He was a great chancellor but seriously past his sell by now.

Boris has run away from every fight since he was Mayor of London. He has lost his backbone (if he ever had one).
Who else? Lord knows. There's any number of "managers" but this country needs a "leader." We don't have one. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk |

Agreed he's resigned etc. but you forget the issue of collective responsibility. One of the basic principles of our parliament. Rather than vote for something he disagreed with, he resigned. Others such as Gove, to make a case in point, keep changing tack to stay in the lucrative positions.
Whether he's lost his bottle is another matter, but so far all we are saying is that if it isn't him then it's Corbyn. |

But he's a remained and to coin a phrase, you just don't get it. The reason we are in this mess is because the remain camp refused to accept a democratic result.
Whether the vote was right or not is another question but the perception, worldwide is that this country voted to leave the EU and the will of the people has been subsumed on the anvil of self interested remain politicians. Actually Tim, I was going to say that myself. 😁 |

Peter, although he is a strong Europhile and did indeed vote to remain, I do believe that he voted with the government to get Mrs May's deal approved.

Again you missed the point. That deal dies not permit the UK to leave the EU.

Peter, if that is the case, why is it that all the remainers who have voted against the Bill, haven't actually supported it? What you mean, I think, is that the UK would not be leaving the EU in the way that you, and some others, wish to, i.e. with no deal at all. |

The fact is they see it as a means to delay or impede any change in the relationship. But yes had we mad a clean break we would have been in a good position to settle a satisfactory deal. Tying to leave with a deal has done nothing but create confusion and bad feeling.

Well I think there are too many unanswered questions. Certainly there seems to be no easy solution. Seems like people are not going the right way

How on earth a remoaner could be made Prime Minister and then be expected to organise something she voted against will go down in history alongside Chamberlain's ' Peace in our time' as classic examples of all that is wrong with Politicians. |

Irish border...
Something occurs to me which I have yet to hear mentioned...it seems a lot of leavers voted that way because of immigration. Assuming there is no border between Northern and Southern Ireland what is to stop anyone catching a ferry from France to Dublin, up to Belfast and over to the UK mainland ......? Or am I missing something....

But since the remainers insist that Brexit will utterly ruin our country, why would anyone want to come here?............ I don't of course actually believe that immigration was in fact the main reason - although for some a contributory one - for the Leave vote. It certainly wasn't high in my concerns. |

Well everyone is warning us. We’ll still get those wanting to come here, as there’s still plenty in the country to make us happy
What were people’s main reason for leaving? |
