We can't have another GE - if Labour/Coalition is in power that means we've just had one! That would be two elections this side of Christmas shock

Should deport Farage, Javid & Bozzer - they have a right to other nationalities. so no problem with their human rights smile

The 3rd Mrs Corbyn use to be a banker

GillT57 Agreed most. We have
Labour would do that and more

Boris is friends with bankers McDonnell would call for investigation of financial system.

Revoke Article 50 and and hold a GE. If we go for an election, as seems likely in September Brexit without a deal could well have happened before the GE. What a mess.

Revoke article 50, swear in a National Government with MPs of all parties who have shown themselves to put country before career. Put laws in place which forbid any government acting on a referendum without at least 80% of electorate voting, and 75% of that 80% voting for a change from existing condition. Having done all of that and got the country back on an even keel, we should get a chancellor who works with HMRC to produce a workable tax system whereby everyone who benefits from infrastructure pays for it so no more Russian dirty money being laundered through unlived in properties. I would then publish tax details of those poisonous newspaper owners who spread the lies and misinformation which many believed; if you knew that the weird Barclay brothers who own The Telegraph lived in Brecqhou, pay hardly any UK income tax and are hated by the people on the island that they bought, it may change your mind about their editorial policy. And breathe......

What should they do first? Resign en-masse and do us all a favour.

You do love dropping liitle bits of left wing propaganda into your many, many OPs Gracesgran. grin

Planting the seeds of your ideal leftie scenarios come November, where we are all going to hell in a handcart, the country collapses, the public are panic buying and Labour takes the reins, getting rid of the Conservative politicians you hate. hmm

The worse thing about your version of a happy UK would be Corbyn at the helm. Now that is something we really SHOULD worry about.

Damn! Corbyn is what I meant.

Agree, Alima but would add get rid of Cornyn (tin helmet, behind sofa!)

Alima Sat 10-Aug-19 19:07:06

Too awful to contemplate.

Call a general election

I saw this on another forum where putting Boris in prison was getting many "I agree" clicks.

Another popular suggestion was "Go on bended knees and ask to be readmitted on the same terms as previously enjoyed."

A thirds suggestion was "Find out from security services exactly what they know about the activities of the far-right in the UK linked to international far-right. May didn't act on what she knew. Johnson is involved."

I enjoyed reading them but where do you think we would go from the chaos of Brexit and Johnson?
