Is This Not The Most Morally Bankrupt Thing Ever, Even For Teeresa May?

[kvalidir]

Teresa May has actually threatened to potentially cease co-operation on security matters with EU member states if she doesn't get her own way to get a trade deal negotiated alongside 'divorce talks' ( which frankly isn't going to happen).
Doesn't showing such panicked fearful posturing already not simply get the back up of every EU member country and weaken our position as it is surely not the actions of a leader of a country to endanger the rest of Europe ( and indeed ourselves) in a vain bid to get her own way, but rather of someone who is morally bankrupt and desperately out of her depth in the international field?

Emmie...the nasties in this case are the people that like to snipe and carp from the sidelines, about trivial things like spelling names correctly, rather than engage in a meaningful debate.

I don't include you in this category.

Perhaps you should do likewise your 'record' collection which among others include, racist, Xenophobic, Islamophobic, Bigot, Fascist are not only worn out, but also very boring.

[Kromovaracun]

Xenophobes, bigots, and fascists are real things though.

I suspect the real reason why Ms Sturgeon gets such a lot of stick here on AB is because she isn't a Tory. Hence the attempts to ridicule her with daft names.

Maybe a bit late but..............I think we should keep the United Kingdom....all we need to do is to have the British parliament in Edinburgh and Westminster can be a devolved parliament with limited powers running England.

Maggie...brilliant suggestion !

[naomi24]

Mikey, Why is that a brilliant suggestion?

"I have been talking to two Germans today who are very upset and think Brexit isn't any good at all for Germany."

I must say the last thing that crossed my mind when I put my cross in the "Leave" box was whether our decision would be good or bad for Germany. Reading the above, though, I suppose some good has come from it.

Germany, which virtually runs the EU, had its chance to keep the UK onside when Mr Cameron pleaded with them to make some changes. It would not have made any difference to my vote if they had agreed but fortunately they refused on the basis that they believed we would not leave in a million years. They (along with many others) thought the idea was laughable. Well, in the words of Mr Farage (which he borrowed from Bob Monkhouse) "they're not laughing now, are they?"

Kval@13:12. I really don't mind your childish disrespect towards our PM. It tells us more about your mind set than her's. My antenna were set twitching by the lame excuse about the "difficulties of typing on a phone whilst travelling". Really. You were obviously feeling a little bashful after being quite rightly corrected, and made a poor attempt to excuse yourself.

"beloved of all the swivel eyed loons, " - what about us knuckle draggers?

[New Judge]

Yes I noticed it too, 3Ts. I simply could not be bothered to react. It was tedious and tiresome for a time, but now it's simply childish.

[hereIam]

naomi, excellent post at 11.08. Talbot, didn't know you were a pensioner and does anybody understand bednobs' rinse, lather etc post ???

[Togo]

Listening to the washing machine?

[naomi24]

Thanks HereIam. At least someone read it and understood it. ;o)

[-Talbot-]

I'm not a pensioner Kvlad was just a tad angry (yes those who lean to the left do get angry)

Me, I just laugh at angry people ... (Kvlad has actually just got caught in my spiders web on another thread)

;0)

judge: "I must say the last thing that crossed my mind when I put my cross in the "Leave" box was whether our decision would be good or bad for Germany" - it's the firesides that worry me, wait till their dues go up and they'll fill Paris with muck spreaders! PMSL!

People on all sides of the Political spectrum voted for 'Brexit'. The Government, led by Mrs May, now have a mandate, from the majority of those who voted, to extricate the peoples of these islands from the EU.
Remainers have a variety of concerns about our exit, how it will be achieved and what it will mean for us afterwards. These are, no doubt, sincerely held and have been given a great deal of consideration.
Brexiters, similarly, ought to be credited with having deliberated long and hard about the matter although having reached an different conclusion.
Those on 'the left' appear to be able to see absolutely no integrity in the manner in which our withdrawal is being/will be handled simply because it is a Tory administration in charge.
I doubt if a Labour-led withdrawal would have been satisfactory, either (not least because the implication is that there would never have been one because there would have been no In/Out referendum) because the Remainers want to Remain and anything else is unsatisfactory.

Togo, I'm really glad you don't mind my 'childish disrespect towards our PM'- because there is plenty more where that came from so you're in for a treat. Quite how you'll apply 'childish' to my 80 year old Grandmother who feels the same about the unelected THERESA May(Day) I dunno but then I don't care either, however when I am wrong I'll happily admit it and don't need to feel 'bashful' ( or happy, or grumpy, or sleepy etc etc etc) so I don't bother to make an excuse when it's not fact, the benchmark of being perfect here isn't really a very high one in a lot of cases, so no need.

[-Talbot-]

, however when I am wrong I'll happily admit it



Glad to hear it, Kvlad ... but really, there is no need to apologise.
