I bet if anyone is in the pocket of Putin in all of this they are probably Brexiteers. Qui bono?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Ludicrous for all these Tory Breixteers to call Corbyn a Marxist. They're just as extreme in their own way.

And Brexiteers are always telling us everyone is entitled to their opinion. Translation, 'everyone is entitled to their opinion if they want the same sort of Brexit that I want. And if I don't get it now I'll sthcweam and sthcweam and sthcweam.'


The vote to leave or remain was final and no going back, Translation the remoaners sthcweam and sthcweam and sthcweam, we need a people vote, well we had one cry baby in 2016.







Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

I "follow" on twitter one of the Hull M.P.s because I'm interested in whether opinions have changed on Brexit as time has gone on. She asked the question of her constituents as to what they wanted from Brexit and put up some of the responses. There were strong representations for SEVEN different Leave outcomes. Obviously some had similarities but virtually all were accompanied by the "you need to do what the people want". Her problem is that for her constituents there is no clear majority other than the majority which says we need to leave, despite this view that "Leave means Leave" I strongly suspect she isn't on her own.
I've never considered that people who voted Leave didn't believe they knew what they were voting for but I'd put my next months pension on the fact that Brexit means different things to different people.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

The main goal was sovereignty everything else is a wish list that sovereignty would ultimately bring free trade deals, immigration control, return of our fishing waters etc,etc, still yet to meet anyone who voted for a claim on a bus 🙄.

To ask the general public to vote on a subject so serious as Brexit was darn right stupid,

BUT

The man Cameron did ask and we answered and he fooked off and left someone else to clear up the mess.

Except we have no one in charge at the moment who can clear it up,

Maybe we should have an election and if that does not work we could have another one and then another one.

Well you obviously haven't tried very hard! The Remain campaign in Grimsby all but ceased once the bus was unveiled. It was an absolute master stroke from the Leave campaign and it resonated with voters across the country. It was the second biggest response I got on the doorstep after the business about fishing rights. Unashamedly populist but the pathetic Remain campaign couldn't counter it.

I can honestly say that ive not met anyone who voted for Brexit solely on that basis, I work local entering properties and meeting people on a daily basis not a few weeks during a voting campaign!  And during all this time more often than not over the last few years the topic of conversation turns to brexit.

They must have known the MPs would be having a well earned Easter break Pete after all the hard work that has gone on in to finding a solution to the impasse

I'm sure when the MPs return they will be firing on all cylinders again.... well until they have their summer recess that is and then you won't get to see them for months on end  

Meanwhile, the clock is ticking...
