Last Of The Summer Whine?

[vetuste_ennemi]

No, they won't go away; Cleggy's still at it in the "Brexit Lecture".

A few sound bytes from the Cleggy tour de force:

S of the BO: "No mandate lasts for ever".

The broken lift - confused on so many levels - statement of principle: "Parliament should not vote for a future whose details are so poorly defined".

And - pièce de résistance - by way of illustrating his SOBO point: "One election is followed by another election is followed by...". A "killer" argument to Clegg obviously, but one that manages to elide the (to some of us) non-trivial detail that the space between elections is occupied by a democratically elected government which - just possibly - as much as half the electorate doesn't like very much

[Theland]

I think we have a lot to fear from Clegg, Blair, and Co, and Soros's money, as they manoeuvre to derail Brexit.
Democracy, at the moment, doesn't suit them.
I hope a Brexit big hitter comes along soon to rescue us from these people.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Brexit big hitter, eh, Theland?

At a time when few politicians, and probably very few of the general public, had an appetite for war and would have accepted almost any accommodation with Hitler to avoid it only one man understood the nature of the threat and how its ambitions would be whetted rather than assuaged by concessions.

We know many people who claim to be Brexiteers who clearly aren't Churchills.

On the broad themes of Germany and fascists we can see akind of Aldi parallel, can't we?

[vetuste_ennemi]

(Do hope that keyword "Aldi" doesn't trigger a "post removed")

[Theland]

Ah yes. Beware the Aldinistas, a growing danger to us all.
Now who could be our Churchill?
Or a close second?

[Gromit]

Er, what is this rubbish?
As presented, it feels like am listened to two nutters on the bus - vaguely amusing but I don’t have a clue what they are on about. Is Aldi some kind of metaphor?

A link might help.

[sandyRoe]

A lidl word like 'Aldi' can trigger a post removal?

[vetuste_ennemi]

"A link might help"

In many cases, yes, Gromit.

Not necessarily in yours.

[fiction-factory]

ALDI is T.R.O.P. I think from a previous thread, Gromit

[Gromit]

// ALDI is T.R.O.P. // ?

Er, dare I ask, what is T.R.O.P?
I just googled it but assume ‘Tax Refund Offset Program’ is not the meaning in this instance.

[fiction-factory]

Maybe it was LIDL that was the code word for TROP. I think you probably have heard the acronym TROP before on AB Gromit

[mushroom25]

//At a time when few politicians, and probably very few of the general public, had an appetite for war and would have accepted almost any accommodation with Hitler to avoid it....//

since Godwin's Law has already been invoked - in their avoidance attempts during the early days, the British created the circumstances that led to the Venlo Incident (q/v) which, rather than ending hostilities, gave Hitler the excuse he needed to annex the neutral Netherlands. Just wonder what unintended consequences we'll be faced with as each side gets increasingly wound up about ensuring its own stance prevails?

[Gromit]

Ah, the AB site managers put a filter on R0P = Religion Of Peace, so to still use the term is is now TR0P = The Religion of Peace.
OK, but the substition with Aldi?

[Peter Pedant]

// No, they won't go away; He's still at it in the "Brexit" lecture.//

yeah god - they dont go away on AB here
a brexit thread at least every day - same old same old.
Brexiters never give up. On and on they go - "we had a majority of 0.5% and so that allows us impoverish everyone but more you than me".... shoot them all I say. Bus them down to Mati or something

oh sorry ! you were talking about the remoaners !
oops my bad

[Peter Pedant]

eek I dont do crosswords but trop
is associated wivda ..... religion of peace innit ?

3T speak incarcerates us all ....

eek this wont go down the tube innit ?

[Peter Pedant]

// A lidl word like 'Aldi' can trigger a post removal?//

Tez cobblers - that's what I say...

[Peter Pedant]

// had an appetite for war and would have accepted almost any accommodation with Hitler//

Nope - by 1939 the hope of peace had gone - I cant remember when gas masks were issued. The Nazi-Soviet Pact was like a thunderclap and everyone knew war was inevitable.

but hey - if History doesnt fit
rewrite it so it does !

History is as we know a social construct of the time in which we live....

[cassa333]

Brexiteers may have a daily thread or two on hear but it is usually in reply to some piece in the media.

Therefore blame the media not Brexiteers.

If *** is not countered *** becomes accepted or true.

In some cases the retort, or reply if you like is because the original media indicates there is someone, usually someone who at some point had a bit of power or someone who wants a bit more now, has made a comment or suggestion that democracy is in some way circumnavigated or changed to suit their agenda.

[cassa333]

Oh and PP, if democracy doesn’t fit re-write it!!!

[Khandro]

Free Tommy Robinson!

[Gromit]

Been out, hoped this thread would eventually make semse. It doesn’t.
Theland and VE are hopefully sleeping it off, ready for another round of Nocturnal fumblings in the middle of the night.
