Johnson : EU migrants have been able to " treat the EU as if it's part of their own country" for too long.
Think about that statement mate.
Think long and hard about it.
Stop looking the other way.

Well let’s look at some of the policies

Brexit , clear policy from the tories , fuxk knows from labour , get a new deal but campaign against that deal ?!

immigration : tories clear Aussie style points system v labour again not a clue probably some bland statement saying all immigrants are welcome but we will control immigration at the same time but not how

tax : actually I am not too bothered here labours policy isn’t as harsh as it could have been

nationalisation : no why ? Don’t want that there are more important things to spend money on in the country

free broadband for all : no again why - all?

front bench : Abbott and thornberry no thanks

I was asking you about Johnson's statement on EU migrants treating the UK as their home and you suddenly went off on a whataboutery bender.
PS Front bench : Patel and Raaaaaab no thanks.

One things for sure once the Tories get back in the economy is not going to improve.
Poverty and homelessness will increase except it won't just be single blokes begging ,it will be women and children.
The Tories solution?
Bring back the workhouse ( renamed and repackaged of course).
Raaaaaaaab was formerly a member of a Facebook group calling for this.
The building construction will be funded by the Government at taxpayer's expenses under contracts let to building companies who will make a killing for their bosses and shareholders.
The rules of the workhouse will be similar to those in Victorian times - conditions should better than being on the street but harsh enough to force people back into the outside world and so forced work will be introduced ( the modern day equivalent of rope making for example, the treadmill even) and there will be strict segregation of families. Maybe the elderly could be housed in there rather than care homes?
Think this is a bit far fetched? Well who would have predicted hundreds of food banks ten years ago?
And then what about the new Tory working class voters, still in their shitty low paid jobs?
Well the trick there will be to repeat the mantra ' you're better in work than out' . This is already the Tory message and while it may have some validity in the short term , in the long term it becomes a major problem as the real aspiration has to be well paid work in skilled jobs.
The next Tory priority will be to seek scapegoats for the impoverished state of the country. These will be the usual suspects - immigrants,foreigners, EU, Labour, LGBT communities, religious minorities, travellers ( this has already started),the work-shy ( remember Osborne's twitching curtains jibe). It doesn't matter who as long as sufficient hatred can be whipped up to form a focal point for people's anger to serve as a distraction.
Welcome to the new Britain.
Brexit Britain.
Britain fired by the Tories.
Too late to pull it back now, the string's broke.

You think the economy will improve under Labour?
ROFL.

Nah, let's mention the Tory debt shall we.
It's 1.8 trillion currently and it's been doubled in the last nine years by the party of 'economic competence'.
It should have been about 1.2 trillion now if their economic target back in 2010 of eliminating the deficit had been met but they err... failed miserably.
Oh and now austerity is off the table and no one's really sure whether it was ever necessary or just a big Tory mistake ( BoJo's trying to dissociate himself from it given his new found voter base), the Tories are going to let the deficit rip again with consequential further increase in the national debt.
Fcuk knows what will happen if we hit another recession ( one is due if only in the normal cycle of things), then maybe it will be Austerity Mark 2 with appropriate blame on migrants, travellers,immigrants etc to deflect.
Even worse three beema man might have to get rid of one.
I'm sure he'd do you a good deal while taking the piss.

Let me just get this straight. You are saying "Tories ????????? are going to let the deficit rip again with consequential further increase in the national debt"??? You need a padded cell mate, you really do.

It also highlights something else.That wealthy remainers will put their economic interest above their thoughts on Brexit. Whereas poorer leavers will wilfully ignore their economic interests just to get Brexit done.

Blunt - but I agree

So if you are a Brexit supporter that seems like a 'win win'

How about answer my question directly?

Utterly pathetic from you today.

It was you struggling yesterday trying to grasp how a hung Parliament de-radicalises Labour? Yes, it was, despite Len and I trying our best, you couldn't grasp it.

Well, I understand now, there's no malice in you, you're just relentlessly dim, you can't grasp this either.

Johnson's WA got through, then yet another remainer, Letwin, stymied it with yet another spanner in the works.
At that stage, Johnson, plus everyone who had seen their shenanigans one time too often, lost patience.
Labour, on hearing the news that looks like their demise, also frantically tried to get kids and foreigners to vote, thankfully, it
was thrown out.
We voted for Brexit three and a half years ago and have watched in ever mounting frustration as a remain dominated
parliament, groups of democracy deniers,and the likes of that arsehole with nothing better to do than adorn himself in EU fancy dress and scream
NO BREXIT at everyone, trying their level best to kill off our vote.
This GE is the reckoning.

No. Letwin did not. All Letwin did was remove the possibility of a no deal Brexit. Letwin then voted to pass the WA. Parliament, after two and half years of negotiations, approved the WA for second reading and to pave the way to pass the necessary legislation. Johnson nixed it because he didn’t want any meaningful scrutiny as proscribed by law of the legislation or what the WA does to NI.

Johnson wanted to bypass the law on scrutiny. Johnson does not want to talk about Brexit in the election other than it is ‘oven ready’ done. It isn’t oven ready done. It’s still running round the farmyard with its head cut off. I get that you guys want a fact free Brexit and if Brexit just means legally leaving the EU and signing up for everything else to meet the 11 month deadline than I’m on board. Toot, toot.
