You don't understand. That's not an "alternative". If Johnson wins the next election, nothing the GNU does in the interim matters.
NI do have to stay in the Customs Union to get a deal and not break the GFA so hope Merkel did say it. Enough pussyfooting around.
You vote whoever has the most chance in your specific constituency of defeating the Tories/Breixt party.
It's really not difficult. If you vote elsewhere because you might get taxed a couple percent more then you can't complain about Boris forcing through Brexit.
How awful yet accurate it sounds. Triumph of cynicism (perhaps only temporary though)
Please, no extension, we've all had enough.
Haha. Go for it Hess
Let's say it takes, what, two minutes to walk up to someone's door and have a quick chat/give ample time to decide someone is not in. 30 homes an hour. That's 833 hours. Twelve hours a day maximum of doing that would be 69 days. 69 hehehehehe.
That's 25 doors an hour for 6 weeks with no rest.
fecking hell the engine on that woman, can she play midfield?
A GE that takes place after a 2nd ref is completely different to one that takes place before a resolution to the Brexit question, that's obvious. The majority of the public would be glad it's over, no matter what the outcome, and the election would be fought on far more usual issues (assuming the outcome of the 2nd ref didn't completely feck up the economy).
Bit harsh, that.
That's so removed from reality...
Well as I said, the way the next 3-4 weeks pans out will dictate how it goes, if they force Johnson to get an extention (quite possible given the Benn Act, no hope of the EU agreeing to his terms for a deal and the fact he's said he won't resign) then it'll probably severely weaken him electorally and we'll never find out.
However, if the Tories manage to come through it without losing support to the Brexit Party I think the opposition parties hands will be tied and we'll get to find out.
Personally I think most people just want a resolution one way or the other and despite the extemists making a lot of noise it will die out as the rest of the country moves on with their lives to what they consider to be more important issues (like I said, this assumes the out of all this isn't the economic disaster it could be).
Nobody mentioned Brexit to Jess Phillips because she wouldn’t let them get a word in until she’s finished talking about me me me
Explain?
It looked like you were calling her Rudolf Hess, the Nazi!
Well yes but i did not know that a play on words was against caf rules.It looked like you were calling her Rudolf Hess, the Nazi!
Oh, I thought it was a typo.
Instinctively parents want for their children, a better life than they had themselves. That’s a universal truth since who knows when. And so I find it difficult to support Labour's current stance on private schools and inheritance. I’m not talking about 100s of years of generational wealth, simply people who have progressed through the economic classes through hard work and good parenting.
That’s aspiring for me: people who believe they and their family can progress over time through legal endeavour and hard work.
The problem with Labour's stance is that it attacks the core motivation and purpose of human life. And so it becomes a fundamental deal breaker for many I know, myself included.

You may joke, but capitalism is fundamentally built on this human behaviour. Brands being symbols of recognition etc, nowadays on steroids because of social media.
My favourite MP these days is Caroline Lucus!Can’t vote Tory, can’t vote Labour, can’t vote Lib Dem......
The UK leaves at 23.00 (UK time) as it stands.
Are you saying you wouldn't bother working upwards if you can't as a couple pass on more than 250k to your children? You think that passes the sniff test?
It's nothing to do with aspiration. People against IHT fall into two categories the offspring of well off parents (greed) or those who despise their money being taken by the state (hoarders).

So the rest of us lose(Losing means literally disabled people getting their benefits cut and dying) because your child ''might'' get the chance to go to The Bullingdon Club ?
Christ thats bleak. But fair enough I guess, it seems to be in your material interest not to vote Labour and the potential of the Bullingdon Club far weights such things as the stopping the sale of weapons to the saudi royal family, tackling the homelessness crisis , supporting people on benefits and trying to help save the planet with Labour Green New Deal. But hey at least your honest.
At 9:00
It’s impossible to have a sensible conversation on this if you’re going to reduce the entire private school system as entry into the Bullington club or whatever it is.
Likewise, and annoyingly for me, it stops labour being electable because they lose a ton of votes.
And just like you will think first about how your vote impacts you, before other issues that don’t directly affect you, that’s the same for everyone.
Lastly, what is the fundamental purpose of human life in a progressive country, if it isn’t the generational progression of those you love?

That's the problem with egalitarianism - it comes into conflict with human nature. In regards to the education system then, it seems pretty clear to me that the decision to abolish the grammar school system in the 1960s was a huge mistake. It should've been reformed instead.

Being an economical martyr where everyone’s as pisspoor and miserable as each other. Sounds ace to me
Well they are aspirational because Matalan didn't have the plum ones in my size so I've gone for the size below in the hope I'll lose some weight.
So if I wanted to set aside enough so my kid could go to uni without graduating with £30k of debt I'm a hoarder?
The general advancement of people with less than yourself, the forgotten people, the needy people we don't love but deserve better. Lets advance them.
Benn Act sets the date as Oct 19th for getting a deal, otherwise an extension request is required.
You can give me half your unemployment benefit of €100k a week , you've forgotten me and you don't love me and you must have more than anyone else.
You are needy in ways that are not financially resolvable my friend.
You're so yank
DeGea transfer all over again
Someone in the UK has just won 170million on the Euromillions lottery. Probably the head of the UK Communist Party campaigning for Brexit.
Does that include the far right BrExit vote base?
Also isn’t that what one does by paying taxes?
Anyways probably best stop as we are derailing a thread meant to be about BrExit.

Ok for it.
Thanks for clarification. So that’s the big day that the markets will also move, depending on what happens.
