Democracy in action

There, there, darmie, you don't need to step on every upturned spade. Leave some for sas and scootie.

Adding five ex-Tory MPs for remoan and one for Brexit hardly changes the arithmetic in the HoL.

What she has appointed is actually 9 Brexiteers because, well I think you can probably work out why....

Well, if you say so. I reserve the right to disagree.

And as usual, can't resist the usual delusional remoaner snide dig. I am not, for one thing a typical anything. I am allowed, however, to think we are ultimately better off away from the EU's management. YMMV. I couldn't care less.

Incidentally anyone, including peers of the Realm, who have worked for the EU and so receive a pension from them are required to support and promote the EU or see that pension stop. So take another look at the main opposition Lords...

Your last paragraph is simply not true.

- Farage and the rest of the UKIP MEPs are entitled to receive an EU pension. Are they also required to to support and promote the EU or see their pension stop? No.

- The continuing payment of EU pensions to British citizens (including a minority of the 600 Lords, and all of the UKIP MEPs) is part of the ‘divorce’ payment. It doesn’t matter which way they vote, they are all still expected to receive their pension anyway.

From your posts in the other sub forums, I know you’re better than this.
