They wouldn't. Revoking article 50 would only become a complicated legal process if the EU opposed it. I think. We won't get a deal with the EU so it will be hard Brexit or nothing. Will be interesting to see how that goes.
-
I think it would be no problem if the EU backed it, but that would be to stay in not just delay exit I expect.
-
Over 500,000 people at the last count. I'm well chuffed with the election result so it's not a case of being a sore loser, I just think the current system is outdated.
-
No chance of that. Europe want to give us a kicking and it only takes one of the 27 to veto it for no extension.
-
And the Green Party get 1 MP from 524,604 votes. The SNP get 35 MPs from 977,569 votes. How can anyone possibly say we have a good electoral system? I wonder how many more, like me, would have voted Green if they thought the vote would actually count?

True, more people could go to Labour if they sort their leader out. there is obviously a big generational issue. Loads of old people clinging onto wealth they think they have earned while the young suffer and pay for the oldies debts.

Future looks red to me.
-
Conservatives are the largest party but it would be interesting to see what percentage of the popular vote went to left wing parties (Labour, lim dem, snp, greens and PC) as opposed to right wing (Tory and UKIP).
-
The UK will be independent regardless of who you voted for this election.
-
Corbyn has done well but with a David Milliband or similar in charge and a slight shift to the right they would have walked this election.
-
You have wonder what the result would have been if Labour had an electable leader. Tories are a complete mess if this is all they could manage against an IRA supporting Marxist.
-
I guess the remain marginals will be key. Would ****ed off Tory remainers bother to vote?
-
Lib Dems will make a second referendum a must for any coalition.
-
Polls are always wrong
-
I can't see the exit poll being right, I think there will be a lot of weird results.
-
Could it be Corbyn PM in lib, lab snp coalition?
-
****ing brilliant if they lose majority
-
Agree with every word of this. The red v blue ****** is what ****es me off the most, we have a straight choice between a bunch of ****s and a bunch of idiots, with May winning because she's not quite as bad as the other candidate. problem is we will never have change because the parties that hold the power don't want it.
-
Great news that he's not going to those scouse ****s.
-
Politician in lying shocker!
-
I can see the Tories getting over a 100 seat majority. The sooner this pointless election is out of the way the better, the last month should have been spent negotiating with European leaders not dicking about campaigning for an election that was only called to benefit the Conservative party. At least there can be no excuses from May now if we don't get a good deal on Brexit. If it all goes tits up its 100% a Tory **** up.

Terrorist Attacks - WARNING: CONTAINS DISTRESSING IMAGES

In their opinion. Other Muslims obviously think his interpretation is distorted by western values and their more extreme form is the purest interpretation. -
Terrorist Attacks - WARNING: CONTAINS DISTRESSING IMAGES
aintforever replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
I don't doubt anything he says but still question the logic of getting rid of so many officers at a time when there is an ever increasing threat. The terrorists all seem to be on the security services radar yet there is nowhere near enough resources to keep track of them all - yet we are reducing the amount of police - madness. -
Terrorist Attacks - WARNING: CONTAINS DISTRESSING IMAGES

Sounds like the usual Tory bull**** to me, I would take more notice of the former counter-terrorism chief to be honest. "A former counter-terrorism chief has lambasted Theresa May’s “endless cuts” to police numbers and warned that the London Bridge attack should make all politicians “reflect” on the damage done by austerity. Jim Gamble, the former head of Special Branch in Belfast, accused the Prime Minister of trying to “asset strip the critical services who in times of trouble make the real difference”. Blogging for HuffPost UK, Gamble – who also headed the police’s national online child protection unit – was scathing about May’s record as Home Secretary, when she oversaw the loss of 20,000 police jobs. A former police head of counter-terrorism in Belfast, and deputy director general of the National Crime Squard, Gamble said that May had claimed for too long that the police could ‘do more with less’. “No matter how you cut it, no matter what spin you put on diversification of resource or doing things differently, there are 20,000 fewer police now than there were in 2010,” he wrote in his blog. “That’s fewer eyes and ears on the street, fewer ‘bobbies’ building relationships, community confidence and critically creating that visible reassurance and deterrence that is key at times like this." They had an expert on radio 5 yesterday saying Community Policing is vital in preventing these sort of attacks and they have been cut as well. These officers are the eye and ears of the force. How can we expect the muslim communities to come onside if the only time they see a copper he is kicking a neighbours door down or stopping and searching someone? -

I'm sorry, but even though they have improved tactics and training they should still not cut numbers. In any occupation things improve, get more efficient over time. The threat is growing, we have mass immigration and a growing population - numbers should be increasing even with the better training and tactics.
