[Politics] Brexit

sparkie said:

Well it should be moved today, but I guess arguers have to argue.

I'd say that entering the transition phase is a perfect time to detoxify the NSC main board.

At 11pm on Friday, to coincide with the transfer window slamming shut, we should move this thread to The Other Stuff and all the NSC Trade Experts can debate the future over there.

I guess in some people’s eyes you’re a nice guy until you dare say something against a Tory or Brexit and then you instantly transform into a ****ing ********?

You do realise that it doesn't all finish when you get your 'Big Ben Bong' ?

The date that we will stop paying into the EU, taking advantage of all the EU benefits and being subservient to the EU rules, regulation and laws will be 31st Dec 2020.

We know this because Johnson has told everyone and been elected on this basis.

That's when the thread should be moved/closed down/whatever. When Brexit is done [emoji2]

I'm not bothered about a Big Ben Bong.

No TVs in Wetherspoons, so I can't follow Transfer Deadline Day on Sky Sports News.

I mean, who would be in another country and then complain about one the other side of the world? Who would do that?

I don’t imagine he thinks you’re obliged to listen to his “advice”. Nevertheless, he’s entitled to voice his opinion no-matter his background or proclivities. Just as you’re entitled to dismiss them.
And no, I have no money that I don’t need .

WATFORD zero said:

As Johnson has promised, it's definitely only another 11 months to go, and I know you wouldn't want to deprive some of our more prolific and lucid Brexit supporters on here the opportunity to post 'Tick Tock' and 'On our way' a few more times

You mean in a similar way that the moment anyone says they support Brexit they're called thicko's, xenophobic, racist, gammon, little Englanders ?

Westdene Seagull said:

Firstly, I'm as much of a mindreader as the remainers that keep telling me I voted leave because I'm racist and xenophobic ..... oh and a little Englander.

Westdene Seagull said:

Yet despite these points, I don't consider anyone voting for any party immoral, thick, xenophobic, racist etc. Maybe I'm just more mature than most.

Westdene Seagull said:

When you've been called racist, thick, xenophobic, little Englander, a gammon, a prick etc etc etc in a thread - all for the audacity of having an alternative opinion on the EU and putting my cross in the opposite box to the people that throw those terms around with gay abandon, I'd suggest it's understandable that my posts on this thread are somewhat different to those on others.

Westdene Seagull said:

Now go and count the number of remainer posts in this thread using phrases such as Little Englanders, thickos, stupid, racist, xenophobic, prick and even retard. I think remoaners is rather tame by comparison.

Westdene Seagull said:

By all means argue the point but don't post like a w@anker. I'm not surprised I get abusive having being called a racist, a fool, an idiot, a thicko, a xenophobe, a little Englander etc etc etc. Basically anyone that has used those terms can fvck off - their view is worth rat shit.

What a ****ing ass-hole.


Hugh Grant has supported the following charities listed on this site:

Grant is a patron of the DIPEx Charity, which operates the website Healthtalkonline. He is also patron of the Fynvola Foundation, named after his late mother; the foundation supports the Lady Dane Farmhouse, a home in Faversham for adults with learning disabilities.

Since the death of his mother in 2001, Grant has worked as a fundraiser and ambassador for Marie Curie Cancer Care, promoting the charity's annual Great Daffodil Appeal on several occasions. He is also a patron of Pancreatic Cancer Action.

British Forces Foundation
Centrepoint
Charity Projects Entertainment Fund
Dennis Quaid Charity Weekend
Elton John AIDS Foundation
Greenpeace
Make Poverty History
Marie Curie
Pancreatic Cancer Action
Raisa Gorbachev Foundation
Save the Children
UNICEF

British heart-throb Hugh Grant has been wooing women worldwide with his loveable, suave characters and lopsided grin, but he is not just a pretty face. Grant has been using his fame to raise the profile of charities and causes for years.
In 2001, Hugh lost his mother to pancreatic cancer. Although he has talked of how bleak this time was, he hasn’t let it drag him down. Instead, in March 2011, he teamed up with healthtalkonline.org to share his experience on the website and donated a large sum of money to setting up a specific ‘pancreatic cancer’ section of the site. Hugh also became a Patron of Pancreatic Cancer Action.
His fight against cancer didn’t stop there, however. In August, 2011, he launched a campaign to raise £200,000 for Marie Curie nurses. “I know from my own experience how important it is to have someone you love die at home, cared for by a Marie Curie nurse”, the actor told a local Bolton newspaper, the English town where the campaign was centred.
He has also supported cancer charities such as the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation, which is committed to fighting child cancer. The foundation is committed to action against cancer and ultimately aims to help eliminate cancer for good.
Aside from his support of various cancer charities, Grant spreads his philanthropic fingers far and wide. In April this year, he donated his famous ‘Love Actually’ tie to a charity auction in aid of Save the Children's ‘Ties for Tokyo’ initiative, aimed at improving the lives of young children in Japan after the devastating earthquake and tsunami.
He has shown support for UNICEF and Make Poverty History and the British Forces Foundation by attending a number of their charity events , such as the Live 8 concert and sharing some love through a celebrity kissing booth.

The Brexit obsession of some posters is not healthy.

I genuinely believe that detoxifying the main board of Brexit will help some minds to recover, and some to get perspective and their lives back.

Its possible to be a ****ing ass-hole and do charity work.
And no i am not saying Grant is a nonce.

Of course he’s entitled to an opinion, I did however note that all the charlatans, turn coats and democracy deniers that He actively endorsed during the second referendum/general election lost their seats....so it’s quite possible that it’s not just this Sailor that thinks he’s talking out of his fart pipe.





On our way.

Self made millionaire (if he actually has reached a million), whose father was a toolmaker, and mother a nurse. He went to grammar school and then to university. He made the most of the brain he was given to become a top QC.
Maybe you don't like people bettering themselves and should know their place, behind all those who inherit wealth, and go to Eton?
A true Tory.

In other words, I'm alright and it isn't affecting my life very much.

Some of us have been affected quite badly and know other people who have been affected by this decision. I can be as cheerful as the next person and get my mind into positive thinking but that doesn't change the political climate.

sparkie said:

I've no idea if it will effect my life very much - I hope not, but who can tell.

I feel sorry for those badly affected, and those who will be badly affected.

All I know is that the obsession which has torn this country apart has to end.

I'm sure Johnson's initial trade deal will be a disaster because the deadline has been made more important than the content.

It's up to those in charge to make the 2nd, and 3rd Trade deals much better for the population. Fail to do so, and they are out without any doubt.

Anyway, as said I'm not getting sucked into the toxicity and obsession.

The thread needs moving, and NSC detoxifying. The end from me.

Looking forward to leaving the EU and laughing at the whining wet blankets on here making fools of themselves.
