I don't believe that governments - particularly Conservative governments - are completely free to make policy. Have you ever considered why the press is so relentless in its attempts to besmirch Corbyn? The Establishment is terrified of a non-Establishment figure in Downing St., terrified of a government they can't control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban.spaceman Posted 23 June 2018 Share Posted 23 June 2018 1 hour ago, Buce said: Refusal to acknowledge the existence of the Deep State is naive and goes against all the evidence of history. It is known that the Deep State was working against Harold Wilson in the '60s - the military was even planning a coup at one stage, and we have current Members of Parliament claiming that the Civil Service is working to undermine Brexit even today. We accept without question that the Deep State acts in countries such as Turkey and Egypt; what makes you think we are so different? To get people believe in something you have to provide people with hard evidence that it actually exists. That’s why the number of atheists is soaring in the Western world as well as the Middle East.

It's beyond contradiction in many contemporary countries - Russia, Turkey, Egypt for example. I doubt very much that Trump is being paranoid when he says the US Deep State is trying to bring him down - the evidence certainly points to it. Historically, you have countries like medieval Spain - ostensibly a Monarchy - being run by the Church, the influence of the Templars in Europe... the list goes on. What makes you so sure we are immune to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You enter very dangerous areas when you try to change a democratic vote do you think 17 million people will just shrug their shoulders.

Tbh you have to blame the government for the completely botched negotiations and the leave campaign for denying any downsides which is plainly wrong. They're both to blame for no realistic plan being in place to implement Brexit two years after the original vote. You had public opinion to carry out Brexit but a combination of the above has left opinion shifting with a second referendum clearly being wanted by large numbers of people.

If the deal gets accepted then the deal gets accepted and us remainers would just have to grin and bear it. And hope to God we've been wrong all along. If a remain scenario won (although the politicians want one question with remain as an answer I'd prefer two questions with remain only being an option if the deal is rejected - as I think it'd be unfairly weighed towards remaining otherwise) then I'd love to watch Liam Fox, Boris, ids, jrm and Farage on tv. It'd be brilliant viewing. Leavers make out it'd kick off but they'd have to get over it eventually. We remainers haven't been happy for the last two years but haven't really done much about it but moan a lot. The EU haven't called for a second ref, it's being called for by the British people. All a bit of a moot point though, there needs to be much more noise before the government have to call one. As it stands I'd still bet against.
