Oh Dear the Scottish Tories have become as unhinged as HYFUD,
Keith Brown and Adam Tomkins
THE Scottish Tories have been accused of making “complete fools of themselves” after using a six-year-old quote about wifi at railway stations to attack the SNP over independence. The SNP said Ruth Davidson’s party was becoming “hysterical”. It followed the Scottish Tories issuing a press release attacking SNP depute leader Keith Brown after he denied saying independence was a once-in-a-generation vote. He told Sky News: “It wasn’t something I’ve ever said.”
The Tories then unearthed a quote from Mr Brown before the 2014 referendum in which he said: “The eyes of the world will be on Scotland and we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase what we have to offer as a modern country.” Tory MSP Adam Tomkins said: “Keith Brown needs to get his story straight on another independence referendum. “This exposes the deceit that runs right from the top of the SNP down. “Before the referendum, they were all happy to say it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. “After a convincing defeat, they immediately rowed back, to the point where Keith Brown’s now denying having ever said it at all. Voters will see right through this dishonesty.” However, the source the Tories supplied for the quote showed it came from a BBC story in May 2013 about free wi-fi at 25 of Scotland’s busiest railway stations.

Having a holiday in Pembrokeshire and dining on plenty of tasty Welsh lamb will be something we can all look forward to post Brexit
As a child I spent many holiday on Gower and Pembrokeshire. My abiding memory is sitting inside all day watching the rain pouring down and inedible restaurant meals. I grant you that the food may have improved
There are some excellent pubs and restaurants in Pembrokeshire and as the heatwave last week showed even some sunshine.
No Deal Brexit will offer us all the chance to discover again the delightful British seaside resorts and countryside and dine on tasty British beef, pork and lamb maybe washed down with an English sparkling wine
Fine if that's your choice, it's not mine
+1 - we holidayed in Pembrokeshire in "summer" 2017 Mrs Eek's comment was never again in the UK - the risk of bad weather is too great..

I can't tell if this is satire. Poe's law in motion.
German vehicles for me all the way, though I did have a brief fling with an Italian that I gave me fond memories.
Mercedes are for old blokes too, BMWs are for sales rep twats and Audi are for people who dont realise they;re diving a VW Polo
All luxury brand cars are just people spending on image, completely fine, but deluded if they think it is to do with quality that justifies the price differentials.
Audi drivers are the worst people on the road. Actually just the worst human beings full stop.
That is a bit harsh, and here was me thinking I was a considerate driver.
Can someone explain why it is that we agreed a deal with the EU BEFORE we had agreed what it was the UK Parlaiment would accept.? Would it not have been better for Parliament to agree the terms on which we wanted to leave the EU before heading off to Brussels to negotiate. That way we could have delayed triggering Article 50 until that point and avoided the need for all this mess.
I doubt the EU would have opened discussions before A50 was triggered, and in any case a lot of the arguments are pretty manufactured as much of the logic against the WA was really either against any deal (for leavers) or against leaving at all (for remainers) which is why we have slightly more honesty now the focus is more on no deal or revoke(via referendum or not).
But it was all done pretty badly.
For some reason, May decided that the only way of proceeding was for her (and her small team) to do everything. No consultation with other parties. No consultation with her own party. I suppose she thought there wasn't enough time for debates, and just assumed that her own side would vote for the WA. But there was some hubris.
If there'd been some sort of Brexit Commission, with a cross-party negotiating team, there would've been huge rows but we would be out of the EU by now, under some Norway-style arrangement.

A consensus for something would have occurred - so yes we would be out.
Because May decided to do things her way there was zero incentive for anyone else to help push her deal through Parliament...
Appreciate I'm very late to the party, but the idea that a weak pound is going to put pressure on Boris is incredibly one eyed.
The entire point of his strategy is to convince people he really means to no deal, so the EU reconsider their position under some actual jeopardy rather than assuming we'll take whatever is on offer.
A weak pound means it's working, at least for the markets (which is a different thing to saying it's the right strategy).

The pound could hit just one Euro or even less and Leavers will just peddle the same guff . Just holiday in the UK.
So not only are we to lose freedom of movement we’re also now told to just suck it up and be forced to holiday in the UK.
Leavers have an answer for everything in their desperate attempts to keep polishing the Brexit turd!
The pound could hit 20 cents and it wouldn't matter if inflation was low and real wages were rising.
It wouldn't happen but that's another matter.
How can a collapsing currency and wage inflation coexist with low inflation?
You tell me.
We have low inflation, we have wage inflation and you allege we have a collapsing currency. Check, check and check. So what's going on?
Do I? I was referring to your scenario of the pound hitting 20 cents.
Sterling used to be $5 now we are talking about parity. That is where the 80% came from.
To be fair, Sterling has spent 80% of the time since 1992 in a range between $1.40 and $1.70. It was only just before the GFC when it climbed higher than that, and either immediately post the GFC, or after the EU referendum when it was lower.

Because the Irish view No Deal as drunken amateur Brits doing a heart transplant on them.
The backstop was meant to prevent a possible future no deal, not cause an immediate one. If it is bringing about what it was designed to prevent it has failed.

Mr. T, bitching about a 900 year old grudge is ridiculous. By that metric, I could whine about the Normans for genocide against Yorkshire.
I wasn't aware that the the Norman harrying went on much past the C11th, or that the Normans were around for many of the subsequent centuries, but I yield to your superior historical knowledge.

I can recommend the Isle of Wight though. The ferry allows you to imagine you are abroad, and the time travel element is fun. It takes you back a couple of decades...

His strategy does make some sense if he can pass a standstill transition through the ERG and therefore parliament. As far as I can tell the only downside for the EU is they lose some of their sequencing advantage but in return would avoid no deal, give stability over the next couple of years, get their cash, not to mention the opportunity to negotiate a FTA with a bunch of numpties.

Either. Remember that Labour are only voting against the WA for political reasons. If Labour had been part of the Brexit team, most Labour MPs would've voted for the WA. MPs would say that they hadn't "negated all the things Brexit was sold as delivering" because this was only the WA, not the final Deal.

It's very hard to get a truly democratic country to agree to commit self-harm, in whatever form that takes. No consensus for a deliverable form of Brexit was possible.
Boris will campaign like May in a general election, flitting between safe spaces, and avoiding the press and debates.
Boris did debates in the leadership election and referendum and has been campaigning across the UK since. He is a far better campaigner than May but it was the dementia tax that cost May her majority, which Boris opposed, not stage managed appearances
It was a combination of factors. Labour support went up by 2% a week for six weeks. May's poor performance was the big issue in two of those weeks.
The biggest bounces in Labour support came from Corbyn's manifesto giveaway and May's disastrous dementia tax announcement coupled with scrapping free school meals

Some well buy their best and others far too far to travel to, it will never catch on.
Thanks to Brexit, British people’s horizons are literally shrinking. And Leavers are so indoctrinated, they celebrate that.
Sat, once again, in hotel room in Sofia I would actually like my horizons to shrink a bit. A week at home would do me the world of good (and make Sofia look good again)..

He’s too accomplished a bullshitter to put it in writing, but the manifesto is out there.
In fact any flexibility we may have shown is now countered as we are seeking to be less flexible.
Raab is entirely correct there.
We are saying we are ready to talk, they are saying they're not, so we are the ones being more flexible.
We are saying the undemocratic backstop has to go [too right too!] but not being restrictive atm as to what replaces it. The EU are saying they insist the undemocratic backstop must stay, so they are being inflexible.

If you have 15% interest rates funded by printing money your currency will devalue. If you bail out national industry, funded by printing money, much the same. If your industrial policy actually eliminates productive industry then your currency will decline too.
Interventionist government policy may be good when you can afford it. We've not been able to afford such a thing for a very long time.
FX rates are precisely the long term judgement of governments by others, however they spend most of their time correcting for the actions of previous governments because the economists are much like sooth-sayers, but without the charm.

If there'd been some sort of Brexit Commission, with a cross-party negotiating team, there would've been huge rows but we would be out of the EU by now, under some Norway-style arrangement.
With a customs border in the Irish Sea or the whole UK in the customs union? Do you really think it would have been possible to get a consensus to proceed with a form of Brexit that negated all the things it was sold as delivering?
A consensus for something would have occurred - so yes we would be out.
How? The something you are proposing was bitterly opposed by Boris Johnson all along.
It's very hard to get a truly democratic country to agree to commit self-harm, in whatever form that takes. No consensus for a deliverable form of Brexit was possible.
Not a clue but if Labour and the Tories both owned the policy at least some large proportion of both parties would have owned the problem..
It really has become about any chance to bash the UK for a lot of people here. I wish you a speedy recovery.
There is a difference between bashing the UK and bashing what the Brexiteers are doing to the Uk
Not here there isn't. It's pitiable what certain peoples' posting personas have become. Can't be mentally healthy for one thing.
Despair at the downward slide of the country and its place in the world is the sign of a true patriot. Indeed nothing is more characteristic of a British patriot than complaining that the place is going to the dogs.
German vehicles for me all the way, though I did have a brief fling with an Italian that I gave me fond memories.
Mercedes are for old blokes too, BMWs are for sales rep twats and Audi are for people who dont realise they;re diving a VW Polo
All luxury brand cars are just people spending on image, completely fine, but deluded if they think it is to do with quality that justifies the price differentials.
Audi drivers are the worst people on the road. Actually just the worst human beings full stop.
That is a bit harsh, and here was me thinking I was a considerate driver.
Since moving out of London and driving almost every day I've noticed that Audi drivers are the most aggresive.
Boris will campaign like May in a general election, flitting between safe spaces, and avoiding the press and debates.
Boris did debates in the leadership election and referendum and has been campaigning across the UK since. He is a far better campaigner than May but it was the dementia tax that cost May her majority, which Boris opposed, not stage managed appearances
It was a combination of factors. Labour support went up by 2% a week for six weeks. May's poor performance was the big issue in two of those weeks.
The biggest bounces in Labour support came from Corbyn's manifesto giveaway and May's disastrous dementia tax announcement coupled with scrapping free school meals
Do you approve of Boris copying the giveaway ?
He’s too accomplished a bullshitter to put it in writing, but the manifesto is out there.
If Boris blows the budget then no I don't approve it. If he picks a few targetted areas to raise spending on, like governments always do, then that is responsible.
People are acting with mock horror that Boris has priorities. As if Osborne, Cameron, May and Hammond didn't have priorities too. The difference with Corbyn is he doesn't have priorities, he wants to spend money on everything.
Thanks to Brexit, British people’s horizons are literally shrinking. And Leavers are so indoctrinated, they celebrate that.
Sat, once again, in hotel room in Sofia I would actually like my horizons to shrink a bit. A week at home would do me the world of good (and make Sofia look good again)..

Having a holiday in Pembrokeshire and dining on plenty of tasty Welsh lamb will be something we can all look forward to post Brexit
As a child I spent many holiday on Gower and Pembrokeshire. My abiding memory is sitting inside all day watching the rain pouring down and inedible restaurant meals. I grant you that the food may have improved
There are some excellent pubs and restaurants in Pembrokeshire and as the heatwave last week showed even some sunshine.
No Deal Brexit will offer us all the chance to discover again the delightful British seaside resorts and countryside and dine on tasty British beef, pork and lamb maybe washed down with an English sparkling wine
If they haven't closed...
Margate, Skegness, Bath, Blackpool, Eastbourne, Pembrokeshire, Devon and Cornwall and the Lake District could all see a mini boom from No Deal as the low value of the £ sees many more Brits decide it is cheaper to holiday at home for the next year or two and actually discovering they quite like it
They are all a bloody nightmare already, nowhere to park, traffic queues, English nat brits on holiday, or so many Japanese tourists no room to walk on the pavement for god sake open your eyes and look at the reality of what we are facing.

Have you seen the price of a holiday cottage in the Lakes let alone a decent hotel? Hint my last weekend there cost £400 and that was my third choice hotel as we booked at little notice and the others were full. And they are already fully booked with the Japanese / Europeans as we discovered on a day trip to the Derwent pencil museum at the weekend....
Scotland is the same, cheaper to have a week abroad than a weekend at home. UK is a rip off.
Yep for reference I'm off to the Amstel Intercontinental next March for a long weekend. That's £600 including flights for 2...
In fact any flexibility we may have shown is now countered as we are seeking to be less flexible.
Raab is entirely correct there.
We are saying we are ready to talk, they are saying they're not, so we are the ones being more flexible.
We are saying the undemocratic backstop has to go [too right too!] but not being restrictive atm as to what replaces it. The EU are saying they insist the undemocratic backstop must stay, so they are being inflexible.
They said in April that they were not able to talk since the EU is in transition until November 1st.
Given that why should we expect them to be in a position to talk.

He’s too accomplished a bullshitter to put it in writing, but the manifesto is out there.
If Boris blows the budget then no I don't approve it. If he picks a few targetted areas to raise spending on, like governments always do, then that is responsible.
People are acting with mock horror that Boris has priorities. As if Osborne, Cameron, May and Hammond didn't have priorities too. The difference with Corbyn is he doesn't have priorities, he wants to spend money on everything.
Appreciate I'm very late to the party, but the idea that a weak pound is going to put pressure on Boris is incredibly one eyed.
The entire point of his strategy is to convince people he really means to no deal, so the EU reconsider their position under some actual jeopardy rather than assuming we'll take whatever is on offer.
A weak pound means it's working, at least for the markets (which is a different thing to saying it's the right strategy).
And given that the EU regard No Deal as the equivalent of trying to save money on a heart transplant by doing it yourself - exactly how does Boris's self inflicted stupidity get the EU back at the table...
Because it would be pretty shit for them too. As I said - not defending the strategy, just pointing out that this threader rather missed that this is a perfectly deliberate outcome.
But no matter how bad it is for them - we will be in a worse position...
And if we're crazy enough to do that, that stops it being bad for them how?
Ultimately the EU position is basically crazy. The backstop supposedly exists to prevent adverse outcomes if there's no deal at the end of a 2 year standstill period. And they're so determined to defend this that they're willing to cause no deal right now?
It's a game of chicken and the falling pound is a sign of a success for Boris in getting some people to believe he means what he says.

Saying that I want to change something and then claiming that makes me "more flexible" is doublespeak.
The EU agreed to the Backstop in order to avoid a trade border in the Irish Sea. The ERG and DUP don't want the Backstop, but why should the EU go back to the drawing board to please those two small groups? There is now general consensus that the Backstop is the best protection for the Good Friday Agreement.
If I were the EU I'd make it clear to BJ that the WA will not be changed. They know that most MPs are anti-BJ, and that No Deal will cause much more damage to the UK than to the EU, so any brinkmanship on BJ's part is bound to fail.

The people of the UK, or anywhere else for that matter, are not going to be constrained by stupid politics. I understand what you're saying, and I even have a degree of sympathy for it - perhaps we have to work harder to discover our big family, but discover we will.
Of course you're right to worry about all sorts of things like freedom of opportunity, but there's not a chance that small impediments obstruct adventure.
When a Leaver on thread is advocating Skegness as a substitute for Sardinia for the summer holiday, something is going seriously wrong with Leaver wiring. The small impediments seem to be located between Leavers’ ears.
Appreciate I'm very late to the party, but the idea that a weak pound is going to put pressure on Boris is incredibly one eyed.
The entire point of his strategy is to convince people he really means to no deal, so the EU reconsider their position under some actual jeopardy rather than assuming we'll take whatever is on offer.
A weak pound means it's working, at least for the markets (which is a different thing to saying it's the right strategy).
And given that the EU regard No Deal as the equivalent of trying to save money on a heart transplant by doing it yourself - exactly how does Boris's self inflicted stupidity get the EU back at the table...
Because it would be pretty shit for them too. As I said - not defending the strategy, just pointing out that this threader rather missed that this is a perfectly deliberate outcome.
But no matter how bad it is for them - we will be in a worse position...
And if we're crazy enough to do that, that stops it being bad for them how?
Ultimately the EU position is basically crazy. The backstop supposedly exists to prevent adverse outcomes if there's no deal at the end of a 2 year standstill period. And they're so determined to defend this that they're willing to cause no deal right now?
It's a game of chicken and the falling pound is a sign of a success for Boris in getting some people to believe he means what he says.
Exactly! That's what I've been saying for the past year now.
Loving the "making you too poor to afford a holiday abroad is actually a good thing" takes from the more monomaniacal leavers.
Having a holiday in Pembrokeshire and dining on plenty of tasty Welsh lamb will be something we can all look forward to post Brexit
As a child I spent many holiday on Gower and Pembrokeshire. My abiding memory is sitting inside all day watching the rain pouring down and inedible restaurant meals. I grant you that the food may have improved
There are some excellent pubs and restaurants in Pembrokeshire and as the heatwave last week showed even some sunshine.
No Deal Brexit will offer us all the chance to discover again the delightful British seaside resorts and countryside and dine on tasty British beef, pork and lamb maybe washed down with an English sparkling wine
If they haven't closed...
Margate, Skegness, Bath, Southend, Bournemouth, Brighton, Blackpool, Eastbourne, Pembrokeshire, Devon and Cornwall and the Lake District could all see a mini boom from No Deal as the low value of the £ sees many more Brits decide it is cheaper to holiday at home for the next year or two and actually discovering they quite like it

No it’s not it’s an indication that he hasn’t a clue about anything. He is a walking disaster and those that back him are either hedge fund managers or deluded. If anyone can tell me how anybody in a leave voting area gains from this I’d be gobsmacked
In fact any flexibility we may have shown is now countered as we are seeking to be less flexible.
Raab is entirely correct there.
We are saying we are ready to talk, they are saying they're not, so we are the ones being more flexible.
We are saying the undemocratic backstop has to go [too right too!] but not being restrictive atm as to what replaces it. The EU are saying they insist the undemocratic backstop must stay, so they are being inflexible.
Saying that I want to change something and then claiming that makes me "more flexible" is doublespeak.
The EU agreed to the Backstop in order to avoid a trade border in the Irish Sea. The ERG and DUP don't want the Backstop, but why should the EU go back to the drawing board to please those two small groups? There is now general consensus that the Backstop is the best protection for the Good Friday Agreement.
If I were the EU I'd make it clear to BJ that the WA will not be changed. They know that most MPs are anti-BJ, and that No Deal will cause much more damage to the UK than to the EU, so any brinkmanship on BJ's part is bound to fail.
What you are saying then is that most MPs have more loyalty to Brussels than their UK voters.

There is no "general consensus" whatsoever that's bollocks to quote the Lib Dems word of the moment. Parliament has not voted to reject BJ, it has 3 times rejected the WDA that is why they need to go back to the drawing board.
If there'd been some sort of Brexit Commission, with a cross-party negotiating team, there would've been huge rows but we would be out of the EU by now, under some Norway-style arrangement.
With a customs border in the Irish Sea or the whole UK in the customs union? Do you really think it would have been possible to get a consensus to proceed with a form of Brexit that negated all the things it was sold as delivering?
A consensus for something would have occurred - so yes we would be out.
How? The something you are proposing was bitterly opposed by Boris Johnson all along.
It's very hard to get a truly democratic country to agree to commit self-harm, in whatever form that takes. No consensus for a deliverable form of Brexit was possible.
I have decided the focus on 'Brexit' is where the problem has been really. Like a dentist appointment. The destination is having good teeth. The process is much more daunting then the outcome.
So you’re saying getting punched in the face should just been seen as a necessary step to getting new teeth?
It really has become about any chance to bash the UK for a lot of people here. I wish you a speedy recovery.
There is a difference between bashing the UK and bashing what the Brexiteers are doing to the Uk
Not here there isn't. It's pitiable what certain peoples' posting personas have become. Can't be mentally healthy for one thing.
Despair at the downward slide of the country and its place in the world is the sign of a true patriot. Indeed nothing is more characteristic of a British patriot than complaining that the place is going to the dogs.
Despair is not a patriotic characteristic. Nor is exaggerated hysteria over currency fluctuations.

How does No Deal protect the GFA?
It breaches it - which will rapidly lead to the breaking up of the UK...

Slight problem, breaking up the UK without the consent of NI voters also breaches the GFA.
So you're saying the EU are willing to breach the GFA in order to secure the undemocratic backstop and you think that is appropriate? How is them choosing to breach the GFA rather than go to the drawing board appropriate?
Well I for one do not want a mini boom in the Lake district because of a devalued pound, the hot spots are bad enough already, and most visitors never go far from their cars, and buy high tech expedition grade cagoules to walk around the shops. Yuk. Still possible to find remoteness in the Lakes, and even more so in the Eden valley, where I often live.
Thanks to Brexit, British people’s horizons are literally shrinking. And Leavers are so indoctrinated, they celebrate that.
Simple question. How many leavers do you actually speak to? And no, I'm not including social media drivel. You seem awfully keen on generalisations.
I live in one of the more Brexity areas of England now.
I suggest you read the thread and tell me then whether I am unfairly “generalising” about Leaver lunacy.
Yes. I only see HYUFD saying what you quoted, I certainly haven't. Do you think HYUFD represents all Leavers?
He’s not quite as bonkers as you.
I seem to be getting what I've been advocating for a long time at the moment. I feel like with Boris Johnson and his cabinet rejecting the undemocratic backstop - after me arguing here that the backstop was unforgivably undemocratic - that I am winning the argument.
Comments
Keith Brown and Adam Tomkins
THE Scottish Tories have been accused of making “complete fools of themselves” after using a six-year-old quote about wifi at railway stations to attack the SNP over independence.
The SNP said Ruth Davidson’s party was becoming “hysterical”.
It followed the Scottish Tories issuing a press release attacking SNP depute leader Keith Brown after he denied saying independence was a once-in-a-generation vote.
He told Sky News: “It wasn’t something I’ve ever said.”
The Tories then unearthed a quote from Mr Brown before the 2014 referendum in which he said: “The eyes of the world will be on Scotland and we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase what we have to offer as a modern country.”
Tory MSP Adam Tomkins said: “Keith Brown needs to get his story straight on another independence referendum.
“This exposes the deceit that runs right from the top of the SNP down.
“Before the referendum, they were all happy to say it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“After a convincing defeat, they immediately rowed back, to the point where Keith Brown’s now denying having ever said it at all. Voters will see right through this dishonesty.”
However, the source the Tories supplied for the quote showed it came from a BBC story in May 2013 about free wi-fi at 25 of Scotland’s busiest railway stations.
If there'd been some sort of Brexit Commission, with a cross-party negotiating team, there would've been huge rows but we would be out of the EU by now, under some Norway-style arrangement.

"I’ve always said American wine is better than French wine!"
When pointed out that he is teetotal so it is a strange prefence:
“I just like the way they look. American wines are great.”
The backstop was meant to prevent a possible future no deal, not cause an immediate one. If it is bringing about what it was designed to prevent it has failed.
I can recommend the Isle of Wight though. The ferry allows you to imagine you are abroad, and the time travel element is fun. It takes you back a couple of decades...

Hint my last weekend there cost £400 and that was my third choice hotel as we booked at little notice and the others were full.
And they are already fully booked with the Japanese / Europeans as we discovered on a day trip to the Derwent pencil museum at the weekend....

Interventionist government policy may be good when you can afford it. We've not been able to afford such a thing for a very long time.
FX rates are precisely the long term judgement of governments by others, however they spend most of their time correcting for the actions of previous governments because the economists are much like sooth-sayers, but without the charm.
People are acting with mock horror that Boris has priorities. As if Osborne, Cameron, May and Hammond didn't have priorities too. The difference with Corbyn is he doesn't have priorities, he wants to spend money on everything.
Given that why should we expect them to be in a position to talk.
*Though Gibraltar point a couple of miles away is beautiful, and deserted.
Bottom line, there is no escaping the downgrading of your country’s relative value.
The Lakes will likely be even more full with foreign tourists due to the cheap £
Corbyn was never in a million years going to agree to own any "Tory Brexit". Even when May proposed a Brexit almost identical to what he was calling for.
