Brexit

Moves forward;

An overwhelming majority of British members of parliament voted Wednesday to allow Prime Minister Theresa May to start Brexit negotiations with the European Union.
The government’s European Union Bill passed with 498 votes to 114. The vote comes a week after the British Supreme Court ruled the public vote last June wasn’t enough to start the process.

  1. After the doom and gloom predictions were met by sunny skies and a newly energized economy, what was their choice? A vote for Brexit or a lynch mob.

  2. The English People (MOST of em anyway) are MY HEROES !! And nowwwwww … I am having FAITH in the English Parliament too !!!
    Take THAT Mayor Khanistan !!! Looks like LONDON will have to become a “sanctuary city” of misfits, terrorists, and HATERS of all stripe.
    The English people did no small part in galvanizing TRUMP support. Here’s to you, mates !!

  3. It’s important for two reasons. Aside from the question of exiting the EU, it shows that Parliament accepts the views of the British people as a whole expressed in the referendum.

  4. At least half of them were SNP. They can justify their opposition by stating accurately that Scotland voted against Brexit. We don’t really need to discuss what that says about Scotland, do we?

  5. Just to clarify
    The house of commons has just voted to enable the government to enact Article 50, something the referendum gave them authority to do, so we were told at the time. Nearly 6 months later and that is something that is still to be done, Article 50 is notice to the EU that a member state is considering withdrawing and allows a two year period for that to happen and the necessary legislation be put in place.
    Before this vote of the house of commons becomes binding (And its again not the actual act of triggering Article 50) it has to go to the House of Lords for approval, many years ago before the socialists destroyed it that would have been a formality, BUT the Labour Party under Blair removed and abolished the centuries old heredity nature of the House of Lords and stuffed it full of “appointees”. I’ll let you guess how they are going to vote.
    I think I’ve got most of the above right, correct me if I’m wrong. BREXIT the people voted, BUT to coin a phrase “if that mattered they would not allow it”.
    For those not following the events that closely the entire vote was concocted by the Tories under Cameron to split the UKIP vote and delegitimise the increasing ground swell of anger about the EU project. The Leave campaign was directed and financed by the Tory government and lead by confirmed europhiles Johnson and Gove in an effort to confuse and demoralise the actual leave voters. The official Leavve campaign as they became known had no communication or joint approach with other interested leave campaigns, which as a result had to be completely self funded which smacked even more than usual of the false flag / divide and rule policy so loved by the British establishment.
    The present PM Theresa May was on the remain side of the campaign and always a very progressive europhile who famously told the conservative(In name only) party conference that it was the “nasty” party. When May became PM she appointed the fool Johnson (the supposed recent convert to EU sceptic) and D. Davis (possibly a more principled man but one dogged by his party and a very unlikely comrade or working partner for the fool Johnson however he was decent sop to the so called “right” of the party) to lead the leave arrangements within the government creating a recipe for success depending only on what you wish to achieve.
    As to the actually “de-coupling” of Britain and the EU, there is still no de-coupling and no negotiations have been started because Article 50 has not been enacted, in 6 months the British have been subjected to a barrage of obstructionism and prevarication with only the promise that this will continue.
    Its more likely, bearing in mind that the triggering of Article 50 only informs the EU of the UK intention to negotiate to leave and a 2 year period for that to take place, that the EU will implode in the meantime due to other forces. Forget not that before any due date on anything with regard to actually implementing Article 50 the people again have to go to the polls and vote for a new government, past form would indicate that all parties will campaign on the same agendas the actual leave agenda will be as mushy as pig swill and will enable interpretation of any result exactly as they see fit. A cynic may well conclude that the combination of all of this shows well what the future course of action will actually be.
    But we still live in hope.

  6. If any establishment successfully blocks it, there will be hell to pay. Heads will roll. I am surprized the anti-brexit wankers managed to swing a “supreme court” ruling. The British Parliament is sovereign, in the name of the Queen. There was no need to heed their famous lord arses.

  7. The “Supreme court” again an invention of the Labour party under Blairs management, until then the Law Lords judged matters. When “reforming” the Lords that institution then became archaistic, or perhaps just to much of a hinderance in the brave new socialist utopia, what ever.
    The British Parliament still consists of both houses the Commons and the Lords. Any bill needs a passage through both. During the glory years when Great was still part of Britain the unelected Lords (Which included the Church of England in the shape of the Bishops and also non-hereditary peers) acted as a check and balance to the commons and managed to preserve much that would have been lost under a 4 term government of the people. Since abolishing hereditary peers those checks and balances are no longer in evidence as the Labour and CINO’s have stuffed the upper chamber with political stooges. Oh and suddenly the cost of the House of Lords has risen previously most of the cost of the Lords was borne by the holder mainly as an act of “public service” which is another archaistic concept not fitting in with the new world order under the great guise of socialism.

  8. PMs from Scotland vote NO.
    Now that Britexit is moving forward, How will Germany pay Scotland’s trillion dollar debts?

    Not so sure what you are meaning, just so you understand the intricacies of the mess 60 years of the Labour party (and to be fair the CINOs) have left the UK in. Scotland now has a parliament (Paid for by all the UK) that sets most things except the taxation system, all things relating to international agreements and defence which is about as mad a deal as anyone could every imagine, simply staggering in its stupidity, only really could a socialist labour party have conceived it, as it was a bribe to hold on to its parliamentary majority and stop losing seats to the SNP (a battle it lost anyway). Scotland has however since the act of union had a semi separate legal system which is complicated in its own but hey I guess wiki might fill in those details if you are so interested.
    Scotland also have members of parliament in the British parliament (yes yes I know sort of double dipping, conflict of interest all those and more etc etc ).
    The MPs for Scotland in the British Parliament have always been, predominately, for the last century members of the Labour party, and always been responsible for giving any Labour party government its majority in power. (You might see why the English are aggrieved)
    The position in relation to the EU is the Scottish Parliament has no jurisdiction over anything to do with the UKs relationship with the EU, the scottish members of the Westminster Parliament (a different thing) have a vote along with all the rest of the members of parliament for the UK.
    German nor anyone else is on any danger of picking up the Scottish tab, (Note that historically only the English have been that stupid which is why we ended up in an act of union(surely one of the stupidest decisions in history)) as firstly the Scottish would have to be an independent country and though much like the Quebec question in Canada most of the rest of the UK would most certainly be in favour of it the chances of it happening are next to negligible.
    So petulance and another waste of money ? why of course the scots can vote in their parliament all they want it changes not an iota, it has no relevance to anything, the Scottish SNP / Labour MPs in westminster, well as per normal they will vote to do as much damage to the English as they can safe in the knowledge that it will not affect their ability to get re-elected.

  10. “If any establishment successfully blocks it, there will be hell to pay. Heads will roll.”
    I doubt it.

  11. It won’t. Scotland is not a member of the EU. Britain is. Scotland will first have to separate from the UK, then apply for EU membership. Given the glacial pace of EU movement let alone the unwillingness of Scotland to separate in its referendum, that will be sometime in the 22nd century.
