments can say;

“That’s not the result we wanted to hear. Therefore in accordance with democracy we will ignore what voters have said”

bellinisurge · 04/10/2019 15:57

"Germany attempted world control twice. Second time around they sent 6 million to the gas chamber.

Ireland seems to think that’s okay?"

Fucking insulting shit which you should be ashamed of.

MysteryTripAgain · 04/10/2019 16:00

Split the Brexit vote which will mean Labour might beat him yet

Labour are third in polls.

60% of labour voters also voted leave

Recent labour policies about confiscation of people’s property will not go down well

AuldAlliance · 04/10/2019 16:01

bellini worded it better than I did.

bellinisurge · 04/10/2019 16:01

Maybe so. But being let down by Johnson . After he swore blind he'd do it.

MysteryTripAgain · 04/10/2019 16:03

Fucking insulting shit which you should be ashamed of

Ireland rattles on about what happened over a period of hundreds of years, but says nothing about;

Holocaust by Germany

US decision to drop Atomic bombs on Japan

Voila212 · 04/10/2019 16:04

Ah Mystery stop rambling, I forgot you know nothing about Ireland so let me give you a quick lesson. Britain invaded Ireland, hundreds of years of persecution followed, the Irish fought back in the war of independence, this led to 26 counties becoming independent but due to the demand of the unionist the UK kept the 6 counties hence NI. Then there was the Troubles which led to a war in NI, the GFA brought a peace. Can you now are the connection? Can you now are the irony that NI has become the biggest problem for the UK and the GFA. Maybe open a history book once in a while.

bellinisurge · 04/10/2019 16:06

What on earth are you dribbling on about now?

Jason118 · 04/10/2019 16:06

@MysteryTripAgain herefore in accordance with democracy we will ignore what voters have said

Illuminating example of someone who doesn't understand representative democracy. Or leadership, or very much else, it seems.

GoodJobSteve · 04/10/2019 16:08

Valiant effort MysteryTripAgain. Reminds me of one of my favourite xkcd cartoons.

Are =see
My point was to your comment that 'they should remain in their own countries and not try to control everyone else'....

bellinisurge · 04/10/2019 16:10

Not really doing your friends in the Brexit Arms any favours with that rubbish.

ContinuityError · 04/10/2019 16:18

The Benn Act does not change EU law.

Article 50 requires member states to leave in conformity with its own constitutional requirements. EU law had no direct effect in this case.

ContinuityError · 04/10/2019 16:29

60% of labour voters also voted leave

Not according to the Lord Ashcroft EU referendum poll - 63% of Labour voters voted Remain.

Parker231 · 04/10/2019 16:45

The good news for the day - the UK won’t be leaving the EU on 31 October!

Parker231 · 04/10/2019 17:06

Even after today’s court case Boris is still behaving like an idiot with Twitter statements - New deal or no deal - but no delay. #GetBrexitDone #LeaveOct31 🇬🇧

RuggerHug · 04/10/2019 17:16

Mystery spouts bollocks because even the UVF won't go to Australia, so she's safe. Doesn't need to understand anything about what happens in this part of the world. Just needs a hobby(or a library card).

BercowsFlyingFlamingo · 04/10/2019 17:24

Jeez this pub is like a bubbling vat of putrid bile.

Why are you all (bar the few sensible posters) so angry?

bellinisurge · 04/10/2019 17:34

I think Mystery stirring it with bollocks about Ireland supporting the Holocaust has pretty much pissed a lot of people off.
But even she has to clock off some time so she's gone off to brew more nonsense.
