NOT FOR ME IT HAS NOT.


I woke up years ago long before Brexit became a fact.


STOP VOTING PEOPLE AND DO SOMETHING FAR MORE CONSTRUCTIVE.


The media tells us we the voter will punish all of them, how then most our sheep? Parliament knows it and they are laughing all the way to the next election.

:yeah: seems they have all lost their marbles. Enjoy your brexit world :-j

He was on This Week last night just after Question Time and he held his own whilst being interviewed but didn't stand out as anything special.

Just been reading that over on the BBC website :)https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47414699

Just came across this on a friends FB page so decided to do a little 'research'

Whilst I disagree fundementally with the part about saying we can never leave it does however leave some food for thought.

I'm not extolling the accuracy of the source but there are others out there that mirror the contents.

Initial brexit will not be as bad as some want to make believe, but the future will be. Nobody wins with brexit.

"Talk of rotting food at Calais is hysterical: instead, no deal would see the EU calmly dismantle Britain’s industries over time"

"The problem with abandoning the rules of the international order is that you no longer enjoy their protection."

"Presumably in a state of collective shock after nearly 52 percent of voters in the referendum chose to leave the EU, the parliament approved the government’s decision to start the withdrawal process without a plan for doing so. Leaving aside that the referendum campaign was so poisonous that many refrained from publicly stating their preferences, the vote was conducted with dubious criteria from a democratic point of view – excluding EU citizens living in the United Kingdom, going against the recommendation of the House of Lords to extend the franchise to 16 year-olds (whose future was at stake), and not allowing Britons that had been living abroad for over 15 years to vote."

Can't say for sure how much bias the above contains but that could be said for any articles of course.

One point I'd pick up on is I'm sure any tariffs impost would bring about a reciprocal gesture and the UK importing more than it exports would surely bring about a positive balance YES?

^ from the first link's article:

" [...] riposte is that the Europeans have as much to lose since the UK is an important export market and we run a large trade deficit with the single market. But one of the legacies of Thatcher’s deindustrialisation is that the UK lacks the industrial base to switch from foreign to domestic production. It simply no longer exists, thanks to the 1980s shock therapy of the very same disaster capitalists that now champion no-deal."

"... the damage to trade with the single market could not be replaced by new trade deals – in addition to the EU27, the UK has the benefits of trade deals with 40 other countries through the EU, all of which would evaporate overnight in no deal. That requires 67 deals to be signed just to stand still."

Europe will export less to the UK, and this less will be more expensive in the UK. Win?

Win or lose I'm not able to say but does it matter?

I'm becoming firmer in my belief as each day passes that Brexit will not happen.

You are probably right there, Jim. which only means the betrayal of the referendum goes according to original plan. The political caste on both sides of the channel never had any intention to seriously allow it happening. Frustrate everybody so intensely and so long until eveybody just says that it should be cancelled due to frustration.



Then blow it off, shrug the shoulders and say "We really tried to honour the referendum, we really trie dhard, but it oculd not be done - you cannot hold us responsible for it, we really tried hard."


Stealing the referendum and finding a way to get away with it - thats what it is about.


Gotta love the rotten ways of politics.



People do not want freedom. With freedom they do not know anything to do. People want to get led, and kept in collective custody, and bear no responsibility for themselves, and wallow in the glory of their glorious owner, thunking that makes themselves glorious as well.


Cattle in a rail waggon.


And if somebody tells them about freedom, the owners must not care, for the owned will turn against the renegate all by themselves.

^ Still hysterical with the conspiracy idea? It's irrational and irresponsible of Brexiters to mislead voters into thinking that the EU controls the UK when it is written in the treaties that the EU must respect its members. And it does. Yes. indeed.
Things like border control have been managed differently already by the UK, but also the latter opted out from border checks . Why do you always forget that?

You could easily have taken back control of our borders already under
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ...77:0123:en:PDF
but you chose not to.
" ... which allows EU member states to repatriate EU nationals after three months if they have not found a job or do not have the means to support themselves. In this month’s debate on the House of Lords EU subcommittee report on EU migration, I challenged the government on why we were not availing ourselves of this directive – and I got no response."


Generally,
"A Member State which decides to withdraw shall notify the European Council of its intention. In the light of the guidelines provided by the European Council, the Union shall negotiate and conclude an agreement with that State, setting out the arrangements for its withdrawal, taking account of the framework for its future relationship with the Union. That agreement shall be negotiated in accordance with Article 218(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. It shall be concluded on behalf of the Union by the Council, acting by a qualified majority, after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament.’"
The key words here are ‘decides’ and ‘intention’. Despite the decision in the non-binding referendum, it did not mean the UK would Brexit that day as many were led to believe.

Instead there have been two years, and the UK trade ministry has not made one post-brexit deal with all the EU nations it now trades with (27), and not one deal with the other 67 nations the UK up to now traded with automatically because of being a EU member. And of course, this is all the EU's fault. pffft.


@Jim
What i meant is that Europe and the UK loses. The only winners will be Russia and China, and maybe the US.

Enough people will see trough this so it will cause a political crisis in Britain.




This would be the place for the Queen to come out and order the referendum to be respected.

It will deepen the trenche sin britain if they hold another referendum, I agree. However, that rotten potlciians get away with their mafiosi games and cheats and tricks is the common rule all over the West, and the voting and tax-paying cattle even legitimises them to do so time and again.



As far as the Queen is concerned, the time sof this institution ruling the potlics of a country are over. She has hinted at the drama with the faintesdt of words and it was already seen as a sensation, the Prtince recently made a comment or two in a speech that could be seen as an indirect referal to the drama and again ti was seen as the maximum of what can be expected form the royals. And I think more there will not be. They are in the feel-well-business and guard a museum, its a great show that they stage, I somewhat like it - but the powers lies elsewhere these days.

She has real powers and she has the military behind her.
