[Politics] Brexit

[Simster]

Your analogy is ridiculous. We need to trade with the EU more than they with us. Granted they would be hurt by a failure to agree a deal, but we'd hurt a LOT more.

I've spent much of the day talking to Polish and Czech immigrant friends who after more than a decade of hard work and service to their UK communities have been left feeling devalued and unwanted and they and their children subject to verbal abuse.
Ashamed and embarrassed doesn't do justice to how I feel tbh

I know loads here and have 5 at work....very much the opposite here to what you've heard

I did say I've got a boat ready for them lol....they love it

 

[yxee]

Hysteria is temporary

 

[sir albion]

WTF?

Yes - for the overwhelming majority of the gullible divs that voted out yesterday, that is EXACTLY what 'we' want to do.

Don't bother trying to pretend otherwise, now.

It's the weak and fear of a change plonkers that voted in....the real people have spoken

I'm kinda with you on this....and on Triggs analysis the 'collapsing' party will be us first

That's because we're the buyer and they're the seller....That means we're the customer and they desperately need our custom more.Does that make it clear enough?

I didn't vote in...as we were already in

Erm wrong they are the buyer more than the other way round according to various economic statements that I've read

 

[vegster]

They tried to call our bluff and failed spectacularly....You can bet your right bollock they're really gutted inside and they will swallow their pride!!
In time we will be in demand from all over the world and we will boom boom boom

Give it a week or two and you will see a different EU towards us as they need us more than we need them and more importantly they will be seriously worried about a chain reaction,so will be having many emergency meetings shortly.

We called our own bluff and failed, the EU will not be knocking at our door any time soon, we never engaged with Europe or embraced or led, we were never a force for change within, we always haggled, whinged or demanded opt outs, we won't be missed.

I'm a gullible div, what do you expect me to think?

He can be quite abusive if he wasn't a mod he would be banned.

Cameron's stupid renegotiation ploy failed miserably , he would have been better off doing nothing than insulting peoples intelligence

What about when we're the seller and they're the buyer? In case you didn't understand, trade is a two way street.

100%. I would have voted remain had they given us a modicum of respect during that process.

 

[portslade seagull]

The EU have to much to lose. They will fix a deal as they export too much into Britain. The remainers will state otherwise due to being bad losers

 

[sir albion]

That's very unlikely as we're a 70% buying nation although naturally you will get it the other way round.
At the end of the day we will be trading with Europe as it suits both parties....it's business wether you're in the union or not and the EU know that.

We manufacture f*ck all. The EU will be fine without us

And [MENTION=11928]vegster[/MENTION] we were voted against 70 times and voted with, thousands. We did alright.

 

[Lush]

The EU will come down on us like a ton of bricks because they won't want any other countries getting the same idea about leaving.

Yes but we buy far more than we sell to the EU that's stone wall and not rocket science....

It's what they sell us they cannot afford to lose that market
