    After everything that has happened recently, particularly the Brexit vote, the people that are elected by the great British public STILL do not 'get' what it is all about. They STILL think that they know better than the voters, and clearly there is also a will to go against democracy.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37639307 - they can say what they like, but the only reason that they would mount a legal challenge of this sort is because they want to throw a spanner in the works and stop the Brexit process..... AGAINST the will of the voters.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-37634338 - and we all knew it was only a matter of time before this wee nyaff started her nonsense again. Proof positive that the SNP had absolutely no intention of following the instruction given by the public at the last referendum.

    I swear they are all like petty children - they didn't get the answer they wanted, so are going to keep nagging away to try and get their way. Shower of shite, the lot of them. :mad:

      I've been thinking more and more recently.
      Will Brexit ever really happen?

        Truthfully, I doubt it. I reckon we are more likely to see WW3 kick off shortly which will over-ride the whole thing. I just hope Putin aims for Staines when he hits the button, at least that way I won't know anything about it.

          Yep, good old Boris seems to be sticking his oar in.
          Does he know what he is doing, I very much doubt, just thinks he is making the right noises regarding Syria.
          If they hit Staines it will probably spread this way, so no worries.

            Mr Putins military has far superior weaponary than the US and the UK is a joke militarily,yet we continue to pick a fight with Russia. Russia has been advising its citizens to return home recently and moving its forces into a war ready formation.
            If we keep poking the bear with a stick it will eventually bite back and we will die,end of,so our badly educated and ill informed politicians had better be careful as theres no way back from a fight with Russia.

            An example of this was a US aircraft carrier in the black sea recently getting a hostile fly past from Russian fighter jets. The Americans complained about the Russians being "hostile".
            The Russian response was that they were defending their territory that was just 5 miles from this threatening aircraft carrier and the US warship was thousands of miles away from its own waters. So who was the aggressor?

              Whatever happens I just hope that Donald Trump doesn't get elected President of the USA.

              He has got to be the most disgusting low life ever.

                That's because the Russians had the audacity to not let the yanks do whatever they please.

                Hostile Russians eh. They're naughty aren't they. I mean, look at how many times they've launched military strikes in the middle east. And what about when those naughty Russians became the first and only nation to use a nuclear bomb, on civilians, and then did it again 2 days later.

                Oh no wait. That wasn't the Russians was it. It was the yanks.

                Those heroic yanks not naughty at all. Look at how many times they've liberated people in the middle east. Or how they brought a horrible war to a swift end saving millions of lives by using carefully planned nuclear strikes. Good old yanks. Naughty Russians.
