[Politics] Brexit

Lincoln Imp said:

But surely in saying that to let them remain would be to ignore the wishes of the people he is implying that they shouldn't be allowed to remain?

The key word there is 'implying'. It is meat and drink to snake oil salesmen. Rabble-rousers like Farage and Johnson are adept at giving a clear impression of one thing while inserting a small semantic escape clause that allows them to claim they didn't actually say it, not literally-like. It was done with the referendum-clinching bus claim - "we didn't actually SAY we would have more money to give the NHS..." And it was certainly done with Farage's 'disturbing' poster. "Racism? Not my fault if people draw the wrong impression from me choosing to have my picture taken in front of a load of swarthy-looking blokes."

There will always be a few people prepared to defend them.

A tweet claiming Farage is suggesting we should deport 3 million Europeans if there's no deal shows a video where Farage DOESN’T suggest at all we should deport 3 million Europeans if there's no deal
More tw@tter dishonesty promoted and shared……..…imagine my shock.

I believe that some of the more awkward decisions on a deal may be pushed back into the first extended EU membership period. (You know, the one called 'Implementation').

Should we have a poll to name the next period after that

Apparently we "overwhelmingly" voted to take back control of our borders, and letting people who are already here stay is willfully ignoring them. Classic Farage weasel talk, classic Fox feeding him and letting him talk bollocks.

On Fox everyone they ever have on just agrees with their narrative. Thankfully Ofcom rules outlaw this kind of gutter broadcast media pedaled by Murdoch and co.

Farage meanwhile has his nose in the trough in Australia on a speaking tour, £60+ a ticket, £160 for a photo.

Says the person who thinks internet security is shutting the door so nobody else can see what they're looking at.Someone too dumb to use a smartphone,so didn't get caught up in all the malware/adware problems stopping people using NSC.In fact,so dumb,they probably caused the problems by visiting dodgy sites.
