So 50 MPs met to discuss getting rid of her, should we be counting the days? Or will she simply stay because there's no other suitable candidate and no one wants a poisoned chalice?

We do indeed have a lot of migrants in England from all parts of the globe, quite likely every single country, that includes migrants from Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Cornwall too.

We are happy to share our relative good fortune with you, if those of you in the regions think you are so hard done by, move, the grass is always greener but everything costs more here

Scots independance, I'd vote for it, because everybody should have the right to choose who governs them, although I forsee problems with the border just like NI.

As opposed to the bigoted and the braindead who are in charge of the SNP paddyann?
Do have a vote and leave the Union!.....Oh wait, you already had one, and common sense won the day.

Wales and N.Ireland Paddyann?

Oh Dear Niggly that old common misconception! The EU is responsible for only 5 % of our laws ,Westminster is responsible for almost 80% ,you tell me why we would n't be independent if we had control of 95% of our own affairs instead of our Neighbour taking a huge chunk of our revenue and giving us pocket money back while THEY spend it on things that we dont want ,need or that aren't anything to do with us.Its a no brainer .With the EU we get to keep the immigrants we NEED ,now I know England NEEDS immigrants too,but they want to cut off their noses to spite their faces.
Its a win win if we get shot of Westminster and stay in Europe .Shame the bigotted and the braindead appear to be in charge down there .

No memory loss Annie just a very cunning man.

Anniebach Mon 24-Sept-18 18:52:15

I don’t believe a man with such an appalling memory,” I was at the wreath laying but don’t know if I was involved “

lemongrove Mon 24-Sept-18 18:42:17

The pendant OldMeg or the pedant? grin

MaizieD Mon 24-Sept-18 17:47:51

As you are so dismissive of niggly in believing politicians?

It's nellie who keeps proclaiming that she doesn't believe what anyone says... Then suddenly, David Cameron's word is gospel (thought only, unfortunately, only the 'once in a lifetime' rhetoric; not the 'we should remain in the EU stuff.. hmm )

Actually the annoying phrase The People's Vote is up there with Taking back Control and The People have spoken and you are wrong lemon, they are not used by lefties ( another REALLY irritating word) but by every platitudinous politician that appears on QT or on Andrew Marr or whatever. They use these irritating phrases to pretend, to try to convince the electorate that they really do take notice. This is politicians, political pundits and journalists of all persuasions by the way. Just watch, don't make assumptions.

OldMeg Mon 24-Sept-18 17:06:47

Just pointing that out. Can’t help the pendant in me.

OldMeg Mon 24-Sept-18 17:05:44

No, if you were addressing my post the correct reply would be ‘I thought you’d believe that’

You should have been answering my belief in Corbyn not what ‘he might be’.

lemongrove Mon 24-Sept-18 16:57:43

I thought he might be wink

OldMeg Mon 24-Sept-18 16:56:20

Seriously though Corbyn is one of the few politicians I do believe.

OldMeg Mon 24-Sept-18 16:55:33

Oh no! Now I’m completely cut up not being on trend ?

lemongrove Mon 24-Sept-18 16:48:05

Do any of you not believe what Corbyn says? As you are so dismissive of niggly in believing politicians?

lemongrove Mon 24-Sept-18 16:45:25

OldMeg LOL isn’t used anymore.

lemongrove Mon 24-Sept-18 16:44:33

If you haven’t seem Tracey Breaks The News yet, then you really should.

lemongrove Mon 24-Sept-18 16:43:34

Only with certain posters MaizieD !

OldMeg Mon 24-Sept-18 16:43:06

Maizie she makes me LOL!

MaizieD Mon 24-Sept-18 16:35:45

I think that Gnet should have a dedicated Comedy forum.... poor lemon's jokes fall so very flat on Politics...

lemongrove Mon 24-Sept-18 16:32:50

Bad jokes? Blame Tracey Ullman then, but it was actually very very funny. grin

lemongrove Mon 24-Sept-18 16:31:40

It may well be older ( who cares?) but in Communist countries is used a great deal, China in particular.
The left seems to use it here too, People’s Marches etc.

trisher Mon 24-Sept-18 16:29:35

Noting wrong with my sense of humour I just don't like bad jokes from uninformed people.

trisher Mon 24-Sept-18 16:28:16

lemon you are so wrong The 1832 Reform act was The Representation of the People Act and in 1909 the H of Lords passed a "People's Budget". Historically the term is much older than communism

lemongrove Mon 24-Sept-18 16:24:37

Sense of humour bypass trisher .....a condition suffered by many far lefties.
