I presume it was just flying over central London anyway. I would assume that permission for banner flying over central London has to be obtained quite a bit in advance.

But the Leave campaign seems determined now to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

OK - not "normal" UKIP then. That's all right.
It's not that far more extreme than the leaflet published by UKIP Heel Hempstead claiming remaining in would result in Turkey joining the EU next year, the end of the Royal Family, etc.

You can call it extreme, but it's only a mild exaggeration, and actually a reasonably plausible depiction of the medium term future.

2014 was stated as the earliest year Turkey could be considered for membership, the EU has gifted them billions in preparation, it was certainly a 5-10 year prospect before it became embarrassing in the context of the Brexit campaign and the immigration issue.

The other things in that leaflet are a reasonable depiction of the EUs thinly veiled federalist aims and natural consequences thereof.

Divide and conquer? Have you forgotten already?

"...the Germans, who are among the most vocal supporters of trans-nationality, will use it as a tool to dismantle nation states by strengthening and enhancing the regional templates."

TransManche region, Kent, East Sussex & northern France.
North Sea region, eastern England and vast areas of Scandinavia, Germany and the Low Countries.
etc.

It's easy to ridicule people, but there are a lot of reasons to be seriously worried about the future of Britain in the EU.

As for Jo Cox, maybe there are some people with views that should not become MPs.

Just as people with some views should not become climate scientists.

Logic, not emotions, should rule, and there is a thin line between right and wrong, and so called noble-cause corruption is undemocratic, and most definitely wrong.

Because if they do, people like you think it OK to kill them?

Really?

That would be a real shame as this flight had nothing to do with the leave campaign.

The article says that it was undertaken independently by Britten Norman, the manufacturer of the aircraft involved.

But I guess Remain have already shown that they will not let the facts get in the way of an opportunity for gain.

They instigated the whole thing, and then screwed it up. The technique seems to involve destruction and negativity rather than galvanising and motivation. They preach to the converted, every so often you think "they've got a point" then they'll drop a bombshell that makes you think again.

Leave should have done better, they needed the kippers support, then the kippers knock it all down again.
I tend to agree...but was rather hoping the public would be able to listen to the core message rather than some of the more jingoistic stuff.

Why should people with views like Jo Cox not be elected by constituents as MPs?

I see that some people just cant help themselves. They say how dreadful it all is how their feelings are with the family. They drone on in their condescending way.
But they just cant, really cant help themselves can they

This thread has become nothing more than an argument about the vote, and worse, denegration of th victim, despite so many posters having an opinion earlier in the thread that the incident could have nothing to do with politics and was simply a murder by a deranged nutter.


The thread should be closed, and a new one can open when the trial begins.


RIP Jo Cox.

GrimNasty was telling us last week that people with depression didn't have the capacity for rational thought so his views are probably stuck in the dark ages on most things.

When people with depression go through a tough patch, I'd say he is right frown

The Jingoistic stuff has overshadowed the core message, it's all become political. Many kippers actually believe they're voting DC out, and one day NF will be in office.

Of all the utter crap that has been spouted on both sides of the debate in these forums over the last few weeks, that might be the winner.

Could it be said that your first sentence, of the first paragraph neatly describes your comments in the second paragraph?
Well you could knock me down with a feather. Same old same old.

so it's a slur becasue despite the clear and unambiguous nature of the biased and bigoted nature of a proportion of the 'powerfully built , be-goatteed company directors' from the effluent they crayon across the site day in day out without factual basis or evidence.

Ph-this, ph-members that. This is a now forum trope of the avid 'signaller', and it runs like any other form of bigotry, complete with a recipe of self-righteousness, conflicts of interest and entitlement.
as opposed to the lack of insight and self awareness that provides echochambers opportunity to thrive by harassing any dissenters out ... it's although the past 80 or so years never happened ...
