Diplomatic pressure? That,s a hoot! Iran will do as it pleases, and the only thing that might change their minds is the threat of military action from someone they cannot beat! The reason why we are impotent, is because successive governments (with their useless civil servants) have denuded the military (in this case the Royal Navy) of men amd equipmant! And we are still in the EU (sadly) yet they have done and said nothing! As usual.

Excellent post! Next week will confirm all lot of what we expected, when the Tories open up on tv as to what happened ......Hague openly admits the Referendum was given to beat Tory rebels, and the emerging power of UKIP! They got it badly wrong! Serves them right! They took us for granted, and it blew up in their faces! Correct!

Oh! Here we go.....let,s bring up the old racist smear tactics! When all else fails, Remainers fall back on this! It,s rubbish!

and out of date! The EU is SINKING! Those who prevented us getting out sooner, with a better deal? Those who deliberately blocked a better deal? And bear in mind, they might be angry, but they will be in a sovereign, independent state, where they can help make laws, and change laws! That will NEVER happen within the EU.

Not even worth a comment!

Captain Oates was dying, and wanted to give his companions a chance to survive by his actions! He knew what he was doing....................a real hero! As for "the richest trade bloc" on the planet...perhaps you have not been keeping up with their status? The EU is failing! Germany and France on brink of recession, Greece a basket case, Portugal too! Italy with massive debts it cannot service....Wow! Who wouldn,t want to be part of that? Whilst the EU Commission sails blithely on, the individual countries are getting very worried! My German friends tell me that there is unease that, when the UK leaves the EU, Germany will have to make up the shortfall in the EU budget, and they do not like that at all! Who else will? Not the rest of the motley crew! Sadly, I fear you are delusional. We will be leaving.

Foolish remark.....

" specifics defined" Who do you suggest defines these specifics? Remainers? and with NO DEAL as the fall back option! But this is NOT a war with Germany, but an attempt to be a free, sovereign nation once again!

As the BBC licence fee row drags on, it has today been revealed that the BBC is recruiting a crack team to make ‘personal visits’ demanding of those aged over 75 to see their licence fee papers and force those without to hand over what little cash they have to continue using their televisions. The BBC’s corporate director of policy has claimed this new team of intimidating enforcers will be separate from the BBC’s ‘enquiry officers’ who are currently responsible for forcing people to cash up for the company’s deeply unpopular tax. This new team reminds Guido of another group who used mass intimidation of without fear of repercussion… Not all of today’s licence fee row news is this difficult to stomach however, as it seems BBC officials are starting to listen to Guido’s advice. Today the BBC Director-General announced the company could become an opt-in subscription service like Netflix from 2027—a decision Guido recommended the beeb should take 6 months ago. If only the BBC had switched from its outdated funding model, as Guido advised, the need for an OAP license fee ‘Gestapo’ would be avoided in the first place… Source: GUIDO FAWKES

Michel Barnier told Nick Robinson for a BBC Panorama special airing tonight that Theresa May “never” threatened to walk away without a deal. He said that the EU wouldn’t be “impressed by such a threat” and that it’s “not useful to use it”. It seems obvious that if Theresa May hadn’t just set out to “impress” the EU side or be “useful” to them, a tougher UK stance would have secured a better deal… Tonight’s Panorama is proving to be another revealing affair – on Brexit this week rather than the chronic anti-Semitism within the Labour Party. There’s already been the revelation from Barnier that May was never serious about ‘no deal’. Juncker’s “monster” Martin Selmayr had another fascinating nugget on Today… Nick Robinson reveals that Selmayr made an “extraordinary secret offer” to David Lidington to put Brexit “on ice” for five years to develop a new intra-EU partnership instead. Selmayr then talks about how he floated the idea in a late-night session with UK negotiators: “I think we all agreed in the room but we all are officials and we had to respect the mandate that was given and that was unfortunately to negotiate a divorce.” Hardly surprising that they came back with such a terrible deal given not one of them genuinely believed leaving was a good idea… Selmayr himself won’t be around for any more late-night negotiating sessions, Libération’s Jean Quatremer has got the fascinating inside scoop on how the “sulphurous” Selmayr has been swiftly defenestrated after trying to hijack the process of picking a new Commission President to get another pliant puppet put in place. Guido somehow suspects it won’t be the last we’ll be seeing of him…

The fact that the EU is trying to get into bed with the rest of the English speaking world does not mean that we will not have trade deals with them! It,s more like the EU have finally started to wake up to the fact that they are NOT the only players in the game! I,ve read your posts, and it seems to me, that, far from being curious as to what will happen, you are really actively pushing a Remain aganda? Yes, and the next President (the German ex-Defence Minister) was not even on the ballot paper! Elected by a secret ballot! How democratic is that?

The people who told you that 3 years ago were ALL Remainers, lulling you into a sense of false security, while they planned to screw us!

Hi, I,m looking for the above, preferably a MEC 600, for a friend. or a 28g conversion kit for the MEC 600 machine?

Until a new trade deal is concluded with the EU, we trade under WTO rules. It will not take the EU long to conclude a trade deal, as we already meet requirements on virtually everything we trade! We have been using their rules for 45 years, so we know them backwards! We trade under WTO with the rest of the world, until we do separate deals with them. USA is already wanting to do a trade deal with us, as is most of the English speaking world. He does NOT make the decisions! They are made by individual countries! Correct! That could be true....

https://order-order.com/2019/07/17/uk-fintech-growth-hits-record-high-despite-brexit/ UK fintech growth is at record levels this year: UK fintech startups have already managed to secure £2.34 billion of investment in the first six months of 2019 – despite the expectation that Brexit would happen in March. The sector is well on course to smash last year’s record of £2.66 billion. It comes just after yesterday’s ONS figures showed wages rising at 3.6%, the fastest rate since 2008, while unemployment is at a 45-year low and inflation is steady at its target of 2%. Still waiting for Osborne’s “immediate and profound” economic shock…Despite Brexit! Poor Anna Soubry. She’s lost influence, friends, and will probably lose her seat. She has poured her heart out to ITV’s Paul Brand “we made some terrible mistakes over leadership and I can tell you now that the problem was was that Chuka wouldn’t step up to it. And if Chuka had stepped up to it he would have been our leader, it was certainly …well I always assumed it was absolutely going to happen. Paul Brand: Why do you think he didn’t? Anna Soubry: You’d have to ask him that but he does have history of not stepping up. Very sad because he… to me he was absolutely the future for our country. I genuinely believe that, I wouldn’t have left my party if I hadn’t believed that. PB: Were you trying to persuade him to stand as leader? AS: Good God, yes. Goodness me yes. He should have been our leader and he wasn’t and then after the EU elections which were a terrific blow of course they were you don’t give up at the first hurdle, for God’s sakes. PB: How did you feel when he joined the Lib Dems? AS: I think he made a terrible mistake. I was genuinely really sad about that. For me it personally hurt, it really did hurt. I thought he was my big buddy. He was a major part of why I left the Tory party. To start something new with him as the leader, I don’t want to be the bloody leader I genuinely believe that Chuka Umunna should be prime minister of our country and had the – just what we were needing to be a great prime minister. I genuinely believe that. PB: Have you spoken to him since he joined the Lib Dems? AS: Unfortunately, he has never called. He has never called me. Which I think is very sad. PB: The friendship’s sort of broken down then? AS: Very sad. Very sad. We have exchanged emails but you now, you sort of, well I won’t go into it all but … Watch her heartbreaking ITV interview in full and hold back your tears… Boo Hoo! Source: Guido Fawkes

Most of them do not know what anti-semitism means! I,m willing to bet that less than 10% know that it has links to Hitler, and WW2, and 6 million murdered in the concentration camps.....it,s not taught in most schools! Almost like the Nuremburg trials!

Democratically elected? By union BLOCK votes? Many of those union members do NOT pay the political levy, and many do not support Labour, particularly the nasty form of Labour that Corbyn brings with him! But still the unions members were deemed to have given permission for their hierarchy to vote in Corbyn? It,s a joke! As for smears, since Panorama, more Labour staffers and members have come forward.....and are suing the party LEAD by Corbyn!

Does that mean they are immune to bullying?

The only legal moves coming are from the staff who blew the whistle! Serves Labour right! I hope these people get a big payout! But they are anti-semitic?

I see the liar is at it again!

Exactly! A soft Brexit is Remain by any other name......No thanks! I know him under his pseudonym........Billy Liar!

and to avoid the swinging tariffs that the EU stuck to them! Another reason to Leave!

Do they get paid extra for those "meetings"? The Limp / Dumbs will never change their minds, and go over to TBP. The hope of a job in Brussels when they leave Westminster is all they have to hang on to................or the House of Lords! It makes you wonder whats in it for them ? The House of Lords? Brussels? Quangos? Company directorships? The list is endless..........one thing is certain, it will NOT be principled retirement into oblivion.

Doing it with agreement, with the connivance of "most" MPs, was to hide activity bordering on the criminal, from the electorate! That was Parliament thwarting its own underhand activity! Regardless of what egotistical politicians may think, it,s the People who have sovereignty......it is only loaned to politicians. If Boris wants to prorogue Parliament, good luck to him!

It would have been equally unpleasant for both sides of the House for the "cash for questions" to have been debated in Parliament, as both sides probably had members who were implicated! They were ALL happy to let this happen................ But no proof that Rewulf is wrong? So that is carp, too?
