Is the Labour movement’s formal position on Brexit (like a patient leaflet for an incurable disease) ‘you can learn to live with it’?
But it is an ideology adopted by both the EU and the US, that is my point. The EU has a number of measures, like taxation, to mitigate against the worst excesses of that ideology while the US is already at the point of rampant privatisation on no public services. Having left the EU to escape EU those imposed safety measures the UK is now very much heading for the US interpretation.But is it an ideology adopted by the EU? I would say that the UK is moving away from the EU and closer to the US in that respect. But I am only another one of those bloody EU foreigners living in England.

Is there any polling data on members’ views on Brexit or is that the question that dare not speak its name? I’m trying to think of an issue as radioactive that has caused this much damage to the Cons, Lab and LD.Labour has a position? On anything?
The basic tenets of the monetarist economic are in the EU economic controls on government spending, deficit ceilings and debt to GDP ratios and the notion that government money comes from revenueI don't think that the EU did adopt it. I'd like to see your reasoning.
I am no longer a member of the Labour Party so I can’t answer that question, but the about Party has quite explicitly marginalised the voice of the membership over that last few years, so no matter how loud the voice, it won’t count.Is there any polling data on members’ views on Brexit or is that the question that dare not speak its name?

Divide and conquer.
The 0.1% divert the attention of the 99.9% by setting them against each other. Brexit vs Remain, White vs Brown, poor vs middle class. While this is going on the 0.1% and their political enablers quietly carry on embezzling the wealth of the nation. Brexit voters have been their useful idiots.
No, it started with your notion of “common good”.
If you are now arguing for restoring our relationship with the EU, that is a different argument, and frankly one that is for the birds. We will not be restoring our relationship with the EU. It won’t happen. We’ve left. We can’t turn the clock back.
Oh Stella, I could drink a pint of you-But we could rejoin the SM/CU.
Oh no, hang on. We're in the CHAOS...
There's no threat at all if you support the concept of Europa, the EU's endgame. I don't.
Appalling. Austerity was an EU-wide policy, and the UK was an EU member state.
And, fwiw, no, I don't have a high opinion of successive Conservative governments. It's conservative governments that got us into this mess in the first place.
There is never any racism in me. Not ever.Apart from the undisguised racism in this comment, I don't understand the point. So a person can drive from France to Germany, lose 250 euros in a fruit machine and get a receipt for what? How does a receipt for "winning" 5000 euros benefit you when it has cost you 250?
This is ridiculous. Only the kebab shops have the machines. The bakeries, supermarkets, cycle shops locksmiths and banks etc simply do not.Everyone? Or specifically immigrants, "the ones that run kebab shops" (nudge, wink)?
Oh Stella, I could drink a pint of you-
Labour cannot make people’s lives better until it dares to start talking about Brexit

It’s the hissing head of Medusa . Even talking softly and rationally about never mind confronting it, is politically fatal “You’re trying to undo Brexit!”.Indeed, Remainers don't see a lot of 'threat', they see opportunities to collaborate, negotiate and progress - and they'd rather focus on the greater good, e.g. peace and prosperity, than, for example, overly aggressive postering towards out-groups so practised by our government (and the comrades). They are more pro social as well.
The question, and I know after the recent meltdown that I'm taking a risk here, was...what is the actual objective threat?
PS It's not clear how the EU forced George to enact austerity in this county.

Lol. Thanks, at least you don't see me as overtly racist. I'm in the crim hotspot of Baden wallowing like a pig in shit, innit.I believe the thesis is, “everyone’s on the grift, it’s not just me!”
We could’ve done if remainders had backed Corbyn after the referendum.But we could rejoin the SM/CU.
Oh no, hang on. We're in the CHAOS...
