Theresa May will lose the vote on Tuesday.

Do you agree?

And then what will happen next........let’s see whose prediction is the closest. Perhaps let this thread run about 2 weeks and see who got it right, or nearly right.

Declare a winner just before Christmas.

Over to you ?

I voted Leave and it had nothing to do with immigration - I don't know anyone who voted Leave who voted for that reason. Some sweeping generalisations on here. I want out of the failing EU project - the sooner the better. If May could get something legally binding on the Irish backstop then I would totally support the current withdrawal deal - that is the only serious sticking point, for leavers and remainers both.

Sent the beans via the Royal Mail. First class. Expect them some time in the New Year

I thought we were being accused, again

No, not that different at all, but I didn’t like to say so on here.
Welcome back.

lemongrove Thu 13-Dec-18 16:14:06

Can you send them round quickly ( beans) as I am taking our local womens group box to the food bank on Saturday.
Thanks in advance.
I am happy to have any food hamper, elitist or otherwise.?

Anja Thu 13-Dec-18 16:13:44

Not that different!

lemongrove Thu 13-Dec-18 16:11:37

Under another name of course.

Anja Thu 13-Dec-18 16:11:19

I just took a break

Anja Thu 13-Dec-18 16:10:08

No love I’ve been around since the beginning.

oldbatty Thu 13-Dec-18 14:25:05

Anja.......are you newish here?

Nicenanny3 Thu 13-Dec-18 14:15:52

Anja actually I think it is you who are calling Leavers racist.

Anja Thu 13-Dec-18 13:41:16

Lemon I’m afraid such a hamper would evoke accusations of elitism. If you don’t want your baked beans I will donate them to a food bank! ?

Anja Thu 13-Dec-18 13:38:29

Are you accusing me of racism Nice?nanny. because I think you might find that’s not acceptable under GN guidelines.

Anja Thu 13-Dec-18 13:36:02

Nicenanny try to live up to your name and read my post correctly. I said many not all and not even most!

lemongrove Thu 13-Dec-18 13:04:46

A whacking great generalisation there Anja for some immigration was not the reason at all.
Furthermore I am very disappointed by the prize for best predictions as I was hoping for a Fortnum and Mason hamper at the very least.
I won’t challenge you GG54 you may enjoy your promised beans on toast, though it seems you have to wait until next December for them.tchgrin

Nicenanny3 Thu 13-Dec-18 12:50:15

Anja don't be such a bigot people voted Leave for lots of reasons. Or is it you who only likes the white EU immigrants and not the Asian ones.

Anja Thu 13-Dec-18 09:19:36

Those who voted leave because they didn’t want ‘those bloody foreigners coming over here and stealing our jobs and living on benefits’ (as if it is possible to do both!) are now faced with increased percentage of immigrants from Asian countries.

That won’t plesse them either! ?

maryeliza54 Thu 13-Dec-18 09:02:13

Well ll given your powers of prediction .....

Anja Thu 13-Dec-18 09:00:24

Let’s admit it, many of those who voted leave wanted to end freedom of labour. Well this ‘deal’ guarantees that.

loopyloo Thu 13-Dec-18 08:47:38

I think she might just get enough ' modifications' to the deal to get the vote passed, by the skin of her teeth.

Oh, so that explains the toxic hot air grin

Most people's attempts to dictate the rules on this forum end in failure. You mostly get what you're given. Just saying...

GrannyGravy13 Thu 13-Dec-18 08:05:26

GG54, Waitrose own brand baked beans are the best ??
