Happy 'Were out of the EU' Day (part 2) everyone!

Borrowed... Brexit Plan “B” * Quietly Revoke A50 * Tell Brexiteers we’ve left with “No Deal / WTO” * Send all Brexiteers Blue Passport covers * Create special lanes with long delays for UK Blue Passport holders at airports / ports * Charge them for roaming / data * Give them food / medicine ration books * Get on with life Brexit sorted.

I fear you're going to be proved horribly wrong. Capitalism to the Chinese Communist party means patronage. The centralised system picks up failing bits of the economy, and other bits it wants an interest in, because it has the power to do this, and because it wishes to co-opt and control Chinese entrepreneurs. It's much more usual for assets snapped up in this way to be squeezed, or for indebtedness to the state to be increased with demanding loan conditions. (On a much grander scale, take a look at how the Sri Lankans have had to hand over their state-owned ports to China as a result of 'investments' under the notorious Belt & Road Initiative). IF it's true that the CCP has its hands on another chunk of the Gao empire (and it would be surprising if it hasn't), it's almost certainly not good news for Saints.

Control and influence are two different things, especially in China. It's worth the League's while asking questions.

After the Telegraph's ex-political commentator Peter Oborne's renunciation of Brexit, here comes another. Nick Ferrari. https://www.lbc.co.uk/radio/presenters/nick-ferrari/exasperated-reveals-hes-finally-given-up-brexit/ The trickle will soon become a flood, especially if we have another long extension.

That was me. Cut the crap or I'll tell Soros to do it again.

Well I never. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/brexit-made-tories-jihadist-party-14263471 Brexit Jihadism is now officially a thing.

This site must do more to combat racist postings. It contains far too many rants against Jews, Arabs, Muslims in general, and black men who dare to venture an opinion - all without the merest murmur of complaint from the site owners. Not a peep. Please take responsibility for this content and act - because not doing so is making things worse. It's interesting when an old thread is resurrected to see how the diversity of opinion among posters has vastly narrowed down, particularly over the last three years. You've just lost another good poster in Bexy. There are many others who've dropped out without saying why, but the racist neanderthals roaming free on here are likely to be one very good reason.

Politically you're very close. Hypo is one of the most strident and unpleasant racists on here, for reasons that are utterly baffling. Unfortunately the site is somewhat infested with them. Even one of the mods - Lighthouse - can't help slip into trashing an uppity black man, and he's supposed to be regulating racist crap off of this place! He has form. It's good to see the resurgence of anti-racist campaigning in football, but someone should pay a bit more attention to the role played by forums like this one. In that regard, this place should get its house in order. It won't. But it should.

The usual whitesplaining drivel anyone should expect on the 'Let's gripe at the uppity black man' Saintsweb thread part 1,779. Honestly, how the hell do you know this?

How many is 'many', Geert? Evidence please.

Tick tock...

Brilliant. The EU defeats Brexit Jihadists (hereafter BJs) by the simple method of making things idiot-proof.

"An act of white Jihad." Hmmm.

Honestly, JiJo, this is one of your weirdest posts yet - and there's plenty of competition. A deal to keep a scientific project going on short-term funding after a no-deal crash-out represents the tiniest fraction of a single per cent of the British economy. It hardly amounts to a saviour deal for no-deal, does it.

I condemn it absolutely. It would not surprise me in the least that this appalling behaviour is defined as a war crime. It's happened many times before. But the problem you have is that you just self-declared as an antisemite. You've assumed that because I condemn anti-semitism I am bound to support atrocities committed by Israel. Which is of course a classic Jew-hating equation. Jews = Israel, and if Israel is bad, Jews must also be bad. Well done you! You're a true Corbynista!

They were all imbeciles. I walked through them last night, down Whitehall, across Parliament Square and along College Green, and it's hard to imagine any other circumstance in which such a horde of sad sacks would be drawn together in one place. There were only two types. Hardcore, ferociously angry EDL supporters; and hardcore, ferociously angry OAPs, who all, oddly, seemed to be wearing white mops on their heads. And yes, unlike the remoaner march, they were resolutely all white and almost all men. Violence was always an inch away, and their hatred of anyone not them was palpable.

The DUP (Nigel Dodds) have now come out in qualified support of remain. "We will look at any option. At the end of the day why should we believe that it was right to vote Leave? When we were in the EU people were quite happy with that in N Ireland because we were there together with everybody else." Christ, this is so weird.

With the rest of the smug remoaner elite, I'm off to a concert tonight in Smith Square - Beethoven's Ninth, surprisingly. It should easily be loud enough to be heard in Mogg Towers just round the corner...

After nuclear Armageddon, the only survivors will be insects and Boris's Tory leadership ambitions.

Amen. When are the Cobynista boneheads going to accept the plain evidence that their hero is leading (in the loosest possible sense) them, and the rest of us, into a hopeless wilderness, while the worst Tory government in living memory continues to lead the polls into the coming election? At least individual Labour MPs continue to shine. My MP has just won a seven-year-long battle to protect my local hospital. This is what Labour should be for - but to be really effective, and transformative, they need to govern.

I'm hardly a defender of Corbyn, so the whataboutery is a bit lost on me, Jihadi John. But I don't think Corbyn went further than declaring terrorists in Ireland and the Middle East his 'friends'. Which was bad enough. But your messiah is in a different league.

A 'true Brit' who is a leading member of a Loyalist political gang so extreme that it made the IRA look moderate - the IRA signed the Good Friday agreement; the DUP refused. The DUP was directly involved in setting up the terrorist 'paramilitaries' Third Force and Ulster Resistance.

Says the mug whose fancy dress every day is 'January Sale at Top Man'.

This might be taken a bit more seriously. After all, we've already had one remainer MP murdered by a mad Brexiter. Besides, these weren't keyboard warriors. They were people who'd worked out her address and phone number, and made the threats themselves over the phone. So it's a bit more serious than some raging lunatics threatening people, via a football forum, with piano-wire garrottes or to leave remainers with 'rearranged' faces. In general though, violence is very much a Brexiter thing.
