So , an EU official uses his position to comment on a UK election with a thinly veiled remainer backing. That absolutely galvanises those who want to reduce EU influence. Not for the first time a Donald T needs to shut the fuck up!

He had left his position before he made the comment.

You may be confusing Council with Commission. Tusk is still in office.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He specifically said that if he had made that comment while in post he would have been fired. Presumably then he was referring to that specific post rather than a position within the EU full stop, which is how I read it and therefore was thinking of it as the comments of a private citizen, albeit a rather high profile one.

I agree with your sentiment in general though. Neither Donald should be appearing to interfere in our sovereign politics, especially in an election campaign.

Well if Swinson wants to get into an arrangement with the SNP I hope she has plans to move constituencies somewhere south of the border as her seat would be in serious danger.

At least I got one thing right.

By agreeing to an election Labour have had their worse result since the 80's, the SNP are further away from IndyRef2 and the LibDems are at just 13 seats. Talk about turkeys voting for Christmas!

Corbyn pulls out of talks, so my predicted chain of events:

Brexit Party comfortably largest at Euro elections

May Deal fails again first week of June

May goes end June

Johnson is PM as although Tory MP's hate him they think he'll be the best option electorally so being Tories side on self interest

Johnson wants no deal but can't get it through Parliament

General Election

Tories get working majority

EU gives further extension
Johnson negotiates very little if much different to that achieved by May

No deal or hard Brexit in first half of 2020

Britain is screwed for at least the next two decades

Not perfect, but pretty damn close

Corbyn needs to go now.

The remain campaign misjudged the will of the people. Their memories of Cameron pre 2010 saying how the Lisbon treaty needed fundamental and significant change to be acceptable to Britain. His failure to deliver any meaningful change yet head the remain campaign was, in hindsight, an own goal. Corbyns failure to unite a labour vote is another own goal. His changing opinions was proved to be divisive.Markets like stair lifts can go mup as well as down. Let the dust settle. What the result does give me is a little more faith in the British system showing the people when pissed off can cause a real upset. Now politicians from all sides need to earn their corn and come up with a plan for exit and the future. Sturgeon may well go for a referendum but the economic case is really really poor as on its own Scotland meet very few criteria to join the EU. Now is the time for the United Kingdom to unite and show its mettle.

Well done Nostradamus. Any chance you can stop saying I told you so?

It's fucking tedious.

I'm not uniting with the racists and the openly thick, thanks all the same.

THAT IS NOT WHAT THAT IS. In three years absolutely nothing has changed. The sad shame of those posts is that they are completely accurate today and should have been acted on in June 2016 but were not. I am being asked , repeatedly , to own my choices and I do. You and others need to own yours too. For three years of bitching , fighting and moaning and we now have a huge tory majority and potentially a worse place than if the vote had not been respected in 2016. And no opposition.

According to research by Bloomberg Economics, the cost of the UK's vote to leave has already reached £130 billion, with a further £70 billion likely to be added by the end of 2020.

The analysis, carried out by economist Dan Hanson, found that business uncertainty has caused the UK's economic growth to lag behind that of other G7 countries since the 2016 vote.

That means the British economy is now 3% smaller than it would have been if the UK had not voted to leave the EU.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

But the public should crowd fund £500k to make Big Ben bong to celebrate this chavalanche of cuntitude.

Get to fuck wankers. I hope you raise nothing.
