If only he had been as forthright as this, he might not have lost the 1997 Election so badly.

[Baldric]

He just did!

Haaaaaaa! I know.

One problem is that John has lost all credibility since signing up to Maastricht.

He now refers to misleading and deceit, but fails to notice the remain camp do this by far the most with their scare stories. He claims information on immigration and the NHS is false, when it is common sense. He uses insults such as "court jester" when he knows he has nothing else to fall back on. He claims leave has lost the economic argument when no one who has been paying attention could conclude anything of the sort. It is fear stories by his favoured remain party he should be checking out. He speaks of the NHS not being safe in Tory hands which we already know and has nothing to do with the referendum. He makes out the the leave battle bus is showing an incorrect figure when it is generally agreed it is correct before any money returns to us.

I don't see why anyone would give him any heed let alone proudly point out his strange arguments.

Oxymoron time again.

[Baldric]

///mikey does sometimes just burger off from a thread when posed with a question that either he can't or won't answer///

Is it possible he's done so yet again?

I'm reminded of this:
"The quiet man is here to stay, and he's turning up the volume", Ian Duncan Smith said.
Nether of them particularly quiet in this increasingly acrimonious Tory tiff.

John Major said this morning that Brexit were running a deceitful,misleading
campaign. I assume that means that Cameron is telling the truth then.

The BBC is one of the most respected organisations in the world. The Daily Mail isn't.

[Baldric]

The Mail do seem to get access to some interesting snaps though.

//The BBC is one of the most respected organisations in the world.//

Substitute was for is and the statement is right. Now it is all in their own minds, and the minds of the brainwashed. Newspeak.

[Svejk]

The Mail is on your side, Marshy. Doh.

[Svejk]

Only mikey and Edwina Currie could swallow anything from John Major.

[retrocop]

What are you trying to say Svejk ? Spit it out !

[mikey4444]

I always know when others have lost an argument here on AB and its when they stop debating about the message and start shooting the messenger.

[naomi24]

Mikey, I think people here are still trying to ascertain what your message is.

[Baldric]

That still doesn't answer the questions though.
