Poll commissioned by Tony Blair says Britons DO want Hard Brexit and demand fewer migrants, demolishing the ex-PM's claims that the country doesn't want to leave the EU
.
Tony Blair has insisted voters are changing their minds on Brexit – despite his own opinion poll showing overwhelming support for leaving the EU.
The former prime minister claimed it is ‘possible now that Brexit doesn’t happen’ as ‘public opinion is moving’.
But he was undermined by a poll he commissioned which revealed 56 per cent believe ‘Brexit must mean Brexit’.

UK risks being ‘wiped off the map with nuclear counterstrike’
Russian senator
Makes sense
Am not sure, either PM May a total idi*t, or she thinking others idi*t.
When she says UK would not hesitate to launch a preemptive nuclear strike .. what should China and Russia think of that ? ? ?
And .. that validates Ayatollahs now being a "nuclear power" .. thanks God our beloved Persia now a nuclear power.

UK risks being ‘wiped off the map with nuclear counterstrike’
Russian senator
The UK, which recently said it could launch a preemptive nuclear strike “in the most extreme circumstances,” runs the risk of being “wiped off the face of the Earth,” the deputy head of a Russian upper house committee said.
“The statement made by UK’s Defense Minister Michael Fallon calls for a harsh response and I’m not afraid of going too far. At best this statement may be seen as an element of a psychological war, which looks especially revolting in this context,” Frants Klintsevich wrote on Facebook.
“There is a quite natural question then: what country could be primitively targeted by the UK?” the deputy head of the Federation Council’s Committee for Defense and Security said.
In case the UK strikes a nuclear power, then “the UK, which doesn’t have vast territory, will be literally wiped off from the face of the earth with a counterstrike,” Klintsevich said.
In the event of targeting a non-nuclear country, this will remind of the US nuclear attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he added.

Idi0t spotted in the Russian Senate

The UK, which recently said it could launch a preemptive nuclear strike “in the most extreme circumstances,” runs the risk of being “wiped off the face of the Earth,” the deputy head of a Russian upper house committee said.
Then, that Russian senator is either:
a) totally misinformed or
b) an idi0t.
Michael Fallon did not speak of any "preemptive nuclear strike", contrary to what Mr Klintsevich believes. He said:
Which is a simple and straightforward consequence of the fact that it is possible to threaten or destroy what is vital to British people, such as independence of their country or survival of its population, even without using nuclear weapons.Theresa May would fire Britain’s nuclear weapons as a ‘first strike’ if necessary, the Defence Secretary has said. Michael Fallon said the Prime Minister was prepared to launch Trident in “the most extreme circumstances”, even if Britain itself was not under nuclear attack.
For whoever had not readily understood, Fallon further added:
This is incidentally the same as Russian doctrine on nuclear weapons:The whole point about the deterrent is that you have got to leave uncertainty in the mind of anyone who might be thinking of using weapons against this country.
The Russian Federation shall reserve the right to use nuclear weapons in response to the use of nuclear and other types of weapons of mass destruction against it and/or its allies, as well as in the event of aggression against the Russian Federation with the use of conventional weapons when the very existence of the state is in jeopardy.

Alexis, Brits consider a lot of things as "British Vital Interest" .. you remember Tatcher ordered British nuclear subs to torpedo "General Belgrano" when Argentines were defending their territory Malvinas ?
Brits might suddenly think they have to defend their Monkey Sheikhs in Persian Golf and Nuke Iran
In that sense, mad mullahs have to be idi*ts not to have their own nuke ready, just in case.
Re Russian Senator, Russians hate jokes, better be careful
And .. Look, Alexis, those who where empires, now no more, they must learn to "fit in" with the other EX, like Portugal and and
You really think Chinese have forgotten all those nasty things Brits did to Chinese not even 100 yrs ago ?
No such thing as "deterrent" .. you nuke the other guy, you will be nuked .. pretty much double suicide .. it ain't so that you nuke the other side and nothing happens thereafter, not anymore.
So, May better watch her thong

Re: The U.K.
http://www.politico.eu/article/us-round ... es-deepen/The U.S. and other international trade heavyweights have dashed Prime Minister Theresa May’s hopes of a smooth Brexit by rejecting one of her core plans for reintegrating into global trade networks.
Washington’s slap-down of Britain is the second big trade reality check for May in less than a fortnight. Only last week, the U.K.’s increasingly fragile position in trade disputes was exposed by the country’s inability to prevent new, ultra-high tariffs from the U.S. that could hit thousands of jobs in a plane factory in Northern Ireland.
In a fast-developing second trade spat, Washington has teamed up with Brazil, Argentina, Canada, New Zealand, Uruguay and Thailand to reject Britain’s proposed import arrangements for crucial agricultural goods such as meat, sugar and grains after Brexit. The fact that the U.K.’s opponents include the U.S., Canada and New Zealand is a significant setback because Britain is trying to style its former colonies as natural strategic and commercial allies after it has quit the EU.

+1 to those two British heroes.
Doesn't seem too far away that free speech, classical liberalism, will be defended with clubs in the UK against the clubs of antifa. From clubs to guns when the state is betraying its classical liberal foundation. The moment blasphemy laws enter the toxic mix being critical of Islam will be considered blasphemous and punishable (on top of being Islamophobic and racist of course) serious instability and more violence seem inevitable. With more extremism on the toxic left and the toxic right as expected.

Re: The U.K.
caught a short interview with this charming young lady on Tucker Carlson's show....
in the good ole days, she would have been viewed as "open minded."
https://www.city-journal.org/html/speak ... 15662.html
" To say that she is unafraid of controversy or criticism is to understate the case. They are her stock-in-trade. Whatever her other qualities, she is certainly valiant....
If she had espoused views other than the ones that she actually holds, she might have expected sympathy and even admiration for her personal courage; but being, on the contrary, an outspoken, not to say militant, mocker of current political pieties, she is herself the object of the most severe objurgation, with no allowances made....
If Hopkins did not exist, it would be necessary to invent her....
No doubt she is a terrible simplificatrice, but her simplifications often contain more truth than her detractors’ supposedly sophisticated arguments. Moreover, she appears genuinely not to mind when attacked on television or in print or on social media: she accepts with good grace the fact that, if you express opinions in public, you must expect criticism and detraction, fair or otherwise, though she always returns blow for blow. She laughs at insults.

We have had so many of these revelations now - the question has now turned to "and what".
i suspect we are now like china and the fear of civil turmoil and anarchy is far more worrisome than the threat of pernicious authorities.
I wonder how that could ever change.

I think I preferred British heroes back when they were mutton-chopped and pith-helmeted genocidaires. These whining racist trolls and their "free speech" grift is harder to respect.
Edge to "Sargon" over "Tommy" though. "Sargon" is just a bore, "Tommy" is a neo-nazi and always has been.
