Get Brexit Done

It would have been far better to have had a second referendum before a general election.

The Liberal Democrat MPs in the last parliament attempted 17 times to get a second vote but were never supported by the Labour Party (although some MPs of all parties, including the LP, did support it).

I happen to agree with most LibDem policies and would vote LibDem anyway, but I suggest that in this sham of an election, all REMAINERS should vote tactically for the candidate most likely to defeat the Brexitories in their constituency.

Obviously many other things matter, but the country would be so damaged by brexit, that stopping it MUST be top priority.

anything else can be sorted out in 4 years time ...

Brexit is forever- and will not just 'get done' but take years and years of negotiations with us being at the bottom of the pile - and massive damage to all our services and industry.

Get Brexit done is pure nonsense meme.

I wonder how much money has been wasted on this Brexit nonsense?

Johnson and others keep repeating their mantras because they know that catchphrases work – at least for a time. The phrases roll off the tongue, are easy to remember, sound strong and, importantly, they don't need critical thinking or analysis. This, in turn, means that many people respond to them in a positive way. Just keep saying it: ”Take Back Control, The Will of the People, Get Brexit Done!”

I know that we are not supposed to say what a lot of us are thinking, but just how stupid would you have to be ........?

The current impasse cannot continue, the uncertainty is impacting on business and NHS. I doubt the free trade agreement will be done in a year as EU will be tough then it has to be ratified by each EU country which will take at least 6 months. If we take an off the shelf solution it may speed things up and promise to align regulations now and into the future as well. That apart from the Irish problem. Both LP and Conservatives are being disingenuous in the time lines required.

So true Tooting

The obvious solution is to STOP BREXIT

Either vote LibDem or vote for whichever candidate looks most likely to defeat the brexitories in your constituency.

Brexiteers don't understand we, the British, have more power in Europe than do most other European countries

Not only do we have more power, we are not in the Euro, nor in Schengen, and we have a rebate. We have the very best deal of any EU member country.

No wonder our fellow EU member countries all think we'd have to be bonkers to even consider leaving.

Indeed- beggars belief.

Johnson's speeches are full of slogans. The one that I find really grating is "Unleash Britain's Potential". They've had ten years to do that and, in my view, they've done nothing but crush Britain's potential.

I'm not particularly referring to the chaos and division which has followed the referendum. It was already bubbling under the surface, in my view because Conservative policies impoverished many people, often in already disadvantaged parts of the country, and they believed - and many, though not all, continue to believe - that the EU was responsible. We will only see if they are correct once we leave but, as a not entirely convinced remainer, I still have serious doubts as to the wisdom of branching out on our own, given the state of this country at the moment.

I'm not a fan of " the Northern Powerhouse!

Unleash, what a joke, Unleash people who have to choose between food or heating. Unleash the thousands of children whose growth is stunted due to deprivation , no decent food.

*One in three teachers are providing pupils with basic hygiene products such as toothpaste and soap amid soaring child poverty rates, a new study shows.

Eight in ten primary school teachers have said they had seen a rise in the numbers of children coming to school unwashed or not looking presentable in the last five years and have found themselves intervening at an increasing rate*

I was watching 'Coast' today and they said that the EU was formed as a way of keeping peace in Europe [which I knew of course] but it also said that the EU made it impossible for one country to arm itself for war [if that makes sense, I've probably worded it incorrectly] which is something I hadn't realised. It was actually a fascinating programme that took in London and then Belgium and talked a lot about trade etc.
