I think you’ve seriously missed the point here. It’s not ‘mocking’ when you say that paying your taxes is patriotic. If you think that ... no words.
We took to the streets to ask whether people felt that Brexit was living up to the promises made by the Leave campaign: cheaper food, better NHS, less red tape.
Esther McVey says anything and everything that comes into her head with no filter, comprehension or even an iota of clarity.
It is an insult to our democracy that she is an MP, let, alone a Minister in our government

Why is the UK government still awarding contracts to Fujitsu who developed the Horizon software? Since the investigation into Horizon began the govt has handed over £142m to Fujitsu for new contracts.

Let them go. Trickle down economics is a joke anyway. They all voted for Brexit then pissed off when they got what they wanted and it happened. It’s not the wealthy paying the tax bills anyway as their money is hidden away in offshore accounts.

Priti Patel was deemed to have broken the ministerial code but Johnson decided she should stay. So whatever he says about Sturgeon has no credibility.

Brexit made me ashamed to be British. You’re living at the wrong time and in the wrong place. Germany in the 1930s would be more your thing.
I told you so! I told you so! I told you so!

@campbellclaret
for calling out both the appalling Alex Phillips and the BBC ( via Victoria Derbyshire). Too true they allow all sorts of Brexit nonsense to go unchallenged which has cost the country.
Arrogant, clueless Tories still trying to champion the failed Brexit project. Trashed the economy, trashed our reputation, trashed U.K. science but are still ploughing on.
The PM really does need to understand that he is now further damaging U.K. science by not immediately rejoining Horizon, presumably to placate some know-nothing fringe bloviators who know nothing about science, its value or how it’s conducted. As Lord Rees says below, it is

Oh calm down dear. She said ‘doesn’t deserve’ - not ‘would not resuscitate’. But people who vote Tory support a party that doesn’t value the NHS, lied about the £350m it would get each week from leaving the EU, is trying to sell off chunks of it. So leave the poor nurse alone.

To be honest, I’m confused at why people hate our country so much they would push us into Brexit which will do nothing for us economically, culturally or make us more secure. Brexit is the opposite of ‘patriotism’

For ‘woke’ read compassionate and your unpleasant anti-immigrant racist stance is contrary to that. Your desire to leave the ECHR aligns you with Russia and Belarus, the only two European nations outside of it, so in your thinking, you, Lukashenko and Putin are right.
