If true then it would appear that the Brexit Party is about the only safe bet for do or die Brexiteers, shame we've got to wait a little longer to see what kind of minority they are able to command in the next GE. I reckon BoJo could well be about to bottle it, roll on the 19th.... The Cummings lead , ministry for political disinformation , and enemy misguidance is working perfectly I see In reality , the libs and labour are in disarray , offering NO challenge, because it leads to a GE they know will destroy them. No one really knows how Boris is going to play this, I suspect he has multiple options, and they will be known to a few trusted members of his inner circle. The Brexit party are the veiled threat of what will happen if the tories dont deliver, and they are happy to be , just a threat, until we are out. The EU , the opposition, Eire, are all check mated, they are just pretending they are considering moves , but they know the games up.

sportsbob Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) All the subterfuge and diversionary tactics should be put aside, sovereignty and our rights are being handed over to a foreign power. This is the most recent video and one of many from a man who explains our rights forgotten and recently taken away, also why Independence from EU control is the only way regardless of the views of some ex pats and ex government employees. Perhaps a look at some of his other videos will explain further. Edited October 9, 2019 by sportsbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 2 hours ago, Mice! said: nothing as fun though, I'd just finished work ☹ I don't agree with importing cheap labour, we will never compete with China on the cheap stuff, the industries we should be competing in are skilled production, there is a reason why engines and planes etc are made here. Your right of course we should but skilled jobs often rely upon integrated methods of work, common standards and knowledge networks. Its possible, but harder, and likely to be more expensive to do this as UK plc. In any joint European collaboration UK plc will either not figure or be the weak link in the chain. Rather than focus on cheap give aways that we cannot afford the Government should have education as its number one priority. Knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're losing the topic argument you start on the personal stuff. Anyway, to fire into an open thread the post 'What do you teach?' without any kind of an explanation or any kind of context - or even a quoted response - is rank bad manners in my book. I wouldn't do it to someone else on an open forum and I won't respond when it's done to me. It's like kids really. If you reward their bad manners, they become intolerable after a while. So best not to indulge them. Anyway, back on topic. It's not often I can say that I wholly agree with a Guardian article, but this one makes interesting reading. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/oct/09/brexit-crisis-global-capitalism-britain-place-world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Well you mentioned you were a Tutor and that one of your students had asked you to be less than honest and you said you had refused. I just wondered what subject you taught? You then accused me of being rude and went VERY defensive. So then, what do you teach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retsdon Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Dominic Cummings is on the DS3 pay point for senior civil servants. That's £230,000 pa from the taxpayer. Incredible really that there isn't national outrage. His job basically is to help one faction of the Conservative party win the next election. Why is the taxpayer footing the bill?

The modern British state has distanced itself from the productive economy and is barely able to take an expert view of the complexities of modern capitalism. The state can no longer undertake the radical planning and intervention that might make Brexit work. That would require not only an expert state, but one closely aligned with business.
