Well ok, there is the moderately widespread term "Inselaffen" in German, and maybe other languages have similar terms to describe UK citizens, but that's more of an endearing term really. It's because we love you, not because we consider you weird ass monkeys or anything like that. A little bit peculiar at times maybe with your courtroom wigs, boar in peppermint sauce, driving on what is clearly the wrong lane, sports that have a tea break and the use of imperial units. Nonetheless, the UK and its citizens are held in very high regards for consistently and greatly contributing towards human development over many centuries. | |||

Just wondering, does "taking back control" mean politicising the judiciary and turning judges into yes men? And blaming foreigners for everything perceived to be wrong in society? There's a precedent for that.

My fear is we now get half Brexit. Establishment will try and lock us inside single market. Would be a total betrayal! https://twitter.com/Nigel_Farage/status/794459871831851008 | |||

What about the leaflets the Remain side posted around nearly every household in
the country explaining about the consequences of coming out & benefits of staying in the EU? They even cheated by spending more than they were allowed on that little project | |||

they were all lying
have the vote again ? | |||

By:
Leaflets mean nothing. Chances are the judges never even saw them. If we were to take every politician's promise of manifesto pledge at face value then the courts would be full of MPs being sued.
Just doesn't matter. The law is the law; and that's all the 3 judges looked at. | |||

The Conservative MP whose shock resignation has plunged Theresa May into a ‘Brexit by-election’ told friends his party had become “Ukip-lite”, it has been claimed.
Stephen Phillips stunned Westminster by quitting immediately as an MP, blaming “irreconcilable policy differences” between himself and the Government for his decision. He recently accused Ms May of “tyranny” by planning to ignore Parliament when she triggers the Article 50 notice for leaving the EU – despite backing Brexit himself. No.10’s determination to try to overturn this week’s decisive High Court ruling that MPs and peers must first give their consent – by appealing to the Supreme Court – was said to be the “final straw”. Mr Phillips had also spoken out against the dangers to the economy of a ‘hard Brexit’ supporting continued membership of the single market. However, the now-departed MP for Sleaford and North Hykeham, in Lincolnshire is also known to have been deeply unhappy about other aspects of Ms May’s premiership. Friends said he was also highly critical of the Government’s harsh stance on child refugees and its plans to effectively cut international aid, by switching some to attempts to bolster post-Brexit trade. One told Sky News that Mr Phillips believed the Conservatives now had “Ukip-lite" values, adding: “This is not the basis upon which he stood as an MP.” Jon Trickett, Labour’s national campaign co-ordinator, said: “Losing one Tory MP in a resignation over her policies may have been a misfortune when Mr Cameron stood down. “To lose a second one over her Heathrow policy was a significant blow. But now to lose a third only a fortnight later over Brexit amounts to a leadership crisis.” And Liberal Democrat Party President Sal Brinton said: “I think there will be many backbench Conservative MPs who are feeling the same about this Conservative Brexit Government today.” In a brief resignation statement, which answered few questions, Mr Phillips wrote: “It has become clear to me, over the last few months, that my growing and very significant policy differences with the current Government mean I am unable to properly represent the people who elected me. “This decision has been a difficult one and I hope that everyone will respect the fact that I have tried to act in the best interests of all my constituents.” Despite the blow to Ms May, the Tories will be strong favourites to win again, as they enjoyed a whopping majority of 24,115 over Labour last year, with Ukip a close third – in a strongly pro-Leave seat. Nigel Farage appeared to scotch suggestions that he might be the Ukip candidate in the by-election expected last month – but leadership contender Suzanne Evans said she would attempt to be. Mr Phillips’ friends also made known that he had informed Downing Street on Wednesday of his intention to resign, before the decision to appeal to the Supreme Court. He had not met the Prime Minister over the threat, but had turned down repeated requests by Conservative whips for a meeting. A Conservative party spokesman said: “Stephen Phillips has been a valuable member of parliament since 2010 and we are sorry that he has chosen to step down. We thank him for his hard work and we wish him every success in the future A tory with some morals goodman nice to see..![]() ![]() | |||

Do not be fooled by Corbyn and the Labour Party when they say they want to maintain the single market. They don't, what they want is to maintain immigration. This is their motive and the only one but Corbyn is a very tricky and devious individual and is surrounded by sinister colleagues, they know they mustn't be clear on their true motives.

Sinister dear me, when has Jeremy said he hates England and the Monarchy , in fact I heard say on I think the queens 90th that she was wonderful and had done fantastic public service for the country

By:
yes he was very civil, he speaks softly. he is being very civil and speaking even more softly now on this issue.
but civility is not welcome as far as I am concerned, because look at his views on the monarchy, what would he do. look at his views on the referendum result and what would he do. do not trust Corbyn and labour when they speak softly, they don't deserve to be trusted when they do. | |||
