Haaaa! Yes. Been there, heard that. :o)

[cassa333]

Yes you’re right Naomi. She won’t be at the meeting because it is one for EU leaders to plan for no deal. We should be doing the same.

[dannyk13]

Cassa, the government have (allegedly) set out plans for such an event.

[steg]

Aye I can understand what C U Jimmy says, but what the heck is the Des guy saying at the end ?

If ever there were a man 365years ahead of his time this man was him.
This speech was meant for yesterday. Lessons will not be learnt by the mistakes of the past it would appear.

"It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.

Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not barter'd your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?

Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defil'd this sacred place, and turn'd the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress'd, are yourselves gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.



In the name of God, go!"

Oliver Cromwell - April 20, 1653

^And it transpired he was a self-serving hypocrite too.

[Jackdaw33]

"In the name of God, go!"

The same words were said by the Tory MP Leo Amery (whose son was hanged at the end of the war for treason), to Neville Chamberlain in 1940. thus paving the way for Churchill.

I am sure I heard someone quote it in the last few days and remarked about it to my wife.

[cassa333]

Danny, yes they have but not enough to speak of.

They should be paving the way for no deal and advocate it more. That way the remoaners might not be so frightened.

[ludwig]

//They should be paving the way for no deal and advocate it more.//

They should have been doing that from the day after the referendum. That way we might have got an acceptable deal.
