Decent speech from Major, not that anyone will listen of course. In fact the worst of the Usual Suspects have already started bitching ::::

I doubt I'm interested in someone's opinion who thought that signing up to the Maastricht treaty was a good idea. Just another remainer desperate to spin and stop the decision. This time by saying folk are going to regret the cost of getting their country back when past predictions of doom & gloom still haven't occurred. Simply not significant, just another doomsayer.

‘Isolation’? How ridiculous! Doom mongering at its finest!

Your ‘usual suspects’ certainly get about, Mikey!

[Gromit]

Major was a pretty terrible PM and no one listened to him then, so why should they now?
Blair, Clarke, Hestletine, and Major were all enthusiastic Europhiles who signed us up to everything without much public debate. Maastrict and Lisbon were rubber stamped without any public consultation. Now, suddenly, they want to talk, after they have already lost the debate.

[youngmafbog]

A decent speech ? REally? Were you listening to the same one I was?

How can someone engage in decent debate with a man that calls a democratic vote to leave a 'historic mistake' Mr Major the historic mistakes were you, Maastricht then Blair and his treachery.

Mjor will only be remembered for tucking his shirt in his pants and eating peas and Curry.

Go and crawl back under your stone Major.

Interesting to see Mickey is turning Tory now though? Still Mickey hates democracy it would appear so perhaps not such a surprise.

Just more sour grapes from a has-been , or more likely a never-was.

Hmmm!

[ToraToraTora]

"decent speech" - you mean he agrees with you then! PMSL! Just another whinge like Saint Tony last week, how dare the people vote the wrong way, they must be thick, we need to correct their errant ways to save them from themselves. Cobras.

It is interesting how the yesterday's men - Blair, Major and Hesletine are all getting on their hind legs to lecture the electorate on the error of their ways.

They will be ignored for the irrelavence that they are.

They continue to demolish what little remains of their dignity by this unseemly pompous approach - with the exception of Blair, the holiest-than-thou of all, who obviously has no shred of dignity left to lose.

[ToraToraTora]

I think the irony is probably lost on these old fellas but one of the reasons people voted brexit was because of this superior, nose in air, lecturing of the public they indulge in.

[andy-hughes]

TTT - //I think the irony is probably lost on these old fellas but one of the reasons people voted brexit was because of this superior, nose in air, lecturing of the public they indulge in. //

I firmly believe that a major reason why the electorate voted to leave was the perception that their lives are controlled by remote rich uncaring bureaucrats - and I agree, the nonsense being ladled out by these has-beens simply underlines the fact that the electorate made the correct decision.

[vulcan42]

Major has joined the gang that wants the UK to fail just so they can prove themselves right and say "we told you so", how pathetic.

[ToraToraTora]

Sadly vulcan, we are riddled with those with this na na nana na, attitude that will do what they can to obstruct and fail so they can do exactly that.

[andy-hughes]

I have to agree with Vulcan on this.

Modern politics is sadly bound up with self-agrandaisement, and when, as in this case, it comes with nothing in mitigation such as the genuine interests of the electorate, and it is being spouted by exactly the sort of non-elected mandarins that we voted to ditch, it is unseemly and a serious waste of everyone's time.

Just keep up the family tradition. There is always one clown in a circus.
