Polls cannit be trusted in regards to Brexit. That is a proven fact. All this sore loser bleating is amusing though..
As for making the plane circle. .. great example of how the EU are complete and utter petty fluffybunnies
absolutely no doubt that was a decision made by the EU, no doubt at all. they totally would have voted on having planes circle unnecessarily - probably one of the first measures proposed.
Glad you agree that it is typical behaviour of the EU to decide to classify UK flights as international.
More typical of some Corsican fluffy bunny at Figari airport. No such issues with No2 daughter when flying into Nice.
As an aside, Nice airport is a fantastic place for grumble watching. it is stacked with chic, hot females over a wide enough age range to satisfy both @MN5 and @mariner4life.

I'll gladly give @mariner4life a hoon at the mingas that I don't want. I'm a good fluffybunny like that.

yeah, which hasn't actually happened - but don't let that stop you.
it will happen in the future i assume, as a logical consequence of the referendum decision which you are so in favour of. i.e. not the decision of the eu, but the decision of the brits. -

EasyJet are one and I think I read about one of the holiday charter ones as well.

So resurrecting this because I've been becoming increasingly aware of a certain gentleman in the UK gaining in popularity and I'm starting to think he might just have the goods to save Britain from the uselessness of May and the sheer dangerous idiocy of Corbyn.
Has anyone else thoughts on Jacob Rees-Mogg, and his potential for leadership especially around Brexit?
This was just from a few days ago standing up to Antifa.

@crucial Ha! a mate recently told me he was 'just a joke' and now you're throwing that all too familiar literally hitler reference...starting to sound a lot like everyones favourite orange president! Very promising, very promising indeed!

@rembrandt From what I’ve seen of him he’s certainly odd. But he’s obviously a very clever man and a lot of the negative opinion is a reaction to his plummy voice. There’s no shortage of people in the U.K. who assume that anybody who talks like him is automatically a shit.
I will tell you one thing though, I would not have had the self control needed to refrain from punching that loudmouth capped fluffybunny in the throat. What a fucking oxygen thief.

@jc I thought it was absolutely ground breaking how the Moggmeister reacted there. From my time in the UK I have had the exact same impression as most in regards to his accent. I just assumed he would get flabbergasted and shy away from the whole situation and maybe follow that safe-space cadet May's lead in calling for extra protections for politicians on campus. But no, this dapper gentleman fearlessly charged right the fuck into the fray. Now I've personally been involved in antifa arguments and that shit is bloody scary, they wear masks, are completely deranged and aren't opposed to using weapons to cover for their incredibly low testosterone levels. He took a calculated risk and got his hands dirty, he may sound like a ponce but he's quite tough and surprisingly relatable, perhaps due to his blatant honestly, look at how he talks with that labour MP in that last video I put up. She's clearly a bit of a virtue signalling moron but he never talks down to her and comes across as odd but also really likeable. I love his point about how he is now the anti-establishment..he's completely right about that.
He's also a bit of a wild card in his own party giving them shit about how they are handling the Brexit situation. This is a great clip of him grilling the Brexit Secretary David Davis.
Brave, strong values, intelligent, well spoken, funny, honest and surprisingly real. He'd get my vote.

The guy is a posh version of Farage as far as his 'Britain is a white country' views and has personally declared objections to gay marriage and abortion (views he is perfectly entitled to do).
He can sometimes appear as if a declaration of support from Eric Clapton will send him over the line and go full Enoch Powell.Don't discount how much the plummy voice is a negative though. One of the big negatives May faces is that she doesn't come across as empathetic to much of the populace and she isn't even posh.
Much of the support for stupid 'take Britain back to 1952' Corbyn is because of his 'everyman' appeal. -
On Jacob Rees-Mogg, I am keen to know more about him. One thing I am very wary of these days is people that lean very far to the right picking up a following based purely on critiquing the far left, without really showing their true colours. Not saying this new chap is like that at all, but the more territory the far left take, the more likely it is there will be people very far to the right gaining popularity just by pushing back and that concerns me a bit.

You put the statement in quotes.. who were you quoting, as it seems like you were trying to attribute that quote to Farage.
Sounds like the usual baseless left wing smear. -

What has he said that is 'far right'?Nothing to my knowledge, sorry was trying to make a more general point about the rise of people on the far right purely as a response to the spread of Marxism. Nothing to do with Rees-Mogg.

@baronsilasgreenback For what it's worth - this from the Wiki page on Rees-Mogg which I checked out after reading about him on here as he had largely escaped my notice. His old man was a pompous twat so hardly surprising he's being accused of the same.
Surely his privileged upbringing, avowed distance from every day life experience of most Brit's renders him unacceptable as leader to a majority. Imagine a choice between Corbyn wanting to turn the clock back to the 1950's and this guy the 1850's
"In 2006, Rees-Mogg criticised efforts by Conservative leader David Cameron to increase the numbers of ethnic minorities on the party candidate list, stating, "Ninety-five per cent of this country is white. The list can't be totally different from the country at large."...
"In May 2013, he addressed the annual dinner held by Traditional Britain, a right-wing extremist group that calls for non-white Britons to be deported. Rees-Mogg had been informed as to the nature of the group by anti-fascist group Searchlight prior to is attendance. After the dinner, he informed the press that although he had been informed of the group's views, he had "never been a member or supporter" of them"
