It just wasn’t supposed to be like this….for the last few days we’ve been assured by the BBC that when May makes her big Brexit speech the Pound will crash. Well it hasn’t…it’s gone up. How long before we hear of the first business to stop trading because of the high pound caused by, em, Brexit?
Farron…what a prick, to be blunt….the guy is utterly, utterly delusional…..the only ones who want to cut the ‘People’ out of Brexit is Farron himself and the Remainders who want to overturn the most historic and democratic vote this country has had for a long, long time….
The PM’s speech was about an “extreme version of Brexit” says the Liberal Democrat leader.
Farron finished his midday interview with the words “if we leave the EU”. Priceless.
Why does he keep getting airtime? He’s an absolute moron who despises democracy. It wouldn’t be so bad if the BBC also interviewed Brexiteers with the same unquestioning reverence but of course they never do.
I love it when I see him being being interviewed. And I actually think he helps our cause.
I think he quintessentially represents the remainers very well indeed and highlights all the reasons why most people voted “leave” He embodies all of the whining, shrill, privileged, arrogant, naive, callow and all round dickheadness which has naturally aligned itself with remain .
Long may he continue to spout his pathetic verbiage
It may have been said here before, but an anagram of “Tim Farron” is “minor fart”.
Seems quite appropriate just now…
No fan,
He certainly stinks
Yes, a real blow-hard.
Has anyone ever told tiny tim that to have any access to the levers of power tiny tim and his fib-dumbocrat party have to be elected or form a coalition. I do remember the last time the fib-dumbocrats got elected under their last non-entity of a leader who suffered from the same delusions aka nick clegg it did not go to well for the fib-dumbocrats in the 2015 general election. So here in 2017 why appart from the likes of the BBC, Al-Guardian the rest of the lying dying MSM and assorted leftards does tiny tim think anyone is going to treat him and his fib-dumbocrats seriously at the 2020 general election or between now to Brexit and the 2020 general election. I know that I wont and I suspect many millions of other poeple wont either apart from the overpaid undertalented talking heads at the BBC and the rest of the print and broadcast MSM. PS tiny tim why dont you go and ask your predicessor nick clegg {remember him} about Sheffield Forgemasters and students and what they think about the fib-dumbocrats? The answers if nick clegg tells you the truth might give you an idea as to why the fib-dumbocrats got wiped out in the 2015 general election, Here is a clue tiny tim you do what the poeple aka the electorate want not stab them in the back
SOS. Save our Snowflakes. Alan try to be kind to them now. Friday is going to be a day of untold misery for them.
Not just the snowflakes that will be having a day of misery on Friday 20th Jan but the MSM as well looking forward to seeing the BBC’s nose rubbed in it
This is the longest week since referendum week. Just waiting for Trump to get in safely.
I see the President of Gambia has declared a state of emergency to stop his democratically elected opponent taking power. I’m surprised Obama hasn’t tried something similar. Have you ever noticed how the infants of the left are never able to accept defeat. So pathetic, they don’t deserve power no matter what.
Laura Kuenssberg tells us that it is the end of how ‘Britain has earned it’s money for decades’. Wouldn’t her surname be so much sweeter if it had a ‘T’ in it!
Yes, I heard that, could hardly believe my ears, given that over 90% of British business has nothing whatever to do with the continental EU.
If the Lib Dems and Labour carry on behaving as they have been, this country could end up with one party, or maybe two Cons and UKIP.
bBBC Radio 5 Live today. “So that’s the Prime Minister’s speech on Britain leaving the EU. Now we go to talk to customers in a cafe in Brixton, the area that had the largest vote for us to Remain in the EU.”
They can’t help themselves.
Safe space.
The thing that pisses me most off about all of this is the utter selfishness and self delusion of the remainers.
I suspect if they sat down quietly and thought about things logically they would probably one day realise with the EU – unfettered migration, Red tape, Inefficient agricultural/industrial practices and wastage and sheer inertia to change. The EU economies are going one way and that is down the pan.
If we stay within the confines of the EU after a period of being an EU cash cow, eventually our economy too will be locked into the EU death embrace and is likely to be dragged down with them.
In addition all of the things the liberals say they love most about our society and culture such as freedom of speech, justice, emancipation of women, democracy – all are threatened if we continue walking side by side with the EU into its current Kafkaesque future.
I think the remainers are divided into two groups with the likes of Clegg, Timmy and Cameron, Soudbry and Ken Clarke who think they have a God given right to manage the “little people” and therefore wish to keep their influence and privileges at all costs whilst dressing it all up as concern for us, because we dont know how to make decisions on our own.
The remainder appear to me to be people who probably live comfortable lives and think that by voting for remain they reduce the likelihood of their lives changing. This is the EU safe haven lie peddled by the likes of the Clegg/Cameron brigade.
The funniest thing is. Is that despite BBC/MSM attempts to rig the news. They can still see with their own eyes how their “safe haven” is rapidly turning into something not quite so safe and cosy. However their naivity and bovine stupidity seems make them susceptible to believing that the EU represents stability. When in reality the opposite is true.
Despite all the squealing, I am hoping that the Teezer now realises that these quivering lumps of jelly will never be satisfied and therefore she may just as well plough on and continue with the changes needed to make brexit a reality.
Stay or go – changes are certainly coming and at least by coming out of the EU we are in the driving seat with a single destination in sight, rather than being driven around by Claude the drunk taxi driver (of Ubber alles cabs) who it appears only knows how to drive around in circles and inappropriately touch passengers – or at least until he crashes.
Good points all. I cannot understand why anyone would want to be governed by those who they cannot hold to account. It is really that simple but these people just are not made that way it seems. Natural serfs however rich they are.
Davos is on this week. The rich and so called powerful. None of them worth a light and none of them understanding that to be free is worth all the money in the world.
There’s a lovely expression in one of Tom Clancy’s books, which is actually about Japan but seems to me to apply to the EU nowadays. “It’s so far down the shitter they can’t see the paper roll.”
What will Auntie do when her EU money gets stopped,go begging to her relatives for a handout. Mrs May should say its a big world out there go and fend for yourself your global and wise.Bye bye
petebogtrott
“What will Auntie do when her EU money gets stopped” ?
They will go to the EU for their ‘just rewards’.
Auntie will start making programs telling us why the EU got it all so wrong.
EUTV
The BBC should have done its job and done that not only in the runup to the EU/Brexit referendum but for years telling us all about the slieze, corruption, incomptetence and cronyism within the ranks of the EU including EU troughers like juncker, kinnock, mandelson, merkel and all the other piggies at the brussels pigsty. Then there is the money in grants and loans that the EU dished out to state owned broadcasters……….Like the BBC oops to push pro EU propaganda rather than give both sidea of the anti-pro EU so as we could analyise both sides of the argument like reasoning well educated adults we are and then make our own decision as stay in the EU or leave the EU
I don’t think the EU will stop the money, in fact they will probably increase it as long as the BBC keeps up the liberal left propaganda which of course they will. Once we have Brexited the BBC will be tasked with getting us back in or at least a lot closer. How long before the PM realises that if she wants to bring both sides , Leavers and Remainers, together she needs to get rid of the BBC.
Before today I thought Tim Farron was just a mediocre typical bullshit politician, but I have seen him in a different light since May’s Brexit speech. He was hinting that families up and down the country will be economically worse off, what with inflation and the price of goods increasing and everything to do with the inevitable fall in the value of sterling.
Was Farron paying attention to ANYTHING in 2016? Has he not learnt anything from last year? Or is it just that his economically illiterate mind can only gamble on cynical political point scoring, hoping that when he is – inevitably – proven wrong he can simply hide under the insignificant Liberal Democrat bush until everyone forgets what he said, and then emerge again at the next key moment in history.
I thought Corbyn was bad enough, but Farron takes the biscuit.

“I thought Corbyn was bad enough, but Farron takes the biscuit.”
Yep Farley’s Rusks 😉
Fallon called it a “theft of democracy ” The whole EU construct is a theft of democracy. What don’t these democratically elected politicians get about it ?
Sir Keir Starmer tells LBC we need compromise .No thanks ! that way lies more EU rules.
Meanwhile ,there’s a new EU President being installed that none of us got to vote for.
I must admit I have avoided the BBC analysis ,but its just as bad elsewhere.
It comes to something when people start avoiding the state broadcaster that they have to pay for on threat of imprisonment.
Fallon called it a “theft of democracy ” The whole EU construct is a theft of democracy. What don’t these democratically elected politicians get about it ?
Oh, I think he does get it. He thinks the electorate is stupid and will believe his lies – because that is what they are. If the BBC were in any way impartial it would challenge him with the very obvious fact that the EU is the exact opposite of what he claims. But they aren’t, so they don’t.
The responses to the Newsnight feed after its ‘analysis’ are good value, too.
Latvian ambassador, is that the best they could do?
Her chauffeur was busy polishing the Lada, WB.
It clashed with Diane Abbott’s feeding time.
And you don’t want to get between Diane and the trough, believe me.
As Louise Minchin was giving David Davis a hard time on the May , Brexit speech in her own
inimitable facetious way on the breakfast programme on the BBC , it reminded me of her sarcastic tones years ago on the ” Drivetime” programme on the radio with her co -presenter Peter Allen.
There had been a blizzard in North London , and do I mean a blizzard ,not just like the few flakes, when we are told because of ” Michael Fish Syndrome” that we are going to endure a climatic disaster. My wife had phoned and told me that she was stuck in Totteridge Lane in a foot of snow.
Just then then Peter Allen and his fellow presenter the “Munchkin ” women started to make fun of the whole weather situation. I E Mailed the BBC and suggested that Peter Allen thought he was Dave Allen and all his sidekick was capable of, was telling drivers to follow the Yellow Brick Road.
If you know how Louise Minchin reacts to having to sit on the right hand seat in the studio,you will not be surprised that what most offended her when my comments were read out,
was the term sidekick. I should of written side hack.
Never mind Pienaar, Stormin’ Norman, the BBC’s assistant political editor, continually shows his political biases, clear and simple. On Radio 4 News this morning, he described May’s speech as ‘uncompromising’. Thats the one thing it isn’t. May has, in her opening gambit, decided not to try to negotiate both free movement and some kind of membership of the Single Market. Thats something Cameron never had the guts to do. Its thereby avoiding a lot of unpleasant spats with the EU and is a huge compromise. Wake up Mr Smith!
Donald Tusk describes May’s speech as ‘realistic’. Would he say that if it was also ‘uncompromising’?
Smith was born in Kensington, went to a posh public school. then Oxbridge. In another era he would have been right wing, patriotic and suspicious of ‘the foreigner’. Instead, he’s a fully paid up member of the left-liberal, Britain-hating establishment who, until June 23 2016, thought they ran this country without challenge. Being inside the BBC bubble since 1986 hasn’t helped him either.
Perhaps we should have sympathy for Farron………and many at the bBC…….
who , in light of the excellent Brexit speech, may have located their cilice and attached it.
mind you , Farron has probably strung his to the last notch and could quite possibly lose A LIMB………..even before Article 50 is triggered.
Since Ms May’s speech, I think I have hardly heard a single BBC report on the matter which fails to describe her final point…..i.e. ‘if we can’t get a decent deal, then we’re prepared to walk away’…… as, variously, ‘threatening’, ‘bullying’, ‘antagonistic’, etc….. i.e. almost a ‘pick your negative adjective and apply it here’ philosophy from our tax-dependent mainstream media player.
What none of them says is that Ms May has simply expressed the view that if the EU behaves in a malevolent way towards the UK (and quite a few EU leaders have already expressed their desire to do so) then the UK reserves the right to behave in our own best interests, and we will not kow-tow to any punitive behaviour from EU leaders. And so we’re the bad guys ? The precondition in her speech was that the EU would have struck the first blow – and the BBC thinks we should just suck it up, and any self-defence is ‘threatening’?
This tells you all you need to know about the so-called ‘British’ Broadcasting Company.
Spot on. The BBC is not one bit interested in Britain’s success as it sees itself as a world broadcaster and its employees see themselves as ‘citizens of the world’.
As Barroso once described the EU as ‘the blueprint for a future world government’ the BBC can’t let itself stand idly by and watch the project fail.
The reason the anti-British extremists, like Farron, call for “soft brexit” is that when people, who will still be suffering from immigration and the other EU policies, will then find the nominal bit of influence we were supposed to have within the EU totally evaporated. Scum like Tiny Tim will then blame Brexit even though we all know “soft brexit” is not Brexit in any meaningful way. It’s a very spiteful attempt to put two fingers up to the British people and show the total contempt for democracy the left hold.
Farron, like Clegg, Corbyn and others (including the BBC) is an open borders Internationalist. That’s his motivation.
My old mate calls the Liberal Democrats the Illiberal Autocrats.
I reckon he has got them summed up.
“Illiberal Autocrats”
I had a run-in with two of them at a bus stop last night. (One I see regularly there)
Both sneering down their sanctimonious noses at Farage & Trump. I interjected that I liked Nigel. The conditioned response followed with the the required look of shocked outrage and accusations that Farage was “against immigration”. I suggested that it can’t be taken for granted that immigration is always a positive thing & that mass uncontrolled migration was a detriment to the country. Nigel is right to highlight this very real problem. He isn’t a criminal I said. “No no, he’s a hateful man!” He’s hateful? I asked. He’s had death threats & his family has been threatened with violence. Perhaps you should be directing your outrage at that? I said. I just hit the brick-wall of liberal self-righteous snobbery after that.
It’s hard to get past the brainwashing.
I could tell by the things they were saying that their opinions were derived from the constant media-babble we are all subjected to daily. Honestly, they are like sheep. I suggested they should listen to a Farage or Trump speech in it’s entirety before judging & perhaps the carefully edited snippets might be contrived to promote a false impression. How does that old saying go? It’s like talking to a WALL! Grrr!
Lucy,they don’t sound like they are at all rational as people, ignorant is a better way of describing them. It’s almost sad that they get to vote. But that’s democracy.
Well done to sticking to your guns though. Far too often these people feel justified in stating the BBC opinions without any factual understanding or evidence of what they are talking about.
Farage wants a controlled immigration. Certainly not the open door immigration that both Labour and Conservatives have been guilty of implementing over the past years.
In fairness to Theresa May, she does now seem to be following the UKIP policy on immigration.Controlled. Possible only because of our departure from the EU.
Labour would still open the doors to immigrants at the expense of it’s indigenous people!
The Liberal Party opinions don’t count, as they are opposed to anything resembling democracy and are therefore an irrelevance in political terms IMO.
Final thought Lucy, steer clear of Nando’s.(Not that I have ever frequented one). They have posters which are anti Trump. They like to exploit cheap,young labour.
Wetherspoons is a better bet. It’s pro Brexit.-A better class of people.

There was a time when ‘Liberalism’ was altruistic to a degree, now it is on a par with communism / fascism ( two sides of the same coin ).
It can be mixed up with Libertarian ( which they most definitely are not now )which is what I am, in that I believe in small government /small state, absolute freedom of liberty to do or say as I wish without hindrance from government and it’s authorities, so long as I do not promote violence and I act within just laws that apply equally to all regardless of race colour or sexuality.
Not much to ask really is it!
Liberalism is a kind of mental disorder.
I agree with your definition of libertarianism but would add one more constraint, My freedom to do as I please stops at the point where it would infringe the next person’s freedom.
A silly little example: when I was a kid you would go places to enjoy a walk or a picnic then someone would come along with a transistor radio blaring loudly. Their freedom to listen to their radio should end at the level where other peoples’ wishes for peace and quiet isn’t infringed

You are of course right I didn’t mention it because I didn’t think about it! as that comes for me being civil and respectful to others right to not be hindered by my actions.
The BBC will regroup and double down ,they always do.With the Supreme Court judgement next week I’m sure they are already planning the lines to take when the judges go against true democracy as they surely will.Maximum pressure will again be applied to Mrs May to get Article 50 voted through.
My Labour MP is anti EU but you would hardly know it ,he keeps a very low profile .No spine, like many of them ,just coasting.i never see him on the BBC in fact I cannot remember him ever making a speech in Parliament.
