Happy New Year little fella!

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jan/10/ex-brexit-minister-to-put-pressure-on-may-with-new-deal-proposal Steve Baker is proper hard.

Because his argument is a red herring and wilfully misses the woods for the trees. The Nazi taunt is neither here nor there. The Nazi taunt is crude and historically illiterate but people are free to be crude and historically illiterate in a liberal society. Call people a Nazi online; shout it behind a cordon; hold up banners with swastikas on them whatever; but when you also get physically up close to someone and, in many people's book, are aggressive and threatening, then it’s a different matter. And that applies to any abuse. Needless to say, many of the ‘regressive leftists’ who appear to live rent-free in your head have paid more attention to the delivery than the content of the abuse. See Bercow’s statement or Adonis exchange with O’Neill. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-46794443/mp-harassment-frankly-intolerable O’Neill is a surly and shallow contrarian. I would have had more respect for him if he had cut to the chase and attempted to argue that the protestors behaviour wasn’t aggressive or threatening rather than obfuscate by answering a question that nobody’s really asking.

Some good memories but think he'll always be a player who'll flatter to deceive.

At an rate, an EU army is such a vague concept -is it greater joined up thinking on procurement to exploit economies of scale, discrete cooperation on local issues such as the migration crisis or the abolition of national armies across all spheres to serve under one EU-wide force? Anyone claiming the latter is going to happen anytime soon, if at all, -and thats usually the implication from the swivels- is either a bit simple or plain disingenuous.

You'd hope with the passage of time the usual oddballs would learn the difference between free speech and physical intimidation. Alas no

Like the 80m Turks coming to the UK?

I hear MLG found Jesus. And Sour Mash found Allah.

Is Les going to get one of those knocks on the door like Glasgow did in Gulygate?

Please do pal. Everyone can point and laugh at you again

Still propagating antisemitic tropes, chump?

Remember this is the same Calais port boss who was being denigrated only last year by the swivels for claiming that a No Deal could result in tailbacks up to 30 miles in all directions and potential food shortages in the UK. Now the smelly little Frenchman is the hero of the hour. Which is it lads? Needless to say, if I was Calais boss, I would feel a tad aggrieved if the UK government was seeking to divert business away from my port, awarding millions to cowboys who don’t have any ships and are all geared up to deliver pizzas and chicken strips. And ultimately none of this changes EU law with respect to third countries - a Calais port official has no authority to alter EU law or unilaterally relax custom or sanitary and phytosanitary controls. Anyway we'll see. About time that German car manufacturers and Italian prosecco producers made a cameo performance

That Southampton largely handles liquid bulk and Dover is the UK's busiest ro-ro port are all facts. Keep up pal

Once again the forum simpleton shows he doesn’t understand the difference between the unemployment rate and ratio and the importance of looking at both in context.

Oh dear Cabbage Face is getting owned again - not just owned but handcuffed, chained to a chair, hidden in the basement and Tyson Fury is putting on his gimp mask. #mess

Goa’s focus groups in China are already reaping rewards.

Not really. You’re just transparently easy to read and boringly predictable. I’ve no issue with the Nazi jibe (as repeated before); but I can perfectly understand why she would feel physically intimidated despite her bluff and bluster (see the video from three weeks ago). This is especially the case when you consider that she’s been subject to numerous death threats. The gammon in yellow vests perfectly know what they’re doing - hence why calling Soubry a Nazi by tweet or online would never have the same effect.

There’s a gap in the market. Maybe you could reprise your fake female alter ego pal.

I couldn’t give two f**ks about the Nazi label -other than it being historically literate. That it’s uttered by far right cretins only makes it more thick and pig ignorant. By contrast, gender clearly does matter, especially when there’s an undercurrent of physical intimidation. It’s out of order, whether it’s directed Anna Soubry or Kate Hoey (though as far as I know Hoey hasn’t been subject to the same abuse).

Soubry is a woman. Farage can more than handle themselves. So can prominent remainers like Alastair Campbell who’ve also received plenty of abuse.

Bit different when you’ve got a man twice your size, foaming at the mouth, shouting it in your face.

He didn’t think his apu avatar quite hit the spot enough.

Don’t be a moron.

Yep very apt. This is the same Les who glowingly cited a brexitcentral article - it’s central claim was that UK PLC exports to the rest of the world had boomed since the referendum. In fact the official data actually showed that exports to the EU had grown faster over the same period. You might think that Les would have the intelligence and humility to revise his views in light of conflicting evidence but no instead he runs away, refuses to engage and later reappears only to have doubled down on his priors. The very definition of a swivel-eyed ideologue.
