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...

Workers face ban on striking .

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jul/15/trade-unions-conservative-offensive-decades-strikes-labour?CMP=share_btn_fb     Tories launch biggest crackdown on trade unions for 30 years         The Labour party must oppose the continuing assault on ordinary people in this country. Organisation and protests against the excesses of this Conservative government is essential. Should Harriet Harman suggest even partial support for Conservative policies, she is clearly in the wrong party.

Leave the clocks alone!

  https://www.kentonline.co.uk/kent/news/did-you-remember-to-put-clocks-forward-224737/ Sanity returns!!! The clocks have gone forward by one hour and perhaps now I can get some proper sleep, and return to normal in numerous other areas which have been disrupted since 25th October 2020. That pesky little person who steals an hour from my sleep and disrupts my time/body clock for the next 6 months, should be confined to a secure location for ever. Never again should I and thousands like me be disrupted every year and for no apparent reason by an outdated and tenuous notion of "daylight saving". In fact we should probably put another hour at the start of the Summer and then stay on Double British Summer Time (DBST). for the duration. Message for pesky little person "LEAVE THE BLOODY CLOCKS ALONE!"
