Chaos At Dover

[gulliver1]

Thousands of coach and car passengers endured a miserable Wait .
Many of them all through the night for their much awaited Easter Holiday
Stormy weather and the French were blamed by the UK Government .
But the Brits were just getting a taste of what they signed up for with Brexit When voted to become "Third Country Nationals" in the eyes of the EU... And it can only get worse....You are no longer in the EU so you have to join the non EU queues at ports and airports You voted for it . Enjoy.

//i dont think that another political party would have considered to offer brexit as an option to the public..//

They probably would have if they were in government and believed they were to be slung out because of the issue.

.//..but one thing we know for sure is that the conservative party are making all of these decisions and have done now for a very long time...//

That's because they been in government for a very long time.

//...and most recently by unelected heads none of us voted for these people...//

They were elected - by the constituents in the constituency where they stood for Parliament. No Prime Minister is ever elected in the UK. They are chosen by the party which the Monarch believes can command a majority in the House of Commons. Whether that's immediately after a General Election or between times is immaterial.

I'm torn between satire and farce with this name thing.

MissTerious2 demands that her name be used correctly and a moderator replies using a former username.

Can't be both ways, surely?

[naomi24]

Lottie has already said she’s happy for people to use that name, Douglas.

[roadman]

but its not about the head of the eu naomi24 its about our government here and using one bad to distract from another isnt justifiable apart from the money we gave them i cant think of many reasons to leave but feel free to enlighten me how our government was restricted by the head of the eu if anything it makes the conservatives look weak and undermined

[douglas9401]

Flexible rules, depending on the poster, thank you.

[anneasquith]

AB should give the initial poster a bonus, else what would all the abusive abers have to moan to on this quiet Sunday .
There are mods on this thread, why not suspend G for breaking Site Rules ?

[MissTerious2]

Douglas I'm more than happy for anyone to call me Lottie. In fact I prefer it Lottie goes back a long way. And besides it's not insulting. MissTedious is an obvious insult.

[naomi24]

Douglas, the name is perfectly acceptable to lottie. Gulliver’s name for her wasn’t. That doesn’t equate to ’flexible’ rule.

[naomi24]

Anneasquith, I prefer to be fair to all and give some leeway. Only some mind. ;o)

[anneasquith]

Naomi. Has Gulliver broken any Site Rules ?

[MissTerious2]

Anne, are you inferring that Gully is employed by AB ;0).

[naomi24]

Yes.

[anneasquith]

No lottie.
Naomi, why have you not taken some action.
What posts by Gulliver have broken the rules ?

[MissTerious2]

2. Any instances of members referring to other members as anything but their preferred names, preferred prefixes, or preferred pronouns will be removed. Repeated offences will result in suspensions.

[naomi24]

I have taken some action, anneasquith.

[Atheist]

It's nice to see that Users are allowed to ask for their preferred pronoun to be used. :-)

How long have you got?

In general terms the governments of individual EU member nations must agree to incorporate EU directives into their national legislation. If they do not they will be taken to the European Court of Justice, will almost certainly lose and be ordered to do whatever it is they have refused to do. If they still refuse they will face sanctions, usually financial. There is little option about the payment of these because the EU effectively controls a chunk of each member nation's budget - it takes money from the five (now four) net contributors and doles it out to all the members in proportions that it sees fit, to be spent as directed. Any financial sanctions handed down by the ECJ will be settled by adjusting these "grants" (which, in the UK's case, were simply the return of some of its own money). Wherever there are conflicts between national legislation and EU legislation, the EU version takes supremacy.

[MissTerious2]

And his apparent 'mistake' has been repeated. I demand he be marched to the AB dungeon and then beheaded! ;0)

[MissTerious2]

I o ly asked because you used the word bonus Anne ;0)

[Hymie]

Naomi24 and all the other Brexiteers continue with their lies in relation to the un-elected EU commission having control over our laws, while we were in the EU.

The below youtube video is well worth watching in its entirety for what is an amazing insightful interview from Sir John Major as to what awaited us should we vote leave (the interview was conducted before the vote).

But if you are only interested in him explaining this Brexiteer lie, you only need watch the last minute, from 15 minutes in, onwards.
