[Politics] Brexit

[ManOfSussex]

Boris's speech was as expected. Big no rhetoric, light on substance.

Extreme Brexit is dead, need to face up to reality

Not one mention of the Irish border by Johnson either.

Excellent speech. Obviously, it was always going to be attacked by the usual suspects on here but I expect the more representative, moderate Remain voters would welcome it.

Derailing Brexit would be disastrous Boris.......for your career.

That's all Boris really cares about. Its hard to know what he really believes in. People talk about career politicians, he is the ultimate

It's at times like this that one realises how extreme one is - in this respect, at least.

So what in particular did you find practical and helpful in it? or was it just the sort of soaring, positive but ultimately empty rhetoric that appealed to you?

The elephant in the room

Churchillian

 

[Ernest]

Pathetic speech from Johnson after all the hype, 32 minutes of bluster and waffle. No wonder the Tories are in such a mess if this is the best they can do

 

[The Clamp]

It's not hard to see how some folks got fooled into voting Brexit judging by the leave reaction on here to that utter, utter load of vacuous claptrap. People are thicker than I thought.


Well, 52% certainly are!

Churchillian

He did write a very entertaining book about the great man.

"single currency"? did you mean single market or the Euro? do you know what you want to remain in?

and yes, the EU grew by bit more than us last quarter, 0.6 to UK 0.5. well done them. although we are part EU so contribute to that EU growth figure.

"single currency"? did you mean single market or the Euro? do you know what you want to remain in?

No, I mean Single Currency. A perfectly legitimate term. Here, even the internet thinks so:



single currency
noun
a currency used by all the members of an economic federation.
the currency (the euro) which replaced the national currencies of twelve member states of the European Union in 2002.
noun: single European currency; plural noun: single European currencies

Before you rush to contradict those you disagree with, just stop, take a breath and check your facts. Not great at this are you!
Never mind, eh.

yes, its a legitimate term, never mind context or anything else eh? the EU economy, not the currency, grows (or not) and they refer to the eurozone to seperate those nations in the Euro. i didnt even disagree with you, only ask if you understand the institutions you want to be part of since so easily confuse them. prehaps before rushing to tell the terrible news, pause and thing is it really worth it?

Like I say, you're not very good at this are you. You really don't seem to understand things.

 

[The Clamp]

Growing against what ?

The tide of insidious nationalism!

Ah, glad you clarified that you don't know what you're talking about.

Whevs

right, so you dont understand the difference between currency and economy. thats fine, its not everyday stuff, no need to turn it around on me. though it's my fault for engaging in pedantry when it was never going to be productive. and now there will be insults and dismissal.

Not a bit of it old boy, please do engage in pedantry. I would just point out that if you plan on going head to head with me on subjects like this, bring your very best game to the field because at the moment you are getting spanked in front of your home crowd. I think Boris's huge letdown of you and your cause has upset your mob on here today so I'm gonna give you a reprieve and not press it.
I have some videotapes to return. Layaz Playaz. Keep it greasy.
