National Unity......will it work?

GG54 appalled to read your snobbish post at 23.50, what, only posh people educated at expensive public schools suited to govern the country?

I would like a government full of entitled toffs who like to wear top hats and cheat and lie.

Oh wait a minute........

Dear rest of the world,
we don't know how to sort this mess. We want it to end as much as you do, so please accept our apology for having elected the biggest bunch of idiots in history.

Dear rest of the world
we should never have done any of this in the first place. Unfortunately an arrogant fool and his friends thought it would be fun to hold a referendum.

Just what I was thinking Lily65 how on earth could a "blue collar government" be worse?
I wonder what Mrs May will be saying to JC-"strong and stable". "these are my red lines" or maybe "The DUP cost me 1 billion, how much for the Labour Party?"

Dear EU
Please can we come back and play in your yard, ours isn't half as nice as we thought it would be, everyone keeps arguing and there are some rich kids trying to bully us all.

Was the money paid to the DUP for their party funds ?

If we leave (I refuse to use the stupid 'crash out' phrase) Friday week with no deal then this whole sorry state will be over.

Far from being over, if we leave this very sorry state would just be beginning. The trade negotiations, wrangling, chaos, political inertia, blame for the damage, and tragic waste of money would continue for the rest of our lives.

In your opinion varian

No-one can possibly know for sure how it would work, but this current situation has reached a stalemate so something needs to be done.

Don't forget, Theresa May repeatedly said that no deal would be better than a bad deal. It's shameful that she has backtracked on that.

The figures in this analysis are not my opinion, but the opinion of the Department for Exiting the European Union.

Theresa May has repeated many silly soundbites which have made matters worse.

If you think it will all be over if we leave with no deal or any deal actually you are forgetting all the endless tortuous negotiations that will have to be made, not to mention the inevitable general election and all the division and recriminations that will bubble up again. This will run and run.

Don't get the hump humptydumpty, I was only cracking a yolk.
Seriously, you don't have to be a toff or have had a private education to be what used to be termed a 'white collar worker'.
2 of my AC were educated in the private sector on scholarships/ bursaries and many 'ordinary' families with 2 working parents have scraped together (sometimes aided by GPs) the finance to allow their children to benefit from smaller class sizes and a wider education than might otherwise be the case.

The fact that anyone thinks it will all be over once we reach 'exit' day, or that 'no deal' would be perfectly OK just demonstrates, yet again what a stupid idea it was to run a referendum on remaining in/leaving the EU when a goodly number of the electorate don't have a clue about anything outside their own experience.

And don't intend to learn because 'who needs experts'

If our MPs hadn't a clue what leaving the EU meant, how can ordinary people have understood the implications?

I keep wondering if there is something going on that none of us know about, surely there must be? I just have this sense of it all being so unreal. Please can I wake up and find it was a dream?

I think I know a bit what you mean Nonnie . I sometimes catch myself thinking, right I’ve played this game long enough now, I’m going to stop. And then realise I can’t

How can it be National Unity when neither Scotland or NI (whose voters chose to remain) nor Wales have a voice in the 'final solution'?
and what about Gibraltar - 96% remain?

Did TM use the term National Unity in her speech?

I can't think of anything worse than a blue collar government.
I am just wondering what that means

Obviously not a Labour Government consisting of Jeremy Corbyn (private school, posh), Dianne Abbott (Grammar school and Cambridge), McDonnell (Grammar school, Independent School, university), Emily Thornberry (posh by any standards despite growing up in a council house), Sir Keir Starmer (grammar school, university) etc

Who or what is a 'blue collar government'
I am genuinely puzzled.

Yes, T May did use the phrase national unity ( which is why I put that in the OP.)
High time that all parties put national unity first btw.
Am hopeful that something good will now happen and we will leave with a deal.?

Cant have anyone running the country who isn't an aristocrat - or at least has a wealthy daddy can you? God forbid they should have been a postman or cleaner. Whatever next.

Unity should have been the operative word before this circus ever came to town.
We don't have to like certain persons connected to the EU but for goodness sake let's remain friends for the sake of peace for the futures of our families.

The ordinary man in the street has got more nouse than some of the so-called politicians.

Alan Johnson was a postman , many wanted him to stand for leadership of the Labour Party

John Prescott was a ships steward who became deputy PM

Re John Prescott - when he took his seat in the H of C, the Tory benches broke out in guffaws when Nicholas Soames shouted out something like ‘ I’ll have a G&T Giovanni and my friend will have the same’
(That would be NS who worked his way down from the top of the well connected family he came from btw)

Yes I know, John said he was humiliated
