    Can I call him depaffel?

    I’m sure you can. Whether you should or not is another thing.

    Can someone also explain the depaffel thing. I don't get the reference. Googling it throws up this thread at the top of the list

    I thought he was Turkish. Must be from a different side though?

    I disagree with your opinion.

    If you could stop calling objective facts opinions we might get somewhere.

    Lol, by posts in this thread it's like the world outside of the EU is a barren wasteland.

    How felicitous. Reading T.S. Eliot''s The Waste Land in the age of Brexit

    Did it say leave without a deal?

    :confused: As you could see from the ballot I went and found for you, it said neither.

    It's way easier to understand than Irish ballots

    Nevermind Irish ballots, we didn't vote to leave anything.

    So, it said nether?
    How do you know what the leave voter wanted so? 54% of voters, in last GE, voted for pro deal parties

    We'll just pop back in the question you're leaving out of quoting, shall we?
    Leaving the EU has several options, which one does that referendum "leave" cover?

    Amber Rudd has resigned too.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49623737
    Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd has quit the Cabinet and Conservative Party saying she cannot "stand by" while "loyal moderate Conservatives are expelled".

    In her resignation letter, she said she no longer believed leaving the EU with a deal was the government's "main objective".

    The destruction of the Tory party would be a fitting comeuppance for what they've done to Britain, not to mention Ireland.

    And if we vote for the wrong thing we have to go back and do it again properly so, less stress over decisions eh.

    The main reason it's easier to understand is because it's not legally binding so wording doesn't matter in the slightest. Meanwhile our amendments to our constitution are properly planned.

    An alliance could be the answer although I imagine Corbyn would be VERY hard work.

    Yes they do at the moment but once there is a general election it will be a different story 1 many will realise that the hard right have taken over the party 2 the brexit party will assist in destabilising them (it doesnt have to win many seats just take votes off tories, split right wing vote and allow a Labour or Lib Dem tgrough) 3 many of their former MPs will run against them and win

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    What's going on with the DUP now, a mere 4 days after supporting the Tories against no-deal opponents?

    DUP MP Jeffrey Donaldson says UK not to exit EU without deal: Brexit not to frustrate or derail Belfast Agreement, claims leading unionist politician

    Mod:

    Blueshoe, declanflynn, RobMc59, the infantile back and forth ends here. Please don't post in the thread again.

    Mod: All 3 posted in this thread today, and all 3 are now taking a break from the forum.
    If you've been threadbanned, then don't post here.
    It's not that difficult to understand.

    Won't happen. SNP are gonna SNP. Greens are head in the clouds types with their own agenda and less seats then Plaid.

    Lib Dems actually stand for nothing and Labour don't want to lose London to them,

    There was also a poll which suggested conservative vote will drop a huge amount of no general election before end of october
