That's the price you pay for living in a democracy, people not enjoying decisions made by the majority.......was it ever thus?
It's a pity nobody bothered to ask us if we wanted to join the EU in the first place.

From the comments on here this morning it sounds like O'Brian's slipped back into his old (44 year old ) self.
That supposed b*ll*cking he got from management obviously didn't last long.
Confirmation bias.

I don't recall anybody promising the act of disentangling ourselves from the coils of the EU was going to be easy. I look upon as a kind of chemo-therapy. unpleasant while it's happening but resulting in freedom from an unpleasant disease.

I also have a theory that at the end of the two year period after A50 is triggered, and the Remoaners start clamouring for a referendum to vote on the results of the negotiations, that the EU will be in such a parlous state that nobody in their right mind would vote to remain anyway. That's if it hasn't imploded, after going round in ever-decreasing circles before disappearing up its own you-know-what!
With O'Brien as the relative giving an uninformed ignorant ongoing commentary

'Look, he's lost his hair, he's going bald, why didn't they tell us this might happen'


'He's losing weight, look at him, his clothes don't fit. They fitted him perfectly before, who thinks doing this is a good idea'

With Brexit we’re headed for disaster . . . how’s that for ‘pouring bile into the ears of ‘ill-informed’ people. (JOB’s trailer for his programme this morning).

DISASTER? This sounds like word use of the kind that gives us vox pops where someone speaks of their DEVASTATION over the slightest sort of personal set back.

Lack of ongoing improvement in people’s incomes. Why is it assumed by JOB that we should in the West get steadily more affluent with each passing year? Most importantly in this context, consider the effects of globalisation in depressing the profitability of English businesses and the wage expectations of workers as a result of greatly increased competition from foreign sources.

Yes, there may be costs associated with leaving the EU, but they are worth it to us as a nation and as individuals, especially in the longer run. And all the current angst is based on focus on our financial health and ability to trade successfully – what about Europe’s? There is at present a very notable lack of coverage here of the EU’s problems with impending ‘leavers’, national economies and banks on the brink and a changing political climate in which LibFascism’s grip is now withering – with that the fad for a federal continent will die too. Check back a year from now any worried remainers!
if he want to over turn a vote , then he is no better then PUTIN

I voted remain in '75. I voted to stay in the European Community known as the Common Market. It was sold to us as a mutually beneficial trading partnership. Nobody mentioned that it would evolve into a potential superstate, with the erosion of our sovereignty and independence caused by the Single European Act and the Maastricht and Lisbon Treaties. We were not given opportunities to vote on any of those.

Poor old Iain is flabbergasted by someone being picked on and punched because of where they come from.

Poor old lamb supports West Ham does he not? You get smacked in the gob there for having the wrong type of London accent for God's sake.

As a Manchester United fan I can promise you that there is likely to be a fracas if one speaks with a Scouse or Manc accent in the wrong company - it is nothing to do with north or south.

As long as he was not as boring as lamb, I doubt anyone would care.

As long as it's not Darren Gough, it might work.

JOB kept it going for a full 18 minutes.........still moaning, still ranting, still not actually getting that it's called DEMOCRACY
But, with Blair, Major and Farage all demanding a 2nd referendum the pressure will become irresistible, surely.

Surprised Farage wanting a second referendum. What if it went the other way?

HE said we are going to lose a lot due to leaving the EU . well tell that to familys who are in BBs and already have nothing.
the reason that people are in bb's is not because of the eu nor immigration but the fact that all governments have preferred short term bribes than long term solutions. blame the electorate for voting them in. the rate of immigration has been a fairly steady 0.4% / year over the last 40 years.

TONY B dont want to leave the EU because he dont want to lose hes gravy train . must never over turn a vote as once that door been open no one will know where it will end up .anyway have turned him off and got bbc radio 5 live on now
since when has tony ever done anything for anyone other than himself.

The paper reported if you can call it reporting that Jo Cox didn't help Mair stay in his house when he asked her.
Now why on earth should any MP help a single man stay in a three bedroom house when it was needed for a family?
The not so subtle inference from the Mail is that Jo Cox favoured immigrants over Mair and that's why she didn't help him.
this was never brought up in court by the defence or anyone else. why not if it was a contributing factor rather than his deep links with south african - american - european and uk fascistic orgs.

Job was telling some tall tales this morning.

apparently he has a very very very very rich friend who lives in rochdale who went to a very very very vip event and this friend of JoB's was in a room with a couple of traders one of whom was wearing a very very very expensive watch and was showing it to his trader friend.

now JoB's mate is so very very rich that he has more money than the two traders put together but he doesnt wear it, well he wears it lightly on his shoulders. salt of the earth he is, salt of the earth i say. well all he was wearing was a swatch , a throwaway watch .. and JoB's friend asked the trader what the time was , then looked at his own watch and guess what the time was the same.

all this to prove that JoB is happy with his iphone 4 and is very very careful with his money. because a phone is a phone.

however as we all know these very very very expensive watches are investments not throwaway items, they generally dont depreciate greatly if at all. its the same as JoB and his stash of Marmite and Gold bars really.

My thoughts exactly, but we know who signed the SEA which started the ball rolling.
