If memory serves me right, wasn't the expression 'oven-ready' used repeatedly during the Conservative's last election campaign to convince people that Boris and his crack team of negotiators had this whole Brexit thing sorted?
The were either deluded or outright liars. Still, the majority believed them and that's what matters.... ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

Did they? Are you sure?
I don't think many were deluded that leaving the EU would be an easy path to take, but that's not the point. Do you want to start into the arguments again? What will we achieve this time around? We're out. We can sit and complain and let things go to the dogs, or we can work to make the best of it. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Fair enough. I merely wanted to point out another of Boris's election lies... ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

The thing about BoJo is that he is teflon and he knows it. I don't know why he couldn't have just been honest last time around and said:
'Vote for me - I haven't got a clue so I'll bumble from crisis to crisis until someone better comes along and I get my knighthood.'
If he'd said that, he may have gotten even more seats for honesty... ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

So vote labour in the next GE...if you dare!
But are you seriously asking for honesty from a politician?! Oh my, that is a hoot! Who out of our esteemed political class would you expect this from in place of Boris? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I can't imagine anyone in the current crop being more regularly, blatantly dishonest, so by that token anyone will do....

We were specifically told that it would be a difficult process, in government literature referenced by the Referendum Leaflet we were all given
However, this is just raking over old ashes. The decision was made, we are fully and completely out of the eu and all its institutions, transition will end in just over 5 months, and we cannot undo the process. The only way back would be to re-apply to join from scratch, negotiate terms, and have a referendum on joining (which we neve have had before). All most unlikely for the foreseeable future.
So, as you say, and I agree strongly, whining and moaning's counterproductive, and we all need to work to make the best of it.. |

I do NOT like lisa nandy. I used to. What changed my mind?
Before the general election, in 2019, she voted in favour of the EU (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill, citing her constituent's views.
After the election, when it became plain that there would be a labour leadership contest, she decided to be a contender, and voted against the EU (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill.
Anyway, that is all in the past, too. |

"Ministers are working on the assumption that there will not be a deal, although it may be possible for a “basic” agreement to be reached"
I was under the impression that had always been the case.
Any deal can be oven ready but that doesn't matter if the EU don't want to play ball.
Fuck 'em. |
