Yes, I get that, but they didn’t cooperate so didn’t get in.

Don’t get your second comment, it’s leaving (or trying to leave) thats causing division.

Another day another outcome. Interestingly a Lib Dem seat until 2015.

Merely an observation while watching the divisions widen. Not just in the UK but elsewhere. Old wounds never really heal. Angst is carried forward from generation to generation.

If you add the engineered famines, the slave trade, deaths in concentration camps, and the deaths through various partitions, to the number of people across the world that the British Empire just murdered in pursuit of turning the map pink, the death toll runs into millions.

You might want to spend less time ogling German history and more time investigating your own country's bloody handprints.

You might want to spend more time considering the number of people across the world that the Romans murdered in pursuit of another EU-type empire if you're that desperate to use ridiculous historic comparisons rather than face up to the fact that across your beloved EU, more and more of its' citizenry are disillusioned with the project.

It's really amusing how you hate the former British empire yet love the outmoded EU one.

Was it? That's news to me. Racism in the UK is somewhat removed from 200 years of German history and the eventual rise of Facism.

Of course it's news to you

The Germans, Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italians and Belgians can all be accused of the same thing. The cuddly Belgians were the worst of the lot.

But don’t let your prejudices get in the way of facts.

I guess when you hang round all day with anti-semites* it’s hard to not let your prejudices get in the way.

*other equally nasty people also exist too

General election soon most likely, best case scenario at the moment a progressive alliance with a stymied Lib-Lab government. At least that would get Johnson's cabal of far right maniacs out.

Having been driven out of the Labour Party for being a Blairite I joined the Lib Dem’s - i’ll Be beyond !!!!ed off if Swinson gives my vote to Labour in a Lib- Lab pact. I feel confident that Jo won’t do that...EVER

Conservatives and brexit party are standing against each other and splitting the leave vote.

You bet this will be the same at a GE if held this year, this is no.1 issue.

Whatever your politics the remain parties are handling this better tactically.

In the end there are Labour Leave voters who will vote Brexit Party but never vote Tory. There is a limit to how much BP vote can go Tory.

Well an anecdote of one, but maybe that’s the difference?
I’ll vote for any party that would likely deliver a remain vote, as it happens it’s a two horse race in my constituency.

Having left the Lib Dems due to their goldfish like memory about their election promises I can assure you that Jo will do and say whatever she thinks will get her into Downing Street.

I spent most of the day in the garden with the cat and the kids. Maybe the anti-Semites were hiding behind the shed along with this week's £350 million for the NHS.
