You mean we have fantasies about keeping it in and not withdrawing. About pressing on the button. And for the finale "shooting the squirrel"

Lib dems are going to setup a database of anyone flying using your passport number, then ramp up a tax on the flight by more each time you fly. A flight to usa could cost over £1k in tax.

So guys like me, who tend to fly six times a year for work, are now going to get hammered on tax if i fancy a holiday.

My employer and therefore customer will get hammered with a higher bill to cover this extra tax.

fk that.
Until that I had you down as an LD voter/Jo Swinson follower too biggrin

Option 3 I reckon. I don't know whose madcap idea it was in the LibDem Thinktank to come up with their Brexit policy of refuting Article 50 on Day One (in bold on the local LibDem leaflet, but she didn't even go for the People's Vote option (which I can understand but don't agree with) which is bordering insane.
Can a party where its leader has publicly stated they will ignore the result of a democratic vote when it does not go the way they wanted it to, still use the word democrat in its title?
Perhaps they should be re named the liberally undemocratic party.
As someone who voted remain, but will be voting Conservative and believe we need to get on and leave, I don't see the problem with the Lib Dem policy on Article 50.

Let's face it, they've nailed their flag firmly to the mast and set out their goal - to cancel Brexit, without putting it to another vote. If by some miracle they won enough votes to get into power then that would surely be enough of a mandate to do so. The reality is that in order to get into power they'll need millions of leave supporters to either change their minds, or be apathetical enough to not care, to actually vote Lib Dem. The Lib Dems know that won't happen but are hoping it is enough to attract dissatisfied Tory/Labour voters and win them more seats, enough so for them to potentially become kingmakers again.
But, surely, they'll lose their LibDem supporter who voted to Leave ?

They obviously don’t care too much for the environment what with all the junk mail they’re sending. We’re getting three or four a week addressed to my two teenage kids.

She got a well deserved pasting last night. Her only defence was playing the honesty card, 'we got things wrong' ad infinitum, demonstrating nothing other than an ability to get things wrong, not something I'm especially looking for in a politician.

I'm not a Jo fan but the women came across as more passionate regarding their causes.

... which is an ideal trait in an opposition back-bench politician.

She seemed desperate. Twice I thought she was close to tears. It's like watching new mums meeting in a church hall, sitting on the floor in a circle with their babies' heads wobbling. If that's the alternative, I dread to think of her at the Despatch Box at PMQ's.

I think her whiny voice, with pretending-not-to-be-Scottish accent, grates on me most.
LD policies are utterly laughable.
Quite nice legs though....getmecoat

She just seems to be Opposite Girl.

She has a track record of voting for ( insert X here ).
This time round her policies are the opposite of ( insert X here ).

I think she has had a sharp dose of reality from the audience.

How do you clap in Scottish? A serious question, there was so much more for Wee Burnie than any of the others. That audience was like an invasion, more suited to North of the border where she is actually, in a Minor way, relevant. Further, they were angry at everybody but her and pointedly argumentative. Maybe secession is a good thing.

I genuinely thought she was from the west country.

Why hide your accent?
