[Politics] Brexit

[Soulman]

Protectionist customs union that protects British industry and agriculture. Broaden our horizons by immolating our trade agreements, broaden our horizons by killing access to the biggest and richest market in the world. Broadening our horizons by requiring a visa to enter France or Ireland. Brexit is better described as Operation Drawbridge.

Blimey, sounds like a Thomas Cook Getaway advert, or a sales pitch for a fantastic new career.

Why stop there? Why not a sussex parliament? Or why not a Brighton only parliament? Actually, why not parliaments for each street? Or house?
Are you in favour of no government at all and a form of anarchy then? (I have no problem with that but just curious as to why you stop at England)

Quite. I look forward to Soulman's reply.

 

[Hampster Gull]

Hallelujah for the EU. Us British simpletons couldn't have done any of this for our selves.

don't be so harsh on yourself, you are probably quite bright

Mr Corbyn said: "We, the Labour Party, are overwhelmingly for staying in". Fairly black and white

The Labour party are, they made it clear that if they won the election we wouldn't even get a referendum.

Corbyn is just towing the party line, some leader ey?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Because that's where Englands' borders actually are? Just a guess.

You're completely missing the point. Have a think, and have another go.

Ok, as you are being a bit silly. England is the only country in the civilised world that does not have its own Parliament. See Scotland, Wales and NI.
Our country, not counties, should have its own parliament imo.

Certainly not stopping at the UK as that won't survive in the current format following a Brexit

Just so long as we don't go for the German model of regional parliaments-utterly mired in corruption and inertia

He would have spanked his naughty bottom!

Quite impressed with Andrew Neil - seems fired up to do a good job of challenging the interviewee

You ''COULD'' be a simpleton

Think you've exhausted your go's.

Or is it like poker where you just keep buying back in?

i guess this depends how you define civilised. Care to give your definition?

I agree that's their stated position although if Corbyn had held to his life long principles he would be in the Leave camp. Perhaps he feels slightly uncomfortable standing shoulder to shoulder with bankers , big business and the Tory Government all warmly applauding him, patting him on the back as he says the EU is great for protecting workers.

WASH your mouth out with soap!

Everything is perfect over there, we even have an ''informed'' poster to PROVE it.

 

[Albumen]

Draw a circle round your house with the thread of what's left of your flag of st George, close the curtains and hold onto yesteryear for dear life.
Vote leave.

He has seen the light.

Proved himself to be a total coward when push comes to shove on his principles.

He's no leader.

You seem obsessed with me. It's a bit weird. Put me on ignore.

 

[Lincoln Imp]

Yep, i am happy with that, and while we are at it we should have an English Parliament consisting of English MP's obviously, unlike about 660 MP's of which about 110 are from the other UK countries but get to vote on English issues only.
Good shout Lincoln Imp, glad you are on board.

I've no problem with regions such as Scotland campaigning to become free-standing nations but that mustn't be confused with the Brexit campaign. Scotland is part of a larger country. The U.K. isn't.

A cracking example of how remainers totally do not under stand those who want to leave the EU.

We don;t want to return to the 1950's, we want to move into the future where we deal with the whole world and not some outdated 70's trading block that has turned into a political superstate and is driving for further integration and stripping away national identity.

In the EU the future is just that, more and more EU, and when we're dead and gone Britain will just be another state swallowed up with no identity of its own. Its happening around you now, you're just not seeing it.
