It's the sound of no one phoning their MP's and demanding representation... I used to contact mine and ask him all the awkward questions pretty often mate.......gave up in the end, the replies were almost more frustrating that the situations I was asking him about.....left me wanting to strangle the c**t!

Got to agree with you Wilf, used to contact my MP regularly but as you say, the replies were predictable and never responded directly to the actual questions I put to him. Don't bother any more. Local council are just as useless IMO. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was the same, mate, but we're just a drop in the bucket. It reached the point where I just said "F*ck it!" and took all of my money out. It's really none of my business now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 44,332 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 I genuinely beleive you have no choice but to take them clean out of the equation lads......and the more that bypass them, the more effective it will become. Even now, large groups of people ain’t bothering with the government, they are organising their own peaceful protests and getting good number. I think that’s the way forward, you can’t turn a cobra into a pet anymore than you can make your government give a shit about you......make them irrelevant is the way to go. As I said, the more that do it the better it will be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lenmcharristar 9,182 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 the 3rd time in 100 yrs Germany have made a terrible mess of Europe, when it does goes tits up they should be told to stop trying to take over or next time Russia is getting the east back and usa the west, I mean Germany was only united in the late 80s and already they have took over france again but this time without a shot fired and most of Europe too. whats worse is the media blaming right wing type voters and parties isn't that what the Nazis done too? the Nazis were left wing party how the media got it so wrong. the eastern block will be our allies again when it kicks off if you could compare maps of present and during ww2 the same countries standing up to Germany now are the ones who defeated them in the past 2 world wars its like ground hog day happening again and Germany is the root cause but whats worse this time is the Islamic invasion happening too and this time theyre on side with Germany instead of fighting against them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,973 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 The EU has set out its demand for the temporary transition period after the UK leaves in 2019. The EU wants the UK to continue to follow it's rules but not be involved in making decisions! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From my understanding it takes years (normally) for the EU to make new rules and regs so it may not be that much of a big deal but I still feel its a week position to put ourselves in....what the media generally fail to report is just how influential and Important the UK is to the EU we are the crowning jewel make no mistake there's a lot of worried people behind the EU doors its not as one sided as the media like to paint it but one big problem is I think we are not being told "the plan" which makes you think have they actually got a plan? .surely they have ....haven't they its not great for public confidence that the government despretly need at this time more than ever ......in other news may is of to China this week to talk trade so we will see how much she feks that up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,385 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Buzzfeed have got hold of a leaked copy of the government's Brexit impact studies... https://www.buzzfeed.com/amphtml/albertonardelli/the-governments-own-brexit-analysis-says-the-uk-will-be I think this quote sums it up - Asked why the prime minister was not making the analysis public, a DExEU source told BuzzFeed News: "Because it's embarrassing."

I doubt that personally. There is no "balancing" it, either the analysis really does come from leaked government documents or it doesn't.

ChrisJones 7,973 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I think we can agree that there is a lot of speculation but you're right it needs more than one agency offering their analysis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
