This is a perfect example of why the Lord's is important, a very good example you've raised Mick

Re: BREXIT

Interesting times ahead for the EU. I've an idea where Trump will tell them to go.

What???

There are no issues! Didn't you know the EU is a safe haven? As safe from terrorism, social unrest and extreme right wing politics as the Greeks are safe from eternal debt. There are no issues within the EU - no unemployment, stagnation, unrest or division. It's only life outside the EU which is susceptible to any such negative forces as that virtuous crystal ball monger Tim Farron has clearly proved. Anyone who'd want to leave the warm embraced of the Brussels Bureaucrats must be insane - all the empirical evidence shows us that staying in the EU is the only way for the UK to be a prosperous, safe and harmonious nation...

What a terribly awful place to receive an education. You'll be telling us next Hugh that you stuck your nob in a pig's mouth during detention .

Your buttocks should be spanked with a wet rasher. And we won't even mention your time at Sandhurst.

You're missing the point mate. I'm describing why people on either side of the debate could be called traitors. I'm saying it's equally invalid to describe either side as traitors because they have a different but valid opinion.

Nope. In response to why people one side of the argument could be described as traitors, I explained that this could apply to the other side. I stated it was incorrect to label one side traitors just because they felt differently from you on an issue.

Nigel Farage is a man for this time. It's most likely that without him, the referendum would not have happened. He (and Trump) get the battle that is going on between nation state Sovereignty and a globalist agenda.
I'm just showing that there are two sides to many arguments. There's no evidence to show that either side are traitors...which is my point.

Well according to Donald Trump, he is ‘totally in favour’ of ‘wonderful’ EU.

Based on your own subjective one eyed opinion l gather as am l a traitor because l did not vote for Brexit? at the time and now its going to happen my belief is we should try to do the best we can for the whole of the country going into the future so l gather IYO that does not make me a traitor now?.

Re: BREXIT

calm down dear
i quoted the dictionary definition of traitor and its origin

as a brexiter i voted to take back control
not give away more control to a foreign power

what ever you voted for is i your business and on your conscience i have put no label on it .

I certainly don't think we would leave without paying anything but I doubt it will be £50bn.
