Blair said that the leavers voted "without Knowledge?
In that case, do we think he also believes that those who voted for him in 1997 and thereafter did so "without knowledge" of Iraq, his immigration policy, his enthusiasm for the euro?
Ah, now that was different, because it was the result he wanted :sarcasm:

Hi anniec

It was simply a case of the blind leading the blind.

"Knowledge" is a wonderful thing if used wisely.....sadly he lead us up the garden path on all three accounts.

It's all rather worrying because only 48% of the population knew what they were voting for (according to Bliar). Where have the other 52% been all their lives? :sarcasm:
Thank goodness we have the 48% to keep us on the straight and narrow. :roll:

Leading racist, bigoted and uneducated lives, according to Blair and his genteel, liberal and well educated friends.

Considering some of the outrageous prophesies coming from the protagonists in the Remain camp UK is going to be totally isolated, devoid of any Europeans already here, our economy will collapse, financial institutions will depart etc etc...........................
Heard it all before? It seems odd to me that negotiations with the EU have not yet started, nothing has been decided yet these people know the outcome already. Now that's what I call clever!!!! :moresarcasm:
I wonder if they know the lottery numbers as well? :sarcasm:

Pauline commented that we was wearing far too much make up as he made his demand for another referendum, and looked more orange than the Donald.

Couldn't organise a pi** up in a brewery. Makes you wonder what the point of voting was.

I just love the members of the Lords threatening to derail Brexit and saying we just respect the views of the minority who voted to remain.

Errrrm. What about respecting the views of the majority who voted to leave?

I see that Juncker is repeating his threat that the UK will have to pay a massive exit fee to leave the EU to help pay for earlier "commitments".
I do so hope that he has egg on his face once the final terms are agreed, if anything I dislike him more than Blair.

If the UK has made commitments to find something, I have no problem with honouring that. But if Junckers wants to charge us for leaving his corrupt little club, he can stuff his proposal where he'll need a mirror to see what he's doing

"Cressida D1ck becomes first woman to take charge of London's Metropolitan Police"

At least we can call a senior copper a "d1ck" and get away with it now (even if we can't post her name on here !!)

"Copeland result is "very disappointing" but Jeremy Corbyn says he isn't stepping down after by-election loss"

Well, that's a bit of good news for the country anyway !

Now come on everybody. It's just like Brexit. The losing side only lost because the winning side lied. Such a rarity in politics
