Its all about fake news these days Bob and if you peddle it, you have to expect to be called out on it ;-)

That post sent us into fever pitch!
I fell for Fake News a few years ago when I was promised by the Remain campaign, led by the Prime Minister and the Chancellor, that leaving meant leaving the single market, the customs union, the CAP, the Common Fisheries Policy, the political union, and everything else that conceivably has anything to do with the EU.

Yeah but Vote Leave didn't mention it, so it doesn't count.
 
Not sure if this has already been answered but. If Boris doesn’t get the backstop removed and parliament doesn’t approve a no deal on 31st Oct. what happens?

If Boris doesn’t ask for an extension, which he won’t by the sounds of it, do we just leave anyway if he just does nothing?
If it's going that way, Parliament votes to ask for an extension. Boris tries to pretend this is not a vote of confidence. The EU says they'll take Parliament as the sovereign body of the UK, not some trumped-up mandate-less PM who can't command a majority, and says you've got an extension. How about three years, to make sure you have to have a GE?

Just for the record, what did you make of the Leave promise that we'd still be in a free trade zone from Iceland to the Russian border?
 
Yep, anything on twitter is fake news, even when the Newcastle Chronicle has the same story.

Oh well why didn't you say earlier Vic.............................................................................................................................................

Leave weren’t in any position to make promises, as an adult I understood that, however both the Prime Minister and the Chancellor were.
 
I was 60/40 to leave before the Cameron Reforms with Tusk. It was the result of that that made me realise that the EU was heading in a direction neither I nor the UK wanted it to go in. Forced my hand, really. The EU's discussions haven't done much to endear me to want to remain. An EU Navy now, you say...?
I'm never sure if you're being serious or just doing knockabout anti-EU stuff.
The suggestion came from the UK government for a Europe-led maritime force to protect shipping in the Gulf.

(There is a European Maritime Force but that's just co-operation between four states.)

I assumed you'd missed it. Come on now, if it weren't for Twitter how would you know how much of an idiot sits in the White House tweeting?

So why did they make them?

(And what's happened to Gove? Last month he was against No Deal because it went against that promise, and now it's of no consequence. I can only guarantee this - no-one in the media will ask him.)

My only interactions with twitter are because they are constantly reposted on here unfortunately.

Im old fashioned in that if i want to eat Chinese food i wont turn up at the Indian and expect to get it.
