No. You just proved that you are simply going to respond to anything you think I post with insults and nonsense. Even if it's not me posting....

What a silly man you are.

Sitting in your soiled pants, mashing away at things that aren't even there...I feel sorry for you that this is what passes for your weekend.
Fingers, you are the instigator of these episodes, not me, in future confine yourself to on topic posts.

Meanwhile, back at brexit...

Secret report reveals government fear of schools chaos after no-deal Brexit
Risk of axed exams and food shortages, while informing the public ‘may cause panic’
Schools may have to close, exams could be disrupted and fresh food for pupils’ meals could run short because of panic buying with prices soaring by up to 20%, according to a secret Department for Education analysis of the risks of a no-deal Brexit obtained by the Observer.

The five-page document – marked “Official Sensitive” and with the instruction “Do Not Circulate” – also raises the possibility of teacher absences caused by travel disruption, citing schools in Kent as particularly at risk.

On the dangers of food shortages to schools, it suggests that informing the public of the risks could make matters even worse.

You gotta love the Sunday Guardian.

I reckon they have a real laugh in the newsroom trying to outdo each other with the weekly Brexit horror story.

This is a particuarly good one though tbf.

It's worse than we thought, the laddie doesn't even know what day of the week it is.

I know it’s hard for the older generation but what you see online tonight is what will be on the front page of The Observer tomorrow. They make banner headlines of misery to appeal to the tragic self hate of the remainers and to tap into their fear. It’s been going on for three years now. I wouldn’t expect you to notice as you lap this fear up like a Scot with free buckfast and heroin.

Christ it’s like wading through treacle the pace my brain has to work with you simpletons. So eager to score a petty point you are prepared to make yourself look a fool.

No doubt it will but you referred to the "Sunday Guardian" in a post about an article published on Saturday by the Guardian . I see you corrected the name of the paper in your last post after having had time to do some googling. So eager to score a petty point you made a fool of yourself.

Well, I wouldn't notice as I don't read the Guardian or the Observer and I certainly don't "lap this fear up".
It's obvious that you've never met a Scot who is off their tits on Buckie and smack because you would know that they fear nothing to the point of self-destruction.

Christ it’s like wading through treacle the pace my brain has to work with you simpletons.
That's the problem with being hard of understanding like you, you end up thinking everyone else is a simpleton when in fact it is you.
When your mistakes, inaccuracies, erroneous assumptions, and the drivel you post are brought to your attention you descend into posting petty insults, the mark of a dimwit.

So eager to score a petty point you are prepared to make yourself look a fool.
To paraphrase the old saying, it's better to look a fool than post like you and remove all doubt

The Daily Mail is Running "Project Fear 2: The Brexit strikes back"

No Deal Brexit: the Amateur home made disaster
There is plenty there to be concerned about in what is accepted in that article.

By the way, how much would it cost to have 11,000 lorries queuing on the M20? How much extra pollution as they sit with chiller units running and regular start, move a little, stop as the queue moves?

I was interested in mention of Milford Haven becoming a freeport. Wondering what activities would justify that?

The reason Fingers and co post nonsense is that they have no pragmatic reason they can offer that Brexit is a good idea. and every time they post it becomes more and more obvious.
In theory the Referendum was a simple Yes/No on leaving or remaining in the EU
The remain side listed the very things the leave side are now saying have to be endured in the cause of Brexit.
The leave side now assures themselves and those that voted Brexit, that all promises that they made to gain support from voters, had no impact on the support of the voters who ,despite not knowing it at the time, really wanted a "No Deal Brexit" and to suffer in a good cause.

Here to remind all on both sides, what the inducements offered at Huge expense in psy ops warfare actually were, it is a list of the 19 promises made and broken to buy support , and the names of those who made them.
After Brexit, remember this list, those who made the promises and demand that it be honoured :cool:

https://infacts.org/cut-keep-list-top-19-brexiteer-promises/

In full.... otherwise you have been nothing short of mugged., and your future shunted off into a dead end to protect the assets of the rich till sanity returns and we rejoin the EU.

And little details such as three quarters of the UK fishing catch is sold to the EU.
If you look at this in detail it even promises rises in food prices too.
Who really voted for that to happen when we were promised cheaper food?

And this one stands out too
"“After we Vote Leave, there won’t be a sudden change that disrupts the economy.” – Boris Johnson, Gisela Stuart and Michael Gove .

That hasn't worn well, has it, even before we leave.

Announcing a Brexit Bonus!!
From the BBC
Boris Johnson announces £1.8bn one-off cash boost for NHS hospitals

Well, it is ONE TENTH of the amount promised on the bus...
Could this be the going rate of return on Brexit promises?
A measly TENTH?

....or in Brexiter language, 10% of what he promised on the bus...ever felt you've been had?

Can anyone explain why this nut job is dictating policy to a Government supposedly keen on democratically elected politicians? (Excluding of course the present PM)
"the Telegraph has reported that Dominic Cummings, Johnson’s senior adviser, told aides to prepare for a budget in early October, just weeks before the scheduled Brexit date. "

Told aides? with what mandate ? just because the Liar king likes the fool?

Sweet music:

"MPS are too late to prevent a no-deal Brexit, Boris Johnson’s most senior aide has said. Dominic Cummings told ministers and officials that the Prime Minister will honour his October 31 pledge even if Jeremy Corbyn and pro-Remain Conservatives succeed in forcing a general election.

In a series of explosive briefings last week, Mr Cummings suggested that the Labour leader had missed his opportunity to secure an election before the UK’s intended departure date from the EU.

If Mr Johnson loses a no-confidence vote when the Commons returns in September, potentially leading to a general election, the Prime Minister would have the power to schedule the poll for after Hallowe’en, Mr Cummings disclosed.

He also claimed that an election would lead to a Conservative majority."

Ha.

Brilliant.

Finally - they're going to do what they said they would do. Which is honour the result of the referendum. Finally. Some people with integrity.

From the Telegraph btw.

OK - back to your opposite opinions and rants.

Who invented the term "honour the result of the referendum"?

Utter bilge. If anything, it should be the voters who are honoured. My choice of doing so would be to ensure that the issue is referred back to the electorate. Of course, whether as a GE or a referendum is a matter for discussion.

So BJ intends, even without a majority, to force through leaving? How and with what consequences? Not honouring the HoC is absolutely diabolical. I'd expect to see the supreme court unable to avoid getting involved.
