real reason for HS2 to be extended to that area!
Then take our fisheries back and the north should then be
set up for success!
These are all dreams! but if you dont dream you will have no
aims?
What do you think?
By the way! Your avatar has changed?

Best Regards Donkeyman!
Just in a gym toilet right now, Donkeyman. Be back soon bud

Re: The European Election: Results

Hi

I have been watching our Politicians on TV this morning.

Still the same old, same old.

They are still not listening and treating us as idiots.

Re: The European Election: Results

Somehow the BBC has interpreted the result as a vote for another referendum.

A major thing I can see happening is an end to the North-South divide which needs to be wiped out. If Farage has been totally focused on his campaigning being mostly in Northern counties, why not have a parliament based away from London, somewhere in the middle? Manchester would be ideal perhaps.

It was said today that Theresa May had good intentions and promised so much but actually delivered absolutely nothing. Incompetent is not the word, she is hopeless. I wouldn't even give her a job washing my car.
You make several very important points.

The Conservatives are probably finished now, even with a new PM. Whilst they are still in government, they should now state quite clearly that they will take us out of the EU without a deal. If they cannot do that, or if they are still opposed by a majority in the Commons, then the time is right for an early GE and the EU election results will be fresh in people's minds.

The two main recipients of EU votes are the Brexit Party and the Limp Dems. These two quite clearly represent the leave/remain votes, with the former clearly in the lead.

As for a relocation of Parliament from London to the North, I think that would be sensible. Bearing in mind how Londonistan is no longer properly British, how can it continue to be the seat of government? Rather than Manchester, though, I'd prefer Leeds!

As for the Maybot, I bet that right now she's having a good cry whilst looking at those dismal figures showing exactly what she's brought about as PM.

Indeed. Both she and Farage are excellent speakers.

However, I don't think we've seen the last of them; they are too stupid to realise that they've lost and they'll continue to spout their usual rubbish that they're winning.

This was immediately pounced upon by much of the media to state we must now have another referendum.

And why must the BBC wheel out same old moaners Campbell, Clarke and Hestletine. I have visions of them continually contacting the BBC to say they wish to come on and speak.

They voted for other peoples parties ....

If they feel that strongly they should leave the parties they are members of and join the lib dems. They are lying to themselves and fooling the public again...
