So not content with recklessly endangering the Northern Ireland peace process with an ill-thought out referendum, the Tory Front runner is now a man who called the good friday agreement a 'moral stain' and an 'indelible mark' against the British government.

Looks like we may be back to the 70's in more ways than one.

A bit like how Guns'n'Roses these days is Axl Rose plus some session musicians because he owns the rights to the name?
someone needs to brush up on their GnR infighting and drama, THE BAND IS BACK TOGETHER, Slash and Axl are on the same stage this summer. It shows how people can put their differences behind them and get together to make all the eighties dinosaur rock fans happy.

Never really paid attention to Gove before now, overshadowed as he was by the pigfucker and that freak Osbourne.

He's like a whole new genre of despicable Tory weirdness.

Those of us who had the 'pleasure' of his tenure over in the Education dept are fully aware of his brand of 'despicable Tory weirdness' and live with its consequences daily...

Such a shame that we can't have people in charge who are actually qualified to run what they're put in charge of.

We test people for all sorts of job competencies, why not MPs too? Including some sort of polygraph-overseen ethics examination.

I stand corrected, thanks for that.

the palm tree in mile end a pub i had been kicked out of in semi-disgrace about a fortnight earlier

How weird - I was literally just telling Ashe about that incident a couple of hours ago, before reading this thread.

Economists give there opinions on whether we'll have a technical recession. They're pretty much unanimous in saying it's bad news for growth, jobs, public spending, etc.

Krugman doesn't think so. "Economists have very good reasons to believe that Brexit will do bad things in the long run, but are strongly tempted to sex up their arguments by making very dubious claims about the short run."

Folks, we ay have just got ourselves a new democratic mandate.

"It also suggested if there was a second referendum now Remain would win comfortably.

If there was a second referendum now, Remain would gain 45 per cent backing, compared to 40 per cent for Out, with 15 per cent “don’t knows” or “prefer not to say”.

Thirteen per cent of Leavers regret their decision to some degree, with around a third of them saying they would change the way they voted.

While nearly two thirds believe they were misled by the Leave campaign’s flagship pledge to give the NHS £350 million which it claimed was being sent a week to Brussels.

The poll also found that five per cent of people who voted Leave on June 23 would now do the opposite, while two per cent who backed In would switch sides.

Looking at the 28 per cent of the country who did not vote, more than four in ten have
regrets.
Among this group, 52 per cent of 18 to 24-year-olds said they wished they had voted, as did more than six out of ten 34 to 44-year-olds.

The majority of those who did not vote but wished they had say they would vote Remain if there was a second referendum."
