Most revealing Roymit....thanks for that deep insight.

[stripes39]

That's it really.

I’m guessing that Tom clearly made a deep
Impression on you then Roymit?

Lol, Mick you are such a hoot!

As deep as some of the comments made about him on this thread, I would hazard.

I vowed I would write nothing political on this site ever again but I did think it was reasonable simply to state that I had met him. The dealings were non-political - in the party political sense - and so are private. All I would say is that I don't recognise much of the descriptions that have been made above about the sort of person he is.

Just looked up the word 'democracy' in the dictionary and you're right.

'Democracy'

Having a vote on something despite having no idea of how will be negotiated. Ensure that vote is littered with misleading statements and lies. And don't forget for it to be interfered with by foreign influence and is riddled by mis-spending by the side who marginally won that vote.

And then ensure the country is being held to the result of that vote, despite the Leave side not having a clear or coherent plan of how to implement a leave vote.

If you are one of those leave voters who would like to implement a no deal, make your feelings known and then shout at anyone who disagrees by labeling them 'anti-democratic'. For they clearly should know that the above is the very definition of 'democracy'.

ensure the vote is riddled by misleading statements and lies .blah blah blah.MPs tell the electorate that every election ,be it Tory labour Lib Dem’s or the monster loony party.

Have never met Tom Watson but to be honest he always comes across on the media as a decent bloke with sensible views and opinions. As for his weight loss - anyone who has struggled with their weight will understand the will power it must have taken. So I have full respect for the guy and would probably vote Labour with him as Leader.

As for Corbyn..... dont get me started.....unfit to be PM....same goes for Mcdonnell

Never mind Watson or even Corbyn, it is the creepy John McDonnell who I do not like. I had always voted Labour until the last election. I remember at that time saying here that I could never vote for them again while that character was around. Nothing has changed.

I agree with Barrera about Watson's weight loss. Westminster life, married with kids and over 20 St. No doubt he did it for the usual sensible reasons.

I think the majority of voters probably share your sentiments 165. The thought of a party running the country containing Emily Thornbury, Diane Abbott,Angela Rayner (Isn't she like that Catherine Tate character, Am I bovvered) whilst led by Corbyn and McDonnell who openly hates capitalism is too scary to contemplate. I'm curious why a few of those who lean to the left and have concerns about the economy post Brexit would argue the case yet still want this bunch of muppets to run the economy. I'm not a fan of the May government which just shows how a strong credible opposition are so badly missed in UK politics. We need a genuinely new party and not this bunch of Blaireites and failed Tories who have just set up shop.
