There was no significant rephrase to disguise anything offensive Amelia!! The reference was directed at RW b######, implicitly or explicitly, who are predominantly English or unionist and have irritatingly played a huge part in this whole brexit fiasco and are shameless as previously observed by many Scots like myself in Scottish referendum year 2014 when this country was rife with these shameless c#### and their shameless comments!!!! At the moment, I'm observing a similar campaign up here in Scotland for months n months where these people just 'don't disappear' and they have a massive anti Scot indy/anti SNP/anti Scot govt agenda - absolutely ludicrous!! Do you wanna see the full official list of the people I'm referring to????????? I perceive that thread #636 as deliberately creating an issue when there is not an issue and the idea that there was some personal offence or reference to any member of this board borders on 'having a laugh' TBF. Read the comment properly eh! Rant over and no further comments to follow - I've 'said my piece' re this 'creation of a mountain out of a mole hill' and that is exactly what it is!!
This is probably why Davies is being marginalised by his own party leader, Theresa May, who is in such a weak position but she still realises that the guy is a 'liability'. Also reflect back to 2015 when the final reading of Cameron's European Union Referendum Act was set up to be approved or rejected! The only opponents of that referendum bill were the SNP who deemed it fundamentally undemocratic as it treated the UK as a unitary state rather than one with four interested parties. That 'quadruple lock' principle rejected in the UK parliamentary vote by the allied 'better together' (that was a laugh and deja vu eh!) unionist group of Tories, Labour and Libdems by 544 votes to 53 - the validity of that SNP position has been vindicated by the crisis over the Irish border and the political fallout in Scotland where we are seeing the arrogant assumption of English MPs and English voters that they can 'railroad' the whole of the UK out of the European Union with Davies well to the fore of that way of thinking together with a huge list of others with the same narrow mindset. Call this country a democratic one? My erse!!

He also described leaving the EU as the “greatest loss of free trade rights in human history” and that a CETA style deal is not compatible with what the phase 1 progress report says abt N Ireland” i.e CETA deal incompatible with what gov already agreed to on Irish border. So WTF ?
This is the guy that did the Canada/EU deal so he knows what he's talking about.
