[Politics] Brexit

[The Clamp]

I voted to leave. I am very happy with how Brexit is going. I am reasonably happy with the current government.

Please don't speak on my behalf.

I speak on nobody's behalf but my own.

Lol. They were rowing back on 350 million day after. Have you noticed that Boris and Gove have done no media this week? Have you wondered why?

Haven't seen anything about Corbyn this week (but I don't read the Socialist Workerlolol so I could have missed it).

 

[Two Professors]

When last in Gibraltar a few months back locals were still in total shock regarding Brexit and those I spoke to are now starting to consider a possable future as part of Spain

Nice that you've stayed in touch to get their current views,or have you been back?

 

[The Clamp]

Lots of top Tories are keeping quiet lately, no media etc. None of them want to go down with May on her monumental **** up ship and are quietly distancing themselves from her since "plans" were revealed.

The EU will do what they think is right for their hundreds of millions of people. Just as we would expect them to have done for us in any negotiations with America, china etc. This was ALWAYS going to be the case.

Thereby condemning Africa to poverty by their barriers and tarriffs on farming.

True. Not many sightings of the unlamented Cameron lately, either.

 

[Two Professors]

Very, very few leave voters are still believing Brexit is a good idea under the current government. They may still believe in Brexit but very few would now agree that the current situation is the right time for it. And I don't blame them, worst government we've had in my lifetime.

What a stupid post from a rather stupid poster.How would you know anything about Leave voters from inside your bigoted shell.

Apparently Cameron has said in a speech to Ukrainians that he never liked the EU or it's Parliament.Bit late now,Dave!

Well, I'm thankful that some people I know discuss things rationally in the real world. I know a few brexiters and am happy to report they seem to be in the intelligent but misguided sector of leave voters, a minority. We talk, we discuss and every one of them to a man stands by Brexit but believes the way we are going about it is a one way ticket to disaster. Nobody in their right mind would think May is going to walk away with anything like a good deal for the UK.

EU wants to give Spain a Veto over the terms on Gibraltar

So I see - https://www.ft.com/content/98f1cedc-1582-378e-8b54-b635997fed7f

Any future aviation deal will not apply to Gibraltar without Spanish consent it seems.

 

[Triggaaar]

Given the British government and the electorate decided to leave and their opening line in negotiations was to state walking out with no deal will be totally acceptable outcome how could anything be the EU's fault?

Because if the EU wasn't so shit in the first place, we'd never have wanted to leave.

To buy into that argument one has to accept the idea that people wanted to leave the EU. I don't believe they did, they wanted to kick the Tories up the arse. Unfortunately in doing so they split their own trousers.

I believe that they did want to. Hence they voted thus.

I have to say that I find you to be a very stupid person. I think that you think too much and for someone as thick as you, that is not a good idea.

Stop scaremongering

I've seen you react exactly the same way to others who disagree with your viewpoint or tell truths you don't wish to hear. Based on that history I feel very comfortable ignoring your comments about me.

Fair enough.

52% did, I think a lot of Remainers have issues concerning Democracy...

Stop scaremongering

Sorry. I know it'll probably be okay.

I don't think you have quite grasped the point I was making have you.


As an aside.

I have no problem with democracy in theory. This should never have gone to a plebiscite and it should be noted that referendums are not legally binding and Brexit should never have got this far down the road. But it has and it's happening. It can be argued it has been handled democratically but nobody would argue the fact that it's on a fast track to disaster.
