[Politics] Brexit

[zefarelly]

I used to work for a German company and managed a project at Dysons then new factory in Malmesbury, this was 20 years ago, my opinion was formed then, and hasn't changed.

Governments own reports say we have run out of time for a no deal Brexit and have everything ready.

Rules out no deal is better than a bad deal

Chequers it is

*No deal is better than a bad deal* was always just a feeble attempt to gaslight the electorate.

Just been chatting to a British friend who just became a German 1 hour ago. He’s the latest of quite a few people I know who have sought alternative citizenship. Good for him.

My Father is Dutch and I will change citizenship if it's a crap deal/no deal...Can't speak the lingo but i guess they have an English version up at the Dutch Embassy in London

I know people who are turning French, and Irish . . . . even Strayan !

Good for them, I wish them well.
Are they retaining dual Nationality or have they relinquished their British citizenship? Also what happens when Germany decides to leave the EU?

Mmmm weak leadership, unstable government/continually on the brink of collapse, far right on the march ... but enough about Germany.

Don't they do dual citizenship? I've never needed to get myself a Spanish passport, even when I lived and worked there, but I will be getting one soon. Mainly for my son's benefit. I mistakenly thought Spain didn't allow dual nationality but that's only for people with no connection becoming Spanish (my dad is Spanish).

The one I'd be closest to is the second; I'm not really a hipster and live nowhere near Shoreditch, but I do believe in giving due care and attention to political beliefs, and who doesn't give proper thought to which shoes to buy? Do you think there's something wrong with being careful and thinking at length about things that matter?



Here's another question: presuming you weren't at the big march on Saturday, which of the following do you see as good reasons?
View attachment 101550

Where's the 'Respecting the long held British democratic tradition of ensuring the outcomes of democratic results are enacted' reason?

It appears the 1000 year Reich is having a recruitment drive with lots of Haw Haw types rushing to sign up to the Master race.
If that’s what floats their boat....

If the supposed national stereotypes of overbearing arrogance and condescension are in any way true I'm surprised more Remoaners don't head for the Fatherland ...

The democratic results are being enacted and will continue to be enacted, in fact it the ultimate democratic result may be that we stay in the EU, who knows

Presumably you dont want the democratic process to cease

Any leavers know what they are getting yet? Suckers.

Yes we are in the process of leaving - respecting the democratic outcome. Those marching for another go because they didn't like the first result obviously have no respect for democracy or British democratic traditions/process.

Presumably, you aren't one of these people

 

[daveinplzen]

Leavers being pompous, when they have absolutely no clue what leaving will entail is entertaining.

Presumably you don't think people marching are behaving undemocratically and are going against British democratic traditions/process

Do you want democracy to stop?

Just pointing out, we don’t have a tradition of democratic/ process with regards to referendums.
We have a strong tradition of being ruled by a parliamentary democracy or even a constitutional monarchy, but never by plebiscite.
There have only been 3 UK wide referendums since 1973.

In our wonderful country, people are free to march and people can spend over two years bleating away on social media because they can't accept the result but I am not sure how anyone could argue what they are calling for (ignoring the first vote) is democratic.

Presumably you aren't one of these people

Really? How many referenda results either national or regional have been ignored?

He’s quite chuffed....especially as he’s now won the World Cup 4 times.
