Well Tommy Robinson says lots of things, maybe it could be wiser to not assume, I shouldn’t have to prove something I haven’t said, it’s upto you to prove I have said this.

I’ve provided my evidence. I’m just asking if you have any evidence to counter it. You don’t, obviously.

Edit - here’s some more

Ah yeah,Mr Selmayr.
You remainers have kept quiet about him..

Can't recall where but I've read somewhere that he has big plans for the UK ......none of them to our advantage though.

Any of you remainers care to enlighten us on this chap?
Probably not really worth pointing out to you that the EU is made up of lots of different countries, with lots of different ideas of how to proceed, and that is reflected in the make up of the EU hierarchy.
"The EU are sticking together" roughly translates as "Merkel has decided"
That would be true if the EU was run by Germany. As it isn't, then its not. Its not in the interests of the 27 for us to leave on a No Deal or to put too much pressure on us.

We've got another chance to sort this, so we'd better take the oppurtunity

So after a short meeting with Tusk yesterday we had to sit outside in the corridor while 27 other countries decided what to do with us.

All this control we're taking back. It feels so good.

In fairness if someone on here points out something that was said would happen in the event of leaving and hasn't happened you would be one of the first to say we haven't left yet. Surely that works both ways or was it claimed before leaving they would take back control ?

Far more people will blame the government than the Eau for this mess, mainly because it’s the government’s fault.

We're at the final stage of the process and last night is just a glimpse of what our future will look like. Out of power. Out of the rooms where key decisions are made. Our fate in the hands of other countries, and not just EU states.

It's absolutely criminal that we've reduced ourselves to this. And what for? It's a travesty.

This room where the big decision was made was one containing 27 leaders who were all handed a sealed envelope, inside which was their instruction on how to proceed. They debated it a bit, then went with the contents of the envelope. There were also occasions when Varadkar was told in no uncertain terms that the threat to Ireland of no deal did not warrant making the deadline June 30th (which he wanted).

Whereas we were free, had we chose, to leave in 7 days and 13.5 hours time.

So I would question which country has no power, and no control. Weak leadership certainly, but that is one problem that independence would eventually fix.

So you'd rather the opposition was in the room whilst you're chatting about them, thus giving away important information they could use?

Ok...

Putting aside your other points, why will leaving the EU fix the problem of weak leadership?

Lancaster - source, The Times.

Martin - generally, in over 20 years of working at or close to board level, I have observed that the more autonomy a post has, the better leaders are attracted to it. I have no doubts this would be the same.

A 'partial Brexit' is now the most likely outcome.

In the customs union
Closely aligned to the single market (but not in it)
Independent immigration, agriculture and fisheries policies

We will have to forfeit international trade deals

As long as we can have an independent immigration policy then it might be acceptable to leave voters.

But then again maybe not...

I don't think the rules that apply in business apply in the world of politics. You have to be a particular type of person to who want to be PM. Besides, at the moment it's her own party that are restricting her autonomy, not the EU.

I'm assuming that when Adonis, Blair, Clarke, Starmer, Clegg and Grieve met various EU officials to plot against democracy, they chose not to conduct the treasonous talks in a field......

You don't even need to be in the room. Have telecommunications not reached middle class leafy villages yet.

We hardly had any control over our future before, what a sad pitiful excuse we've become, reduced to the abnormal concept of waiting for the approval of 27 other members for a wish to be granted, if that doesn't tell you something isn't right nothing ever will.

The Brexit minister speaking in n the HoC is refusing to confirm that the next meaningful vote will take place on Monday as promised. More can kicking.

The Tory party needs some real leadership to stop this shambles now. The cabinet should resign on mass and MPss threaten to resign. Theresa May needs bringing down now before she does irreversible damage to the country.

Just as last week when you avoided defending Dominic Grieve having parallel rival discussions, by zooming in and obsessing with the fact that the source I used was The Sun. You've now gone tangential on the word "room"

Remoaner tactic - avoid defending the indefensible by either playing the man, use as much evasive, beating about the irrelevant bush as possible. Or mud sling using "racist" and "homophobe" if push comes to shove. Retreat back to kept in clover holier than thou, self affirming echo chamber.

Its more of a moan that its got the stage where we no longer control our own future.

The EU have to grant us an extension for us to avoid blowing both our feet off.
So instead of seeing it logically from a normal negotiation point, you're jumping off the deep end instead.

Now I understand your comment about me missing the point, when really we are looking at the same thing in different ways :roll:

They need to remain stable for years; if they do, then the first time buyers will more easily make a start in the market, the people who already own one house become neither richer nor poorer, and the people who own two or more will get poorer because their asset doesn't go up with inflation. We don't want house prices to fall because that leads to debt problems for people with mortgages; but we don't want them to rise.

At least, that's my view from right of centre. Doesn't the left of centre agree?
I think it was actually negative but did not wish to over sell! I agree that inflation would be a correct increase, in house prices. Nothing wrong with rental, at the right price.

Yeah Ringo

Little bit of self awareness training here

Now who else obsesses about single words in posts? Who else?

Well, if you want me to agree that its daft that we should expect to be in the room at this stage, then yes it is.

But again, I don't think that was the point being made.

Its more to do with the decisions we have (or more likely haven't!) made that got us to this stage.

"Homophobic"and "racist" two words you accused me of being.

Any proof yet?

Somebody even threw in "misogynistic" yesterday. Unsurprisingly, no proof.

In the usurping of democracy, being ghoulish is allowed. Apparently.

Wouldn’t pay too much attention to that, I can see at least three Russians and a North Korean on there. Fake news!!
