    They probably want to go back a bit further maybe take the vote of women and those who dont own property get rid of the minimum wage and child labour laws and sell off the health service so there is always a charge for treatment etc.
    I thought originally we were trying to go back to the halcyon days of 1970 but I am now thinking 1870 is the target

    Some of the funding is definitely coming from Russia - its not hard to figure out why they think this is a great investment, the rest from offshore capitalists who presumably think there is money to be made by wrecking a country

    What a load of tosh!!! What would the Tories gain from that? They’d be out come the next election if not before. We will be fine after brexit, don’t worry. Talk of going back to 70’s and child labour is absolute boll.ocks. We do not need the EU to survive for f.ucks sake!!!!

    What? That child labour will be coming back and as a country we’ll be going back to the 1970’s(or even 1870 as quoted) really?!!!!

    You know that’s not what I’m asking. We will be fine after Brexit? Boris told you? Nigel told you?

    We will be fine, I haven’t got any evidence but neither have you. Do you think the country’s just going to grind to a halt when we’ve officially left the EU? No, it isn’t. Deal or no Deal we’ll be ok. The biggest danger isn’t Brexit anyway, it’s Covid and our ability to recover from it.

    It’s both! I’ve been in sales all my life and I never won a deal by bullying a customer. As long as we see Europe and the rest of the world as adversaries because of our Englishness we will not be alright.
    Reneging on agreements and breaking international law is not alright.

    Didn't they tell you? In their Brave Old World there won't BE a next election. Just a few Rotten Boroughs ruled by the landed gentry. And Demonic Cummings.

    You're presuming that Johnson and Co. care about the Conservative Party and its future rather than just about themselves.

    So the EU haven’t tried bullying us? Don’t believe everything you see on MSM regarding breaking international law.

    We voluntarily signed the Withdrawal Agreement and then Johnson campaigned on it and won with a landslide, it's the exact same document now with the same wording and terms etc. as it was when we signed it. How can it have been 'oven ready' then and now it's being used as an excuse to break international law when it's the literally the exact same printed document he cheerily signed his name to and lauded as a great deal? It's not like the EU have been tippexing bits out; nothing has changed apart from the government's stance on it.

    You won’t believe anything that challenges your view. A government minister has admitted in parliament that they are breaking international law. What will it take for you to believe that these shysters are corrupt?

    I'll post this every time someone suggests that the temperature fluctuations are earth's "natural cycle"

    I think both the EU and The Uk govt have acted corruptly at various points over the last 4 yrs. I just probably take the UK’s side rather the the EU
    All you’ve showed there is some kids graph supposedly showing temperatures from years ago, how the fu.ck anyone knows the temperature 20,000 years ago I don’t know. But throughout most of that time the temps are on 0 and then suddenly shoots up at the present day. It doesn’t prove fuc.k all, just looks like some kid as drawn it tbh.

    It's far from a kid's graph. The papers which provide the data are noted in the right hand side margin near the top; feel free to read them.

    Have a look at https://www.floodmap.net/

    This is what it looks like with a 3m sea level rise. Doncaster becomes a coast town and we lose Grimsby and Hull (some might not see a problem with that!), Finningley Airport and big chunks of South Yorkshire and Lincolnshire - this is currently predicted for 2100.

    The good news is at 50m, Barnsley becomes a coastal town (although we've lost the Dearne Valley).

    According to this piece in Nature (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-12808-z#:~:text=For one moderate future scenario,(30–60) million.), around 150m people could be displaced by 2050 - rising to 300m if Antarctica is disturbed and 300m by the end of the century.
