It's possible.
None of this would happen under Comrade Corbyn's leadership or on his watch?
I am sick to the back teeth of the needless loss of innocent lives and injuries and sick to death now of political opportunists, there are plenty of fingers that could be pointed in the direction of the Labour party no matter how old/new this lot want to be.

Re: Manchester Arena
I don't really understand any of these arguments. Rational people can only react with horror about these atrocities whether they are politicians or ordinary folk. Sure, some politicians handle things better than others, but they are all horrified. The London tower seem to me to be terror by neglect, and surely more people died there than in London Bridge, Manchester Arena and Finsbury put together. These are terrible events and the guilty (if alive) should pay the legal penalty, but should we really blame May because she doesn't react as well as Corbyn? They all hate these events equally, as do we all.

Actually (and I think you will like this), I reckon May and co will stitch us up like kippers in these negotiations. It would seem there are far more wimps out there than can be imagined, frightened of their own shadow seeking safe spaces, I recommend they learn German, fast!
At least at my age I probably will not be around when Deutschland Uber Alles is our national anthem.

Seriously though, I reckon if I looked hard enough, I could find the odd post that might have mentioned there wasn't much detail on what "out" looked like. This was met with derision (mainly by you) as it was announced as being "Red, White and Blue" - look at all the detail there.
Yesterday, there was a bloke on the radio who voted out, who just spotted that a significant proportion of his entire business was reliant on seasonal (predominantly Romanian) labour and it could be out of business in two years. You couldn't make it up.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/po ... 02381.html
As the politically intelligent group (rather than the snowflakes) I sorta assumed that there was some cunning plan, but you just hadn't told us what it was, because no one could be that fcuking stupid to vote for nothing - especially not our wise old owls. Now I find, actually there was no fcking plan at all. I'm stunned and surprised. I'd at least be expecting a month by month breakdown on how the NHS was going to get it's £350m a week. But no, I find that actually no one knows what the feck the outcome will look like, because it wasn't actually written down anywhere. So like 12 months ago, it's all in peoples heads and is now being interpreted by others.
At least we got off to a great start given we hold all the cards and the "row of the summer" over the negotiating timetable was an absolute pot-boiler as we caved in, in around 30 minutes on the negotiating timetable. (I made the 30 minutes bit up, but I don't care). This is apparently "entirely consistent with our long term negotiating position" - that's gotta be a worry, we have a long term negotiating position of "cave in?" - although the month prior it was "totally illogical". Maybe they cut us some slack over the exit bill - which is going to be zero according to the bullish. That'll be it, aye.

One year on it's striking that no-one is arguing leaving will be good anymore, instead we're going to make the least shit exit possible.

Re: Manchester Arena
Meanwhile, whilst we're flunking Brexit, we have the perfect economic storm brewing. Rising inflation and shrinking wages. Allied against a backdrop of an economy only just about staying out of recession, primarily because of consumer spending.
You don't need to be an economic 'expert' to know where this is heading.

Re: Manchester Arena
As I've mentioned several times to anyone that'd listen (and a few others), in the weeks leading up to the referendum I listened to Lord Mervyn King being interviewed and even he, one of our cleverest clogs, said that he hadn't a bloody clue as to what might happen if Britain voted out, but white van man seems to think he has it taped.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Fri Jun 23, 2017 10:27 amAs the politically intelligent group (rather than the snowflakes) I sorta assumed that there was some cunning plan, but you just hadn't told us what it was, because no one could be that fcuking stupid to vote for nothing - especially not our wise old owls.
We will regret this decision for the rest of our lives. I should also point out that on Wednesday this week it was announced that we are to close our Bury site in Q4 18 with production being shifted to Germany at the cost of 30 jobs.
Well done Britain.

Re: Manchester Arena
Is it any wonder though? I watched QT last night. There was that odious Oborne bloke from the Daily Mail. He got a round of applause from half the audience for arguing that Britain should stop spending and "live within its means". That is the quality of argument presented. Reducing a national economy down to a household fecking budget. And people lap it up. A know-nowt bloke giving trite economic one-liners out is seen by some in this country as "authoritative".Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Fri Jun 23, 2017 11:22 amAs I've mentioned several times to anyone that'd listen (and a few others), in the weeks leading up to the referendum I listened to Lord Mervyn King being interviewed and even he, one of our cleverest clogs, said that he hadn't a bloody clue as to what might happen if Britain voted out, but white van man seems to think he has it taped.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Fri Jun 23, 2017 10:27 amAs the politically intelligent group (rather than the snowflakes) I sorta assumed that there was some cunning plan, but you just hadn't told us what it was, because no one could be that fcuking stupid to vote for nothing - especially not our wise old owls.
