I've always thought that Ken Clarke was the best Prime Minister we never had.The SNP's leader in Parliament, Ian Blackford, said Dr Lee's defection capped what he said was the "shortest-lived honeymoon period ever" for a new prime minister.
He said his party was ready for a general election at any time.
Last-ditch efforts to get the Tory rebels on side have been taking place, but BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said the meeting between the prime minister and the group earlier went "less than swimmingly" and was "less than cordial".
There are thought to be about 15 confirmed rebels.
The government had hoped the threat of an election - and of deselection and expulsion from the party - would be enough to bring them into line.
But veteran Tory Ken Clarke, one of those set to rebel later, said the PM's strategy was to "set conditions which make no deal inevitable, to make sure as much blame as possible is attached to the EU, and as quickly as he can fight a flag-waving election before the consequences of a no deal become too obvious to the public".

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Agreeing with StA on this just shows how much of a dumbass you are. Parroting his talking points makes you look even dumber than you usually make yourself look. When the dunces are lined up in a conspiracy against me, I'm probably doing something right.Montegriffo wrote: Tue Sep 03, 2019 8:42 amNope, Hastur addressed my opinion but all you have done is spam up the thread with tired old cliches and brags about how your opinion is the best opinion, as per usual.StCapps wrote: Tue Sep 03, 2019 8:28 amI have addressed your opinions plenty already, you just have the memory of a goldfish and think I only ever said BDS.

There you go again, failing to address an opinion you don't like and going for straight to BDS.
You could almost call it spam.
StA is right, you rarely bring any original content to the table.
I shall not respond to any more of your spam.

Re: Greece vs Rome, with Boris Johnson and Mary Beard
Boris may not be the person you think he is...
https://www.theweek.co.uk/brexit/102290 ... ter-brexitBoris Johnson is already drawing the ire of many right-leaning members of his party by opening up the possibility of an amnesty for 500,000 illegal immigrants in the UK.The UK’s new prime minister has also confirmed that he intends to scrap Theresa May’s net migration target of 100,000 a year. The prime minister’s official spokesperson said that Johnson “wasn’t interested in a numbers game”.Some welcomed the move. Matthew Fell, CBI chief UK policy director, told the Financial Times: “Scrapping the net migration target is hugely welcome and sends a decisive signal to the world that the UK is open for business.”
Others were more sceptical. Alp Mehmet, chairman of anti-immigration think-tank Migration Watch, told The Sun: “The idea of an amnesty for illegal immigrants is a non-starter.
“Such a scheme will reward people with no right to be here, encourage future illegality and will be costly.”

He seemed like a globalist cuck going in. Saw that coming from ten miles away, over the horizon.

So was Maggie. I don't recall you holding it against her.Speaker to Animals wrote: Tue Sep 03, 2019 2:44 pm He seemed like a globalist cuck going in. Saw that coming from ten miles away, over the horizon.
This was, famously, her opinion on globalisation.There is no alternative
Hence closing the British coal industry down in favour of cheaper (Chinese) imports. She did the same to the shipbuilding, steel and manufacturing industries.
In the UK, the most fervent opposition to globalisation has traditionally come from the left. Workers being the main victims and the heads of industry and banking being the beneficiaries.

Re: Greece vs Rome, with Boris Johnson and Mary Beard
Ironic really since he consistently voted against May's government.
The Rebel Alliance has won.
It's the return of the Jedi, balance is returned to the Force.
The no-deal death star has been destroyed.
