Brexit Arms: the discussion continues....

[XingMing]

I'm not promising to be the resident landlady, and I can't even hope to moderate the discussion or offer up great memes etc because I don't know how, but here's opening the next iteration....

First drink is on the house.

I'm not a natural Tory voter. But Lib Dems betrayed my trust with the coalition and Labour is steered my Momentum, who are just Militant reinvented. I could look past a feeble figurehead but I don't like the policies behind them.
The Tories have always been everyone for themselves, never hide it. They are in a position now where they have to maybe listen to their voters a bit more so that's what I'm focusing on.

Is that position due them only having a minority do you think ? Saucery

Morning everyone.

Agree it's pretty dismal. In 2016, I felt genuinely sorry for Americans for having to choose between Trump the Tolerant and Honest Hilary. Many of them had to hold their noses to vote. Now the same choice awaits us. Corbyn and Corbynism never. Swinson and her particular brand of unLiberal nonDemocratism never. Boris will have to do for now.

After that, I'm hoping for massive realignment and some grown-ups to choose from.

Definitely, frumptety!

The Prince Andrew scandal has actually overshadowed brexit.

People are talking about that more than anything else at the moment.
And the John Lewis Christmas advert.

It’s still a vote for Boris here.

The thing I'm hoping for is a hung parliament that would hopefully decapitate the extremists leadership of both main parties (clutching at straws).

Frumpety , it didn't sound condescending to me even out of context. I think that the majority of people don't care for Identity politics and the constant negativity about the UK. Boris at least appears to love the UK and want to improve things. Identity politics has made patriotism a dirty word akin to being right wing. The momentumish re-education for wrong think just doesn't resonate with the "man on the Clapham omnibus". 😊

Ooh yeah #Pizzaexpresswoking Prince Andrew 🤔off topic , just watching Good Morning Britain and lady Colin Campbell tried to argue that Epstein was convicted for soliciting a prostitute. The fact that the said prostitute was 14 doesn't make him a paedophile 😡

Some of the comments on here bigging Boris Johnson up don't ring true tbh. I honestly think some posters are trying to convince themselves that he has their best interests at heart, but don't really believe it. Apologies if I'm wrong.

Well we will have to agree to disagree on that BelleHathor

Morning all, the locum innkeeper has been housekeeping for a few hours, and now popping out to the licensed victuallers to pay the brewery.

Agree with the view that our current shower of 'representatives' require a bargepole and a peg on the nose.

This made me giggle

For me it’s about Corbyn being a dim-witted overgrown student militant agitator. I look at the Labour front bench and shudder that they could ever imagine they have the intellectual capacity to do the real version of their jobs. Johnson doesn’t have to be great to be preferable to that.

The difference between maxing out your credit cards for Christmas and taking out a mortgage.

An article which speaks to Boris borrowing to invest but also JC renationalising to rebuild the Nation's balance sheet.

The LibDems seem to be the only ones still defending Osbornomics.

I was away over the weekend with friends, stayed in a lovely B&B and on Sunday morning the TV was on in the room where we were all eating breakfast. Corbyn's face came on (appearing with Andrew Marr later I think) and everyone groaned

This was true blue middle England, but the very idea of voting Labour was greeted with incredulity.

@Limer , Corbyn is a Brexiteer. This thread series is pro-Brexit. He's on your side.

I know bellini, but I don't want him as Prime Minister!

Neither do I. So if your man Johnson wins, you get Brexit. And you get Brexit if Corbyn wins.

If your man Johnson wins , you might get Brexit , if Corbyn wins you might get Brexit and if Swinson wins you might not

Are you voting Boris then bellini on the basis you don't want JC and you get Brexit regardless?

So if your man Johnson wins, you get Brexit

That'll do me.

Bellini rather than it being about sides I think it’s just been to the whole country’s disadvantage that the opposition has been so poor, so I think there have been no winners really.

@howabout - voting neither. Planning to write NONE on my ballot.
I cannot, in good conscience, enable any of the fuckers. Even if no one gives a shit about my ballot paper.

I can't make myself do that bellini. I feel morally obliged to choose a least bad option. Even found myself having to vote SNP in 2005
