Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
I agree, that byline report is a perfect example of not very clever people writing their conclusion and then working backwards to write an article.
Just because genuinely clever people are trying to make money on this does not prove, or even make probable, that Johnson or Cummings have made money from it (the implication).
I have a simple rule - when my bullsh1t radar goes off, I then dismiss anything coming from the same source. Byline fits the bill.

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
In the best tradition of wannabe dictators, Johnson is telling us our elected representatives are undemocratic, and now our judiciary is too. This idea that two main pillars of our way of life - that have served us reasonably well for hundreds of years - are “against the people” whereas an unelected prime minister is standing up for the people is just “dictator 101”quoonbeatz wrote:Not that we didn't all know already that brexit was all about disaster capitalists but it seems the extent to which the rich, establishment types are playing the working class is finally being revealed.

I always thought our unwritten constitution was something to take pride in. I might have some heavy socialist opinions, but I’m not into trashing tradition in the way we govern our.country. This is my conservative side (which we all have). But along comes a PM who pushes the boundaries and - against the real democratic ideal of finding consensus - abuses our unwritten constitution and tried to sideline parliament, and then claims it is against the people (no doubt tomorrow’s press will be full of how the judiciary is too). He’s treating our country like it’s his own personal thing, and our laws and political system as an inconvenient obstacle in his way.
An egomaniac like him will never deliver Brexit, if “taking back control” means trashing our unique political system.

I wonder why the "2 refineries may close" section has been redacted from Yellowhammer? Is it because it's a non-issue? It would only take a couple of days to speak to the UK refiners and get some facts?

Straight imports/exports won't be affected, but the UK's own oil, and oil refined in the UK will be at a competitive advantage because domestic wages and overheads are (I assume) paid in Sterling.

The other bit these yellowhammer papers don't mention is that while UK refineries exporting to Europe are at a competitive disadvantage because of tariffs, EU refineries exporting to the UK are at a double competitive disadvantage because of tariffs and exchange rates. It works both ways. Two competing refineries, one in France and one in the UK, may experience losses of sales to each other. It won't be all one way.

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
Away from all the nonsense on here. Away from the jumping up and down by democracy denying remoaners. In the real world-
More than half of British adults believe the result of the 2016 referendum should be respected, and Brexit delivered, says a new poll.
54% agree the referendum result should be respected, the survey by ComRes found.
Just 25% disagreed and 21 per cent didn’t know.
Of those who voted Remain in 2016, more than a third (35 per cent) said they now wanted Brexit delivered.
Proving at least 2 things.
1, There are actually remainers who accept democracy.
2, Lancasterclarets ghoulish prediction (wish) that brexiteers would have died off by now. Was not only distasteful but way off the mark.

17. Low income groups will be disproportionately affected by any price rises in food and fuel.
1 Have food and fuel prices risen while we've been members of the Common Market / EU?
Yes or no?
2 Have Low income groups been disproportionately affected by those price rises in food and fuel.?

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
There is an interesting spin being put on this by leavers. The High Court did not rule that it was lawful or unlawful they said it wasn’t a question for the Court (not justiciable). The interpretation of constitutional law in Scotland is different, that is why all these cases challenging the gov start there. Nothing to do with the Judges.If it be your will wrote:The situation is clearly darkening.

Good to hear that steps are being taken to mitigate the damage in your business.
Part of my problem with all this is that stuff like this is being hidden, when if its released earlier people have both a knowledge of the risks involved and what they can potentially do to mitigate it.
I think from what you've said its fair to say that the majority of your stuff doesn't go cross-channel in the back of a wagon? (would that be fair?) and that is where the problems are going to be most severe (in the event of a No Deal).
Be interesting to see what the issues are going to be up near us at Heysham

But for what it’s worth I think it’s entirely reasonable for Parliament to request access to those records if it thinks it’s being lied to. If wouldn’t normally be an issue as a majority government couldn’t be forced to release them until they came into the public domain after how ever many years is the rule, but Johnson has put himself in a position where it’s difficult to avoid full scrutiny.

A worrying obsession ? Don't flatter yourself.
Far from it - I'm merely pointing out again your idiocy in attempting to run, at least, two accounts and doing it in a very silly, amateurish way.
You'd have been far better off having Elizabeth as a Remainer but becoming increasingly critical of the way the Remainers are conducting themselves, having her chipping away, just throwing in the odd valid-ish point every now and then.
I did it a few years ago on a Bolton Wanderers board. One account being the hostile, gleeful Burnley fan, the other a long-suffering Trotters fan with patience sadly running out. The Burnley fan was scornful as Bolton slid down the table, the Bolton fan found himself in the awful position of having to criticise the management, some of the players and the lack of support. Not too much - and it worked a treat. Even some of the Billy Bull shitters such as yourself began to agree with some of the fabricated points.
All you've done, however, is create a watered down version of yourself with slightly less bullshit and conceit.
Stylometry is not a difficult science; word choice, sentence structure, repetition, punctuation, sentence length, syntax, figurative speech, humour - or lack of it, tone and so on are all quite noticeable habits in anybody's writing. We all do it, it's just that your subtle little game isn't just, well, subtle enough.
As I said, I feel sorry for you - you appear to have some serious psychological weakness. You're harmless enough.

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
Bordeauxclaret will be thrilled.
Ringo is truly going national.
Ps does anyone really believe that Ringo has voted Labour even fairly recently?

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
I hope Nicky was quoting that in context. ‘Paul from Burnley’ is Brexit Party through and through and only said he might ‘hold his nose’ and vote Tory in the event of a Tory/Brexit Party deal meaning he didn’t have the option of voting Brexit Party in Burnley.android wrote:But meanwhile Ringo aka "Paul from Burnley" the fame grows...
Nicky Campbell on BBC Radio 5 Live was sufficiently impressed by your contribution yesterday to play back some of what you had said yesterday for the benefit of a Labour MP he was interviewing this morning. Nicky Campbell then went on to quote what you had said about Labour voters potentially holding their noses and voting Conservative.
It was between 8.10 and 8.15 this morning.

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
Can I pick you up on that point. He's the type of person who would gleefully share the Britain's First posts on social media, you know, the ones with Farage in front of a poster with "brown people" on it and then moaning about immigration (when we all know that "brown" refugees are not immigrants from eastern Europe).evensteadiereddie wrote:You're harmless enough.
So for me, he is dangerous not harmless. He is exactly the type of person who has been triggered by Brexiteers to peddle the lies of Brexit because of his inherent racism that he clearly is also unaware of (perhaps he is, then that makes him even worse!)

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
That’s what he said. He then called on MPs to ‘deliver what they promised’ which means he’s delighted Labour have stuck to their promise of rejecting ‘no deal’ and a deal that doesn’t have a customs union. He’s hiding it well of course.Lancasterclaret wrote:Bordeauxclaret will be thrilled.
