UK to EU: "Give me what I want, or I'll shoot myself in the foot" No wonder the rest of the world rolls its eyes, when it bothers to notice |

As you said, context is important. Criticizing Soros for Black Wednesday in 1992 is OK because he played an important role in it. Although people should be aware that it was the British government that made the mistake of tying the British Pound to European currencies via the European Exchange Rate Mechanism at a time when the economic conditions were not right (hight inflation and high interest rates in the UK). Then the Major government made another mistake in its monetary policy by stubbornly refusing to devalue the Pound until it was too late. But seeing the hand of Soros behind the appointment of May and the opposition to Brexit is just ludicrous. Posts #3595 and #3596 clearly promote the idea of a Jewish conspiracy. Quote:

There are at least dozens of factors more important than this donation that could jeopardize Brexit: the Irish border, the DUP, the Tory hardliners (Rees-Mogg, Johnson, Davis, Gove), proposals from the Labour party, the EU's negotiating stance, MPs having a say on the Brexit deal, Scotland, the timetable, the UK economy, Gibraltar, the May government backpedalling on the divorce bill, any disagreement during the negotiations (on services, fishing rights, expats and the ECJ), etc... |

While I don't think May is a traitor I do think she is not the riht leader for us durin brexit, she was a remainer, and I still think she is at heart and to that end will accept any shitty deal the EU throws our way.
I may be wron on this, but I think we'd be better off if someone with a bit of steel in their backbones were leadin us like ove, Reese-Mo, or ever Farae. they wouldn't put up with half this shit! On a side note, it would seem that my F- -H key has stopped workin. :P |

As you yourself have already accepted and everyone here knows the country is divided so there cannot and will not be a deal that is acceptable to everyone. It's pure fantasy politics. We have already said that any agreements reached through negotiations will be based on compromises and we accept we may not get all we personally want but that is not good enough for you. Your continuing to ask such bland pointless questions is totally irrelevant as you just want to wind the clock back to before the referendum.

Everyone had fair notice of this election. The trouble is they all thought the coffee supping brigade would win, but the people who are fighting to put a roof over their heads and get decent jobs, with a decent pay raise , would be bought for cheap holidays?
We now have no affordable buildings, we retire later, we have no NHS...WTF. Someone has to smell the coffee and soon! Funny, company's have no money to spend on training existing staff, but hell they get tons of cash to train staff to speak english! |

If the NHS has particularly bad staff shortages in certain areas, which they do then .... 1 - HMG should target those areas and offer more training. 2 - We have the whole world to choose candidates from, not just the EU Let's not forget the amount of Asian and African NHS staff we have who do a fantastic job,

Is it possible that the "NHS can't get enough staff from the EU anymore" because uncontrolled immigration from the EU is letting in a far higher number of people who are not qualified to work in the NHS than the number of people who are qualified to work in the NHS, and so the number of staff it gets is always less than that needed to look after the ever-increasing population?
