New speech on Brexit

Theresa May is to travel to Florence next week to deliver a speech all about Brexit. Florence - a lovely city, the home of Niccolo' Macciavelli

"Machiavellianism" is a widely used negative term to characterize unscrupulous politicians of the sort Machiavelli described most famously in The Prince. Machiavelli described immoral behavior, such as dishonesty and killing innocents, as being normal and effective in politics. He even seemed to endorse it in some situations.

Hi

You are behind the times UJ.

Firstly, I have already posted this in the Brexit Section.

Secondly, Machiavellianism has been renamed Corbynism.

Hi

Juncker can say what he wants, it has to be agreed by his Political Masters.

At the present time not one EU Country is breaking ranks over Brexit.

They are playing the game well, starting a serious push for Trade Negotiations with Australia and New Zealand, tying up the Trade Deal with Japan and cutting the UK out.

Re: New speech on Brexit

The definition of Macciavelianism is a very apt description of Theresa May and her scumbag 'nasty party' - suits her down to the ground:

"Machiavellianism" is a widely used negative term to characterize unscrupulous politicians of the sort Machiavelli described most famously in The Prince. Machiavelli described immoral behavior, such as dishonesty and killing innocents, as being normal and effective in politics. He even seemed to endorse it in some situations.

Nope, not at all.

When Maggie came in I lost my job. Dewhurst as it was then closed the Slaughterhouse I was working in.

Got a job the next day, 70 miles away, loads of travelling for a 5am start.

The Berlin Wall came down, so the other part of my job disappeared, part of the Peace Process.

Did I moan like you?

Nope, got on with life and made a success of it.

I was certified as unfit for work for the rest of my life and unable to walk again.

Sod that for a game of Marbles.

It was hard, but I did it.

Many sacrifices along the way, many hours worked to provide for my family.

I now have a Pension of £30 k a year after tax, Index Linked for the rest of my life.

I can earn another £ 45k a year without affecting it for 16 hours a week.

I choose not to to, I prefer to spend my time helping those in need, free of charge.

So put up or shut up Purwell, Maggie had nothing to do with your situation, it was entirely your own decision.

So stop whinging and get on with it
