5 years is a long time, and you can bet that people who didn't vote are going to complain about what the party in power has done.


5 years is a lot shorter than forever.

And of course people will moan, we live in a free country and everyone has the right to moan about anything they want to moan about. A Labour supporter that doesn’t bother voting in an election still has the right to moan about the Tories.

Labmoaners gotta labmoan.

I think Karl’s point was that it makes it bloody hard for him to deal with the troll if everyone is calling the troll a banana split. Give the troll enough rope to hang himself.

I wonder how many people in the 30s were told “let’s hope for the best with Hitler, wanting his leadership to fail is just asking for us all to have lower living standards”. ;)

Probably exactly the same amount who thought "I can't take the bombing anymore, let's just give up rather than making a change".

Yes you are right, it's a terrible thing to be looking out for the vulnerable in society when we should all just be thinking about ourselves :lol:

Business Insider wrote: Berenberg Bank, one of the oldest investment banks in the world, wrote a report for clients ahead of the trigger on how Brexit talks are likely to shape up. In it, the bank posed and answered the question: "Does Brexit create any opportunities for the UK?"

The answer is pretty simple — no. There's nothing that will provide a major positive effect on Britain's economy in the long term.


Getting pretty sick of these experts :x

Don’t be silly Karl. We will end up as a tax haven. Tax havens are hot and sunny (like the Cayman Islands). Britain will therefore get better weather. Better weather will bring in tourists who want to soak up the sun in Weston-Super-Mare. Tourists have cash. Britain is rich.

And all of that is far more likely to happen than £350million extra per week for the NHS. :slol:

I think anyone claiming "no opportunities at all" is certainly taking an unbiased approach.

Looking out for the vulnerable in society has really worked while in the EU. Unless of course looking after the EU and not the UK is your game.

The Beebs article on the Brexit negotiators is an interesting read.

And Yungstar, I think you'll find that the UK parliament/government has inflicted more damage on the vulnerable than the EU could ever hope to achieve. Cuts to benefits, mental health services, neglect of various areas in England to name just a few of things that have been implemented or not even addressed.

Go on then, show us how the UK will better look after the vulnerable once we're out of the EU.

Tories are running the NHS into the ground and trying to remove us from the Bill of Human Rights knowing full well they've done harsh austerity before and making things worse for the sick and poor. For example woman with terminal cancer declared fit to work.

Yeah, sure is going to get better without the EU actually stopping the tories from going full banana spliting.

We want to back a strong EU, buttressed by a strong UK, with a new relationship, a deep and special partnership, between the EU and the UK.And I’ve absolutely no doubt we can make it work. I think we’re going to have a very successful negotiation and it’s in the interests of both sides to have a win-win outcome."


YOU MEAN WHAT WE ALREADY HAD?

I remember a time when things were decided by intelligence, but not anymore.

UKIP's Deputy Chair Suzanne Evans has told BBC Radio 5 live's Emma Barnett that "skilled up" British citizens could replace migrant workers.

The UKIP politician said: “Seventy percent of people in this country want immigration to fall. What about training people in our own country? Let's be more optimistic and just skill up our own.”


Wait... what? Where did that figure come from? Stop pulling figures out of your arse.

Why are we even giving this party air time anymore? They have no MPs in Parliament.
