Tories and Labour savaged as voters take Brexit revenge

We are all (mostly) agreed that to leave the EU with no "deal" and no solution to the Northern Ireland border problem, would be an unmitigated disaster for the people of the United Kingdom and for the economy of the country. The results of the European elections, demonstrate that there is a majority of opinion in this country which favours a "remain" position as the majority of votes went to those parties which advocate remaining in the EU or favour a second referendum.We ignore Farage and his Brexit party vote at our peril, but the fact remains that the Liberal Democrats, the Greens, SNP and the others from the remain side of the argument, outweighed the Brexiteers by more than the difference in the referendum result. There has been a significant shift in opinion sine the referendum and we must recognise this fact.We know that this Conservative government and its new leader, who ever he or she may be, are hell bent on leaving the EU on the 31st October with or as is more likely without, any "deal" which means that we crash out of Europe at midnight on that day and into a disastrous aftermath. Where then does this leave our party?
Clearly, we have to win back those voters who turned to the Liberal Democrats, the Greens, SNP and the others, because we did not and still do not offer a clear, distinct and credible vision of what is the way forward.

As from today, our message must be clear. We must press for revocation of Article 50 and a General election in order to change the mathematics of the House of Commons which will restore some sanity and resolve the chaos of the last three years. If we do not shout this message from he rooftops, the new Tory party leader will drag this country into disaster.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

The writing on the wall

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-government-zero-hour-contract-ban-latest-a9257281.html?fbclid=IwAR0OW6qhoVnO9MVH-E9ruKFLnL_V3NQ5PMpYEkGGHEXskJxkAsrr2UJjRIs Two-thirds of voters want  Boris Johnson ‘s government to ban zero-hours contracts, a poll has found. There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson.  "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
