Ken Clarke

Calling leave voters plebs sounds arrogant as fuck. I mean, he makes a good point, though.

He said plebiscite which just means referendum.

 

[TheCrackInTime]

Ken Clarke dropping some truth.

 

[Dorsal Axe]

People need to calm down. Even if Cameron has spent the entire weekend plotting with Johnson and Merkel to reverse the result he has to say this right now. He can't overturn a fair referendum within days of it happening - it would destroy the party and potentially lead to riots.

This is the long game right now - let the markets fuck the country, then step back from the edge. If he truly wanted this to happen he would have pulled the trigger on article 50 - and the leave campaign would be pushing for it asap as well.

I think you're right. They just want to accelerate the decline a bit, so then there is no doubt to the public that pursuing this will be disastrous.

It's not over until Article 50 is invoked, which they still don't plan to do anytime soon. That's pretty telling.

 

[Mr Cola]

ive never watched an english debate before this is fascinating lmao.

It is but after a while you realise no-one answers each others questions and it turns into a slinging match 90% of the time, it sounds all prim and propper but its underbelly is quite seedy.

 

[nOoblet16]

They can't. It still needs to be voted on.

Probably was best to buy a ton as quickly as possible as it'll be more expensive now. These imported goods, man.



They are going to vote, but not today.

Considering how close it was, imagine if there are a few swing votes.
It wouldn't take many...political suicide, but maybe one of these MPs grew a conscious and put forward the future instead of self.

 

[BossDarkseid]

Ken Clarke trying to fight the good fight.

 

[Blackthorn]

Calling leave voters plebs sounds arrogant as fuck. I mean, he makes a good point, though.

Plebiscite is the literal term for what occurred.

 

[ferrasvansen]

I see pound took heart from speech, heading down again.

 

[Zaph]

Calling leave voters plebs sounds arrogant as fuck. I mean, he makes a good point, though.

He called it as we see it - people who are easily lead by obvious lies.

 

[SuperSah]

So... is this happening?

 

[EloKa]

this discussion is amazing. Not only because of the content but also because of the way how it is getting done. German parliament is a lot more boring compared to this lively debate.

 

[Palculator]

The Scots are fucking awesome.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Love this SNP guy right now

"We're not fucking leaving"

 

[Tacitus_]

"we must be a forward looking nation, not a diminished little Britain"

daaamn

 

[platocplx]

It is but after a while you realise no-one answers each others questions and it turns into a slinging match 90% of the time, it sounds all prim and propper but its underbelly is quite seedy.

yeah its a little annoying, i dont like that they arent entertaining of blocking. This scotland guy is saying we aint leaving! lmao

 

[Xando]

Cameron starts speaking and pound start going downhill again

 

[Daffy Duck]

Cameron saying the house shouldn't stand in the way of what the people have voted...

 

[BossDarkseid]

Fuck it, let the SNP run Westminster.

 

[Hasney]

Cameron starts speaking and pound start goind downhill again

GBP/USD
1.319

Just .019 to go before shoes are consumed!

 

[johancruijff]

"then so be it"

damn

 

[Jezbollah]

Angus Robertson is a tremendous speaker.

 

[ferrasvansen]

GBP/USD

Just .019 to go before shoes are consumed!

Wont be long, once the investment losses and jobs start going, pound will crater.

 

[jakonovski]

I like Scotland.

 

[Hazzuh]

Angus Robertson is a tremendous speaker.

Stark contrast with mediocrities like Corbyn.

 

[danowat]

What has Red Ken said then?

 

[nOoblet16]

If only SNP could run UK.

 

[Arials]

Calling leave voters plebs sounds arrogant as fuck. I mean, he makes a good point, though.

Didn't he say:

plebiscite
ˈplɛbɪsʌɪt,-sɪt/
noun
the direct vote of all the members of an electorate on an important public question such as a change in the constitution.
synonyms: vote, referendum, ballot, poll

Intentional double meaning probably but still...

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Cameron doesn't seem behind this idea of Scotland staying in the EU

 

[Palculator]

Angus Robertson is a tremendous speaker.

He really is, did a fucking great job. A job Cameron has failed to actually respond to.

 

[Jezbollah]

Stark contrast with mediocrities like Corbyn.

Indeed. Quite often or not in PMQs Robertson was giving more problems to Cameron with his two questions than Corbyn did with his six...

 

[fenners]

Cameron doesn't seem behind this idea of Scotland staying in the EU

Why would he be?

 

[SuperSah]

Yo, what's going on in this debate?

Is it actually gonna happen?

 

[mnz]

Cameron doesn't seem behind this idea of Scotland staying in the EU

Well yeah lol

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Clegg looks broken

Why would he be?

Yeah true

 

[Hasney]

lol, Boris isn't there at the commons. Hilarious.

Clegg looks broken

The Lib Dems probably needed this to get their fire back.

 

[MrHoot]

Time for the legion of farron

 

[nOoblet16]

Yo, what's going on in this debate?

Is it actually gonna happen?

No one knows as usual.

 

[PJV3]

Diplomats calling Boris plan a pipe dream, sweet.

 

[BossDarkseid]

Time for the legion of farron

i understood that reference.

Holy crap, Clegg's still alive.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Fuck sake that burn on where the fuck is Boris? XD

 

[Morat]

lol, Boris isn't there at the commons. Hilarious.

Really? Can't watch right now, if true that is pathetic even for him.

 

[Vicetrailia]

People need to calm down. Even if Cameron has spent the entire weekend plotting with Johnson and Merkel to reverse the result he has to say this right now. He can't overturn a fair referendum within days of it happening - it would destroy the party and potentially lead to riots.

Definitely. No comments on Scotland independence referendum says something. It won't be necessary.

 

[nOoblet16]

Oh shit...this is the LibDem leader. lol

 

[Jezbollah]

Diplomats calling Boris plan a pipe dream, sweet.

Boris showing his leadership credentials isn't he?

 

[Xando]

Fuck sake that burn on where the fuck is Boris? XD

Kickstarting the economy by making cakes

 

[TheCrackInTime]

Cameron doesn't seem behind this idea of Scotland staying in the EU

He's already going down in history as the PM who allowed the UK to sleepwalk out of Europe. He probably doesn't want to be remembered as being responsible for breaking up the Union too.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Really? Can't watch right now, if true that is pathetic even for him.

Yeah Farron just called it out too

 

[Hazzuh]

Gove not here either? Cowardly.

 

[ferrasvansen]

Pound falling even faster, fucking hell they should end this session in the Commons.

 

[nOoblet16]

Fuck sake that burn on where the fuck is Boris? XD

Probably still playing Cricket.
