Last time I looked just like remain, the leave campaign has a cross section of society, not just right wingers, someone put it really well today I thought, parts of Northern England who voted out haven't done so well economically as their Southern counterparts, so many are just worried about their jobs, if they have one... some are not bothered about right wing political views so this type of labelling is not very helpful and is incredibly childish imo

Generation Identity flags today, another far right group that the Christchurch murderer donated $1500 to.

Interesting

Voting leave and supporting Brexit doesn’t make you right wing, it’s a very lazy stereotype that needs to be abandoned

Exactly and I say that as a remainer of which sometimes I am embarrassed because of some of the opinions it is associated with

Probably in the same manner that words like remoaner and snowflake are thrown around and allowed

No but to put it the other way around; I would be very, very surprised if many on the hard right voted Remain.

No it doesn't mean all leavers are right wing.
But it doesn't help all right wingers are brexiters.
And it doesn't help you have far right people jumping on your bandwagon.
It's up to the Leave campaigns (there's more than one I believe) to make sure it doesn't happen, not up to remainers.
The fact that Farage was on the Thames on the boat belonging to Fishing for Leave who have far right people as members or the fact that there were far right flags on today's demo shows staggering lack of judgement to say the least.

You're missing the point.
You can't expect your outrage at using the term gammon will be taken seriously if you don't object when liberals are called snowflakes.
Either you disprove of such terms every time or you don't.

Also false but sure, you carry on being offensive because people don’t agree with you

The people that go on marches are the ones who are dogmatic and absolutist about an issue. Their not a representation of where public opinion is at.

Agreed. And funny they’re always in London, don’t see anyone that would travel just to attend these marches.

That's not true.
Last week, the remain march had loads of people from all over the UK. They said 20 coaches came from Scotland alone.
I'd imagine leave march today had also loads of people from outside of London.

Another referendum.
I'd be worried about that, I can only see problems with that no matter the result.

At present, a General election would likely bring about another hung Parliament.
Or a very narrow win either way for Conservative or Labour.

A big compromise is what is likely needed, the problem here is, what's always been the case, this PM seems unable to even understand what compromise is, never mind encourage and bring it about.

A new Conservative leader and PM is needed, NOW.
This PM should be made to go now and yes, for me any new elected Conservative leader, take over this issue that has been pathetically handled by a total incompetent.

No one now in my view, could be or do worse than Theresa May has.

that's BS Joey in the EU.To us in the EU a GE is waisting everyone's time.

Corbyn is piss poor.The man can simply not think on his feet...during PMQ's he asks a Q from a script...He doesn't even challlenge her answer...head down...what does my script tell me next.
I am no fan of May but I think it is very easy for those on the sidelines ie Labour ,DUP,ERG to sling mud from the sidelines...Labour under Corbyn is party first not country...He wants his feet under the table in 10 downing St....just like the ERG..Not someone the EU can deal with

No hatred from me, I like you Alf

When we have had a referendum and know that approx 17 million people support either side, when parliament also reflects that position, what on earth is the point in a March :laugh:

Nicky91 30-03-2019 07:12 AM

EU are already prepared at no deal brexit, we stand strong together as one, our United EU

also ready to demolish that harder border at northern ireland/ireland

bots 30-03-2019 07:33 AM

Theresa May and her cabinet are looking for ways to bring her EU withdrawal agreement back to the Commons for a fourth attempt at winning MPs' backing.

The PM said the UK would need "an alternative way forward" after her plan was defeated by 58 votes on Friday.

I just cannot believe she could even contemplate bringing this back for a 4th time.
Had any other PM in a Labour or even Lab/Lib coalition been going on like this.
The media and press and other Parties supporters would be very rightly demanding at least that farcical PM was out and would tear that government to bits.

Labour, LibDems, SNP, PC, Green most of this independent group and the DUP are all against and voting against this deal.
Along with still around 25 Conservative MPs.

She's fortunate Sinn Fein aren't there with their 7 MPs.

Yet still this dangerously stubborn PM can even consider bringing this back.

She has made the biggest farcical laughing stock of Parliament.
She has no one else.

This is ridiculous.
How she is now even allowed to continue is beyond me.

What has happened to the Conservative party.
They elected Ian Duncan Smith as leader, in the 2000s, he performed so weak and badly, they got rid of him even before he had the chance to fight a general election.

This PM, has turned Parliament into a pantomime, not a pleasant one however.
Really, I think she is dangerously deluded.
It's totally ridiculous.
