Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

Do you think there will be a Deal or No Deal?


  • Total voters
    194
  • Poll closed .
Careful now, or Farage will be raising his standard in Nottingham, it will be 1642 all over again.

Silva is right though. Most of the history of public action in this country does suggest that smashing shit up is a more effective form of protest than marching peacefully.
 
You seem to have a defensive bee in your bonnet - I asked if it appears to be an organised rally … something said in unison something the press might pick up on and run with as a headline that leaves little wriggle room for the powers that be to deny or attempt to play down.

I don't know why you think I would be wumming, especially in a thread like this. Your reaction was unwarranted and unnecessary.

I just wanted to know the above, nothing more or less.

No you didn't … and if you really expect me to believe that you think over one million people all turned up in London today by coincidence and decided to march in unison upon Westminster then you are …

I really can't be bothered taking this any further, especially not today. I've tried to help as anyone can see if they scroll this conversation back. Sorry if you're upset or offended by my replies, I tried to be civil even when I detected some baiting - no offence meant. Go back and read through the thread and I think you'll get all the info you need on today's events.
 
So you're encouraging the Brexiters to riot are you? Come on man, think it through.

But that's exactly it. They haven't even had to, just being seen as more likely to do it has had government ministers running scared trying not to upset them for fear that they might start breaking things.

I'm not saying that's a good thing, but it is what it is.
 
I know the guy who runs Studio 338 (club in London) and he got backlash for putting a pic of their logo with the EU stars around it.

I jokingly said he should put an event on for remainers only and all the profit goes to EU charities.

Anyway someone has arranged something of a similar vein. A float with loads of quality DJs on it, through London as part of the march today.

Nah, instead they're downplaying the size of it tenfold and giving Farage's address to 200 people the final word on their article.

It's part of their insane impartiality protocol.

So, for example, if you have a Nobel Lauret scientist on to say the world is round, you need a neckbeard, basement dwelling conspirasit to say it's flat so that you have an impartial debate.

At the same time you elivate someone with zero qualification to the same level as a genuine expert.

Do viewers treat the points of view on their merit or just value them equally because they share the same platform?

Pretty much. There's really no reason if your a leave voter to protest, their version of Brexit(Most leave voters want a No deal)is getting closer everyday.

I had a whole post written out, but posting it adds more pointless fuel to the fire, which is not what I'm here to do.

You've apologised, whether sincere or not, I'm just reading through the thread and was actually interested in what you had posted up.
 
At least you are civilized in marches. I can't say the same about everyone.
 
@Silva They are totally wrong to use intimidation and violence, and so are you to call for it on your side.

Let's be clear, I approve of the march as a peaceful protest, but your posts here are straight out of the fascist handbook:

If the protestors want to achieve anything they need to tear London apart and not stop until parliament caves.

There's significantly more protestors in London today than there were at the poll tax riots, it would be very easy for them to wholly dominate London and prevent all political action in Parliament until they get their way.

While you stand by these posts I am quite in order to call you a fascist.

yes there's no difference between murdering people and breaking windows in westminster, jesus christ dude
 
Quite upset no one yet has the Father Ted inspired "down with this sort of thing" sign
 


I guess it's not so out of the ordinary that he can do this since he's the only person in the shadow cabinet that can't be sacked outside of Corbyn, but still.
 
People’s Vote march doesn’t represent the majority, Farage tells 200 people

The best report I could find from Nigel Farage's "March to Leave" address in front of 197 people in Nottinghamshire this morning where he dismissed the London march as irrelevant and not representative of what Britain wants :lol::lol::lol:

It's a fair point though?! Having a 7 digit number of protesters on the streets is impressive, but it could easily be a vocal minority.
Since the country is already en route to some form of Brexit at the moment it's also perfectly normal that the other side doesn't have a lot of people protesting.

They're too busy ringing a 77 year old woman, currently on holiday in Cyprus, to give her death threats.

Over 16 million people voted remain. 48%. Hardly only a vocal minority!

That was 2 years ago. Since then I suspect even more people have become aware of the risks of Brexit.
 
The people have marched; now MPs must take up the challenge
Observer said:
May has consistently sowed division where she should have tried to generate national consensus. She has pursued a Brexit strategy designed first and foremost to keep the Conservative party unified and her premiership secure, the national interest barely an afterthought. And she has ridden roughshod over parliament at every turn: resisting giving it a say over triggering article 50; granting a meaningful vote on her deal only when compelled to do so; attempting to force MPs into voting for her deal by delaying vote after vote to take us closer to the cliff edge.

May’s televised address last week was the culmination of that strategy. “I am on your side,” she intoned to voters. “Parliament has done everything possible to avoid making a choice.” She embraced populist language that could have been uttered by any tinpot dictator looking to trample the democratic institutions frustrating their personal agenda. In our parliamentary democracy, May’s mandate to lead the country comes purely from any support she commands from the House of Commons. Her words were not only self-defeating but bordering on the dangerously unconstitutional.

Almost like we should have an official national check on public opinion to see if it's still what we want.
