[Politics] Brexit

[Gwylan]

Must say that I'm amused to see the Daily Mail advising its readers to travel to France for flu treatment, as EU citizens, as the NHS can't cope.

What are they going to advise in two winters time?

You voted to keep his £84,000 a year salary (not including generous expenses) !! #eugravytrain

I voted for a candidate for the European parliament, I didn't vote for someone who was diametrically opposed to the EU but would happily accept their cash for himself and his family.

Bit of a borderline narcissist much?
I have zero inkling to obsessively trawl all your posts, or be “on your case” to all your posts or even bizarrely doing it all within a matter of minutes of you posting. I really don’t have the time to track your endless drivel and you really are not as important as you think you are. Tbh I hardly ever notice you and rarely spot you giving any input when im catching up with my Albion reading. But I have duly noted your ongoing concerned paranoia.
You are a rather bizarre chap too, claiming to have someone on ignore in order to ignore them, but being so desperate to see what they have written admits to using the un-ignore post button to reveal the posts. whilst also referencing the ignored username of said ignored person. Don’t think you are really getting to grips with this whole ignore concept, if indeed you are utilising it at all in the first place anyway.

I'll look at whatever posts I choose to thank you. One of yours I particularly enjoyed was the shot of your google search on Brexit. Your bookmarks make for some fantastic reading. I can see how you might not have the time to reply to my posts ( despite the fact you do). And I'm the odd one! Priceless. Think it's best you wind your neck in from now on. Have a great weekend.

I think the regulation and oversight it has at the moment is pathetic.So called auditors,internal and external,passing off accounts that were like something from a banana republic,or the EU,hardly qualify as a watchdog.The whole corrupt heap needs fumigating,drain the swamp indeed.Perhaps we could be the first to re-introduce honesty as a concept to the finance world,if all the corrupt ones go to Frankfurt/Paris.

You may be correct about the standard of regulation, my point is though, that Brexit is likely to result in lower regulation, not better regulation. As individual nations, big businesses of all kinds get courted, as we all compete to attract them, a Union of nations stating that if you want to do business in any of our nations, it has to be done to certain standards, is the best way to tackle the issues of big businesses avoiding taxes, having the rules bent in their favour and generally taking the piss.
There are issues with the EU, but be fair and recognise the areas where it can do things you approve of.

Utter b*llocks.

It wasn’t just Osborne. It was Mark ‘f*ckwit’ Carney. The IMF. The CBI. The EU. In fact, lots of the elite, snouts-in-the-trough brigade were warning of an immediate impact and a loss of inward investment. It’s all turned out to be BS.

The pounb was widely acknowledged to be overvalued, and has fallen. The scare-mongering from many on this thread that we were heading towards parity with the Euro/Dollar has proven to be more knee-jerk/sad-loser reactions.

The EU is still running QE, so it’s economy is far from perfect and the trade imbalances are unsustaininable, so the EURO is a constant danger to the stability of the EU.

Yes, there are problems with the UK economy, but these are not to fault of Brexit. Only a f*cking retard would say that the issues relating to the NHS etc are linked to Brexit.

The EU decided to taper off QE, it is not indicative of a current crisis, more like weaning off the anti depressants, rather than going cold turkey.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

When Nigel Farage emerged from a meeting in Brussels with the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier shortly after midday last Monday his increasingly gloomy mood had darkened further. “The message I got was that they will be happy to trade chocolate and cheese and wine freely with us but when it comes to services, forget it. It ain’t going to happen. I think we are going to have a very bad deal.”


No shit Sherlock. Why would they?

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

If we had voted remain then Tony Bloom and other rich businessmen would not be so apprehensive about when to spend and invest, which means that we would now have 2 world class strikers and an attacking midfielder.
We would not have lost yesterday and we would be in the top six and looking forward to European football next season.
If we get relegated it will be entirely down to the leave voters who will never be forgiven and will be banned from entry to The Amex for life.
And it will serve you all right so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

If somebody could clone Margrethe Vestager to run every department of the EU,I would be the most enthusiastic Europhile going.But I'm afraid she is the only star shining in the EU heaven.The rest are best described as time-serving dross who don't give a toss about standards.

Sorry,but I'm not having that.The team have been infected by the negativity coming from you remainers!

I just love the Express

https://www.express.co.uk/news/poli...ree-trade-agreement-economists-for-free-trade

The pro-Brexit Economists for Free Trade group forecast that Britain will gain £651billion from walking away from talks, leaving the EU with a £507billion bill.

Ah Boris is back this morning

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/53390...tain-and-they-face-a-big-fight-to-deliver-it/

Boris has told confidantes that still having to accept dictats from Brussels would leave the UK as “just another Norway” and the nationwide vote’s landmark result would have proved “a total waste of time”.

In that soft Brexit scenario, the mop-haired Tory boss has even claimed to pals: “I’d rather us stay in than leave like that”.

To be fair to him he's just looking after his job in the event Brexit goes tits up

 

[CHAPPERS]

Yep, Boris clearly maneuvering himself into a fall back position for when Brexit collapses.

Another EU directive rebadged as a Tory policy. W*nkers.

its not even accurate. its visible, additional fees that have been banned. fees will paid by all now, regardless of whether you use card or not. its not such a great policy, we'll end up paying more. surprised its not been used as an example for why we should leave to get away from poorly framed regulation.

This is misleading to the point of outright lying. It seems to be official now - it is acceptable for the Conservative Party, the government and the Prime Minister to to be barrel-scrapingly dishonest when dealing with the public on the matter of the EU. They got away with it in the UKIP-fuelled referendum and they are happy to carry on with it now. Let it be clear. This sort of behaviour by a member of the government would not be acceptable in the House of Commons. It's acceptable when dealing with the great unwashed though.

It won't worry the Brexiteers. Little seems to concern them - misinformation, division, lost billions, diminishing horizons - providing they reach their version of the promised land anything is worth it.

Yes, quite. And of course "spare porn". He doesn't seem to have much to say about it, what can you say I suppose!? But at least it gets him off everyone's case for a day or two.

 

[Mellotron]

Very interesting to see the complete shift in tone and position from Boris and Farage within days of each other.

What do they know that the public don't?

What's happened?
