That's what a house of cards falling down looks like. By the way, one of Ringo's alternative accounts, in which it was claimed 'she' voted remain "but would now vote leave" a good while back, for those out of the loop. Basic astroturfing gone wrong by forgetting that the account was conceived under the pretence of a remain voter 'respecting democracy', but massively over-egged it with the brexiteer rhetoric. There isn't a remain voter in the country as vociferously in favour of leaving as 'Elizabeth', and aside from the fact a person's reasons for voting one way or the other are nobody else's business but their own (I'll give Elizabeth that much), 'her' inability to give a straight answer coupled with, to put it politely, the continuity errors erodes any benefit of the doubt that might otherwise have been afforded to any other trolling account.Elizabeth wrote:I remember you spiral from a month or so ago. I don't come on regularly so to remember you is indeed memorable.
Unfortunately for all the wrong reasons.
When I posted then I remember telling you that your little 'innocuous', questions were an obvious trap.
You denied this and even went on to say you never insulted posters. Shortly before you insulted me.
I only deserved that because I have to ashamedly say I teased with you.
But what do you do with a poster like you?
It is no business of yours why I voted in whatever way I did
I apologise to other reasonable posters for such a shitty way to respond but rest assured I feel I was driven to it.

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
Ok, but the Tories gambled once - 2017 - and lost. They were relatively united at that point, (all standing on a vague "brexit means brexit" platform), but they're almost impossibly divided now, so it would be an incredible gamble for them to go the country again, especially as if they lost just a few seats, they could accidentally pave the way for a Corbyn / SNP coalition, which would be their worst nightmare.Elizabeth wrote:Ooh right. The Conservative party are split. Then it's lucky for some party. But who? Don't think Labour.
OK to address your point. You may be right and the PM, whoever it is, won't call a General Election.
Then again you may be wrong and with Labour MPs so clearly showing themselves for what they are today I hope its not too big a shock for you if the Tories decide now is the time when it's fresh in voters minds to call a General Election
I'm waiting for the new Conservative leader to be announced before arguing with you further.

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
I should have mentioned Spiral that you need to look at the voting record of Labour MP, Caroline Flint. Maybe you won't but be sure to know before the next time you insult me that she is a remain supporting Labour MP who continues to back the PMs deal.
The reason?
Similar to mine. She puts backing her constituents wishes in front of her personal and political ambitions.
But then again we do differ. I am someone in the later years of her life. I am political now because there are not many other pleasures left to me. Don't even go there you fool.

The Labour party is as split as the Tory party, over 50% of Scotland did not vote SNP last time, and many who didn't bother are hardly impressed with their domestic record. Once the dust settles Corbyn may well lose the national socialist support that is his bedrock both within the party at large and at the polling station. Give it a couple of weeks and there will never be a better time to challenge for Labour leadership owt about May's.
If I were a tory I may be tempted to get her out having sorted who your "face" will be, get a party line and hit fire on another snap election. Like a say a lot of left-wing Brexit resentment and the right of the party may see the chance to get the middle ground back... but too late for the election.

To the exchequer yes, to the wider economy? Further to that, would the exchequer gain more if wages were allowed to reach their true level without the oversupply of labour? Does it also factor in the net loss to the DWP by indigenous youngster never being able to up skill and therefore move away from benefits supported working?Migrants from the EU contribute £2,300 more to the exchequer each year in net terms than the average adult, the analysis for the government has found.
And, over their lifetimes, they pay in £78,000 more than they take out in public services and benefits - while the average UK citizen’s net lifetime contribution is zero.

FWIW, I think that the Tories would struggle to hang on to the seats that they won in Scotland in 2017, (i.e. the ones that kept them in govt.) because they've treated the Scots with nothing but contempt since they got a foothold up there.

There's a lot to play out yet in this and as a shot from left field, getting the Labour lot to in-fight could be the Tories only realistic chance for years. Once we a. get into proper negotiations or b. deal with the fallout of remain. It is very unlikely things are going to get any better any time soon realistically.

This is true, and she contributes far more to the conversation, too. However, Spiral makes a couple of good arguments to the contrary on this page - that sexism thing did seem a bit weird and there’s been a number of other inconsistencies that I’ve noticed. I’m not sure again.Tall Paul wrote:The spelling, punctuation and grammar is far too good to be Ringo.
Working hypothesis - Elizabeth is real and it’s Ringo that’s the fake parody account. Elizabeth really was a remainer all those years ago and created a comedy brexiter to further the perception that a lot of Brexit voters had no idea what they were voting for. Then, I don’t know, she suffered a blow to the head or something and now the parody is slowly taking over the real Elizabeth.

I am honoured to have attracted so much attention. I said ido have a sense of humour and admit my teasing of spiral overstep the mark at times.
I first came on this board 3 years ago and if spiral had gone back that far ( instead of only researching my posts from 2018) he would have discovered more about me.
I know we all want the best for ourselves and our country even though we have different ideas about what that means or what is needed.
All I want now is the Clarets to get 3 points on the Turf tomorrow.
Goodnight ladies and gentlemen. And everyone else who goes by a different title

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
Don't flatter yourself, Elizabeth. It's not research. Here, anyone can try it: click Elizabeth's username, click search user's posts, go to older posts (page 2 in Ringo's case). You'll find the post. I just timed it; it took me eight seconds to find the continuity error in Ringo's character's story arc.
But alas, that's the sound of a user account retiring, so all the best, Elizabeth. We hardly knew ye (but also knew ye all too much).
