It would be like swapping Che for Che.

It was advisory. Cameron made the decision to go with it. People weren’t brainwashed, they were lied to. Farage said clearly that if he had lost he would have continued to fight against the result. People can say ignore it all they like, it happened. I don’t remember any attempts to storm Parliament, do you? The sad thing is that the majority now realise that it was a huge mistake, but us, being compliant cap doffers, mutter behind our curtains and let the damage continue. Even both of the main parties are afraid to mention Brexit in their campaigns because the word has become so toxic. Still, you got what you wanted so all’s good eh?

Watching Glastonbury and I’ve finally seen someone I know. Lulu Yay!

WTF are you talking about? Who refused to accept the Brexit result or Johnson’s election? Don’t you understand that there is a massive difference between not being happy about something and not accepting it. A prime example of someone not accepting something is Donald Trump when he lost to Biden.

I have said something about the Greens. I said that Carla spoke well and I agreed with many of their policies. Have I missed something? Are Momentum a political party with candidates standing at this election? As for xenophobia, best not go there with your record Batman. This Independent you are going to vote for, how does he/she feel about Muslims?

The Supreme Court agreed that Parliament could rule that Rwanda was a safe country to send asylum seekers to. Many agencies disagree which is why it is good that there is a higher court not based here who can look at the situation/legalities away from the UK.

But I don’t. Reform/Farage are constantly all over the news. What would be odd is to ignore why. I know you don’t have a problem with Farage, his politics or the actions of many of his party activists, but many do. Are you voting for Reform?

Why are you so obsessed with my posts? It is an election. We discuss what is going on.The Reform Party is having a massive effect on the Tory vote. It is also full of extremists. It would be odd to ignore what is going on wouldn’t it? Perhaps you would like to share your opinion about what these canvassers have been saying?

It’s a shame that he wasn’t as quick to call out Hester’s racist comments about Diane Abbott. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckmg1mldk0mo.amp

What do you call a man who cheats at golf? Donald Trump

The land grabs on the West Bank continue. https://amp.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/28/israel-destroys-11-homes-in-west-bank-village-amid-spiralling-violence

What is the main driver here? Putin’s expansionism or NATO’s expansionism? https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2022/6/9/putin-likens-self-to-tsar-hints-at-russian-territory-expansion

I thought that he would go to a better club than WHU but if that is what he wants, fair play. Total respect for him staying last season and helping our promotion push.

110 Reform candidates have been dropped or swapped from January of this year. Jeez.

He attracts these people like flies to a steaming turd. The issue here is about the politics of the current Reform Party and the kind of people it attracts. You might recall the Labour campaign under Corbyn and the constant claims of antisemitism? That was all over the media in the same way that these Reform people are now. What is your issue (apart from the fact that you support a party that is catnip to racists and fascists)?

Another dodgy Reform candidate. This one with links to the BNP. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/reform-uk-drops-candidate-revealed-to-have-been-bnp-member/ar-BB1p0cBR?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=3dda2dd9d3f7442daff269af32c15b35&ei=14

Can you describe any expansionism that hasn’t been “aggressive” when it comes to the borders of other countries? How do you stand on invading sovereign nations just because they would rather align with the west than Russia? Think back through history. Where does expansionism and nationalistic fervour end? If you think that Putin is the victim here you really need to speak to people who understand what he is doing. There are certain people who will be condemned in history. You can count on the likes of Trump, Putin and Netanyahu not faring well.

Were they charred?

Ed taking one for the team!

History tells a different story. And it is not a question of our system crumbling, more of a level of scrutiny from outside of our own system. The more complex the issue, the wider the level of experience to deal with it surely helps? Anyway, another example of the sort of people who campaign for Farage. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c10l5qd8p60o.amp Bless you hypo, you are confused. To help you out, would you trust the Tory Party to determine whether Rwanda is a safe country to deport people to or the ECHR? Actually don’t answer that. You would probably think it is ok to send them to Gaza.

At the moment. Who knows what could happen in the future?

It is not for you or I to be satisfied about whether a higher court is needed. The reason is was formed on the first place still stands scrutiny but as you say, we aren’t leaving anyway and it is just another chunk of red meat thrown out to deflect from other matters. No one here gave a stuff about the ECHR until Rwanda.

As has been said, it has nothing to do with the EU. A Supreme Court based here could find itself compromised by a government. The European Court by its very nature is completely independent of possible internal state interference. If you are going to have an overseeing legislative body where total independence of any particular state is crucial, then it makes perfect sense and is why it was formed in the first place. If the state is complying with basic human rights anyway, what does it have to fear from the ECHR? The only people who need to be concerned are those who are allegedly in breech of human rights. What is wrong with that?

I suppose you could have a World Court of Human Rights but you might struggle to go further until we find aliens. Rewind a few years and I wonder how many of these people used to fret over the ECHR and spent time on forums saying we should leave it?
