Nothing that the cabinet is likely to agree is going to be agreeable to the remaining 27. It's like two children arguing which fast food restaurant they want to go to with a parent who has no intention of taking them to any fast food restaurant at all. The effort and energy that's going into these 'crunch talk' cabinet meetings is entirely wasted.
Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

LBC radio are a disgrace.
What. The. Feck.
“He is a longstanding supporter of fellow Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg, funding the Conservative MP’s Election campaign in 2015. In 2007, he also helped Rees-Mogg set up an investment firm of his own, Somerset Capital Management, which has virtually no investments in the UK, but large holdings in Russia.”
The irony of this whole thing.
Yeah but if Corbyn comes out against Brexit...
Are you angry about everything in this world? Just read some of your posts im the trump thread.
Must be tiring if you are . Cant you find anything in life to be happy about?
Does the idea of the British government being in the pockets of Russia fill you with some sort of joy or zen-like calm?
Why would they put a power station pumping out shit into the air in a montage of ‘Britishness’?
Don't think i got that memo.
It's an emerging markets focused investment firm.
He’s wumming but knows brexiters will swallow it no matter what. Most likely just testing the limits of how stupid they actually are or if there’s no bottom to it.Banks and Wigmore getting grilled now. Apparently Wigmore immediately asked the committee chair to recuse because he accepted Chelsea tickets once. Response: “Nice try, Mr Wigmore’.
This is going to be a clown car performance.
This is going to be a clown car performance.
This really should be something that 99% of people find utterly hilarious. The scary thing is the amount of people who would pump their fist at seeing it.
So...anything new with the Soros campaign?
Banks and Wigmore running with a ‘we didn’t use CA because we’re better at it than them’ defense.
“Upon meeting with Cambridge Analytica, Banks says, “it became clear that there was a lot of sizzle but not much substance.”
Wigmore adds: “When you market an insurance company… it’s marketing. You’re talking about pay-per-click, Google ads. All we did was apply that knowledge in marketing in insurance to politics, because it’s what we knew… here, we believed CA were perceived as one of the best political campaigning companies. The truth is, our marketing people actually knew more than they did.”
“Collins turns to Aggregate IQ, trying to disentangle the relationship between them and CA. Banks doesn’t offer much, but does return to why they rejected CA: “I think, as we saw in the Channel 4 expose, [Nix] made a lot of claims about what his company can do… I got the definite feeling that he was just an ad agency.”
Wigmore interjects : “This claim that we can just hypnotise people is rubbish.”
Banks: “We did our own ‘micromessaging’, if you like: we targeted at Green voters, for instance, about poor African countries”

Twats.
“Wigmore admits he’s an “agent provocateur, I’m guilty of slight exaggeration in the message. The truth is we put out, in the document, did we use CA in the pitch, yes, did they do some work before the pitch, yes.”
Banks adds “we certainly weren’t afraid of leading journalists up the country path, the same with politicians… the same if you get Dominic Cummings on the stand… I think you have to take a slight pinch of salt, because we were running a campaign deliberately aimed at making fun of people, pushing them in a certain direction.”
Matheson: “Does that include also making fake news to wind people up?”
Banks: “I would say, Chris, that Parliament itself is the. biggest source of fake news in the country… straight after this hearing you’ll be at lunch with some Guardian journalist quaffing a glass of Chablis and spinning this how you want.”
These idiots really have bought into their self-created ‘Bad boys of Brexit’ image. I hope it all comes crashing down on top of them.

Oohh it’s all kicking off!
“I’m frankly sick and tired of this,” Banks says. “You’ve got a vested interest in trying to discredit the Brexit campaign. I look, you’ve not called any witnesses from the Remain campaign to hammer them. If Mr Osborne, editor of the evening standard, isn’t going to any football matches with Putin’s number one man, he’s certainly working for Putin’s second man.
“The guy leading the Remain campaign is working for a Putin oligarch in London. If you can’t see double standards, I don’t think that’s fair.”

A nod to the industrial revolution? Surely a Brunel bridge or something would be a better way though.Why would they put a power station pumping out shit into the air in a montage of ‘Britishness’?
Is that a call for a 2nd referendum to find out what the will of the people is?
This is worth a watch
“Collins asks about international collaboration between Euroskeptic movements. Wigmore says he went to visit “someone in France”, and Banks adds that, before the referendum, “there was some meetings with the Five Star movement” in Italy.
But Banks says “if there were a second referendum, I don’t think I’d be involved in it. Frankly, if I could go back on this one, I might not do that again.”
But Banks says “if there were a second referendum, I don’t think I’d be involved in it. Frankly, if I could go back on this one, I might not do that again.”
If this is true, it's absolutely shocking and an incredibly dangerous precedent.
OH MY GOD
what the feck dude
I really want this arrogant cnut to go down. 
“Damian Collins tries to call Ian Lucas for another question, but Banks refuses to take it, saying he’s got an appointment for lunch that he doesn’t want to be late for. He stands up to leave, with Collins asking for one more question.
“The word is no. When we went out, you said 20 minutes, and I think we’ve run past it.” Banks walks out while the cameras are still running, and Collins, looking perturbed at losing control, ends the hearing.”

Yeah, think he might want to rework that intro.
Kenneth Clarke says the argument that keeping the Lords amendment would undermine the prime minister is “ridiculous”. It is based on the theory that in the continent they don’t know there are divisions in the cabinet.
This generates some solid laughter.
He says on the continent people are bemused by the British. Other EU governments have to get the approval of their parliaments for Brexit. Today’s debate is just an attempt by “zealots” to stop this parliament having a say.
The UK government presumably do realise that people outside the UK know what's going on in the UK.
All May is going to negotiate with the EU is how much it would cost to stop the bankruptcy of the UK.

Jacob Rees-Mogg has probably promised her that all carrier pigeons and telegraphs are being censored from those brutes abroad.
Dominic Grieve is no idiot.
"The irrationality of the debate we are having on the details of Brexit is truly chilling.
He says the government is trying to pass hugely complex legislation. But anyone who questions how it might work is denounced by the newspapers.
He says there could be a crisis if parliament rejects the deal and there is no fallback."

Kate Hoey is one of the worst exports from N.Ireland. My apologies.
