Brexit Referendum - Page 102 - Politics and Economics

Ok a deal like this is probably going to come with a load of strings attached, but it's one he can easily sell to both sides of the argument without revealing, or anyone really caring, much about the small print.

As far as Article 50 goes, Boris can effectively wield this Sword of Damocles over pretty much everyone who has a stake in this argument, and i'd put my money on a GE in the next 12 months with this still hanging over the EU.

A deal with whome? EU is just going to say no to everything unless Art. 50 was evoked. The pressure is on the UK, its not our financial sector that is at stake here.

Bush came out of nowhere as a grassroots underdog, you say???

Lol.

Unless I've misunderstood you, the bold part is a chimera because free movement of people is a fundamental tenet of the single market and will not be compromised for any nation.

He really has very few decent options available to him that don't lead to abject political failure on his part, which is exactly why Cameron changed his mind about invoking Article 50 while he was still in office. It's called revenge.

Seems legit.

He's always been for good honest British citizens having the right to hold a hand gun. He's a 100% bona fide fruit loop.

Next: Farage calls for reintroduction of the death penalty, public floggings and child labour from 12 onwards.

I can just see the next set of lies eagerly swallowed by a disengaged minority of racist losers: "It's only because of the EU that we had to abandon these things"

At least mentally the English are busy building that wall.

Maybe you don't even care if Scotland is cut off?

You mean you didnt see Bush and laugh multiple times before the Florida joke?
Bush was a joke all his life. Have you seen the movie W? Bush has been coming out of nowhere all his life.

Bush was elected president a second time as well (how did you know i wasnt speaking of the second time by the way) given all the massacre in mistakes that had taken place already.

My take on Bush being a joke is crystal clear and your hatred on all my positions ever on anything is even more clear than ever.

Did you have a beer with Bush maybe like all the voters wanted?

Fool me once...

So sad/pathetic to see this second referendum nonsense. Typical from the left to lose and then be massive pussies and want a do-over.

Older voters who have lived in a EU and nonEU UK > humanities major who watched a 12 min. john oliver clip.

European markets were generally worse hit than the ftse on Friday, ok sample size etc but you'd have to think there was a resolution available where everyone saves face and just blames Cameron.

Again, you'd probably think Article 50 will possibly only be invoked in 12 months time, maybe longer - the EU landscape could look significantly different by then, and I can't see how the UKs negotiating position can get any worse, hence why the EU wants it invoking now.

If you were referring to his 2nd campaign as an out-of-nowhere populist phenomenon, then double the lols.

Bush being a joke has nothing to do with him coming from nowhere as a populist. I do hate ignorant hot takes, yes this is true.
