Johnson's call to court is a tad unfair.

Surely, Farage, Gove, Hoey and Stuart (at least) should also be there alongside him?

Predictably, Poundland Trump pulls a Trump-

“Acting for Johnson, Adrian Darbishire QC, told the court last week that the application by Ball had been brought for political purposes and was a “political stunt”.

My partners cousin was wheeling his pushbike home from central Edinburgh late one night. Was then set upon by a bunch of men. "Help, Police" , he shouted. "We are the Police", came the answer.

A complaint produced little in the way of results, except his Ducati moterbike was mysteriously burned out on the drive in front of the house.

If it was a Ducati it was probably capable of doing that itself, Italian electrics and all!

Most of the Edinburgh police seem to be where I live at the moment. Apparently the gun used in the Bradley Welsh murder was found in a car-park close to my house - so expecting a door-to-door visit sometime soon, as I reckon I've walked the dog past where the gun was found about 20 times since the murder.

So you are either banged up in Saughton nick or live around The Pleasance. When I think of it did you not mention Dean Village sometime?

I'm in Balerno. Sounds like they must have come this way out of town (and I've heard rumours the guy that's in the frame for it is from Currie) as the car was spotted in Kirknewton. There is a small car-park with re-cycling bins etc. at one end and it looks like that might be where the gun was dumped (if the local rumour mill is to be believed anyway!). If so then I've walked the dog past the spot about 20 times since it was dumped - so his sniffer dog credentials are taking a battering...

Er, this is Pink Fish. How many socialists of the non sparkling variety are you hoping to find?

I kept voting Labour because Jim Davidson promised to **** off if they got in but he never did. So caveat emptor and all that.

"A fool and his vote are easily parted"

Oh to be rid of Sean Connery and Phil Collins.

Mind, those two scumbags already lived as tax exiles when they made their threats to leave.

I had Stephen Hendry and Paul Daniels in mind when I voted. I think the Sunday People actually sent a removal van to Paul and Debbie’s house after the 1997 elections.

Never once have I told anyone here or elsewhere "how well I did working for a right wing rag".

I worked my bollocks off getting to the top of my profession as editor of an evening newspaper. But you don't mention that. My wife worked hard as well and she contributed to the house as much as I did. But you don't mention that. I don't have a car but there's a thread on here with people waving their c@cks over their outrageously expensive cars. Will you be casting an eye over their socialist credentials? No thought not.

Now, I suggest you wind your neck in, quit the irrelevant ad hom attacks and behave like a moderator.

Those of us natural Labour voters _want_ to vote Labour, Corbyn's dithering on Brexit (the most important political and economic event since WWII) is driving us to distraction. He wants to keep the leavers happy, so he says he'll respect Brexit. He wants to keep remainers happy, so he dangles the possibility of a second vote. Meanwhile the majority of Labour voters, members and MPs support remain, that's where the frustration comes from. His problem is that he, Milne and McClusky are out of step with the majority of his party, the voters want remain, while they want to leave.

Brexit is not the most important thing, there are many problems that will not be solved while we have a tory govt, the most important thing is a change of govt at the next election. This will also solve the brexit problem, it’s just the intransigence of hard-remainers can’t see it. Labour is the only party that can replace the tories.

I am mostly happy with Labour respecting Brexit since we live in a democracy, after all. I’m also ok with them talking about a second referendum, even though I think a second referendum is stupid. At 52/48 this is a compromise and a big problem is that hard-remainers can’t accept any compromise. They are as bad as hard-leavers, imo.

Genuinely interested- how will a Labour government after the next GE, solve the Brexit problem? And what is the Brexit problem?
 
Joe said:
I keep reading this line on Pinkfish.... folk who are going to move elsewhere IF.......

Folk who are going to apply for a second passport ( and do what with it ? ) if Brexit happens.

It reminds me of the film stars and rock stars who threaten to leave the country every time a Labour government looks like getting into power.

Is it US all of you are threatening ?

If your roots and allegiance to this, your country, are so easily given up then why don't you go now ? Build your new life now.

:D Hadn’t thought of it as a threat. Scotland is nice and I like the people. I don’t like tories running down public services and generally making a mess of everything.

If there are a whole load of people in England stupid enough that a single issue causes them to enable another tory govt what would you suggest I do?

Not true, a far preferable option is a progressive coalition.

What I said was, Labour is the only party that can replace the tories.

What is a progressive coalition exactly and is it realistic in our current voting system that one can replace the tories?

We think we know what goes on in the world, but I've often thought that some characters live in a parallel universe that we don't experience very often in our little middle class bubbles.
