    Watching politics live I’m hearing that anything May and Corbyn come up with will be a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ and can be ignored by her successor.
    We need the likes of Boris, JRM and other leavers to say they will disregard anything the pair come up with when a Brexiteer takes over from May thus scuppering this latest betrayal attempt by our ‘honourables’

      If you are hearing it on main stream media , it’s probably a lie,
      Mays deal had plenty of small print, stopping future changes, no reason any other arrangement should be different

    If Corbyn doesn’t agree with May this afternoon will she take his mobile phone off him and make him walk home.

    Once again the bbbc fails to highlight the duplicity of the swamp dwellers. Mrs Chamberlain was manipulated into position as PM by establishment sleight of hand and has proceeded, with the assistance of the “wets” (now there’s a word that was once often used but is never heard on the bbbc these days) in her party, to deliberately thwart the will of the electorate. Those who oppose her are labelled as “hard-liners” and “bigots” (and everything in between) and the bbbc does nothing to equalise that narrative.

    We now have the spectacle of a PM who would rather consult the opinion of a Marxist than that of her own party and DUP partners. This is either a deliberate ploy to shaft us all (as I and many others on here have observed many time previously) or just rank stupidity.

    I’ve been watching her behaviour and mannerisms closely recently and, when added to the observations of commentators and other MPs about her coldness, lack of emotional intelligence and inability to communicate with others, it really wouldn’t surprise me if she is somewhere on the spectrum. The general lack of any kind of spark in her eyes, the squirmingly embarrassing “dancing queen” entrance at the last conference, her seeming inability to choose her advisors wisely and the complete absence of any kind of political or human instinct for filtering out the obviously piss poor advice she keeps getting would seem to bear that out.

    Either way, I think the time has come for the ERG and DUP to go to Corbyn and offer their support in a vote of no-confidence. I expect that, after last night’s developments, the line has been crossed for a great many rank and file conservative members. The boil needs to be lanced and lanced quickly before she can do any more damage to the country and her party.

    Maybe a leadership contest would be seen by the EU as something significant to allow a delay in the exit date – if not then who cares? We “crash out” over the “cliff edge” on 22 May.

    Either way, the conservative party has forever lost the support of this once loyal supporter. I am 52 years old and have never voted for anything other than the conservative candidate but will never do so again. I suspect there are millions like me.

    People are incredibly angry and if a General Election can be engineered within the next few months I suspect that both main parties will get decimated – provided always that UKIP and the Brexit party can find a way of not splitting the Brexit vote.

      I dislike May as much as anyone , but you have to hand it to her and whoever pulls her strings – as we are still in the EU today..

      Though that wasn’t hard to forsee, the week after brexit vote countries were queuing up to sign trade deals, for when we left the EU, all were totally ignored.
      Though, at least that saved our embarassment at having to cancel all those deals 2 years later..

    ‘Transgender woman humiliated in Paris attack’

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-47799288

    Can you guess who the attackers were?

    Here are a couple of snippets;

    Julia later made clear that the attack had nothing to do with the Algerian community but was carried out by ignorant people, regardless of their origin or religion.

    Transport police then intervened and led the victim to safety. However, French group Stop Homophobie said the transport officers had called her “Monsieur” and told her “not to dress like that”.

    So the muslim attackers are fine but how dare those bigoted police call him/her monsieur. The outrage!

    I beginning to think that being from the left is a mental illness.

    Time for a change in the Calendar.
    January, February, March, April, Traitor, June, July.


    the Battle of France is over … the Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian
    civilisation. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire.
    The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island
    or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be freed and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands.

    But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for,
    will sink into the abyss of a new dark age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.
    Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves, that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth[e] last for a thousand years, men will still say, “This was their finest hour.”

    Time for us to attack our enemies, not with the keyboard.
    Enemies who are more dangerous than Hitler, who wanted an alliance with Britain.
    Tommy Robinson receives insufficient praise on this site as almost everywhere.
    Tommy is worth more than all the keyboard warriors in the UK.

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/eus-juncker-no-more-short-brexit-delays-unless-124103384.html
    By Gabriela Baczynska and Jan Strupczewski
    Reuters•April 03, 2019

    BRUSSELS (Reuters) – “The European Union will not grant Britain another short delay to Brexit if UK lawmakers fail to ratify the stalled divorce agreement by April 12, the head of the bloc’s executive European Commission,
    Jean-Claude Juncker, said on Wednesday.”

    That will be just fine, you hateful sot. And boy do I hate him.
    Brexit is our priority, but what thse EU ****s are trying to do to us, they have already done to other states.
    They cheat and lie, as our “negotiations” to date, testify.

    There is great concern, allegedly, for the well being of EU citizens in the UK.
    Which I do not share, anyone who believes they are a citizen of the EU should leave before we throw them out.
    People who believe they are Polish first, European second and hate the EU are, however, welcome.
    Ditto other sovereign European states.

    Having left the EU, the UK could start a Common Market.

      You are aware that Nigel Farage actually asked Junker to refuse to give an extension? It’s the best outcome any Brexiteer could hope for.

      Don’t blame Barnier for being an ace at negotiations, and getting a great deal for his side, instead blame Marxist May and her no mark federalist Olly Robbins who failed to negotiate properly.

      As Farage noted the EU have prepared themselves in a very professional manner for a WTO Brexit, Mays excuse of a government has done what they do best – nothing.

        Thoughtful, those clever negotiators at the EU offered David Cameron next to nothing and when Britain voted Leave, they wrung their hands and said “Oh, we didn’t want you to leave.”

        Those clever negotiators at the EU enforced an unfavourable deal on our PM and when it fell three times when it came before Parliament, they wrung their hands and said “It’s the best we can do. It’s your fault, there’s a special place in hell for MPs who had not negotiated the deal but merely voted on it.”

        That all strikes me as the EU being dumb and dumber.

    The global slave trade of old was pretty disturbing.
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-47791828
    “Last survivor of US slave ships discovered”

    This report tells the story of Sally Smith, a slave who for some reason stayed on the plantation for over 70 years after slavery was abolished.

    But this is the BBC, so

    Line 1 states
    “Sally Smith was kidnapped from West Africa by slave traders and lived until 1937 in Alabama, staying for more than 70 years on the plantation where she had been enslaved.”

    The impression is American slave traders ventured into West Africa and kidnapped the girl.

    Again, line 5 virtually repeats the same thing
    “The woman, who was named Sally Smith in the US but had originally been called Redoshi, was kidnapped by slave traders in 1860 from a village in what is now Benin.”

    OK, we get it. You repeated the same line twice just in case I missed the first time.
    It goes on for quite some time, then 3rd line from the bottom

    “Redoshi’s stories recorded living a peaceful life before being seized by members of another local tribe and brought to slave traders.”

    So, other West Africans kidnapped her, and sold her to slave traders. She wasn’t kidnapped FROM West Africa by slave traders as stated in line 1, she was kidnapped IN West Africa by West African slave traders.

    Being anti-western & anti-white makes it nigh on impossible for the BBC to fulfill it’s requirements to be objective, educational, etc.

    Just watch the blonde harriden who starts this clip in a debate with Nigel Farrage, note the sheer hate and revulsion in her, similar to the Fascist left in the US against Donald Trump.

    Her name is Barbara Want and I’m sure it will come as no surprise to learn that she is ex BBC. In fact she was a producer of Panorama married to Nick Clarke, another BBC apparatchik who sadly died of cancer at their Kensington home (they’re so badly paid!).

    Check out the comments as to what people feel about her though as well as listening.

    Hi all, not sure why I do it, but I do watch BBC and listen to Radio 4 / 5 purely to identify the bias they show, therefore missing out on other things in life! I have just spent two hours listening to 5 Live who have interviewed many individuals / MPs and NOT one was from the Leave / Brexit side of the debate (not forgetting the 52/48 split of the referendum result). Indeed the establishment and media as well as Parliament keep pushing further away from Brexit, it seems to be getting harder and harder to get any Brexit dialogue to be heard. it would be extremely entertaining if it wasn’t so serious!

    Just listening the BBC being sympathetic towards MPs who are now stressed by it all; bloody hell, what about the 17.4m who are stressed to hell by the process!

    Any suggestions as what can be done, as this seems to have gone well beyond bias and is now the mainstream.

    A throwaway line in today’s DM article about Hitler’s last moments:

    “The pilot added: ‘I tried to persuade Hitler that there were still planes available, and that I could get him away to Japan or the Argentine, or to one of the Sheiks, who were all very friendly to him on account of his attitude to the Jews.”

    But as I get all my news and views from al beeb, I don’t understand.

    Why would muslim Sheikhs approve of Hitler’s mass extermination of Jews?

    Al beeb never ceases to tell me that islam is a religion of peace and in no-way anti-Semitic (despite an abundance of koranic verses to the contrary, some calling them apes and pigs).

    Or if, very occasionally, muslims are a teeny-weeny bit unfriendly to Jews, it’s all because of Israel’s policies in Palestine – see?

    But when Hitler’s pilot spoke those words in 1945, there was as yet no State of Israel, yet the muslim Sheikhs already approved of his ‘attitude’.
    Namely mass extermination, which was already widely known about by the end of the war.

    Isn’t history baffling?

      There was at that time plenty of talk about the establishment of the State of Israel.
      Check out Haj Amin Al Husseini Hitlers Islamic mentor – Hitler might even have converted to Islam, but Al Husseini was the go between of the Arabs / Nazi state and recruited over 50 000 Muslims to the SS. That’s not the ordinary army it’s the most fanatical anti semitic group. The Nazi’s even produced Halal ration packs for them.

        These were the most brutal killers of the Holocaust.
        The Ustasha of Yugoslavia was a Muslim-Catholic alliance of Nazi killers so beastly that even Nazi officials in Berlin were horrified. The Ustasha and three related crack divisions of Arab-Nazi Waffen SS comprised of tens of thousands of Muslim volunteers and terrorized people of all faiths in Yugoslavia.
        In large measure, these murder machines emerged through the efforts of the grand mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husseini.

        The grand mufti was on a mission to accelerate the extermination of all Jews everywhere. His partner was Adolf Hitler. The epic story of this alliance is one that began in Jerusalem, traveled to Baghdad, culminated in the Balkans, and ultimately spread across all Europe

    Like Burgsey, I try every now and then to listen to R4 (Toady etc.) and World Service radio (just to keep an “ear” on the rubbish and lies they are spreading) but over and over again find myself turning off in disgust (rather than chucking my PC out of the window).
    To make my own mind up about what the MPs are saying, I’ve started having Parliament Live on in the background and this afternoon I heard some quite interesting speeches damning the next hastily passed, constitutionally completely irregular Letwin bill (? which is to be voted on tonight, I think) and some incredibly awful moaning and groaning from the Remainers / SNP & Co. going on about us falling off a cliff and wrecking the future of everone in business etc.

    I have just received an email from Reignite for a (further?) petition to demand a „No Deal Brexit NOW!“:

    „Over 200,000 people have already signed demanding a No Deal Brexit.
    Theresa May is tapping up Jeremy Corbyn to help her push through a SOFT Brexit.
    Meanwhile the FAKE NEWS media is peddling the myth that Brexit is losing support.
    We know that isn’t true – but they continue to report fake figures on the People’s Vote march and Revoke Article 50 petition.
    We need to fight back and ensure our voices are being heard.
    The more people that add their name, the louder our voice.“

    Don’t know if anyone would be interested in signing it so I’ll put the link here (if that is allowed?)

      At the risk of repeating myself, for which I apologise, Mrs May is only the first among equals in the cabinet. So, if it’s true that the majority of these fellow equals think we should just Leave the EU on WTO terms, why on earth don’t they exercise the power which we have vested in them, tell her to shut up and do as she is. told or just sideline her and run their little club by force of the majority.

      But they won’t put their soft little heads above the parapet for fear of it being lopped off.

      Just one man from that nest of swamp rats brave enough to state the bleeding obvious to her would strip her of her power because all the sheep would then follow him ( to mix metaphors or something ).

        currently being debated – according to BBBc:
        “At the committee stage of a bill, MPs are allowed to table and debate amendments to it.

        Here is a brief rundown of the amendments that have been tabled to tonight’s bill:

        13 & 14 – tabled by Labour’s Yvette Cooper: This is a simple re-drafting of parts of the bill
        20 – tabled by Tory MP George Eustice: Limits the extension to 30 June
        21 – tabled by Tory MP George Eustice: Takes out the requirement for the prime minister to put the EU’s chosen extension date to MPs
        22 – tabled by Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay: Ensures that nothing in this bill rules out the government extending Article 50 in a different way
        1 – tabled by Tory MP Anne Main: Limits the government to a 22 May extension
        6 – tabled by Tory MP Sir Bill Cash: Ensures the extension is subject to approval by the devolved bodies
        New Clause 4 – tabled by Tory MP Sir Bill Cash: Prevents amendments to standing orders during these extension motions – standing orders are the rules that govern the proceedings of Parliament
        New Clause 5 – tabled by Tory MP Sir Bill Cash: Limits an extension to 22 May
        New Clause 7 – tabled by Tory MP Sir Bill Cash: Ensures that an extension would not result in the UK taking part in elections to the European Parliament
        New Clause 13 – tabled by Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay: Amends the EU Withdrawal Act to make it easier to change the exit date in UK law”

The Deep Sea Fleet numbers dwindled due to loss of access to Icelandic Waters and are a completely seperate issue…. One last thing it is estimated that for every fisherman who went to sea approx. 8/10 workers were employed onshore in the associated industries of fishing….. each boat on average employed a skipper, engineer/mate and two deckies…. add their number to the onshore workers and you have a fair idea of just how many people lost their livliehoods due to the CAP….

    And yet, our historic democratic vote of only 52% lacked said legitimacy as it needed a much larger consensus to be truly reflective.

      If the Cooper Bill gets a third reading tonight and gets through, does it not become Law? The lawyers will pick over it to see if it has any flaws (Anne Main MP thinks so) and may try for a High Court application but it means effectively Brexit is lost. We all become £40bn poorer in May or whenever whatever deal gets through Parliament for a BRINO.

      It will be interesting if Labour MPs voted for it after telling us so often that “No-one voted to become poorer.”

The BBC always want to overstate the beastliness of the pre-Jenkins era. It was not illegal to be a homosexual. Homosexual acts carried out in private were not prosecuted, the police didn’t break down people’s doors on the suspicion of homosexual acts taking place. It as only homosexual acts occurring in public that were prosecuted, as were heterosexual acts (though perhaps they had to be more explicit). The BBC just has to pander to gays as victims.

    This Cooper bill that is being debated really is a disgrace. What country do we live in where some money grabbing, self serving, deceitful demagogues can cast into law the removal of a fundamental part of a negotiation – i.e. that of the ability to walk away.

    What next, every MP can never be sacked or deselected or voted. You just have to wait for them to resign. It’s utter madness.

    These disgusting cretins need to be stripped of their roles before they elect themselves jobs for life. They make me sick and furious to my core.

    But what am I saying, laws passed in parliament mean jack shit because we’ve already sailed past one that was voted through two years ago and no one gives a flying **** about that.

      Elections for the ReichEU parliament will also be a huge opportunity for brexiters to give Brussels a nose bleed
