He himself admitted when confronted about it in an interview, but said he was only having a laugh. He has changed his story a few times though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Buffalo Springfield and Curtis Mayfield ain't exactly the standard for our age group, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say that for just about everybody who has listened to Mozart in - just for sake of argument - Mozart. I did not exclusively listen to 1960s and '70s music irrespective. I have Bjork albums in my collection and had some atrocious heavy metal albums. I even have those arch Labour luvvies' debut, Definitely Maybe.

So do you think Farage is just a "good decent person" to paraphrase himself? Never noticed a pattern over the years? I'd like to point out that Trump's other cheerleader Gove is a loony too. Here is in 2008; "The liberation of Iraq has actually been that rarest of things – a proper British foreign policy success. Next year, while the world goes into recession, Iraq is likely to enjoy 10% GDP growth. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLegend Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 So looking at the make-up of parliament to see how many people would have to vote against Brexit to prevent article 50 from being triggered. Basically it would require most of Labor assuming SNP/Lib Dems ect. voted against it. I don't see how it doesn't get triggered given Labor's stance.

AtariLegend Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 You Gov poll a few months ago, that said they'd pick up a few extra percent of voters if they done a 360 and promised a 2nd referendum than if just went ahead and supported it like they are now. Tories would still win, but a coalition with Lib Dems would be enough for PM Jeramey. UKIP's numbers didn't seem to change regardless of what stance the other parties took. Anyway, no chance of that now. I'm not making an argument for it, just saying! He was right on Trident though (imo). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people couldn't be bothered research it enough to make an informed choice the 1st time round then tough shit for them. They voted for it and now they have to own it for better or worse. Also I'll be in favour of getting rid of the nukes 100%. Just as soon as everybody else does the same. 2 minutes ago, DieselDaisy said: Tories must love Corbyn. For the ankle grabbing? It is a very public school thing I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Get with the left wing times Dazey. You now clamour for repeat referenda if the original one produced the 'wrong' result, as well as also denying the mandate of democratically elected leader.

The popular vote does not decide the American election, and the Tories are the government as being the party with the majority as democratically elected - May formed the government upon Cameron's demise. Regardless, if May called an election she would win by a country mile so the latter would be academic. In fact, if Theresa May called an election she would probably increase the number of Tory seats - such is the state of Labour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again polls also suggest it would be possible to change that. I also like how it's been brushed under the rug that she was the one who handled immigration before becoming PM. Net immigration from outside the EU was of course slightly higher than from inside. So the old blaming freedom of movement? Free pass from those that wanted to "keep the Muslims" out?

The Greens or Lib Dems have about as much chance at forming a government as Labour. Labour are buggered for the next decade I'm afraid.

She was a remain-er, because she thought it would win. Like Cameron. Spends years blaming EU on everything, then changes tune during referendum. She sat on the sidelines, because it was her best spot whether Cameron won or lost. Boris probably wanted Cameron to win just by a slight margin to look better in the eyes of voters, the buffon probably never thought he'd win or wanted. Gove didn't have Murdoch on side and Murdoch always picks the winner. Edited January 24, 2017 by AtariLegend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gove didn't have Murdoch on side and Murdoch always picks the winner :(. Cameron was definitely a remainer. Witness that shocking deal he came back with. You have to remember that the Tories have fought multiple civil wars over this issue. A great chunk of the Tories are also stupid pro-EU whinge bags. Ironically, the left of Labour have more in common (on this issue) with the Eurosceptic Tories than the rest of their party, and the Blairites have more in common with the EU fanatics - people like Ken Clarke. PS The day of that vote I was on the train going to the cricket and there was some gingery girl with a ''vote remain'' badge and a hideously patronising left wing face.
