[Politics] Brexit

[Dave the OAP]

You asked chum.

Still, shhhhh, Popmaster is on.

27. And 21. And three in 10.

Get in!

Btw. 80% of our biggest financial services customers in London have left for European markets with a direct result in 500 people who serviced their accounts losing their jobs.

Still these highly qualified IT and finance experts can go and pick cherries. Win win for brexit

Living in the UK or not, it makes no sense to try to make a real assessment of the consequences of leaving the EU until the world reaches some kind of state of normality.

I can see the effect on EU friends married to British people, here in Brighton. That’s nothing to do with Covid.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Don't give a toss what JRM has said plum voiced idiot. It was my choice. Do you still not accept the democratic vote ?

No, I don’t accept illegally acted referendums which have been proved, in the High Court, and admitted by Theresa May’s QC to be so.
This Government is refusing to release the Russia report, trying to close down the Electoral Commission, and acting illegally in immigration issues.
I’ll keep fighting it until I leave this life.

And me, let them have another vote then if they so wish. The new generation decides

Why wait? Why not have another one next year? After all, the number of people who didn't get a say but are now entitled to a vote is going up with each passing day.

 

[A1X]

Don't forget the voters were promised 'sunny uplands' for voting out, presumably in our lifetimes

Seeing as you mention it, let's use this opportunity to remind ourselves of exactly what the Leave campaign promised us, shall we? For those interested, here is the link to their official leaflet;

What effect is that then? Are you talking about settled status, because they should have done this months ago. I did my mums long before covid.

 

[Lever]

Nice to see the sun out today

Now that has improved my day; not relevant to the thread topic, but a good point!

 

[nwgull]

So page 5, and not one poster has listed a benefit. I'll draw my own conclusions to that.

I will answer you when you tell me where your ‘friend’ worked in December 2019. Shop floor or office?

Don't forget the millions who couldn't be bothered. Maybe if Labour ever pull themselves together it might happen but it could be a few years away. But to win they would need to get back the red wall so would be an instant vote loser

 

[WATFORD zero]

Even more reason to drink up this rich and fruitful transition period, living each day like it's our last.

Nectar.........

Has to be better and healthier than moaning and groaning like some seem to do.

Sounds better than some of the people on here spending every waking hour furiously posting 'funny' one lineers and memes on various threads but never actually contributing nothing of any substance ever.

Your idea sounds much better than that (or getting a job)

 

[portslade seagull]

Can you also list all the scare stories from the remain campaign which probably turned the vote in leaves favour after all how many % points were they ahead even upto the last day

Looking forward to this bit :

"• There is a free trade zone from Iceland to Turkey and the Russian border and we will be part of it".


It's being announced in the next few days I assume ?

Hopefully a long life and fight. Nothing will change

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

If you name the issue, we can debate whether it is down to Brexit or not.

Don't forget the voters were promised 'sunny uplands' for voting out, presumably in our lifetimes

The "Sunny Uplands" are EEA membership.

Surely coming shortly.

 

[portslade seagull]

Anyway need to pick the strawberries in the garden

There will be a border in the Irish sea, which Britain will propose, negotiate, sign off and then prove incapable of implementing, breaking international law in the process
There will be no deal for services, the largest part of the UK economy
We will be unable to implement any border controls despite having two years 'transition'
Exports will be cut by c40% (some foostuffs by over 90%)
The fishing industry will be annihilated
We will have to throw farming and agriculture under the bus to get any new trade deal

Which one would you like to start with, winner ?

Probably being delayed pending the announcement of Turkey joining the EU.

 

[Chicken Run]

So has anything really got better "because" of Brexit for you? (please no in spite of examples).

Kindly keep all observations of what's more broadly happening in Brexit Britain on the Brexit thread please....

The Brexit Vote was 5 years ago, I’m not sure that Brexit was 5 years ago, closer to 5 months more like [emoji6]
