One of the nicest little touches today was when she sarcastically "thanked" the producers for putting through a caller who waffled on too much and bored her. I know this is at the caller's expense a little bit, but when you call up there is always a chance that something like that will happen to you. It sort of goes with the territory.”
nothing amusing about someone in a position to influence 'othering' and inciting against muslims at a time when hate crimes are on the rise.

This means we will fall back on WTO rules for a decade at least.
Given England and Wales's rather reduced skillset in such matters, and the length of time required to negotiate such things, it will take us 25 years minimum just to get back to where we are now.
And when we do get there, our influence and size means ithe agreements will be less favourable than now.
Nothing much 'exciting' awaits us in the cold light of day, which is why I believe another referendum will be put to the people in some form. A more pragmatic outcome should then prevail.”
there'll not be a brexit. we'll be in whilst being out. on the slim chance there is a brexit we'll be a corporatocracy more so than we are at present.

I'm sure she would make the country great again. Sort of a Donald Trump type but with with better legs.”
trump is being accused of 'borrowing' yet again from 'nazi' memes in the same way the brexit camp did here during the eu ref. kt hopkins is a great fan of both trump and brexit.

I don't think he is genuine. I think if he won power he'd backtrack on many of his pledges.”
hes said he'd honour brexit. of all the politicians brexit or not he is about the only one who would in reality complete the task.
