[Politics] Brexit

[sparkie]

OK, to get something positive from this dregs of a thread, can someone explain what is so great about an Australia-style deal that Johnson is so keen on ?

Are there no other countries that have a better deal ?, or did he simply get bored flicking through all the example deals given to him, and just picked one from the top of the alphabetical pile ?

 

[WATFORD zero]

Dunno about Brexit but off to Prague again in two weeks time. Up in Zizkov. Stocking up on fags before we leave the EU. I don't smoke my missus does. Going again in November

Sometimes with a post like this, I do wonder whether this is all a front and whether you are, in fact, a complete comic genius.

Sadly though, I think probably not

 

[spence]

Give me a shout

Will do. Going on the 25th - 28th

The EU dosnt have a trade deal with Australia. Basically, it means 'no deal'

Australian style 'deal' is the same as a Belarussian style 'deal'. However Belarus = bad, but Aussie, Aussie, Aussie Oi, Oi, Oi = good. It's just the 2020s 'managed no deal'

Cummings thinking = everyone loves Australia. Koala's, Kylie........must work a treat up north in the Brexit heartlands with Rugby League too and Australia. 'After t'Brexit Wire will be Champions of t'world lad......'

So it's an easy one - no graft required from Johnson at all. He can put his feet up.

They can look forward to an upturn in December when they no longer have to prop up our failing industry and support poorer communities in the North East of England, Cornwall and Norfolk that the Tory government have left to stagnate.
And no more throwing good money after bad and then having to manage the UK’s mis-spending of funds designated for poor areas in the U.K. that ended up being spent on London and the S.E.

Thought you had left this thread behind Pinocchio. An upturn when they no longer have to 'prop up our industries' with UK taxpayers money and lose the several billion (net) we send them every year .... inciteful as ever Clampy.

You know Q4 2019 for the UK was 0% don't you?

Of course, the 5th column collective were falling over themselves to report and comment on this cataclysmic news.

Why are you still obsessing about this? What I have always found bizarre about most Leavers is the absolute pathological pant-pissing about everything and anything to do with the EU. You guys can’t stop, you’re obsessed, even when you have “left.”

We will be fine, concentrate you energy and attention on that US trade deal.

Obsessing? ..Just reporting the facts HT, the economic wellbeing of our dear friends in the EU impacts the UK too. Any negative reference to the Fatherland still sets you off I see.

So UK GDP has grown by 1.4% over the past year while the EU GDP has grown by 1.2%
and UK GDP growth over the last quarter is 0% while the EU GDP growth is 0.1%

That is certainly devastating news

I suppose if you really want to try to read anything into those figures it does mean that the UK is 3 months nearer to any recession than the EU

Eurozone isn't the same as the EU .... thick as mince.

Slightly better than the Eurozone, but JCFG was highlighting in bold Q4 rates.

Actually, I highlighted yearly rates and quarterly rates.

For some leavers afflicted by nostalgic delusions of grandeur, such as the Footy Genius, The EU and Germany are so intrinsically linked to the point that they are actually the same thing. Therefore to some leavers afflicted by nostalgic delusions of grandeur, such as the Footy Genius, any mention of the words 'Germany' and/or 'The EU' means World War II and occupation and that Britannia never became slaves and is immediately at the forefront of any thought about it/them. (The good old days, when we had a navy and Britain and its Empire taught Johnny Foreigner a lesson for the good to which it should still show us gratitude.) Therefore anything, be it German GDP figures or Angela Merkel's haircut, are jumped on with a mixture of glee and rage to justify this whole, not only futile exercise, but glorious triumph that they've won for England. There isn't an empire for some leavers afflicted by nostalgic delusions of grandeur, such as the Footy Genius, to go off and rule anymore, so Brexit is the next best thing for them. Just as well too now - they aren't any willing, educated Scots around to run it for them.

*sigh* Projecting your own prejudices and delusions onto others .. same old same old.

Always a pleasure stirring up the gloomerati with news that doesn't fit their world view .. until the next time

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

Nobody said we were still members.

But you said we're still in the EU

[Thunder Bolt]

Oh dear. I thought you would have known better with this one.
We no longer have representation but we don’t leave until December 31st at the end of the transition period.

No I didn’t. I said we don’t leave until December, which is different. We are in transition.

Nobody said we were still members.

I know it might be difficult, but I said we haven’t left. We haven’t left the Single Market, the Customs Union, Free Movement because we are in transition.
The final leaving is December 31st. Just think, you can have another party.

Just shows you what a limp grasp some people have on the details of Brexit. As I said earlier in the thread you could have just told them we have left, give them a commemorative coin and not actually left (which is pretty much what has happened, except they’ve charged them a tenner for the coin) . They wouldn’t notice because they have no idea what our membership of the EU entails.

Didn’t you have any better options at 10pm last night than to construct this lengthy response?

Well I’m back. Deal with it shithead.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Well I’m back. Deal with it shithead.

What a well thought out and intelligent response

 

[melias shoes]

Makes me laugh reading all these posts telling us that leave voters are pant pissing and that JCFG is a bitter man. The only pant pissing and bitterness I can see is coming from the usual suspects i.e. remainers.

 

[The Clamp]

Sorry, you’re quite right. I appear to have omitted the comma between ‘it’ and ‘shithead’.
It should of course read “Well I’m back. Deal with it, shithead”.

My deepest apologies.

You were indeed quoting Eurozone which the UK have never been part of

EU GDP growth was 1.5% outperforming the UK both annually and quarterly

 

[The Clamp]

You were indeed quoting Eurozone which we were never part of. EU, which we were part of, grew by 1.6 %, outperforming the UK both annually and quarterly

I’m afraid this is the result when Leave voters try and be clever. Egg on his face.

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

You were indeed quoting Eurozone which the UK have never been part of

All that matters is the future. Thus the key issue is: all other things being equal will leaving the EU damage the UK economy?

There are three answers: yes, no and don't know. Of the three answers 1 and 3 are the most compelling in terms of informed predictions and these favour 1. End of - and we now await the out-turn. Hope I'm wrong; fear I'm right.

It is quite odd. I'm not remotely bothered about Brexit right now. Also, I'm not remotely bothered about Boris filling his cabinet with nodding dogs. Either Boris and Cummings will smash all the problems, or they won't. At least we now have absolute clarity, we can see who is in charge - a far cry from the shambles under Mrs May, and indeed the utter joke of a strategy offered by Corbyn. If Boris succeeds, he will be re-elected. If he fails (and if Steer Calmer wins the labour leadership contest), he won't. Politics has suddenly become pleasingly simpler.





















In my dreams.
