Creative Midfielder 1,996 Posted June 7, 2020 1 hour ago, SwindonCanary said: 27% of Britons think Boris Johnson is trustworthy. Wow 😂🤣 But then if we compare him with a real Prime Minister, you know the intelligent and competent sort of Prime Minister who can show real leadership in a crisis - 88% of New Zealanders think Jacinda Arden is trustworthy!!!!

Surfer 1,547 Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) 19 minutes ago, SwindonCanary said: Thank you for confirming the election result. On a voting basis, the Tories obtained s PLURALITY i.e the largest block of votes, but they did not quite establish a MAJORiTY, i.e did not get more than 50%, so the simple fact is they were voted in by a MINORITY of the voters. Now FPTP has translated that MINORITY vote into a substantial parliamentary MAJORITY., it’s a feature of how our electoral system works. Unfortunately in this situation, we have a new problem in that it is very clear that the current government has fraudulently lied to obtain power, Witness the Sunday Express headline today re Boris seeking to change the “unfair” agreement he told the voters was “oven ready”’ , This kind of reckless contempt for democratic norms cannot be allowed to stand. Politics is not just about obtaining power, it is about implementing and administering policies you stated you will carry out to the best of your abilities. We are not a dictatorship (yet) - this BS must stop, right now. Or follow the US into years of turmoil and ruin to our international standing.

Bill 1,788 Posted June 7, 2020 As Surfer points out, the lie fed to the gormless was that this was now all sorted and all they had to do was vote Tory and the matter would be over. Just pray that the liar does not put out a similar lie about the virus. Whereas the UK had agreed to much that previously was thought to be unacceptable, so as to use it to snatch an election win. The plan now is to try to blame the EU for the UK not sticking to the agreement it signed up to. The EU acted in good faith, whereas Johnson and his pack of liars knew full well they could not deliver on what they had agreed to. Hence it now all falling apart. There is neither the time to build the infrastructure needed by Dec 31st, nor the time or ability to recruit and train around 50,000 new customs staff. Or maybe they will re-employ all the ones they have sacked over the years...as with the nurses - who we are still waiting for the missing 50,000. However the biggest irony and lesson to dimwitted brexiteers is that the only chance of finding that number of customs staff will be to recruit EU citizens....who we assume will have to go back over the channel every night !

Surfer 1,547 Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) More than a shambles Bill. It’s a crisis of major proportions when a government only cares about itself and not the people it was voted in by. A classic Fascist / Communist ploy of “you voted for us, now we will tell you what it is you voted for” It’s a long road back from there. Here in the US I think we will be able to correct things in November, but it could yet be a close run thing as one party loves power more than democracy and will do anything it can to suppress the vote. it’s why I am so worried for the UK, it’s following the US pattern so closely. I see the same contempt for truth, the courts, parliamentary processes as here - and for who’s benefit? Slogans like Make America Great Again and Get Brexit Done to grab loyalty from a passionate and upset block of the voters, but to what specific agenda? This needs to get sorted out pronto by the combined weight of public opinion, press and members of parliament. Maybe the Queen can offer up a little moral authority around being a leader means telling the truth too. p.s. where is the Russia report? It’s relevant....

What a fcking shambles 🙄 Sorry been watching the 1966 world cup again, same result ! But I have to disagree with you saying the UK not sticking to the agreement, I take it you are on about the 'Brexit withdrawal agreement', agreed by both party's before the talks started. It was never law and never signed. So can be changed when ever which is what we have been doing, after all it was written by the EU ! Please read up on it and it will prove I'm right.

You have to prove this is correct. TheEuropean Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 received Royal Assent on 23rd Jan 2020, that makes it lawful. The Act legislates for the following: Provides (introducing a saving) that most provisions (certain provisions which were not repealed with immediate effect) of the 1972 European Communities Act will remain in full legal force and effect, as if they were not yet and never repealed, during an Implementation period to last until (by default) 31 December 2020, notwithstanding of the (supposed) repeal of the whole Act by the automatic operation of Section 1 (came into force on 17 August 2019) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 on 31 January 2020 at 11:00pm[6] Enshrines the Withdrawal Agreement between the UK and the EU in domestic law including any financial settlement and agreement on citizens' rights[1] Makes provisions for changes to EU law to be legally binding in the UK during the implementation period (after the UK has left the EU). Makes provisions for Parliamentary scrutiny and oversight of the process by primary legislation, instead of secondary legislation under the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill.

Surfer 1,547 Posted June 7, 2020 ..... if it is indeed law, then there must be ground law for a law suite, Unless of Courts say that until there has been a material breach and therefore material harm, they cannot rule, which of course by then is too late. So it’s up to the public, press and parliamentarians to act. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwindonCanary 455 Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) The Agreement consists of two main documents: The Withdrawal Agreement itself, including a Protocol on Ireland and Northern Ireland; A Political Declaration setting out the framework for the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union it's the political Declaration that we are changing Edited June 7, 2020 by SwindonCanary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
