[Politics] Brexit

[Soulman]

I think some will.

Many threatened after the last election..... but never did.

I accept the result and the fact the game is over, as do most 'remain' voters. The problem I have is I don't know if it was just 3 points lost, a replay next week, or just out of a cup of some sort, as I don't know what the competition was, relegation and disaster and hope the we've got money to pay for the floodlights next week, promotion and untold riches, or just carry on as before because things wont be a great deal different despite this result. The other thing is I support both teams, as they're actually playing for the same club.

I agree with all of that.

Quite a few did. At least 2 people I know who were thinking of leaving did so on the strength of that result. I started a TEFL course 2 days after the Brexit result, to have a fall back if things get any grimmer in the UK.

I think you underestimate how strongly people feel about it all.

Thank God you didn't have to live through the great depression, or the blitz, or rationing, or three day weeks with mountains of rotting garbage in the streets, rats running everywhere and warehouses full of rotting corpses that couldn't be buried. Civil unrest, strikes aplenty and anarchy on the streets. The UK certainly is a grim place to be at the moment.

What a load of guff.

Firstly we haven’t Brexited yet.

Secondly they’re annual profits, not monthly profits.

Thirdly the annual profits may have risen by over 12.5% if we had voted to remain.

Would that be the Great Depression that helped launched a period of American Isolationism, the blitz and rationing caused by the rise of nationalism and the three day week caused by Britain's economy falling behind the rest of Europe?

You have no point relevant to my post.

From the Guardian, so should appease many.

Brexit vote was great relief for UK fishing industry, peers told
Withdrawal from EU will enable Britain to regain control of its waters and become a top seafood exporter, leaders say
Brexit is a big “prize” for the fishing industry and will enable it to become a world-leading seafood exporter like Norway, the House of Lords has been told.
Withdrawal from the EU would enable Britain to regain control of its waters after decades of “common grazing” rights assigned to European neighbours, fishing leaders said.
Bertie Armstrong, chief executive of the Scottish Fisherman’s Federation, said the referendum result was fantastic news for his industry. It marked the first real opportunity since quotas were imposed in 1983 to return to “being a world leader in sustainable seafood”, he said.

That is undeniably good news. Was always going to be a big boost for fishing.

Being born in Hastings, I've always been proud of the fishing fleet there and I know this is great news for those guys who work from EUROPE'S largest beach-launched fishing fleet.

(and despite voting 'remain' I've never bought a copy of The Guardian in my life )

Good news for the ship builders as well . Didn't they have to scrap a % of the boats when the quotas were initially installed

Not sure. But as much as I'm in the remain camp, the fishing industry suffered needlessly and very unfairly under EU, even I can't deny that. I remember watching various episodes of Trawlermen where the French and especially the Spanish would try and run the Brits out of shared waters. Got very heated at times. Had nothing but sympathy for the British trawlers.

Seem to remember something about the trawler men in Aberdeen and the shrinking fleet. They were more or less advised to send their boats for scrap to save mooring charges as the were unable to use them due to the quotas for the fleet being lowered.

They proper suffered. Despite my rantings I sincerely hope this puts them back to work and gets a world class industry restored.

At last, a post from you that I can wholeheartedly agree with!
