[Politics] Brexit

[Guinness Boy]

Forgone conclusion as soon as [MENTION=12825]cunning fergus[/MENTION] started expressing opinions on brexit.
Chuck it in the brexit thread so he cant post anymore.........some mod really has it in for him

Poor old Ferg hasn't turned up in a while. I think the CTRL and C keys got stuck on his computer,

The prime minister didnt give the electorate the chance to decide by himself. 544 MP`s democratically voted to delegate the decision to the voters.

Exactly, the politicians

 

[pastafarian]

One of the ironies of the Leaver position is that the only way they could inject more (direct) democracy into the EU's institutional arrangements would be either by having a directly elected President (which they would regards as something deeply sinister) or by bolstering the powers of the Parliament - a Parliament in which our UKIP friends fulfilled their democratic mandate by taking the money but effectively doing nothing. I'm not sure that we can take lessons on responsible democracy from that direction?
.

You seem to have your wires crossed. Leavers were not interested in injecting more democracy into the EU institutions. Leavers wanted fvck all to do with those institutions. No point in polishing a turd. The battle to inject more much needed democracy into the EU is the fight of the poor sods who will be still in it.

Yeah. Let's not say anything about Brexiteers campaigning for 40 odd years and having no fecking plan. Blame everybody else. It's easier (and predicted by many)

Brexiteer politicians certainly have some culpability but we were talking about .. and you were ridiculing, laying any blame on remainers which is ridiculous.

 

[Dick Head]

I'm going to be unspeakably smug and say that with respect to Davis, you heard it here first - before the Friday meeting at Chequers.

If anyone goes now it will be Davis, I reckon

I now predict:

1. England will lose 3-0 to Belgium in the Final

2. Elvis is alive and well and living in Worthing

Elvis isn't living in Worthing.

Oh dear,the bitter and twisted still calling us morons because we want our elected politicians to get on with the job they promised us they would do.Morons are the thoughtless idiots like this bunch:-

What campaign? Nobody listened for 40 years - we didn't even have a voice until Farage arrived on the scene (and no matter how much you hate Farage, that is a fact).

Blame everybody else. It's easier.

OK, carry on..................

(and predicted by many)

Yeh? Cameron and all his super-clever-dick intellectually superior and more politically savvy (their opinion!) remainer chums couldn't even predict they'd lose the referendum!

My,aren't you the clever one?Were you supporting Germany,too?

Will you ever learn ... continually calling people with entirely legitimate alternative views morons isn't a winning strategy. Unjustifiable condescension, sneering and belittling 17.4 million people is partly why we are in this situation .. will you and your tediously patronising ilk ever learn?

Your woefully inaccurate critique and constant need to claim I told you so does remind me of a very needy child throwing a tantrum though.

Well what would you call people who still think 'no deal' is an option after you yourself agreed that no deal would end up as an extension to EU membership called 'emergency measures'.

There are people on the last 3 pages that think we already operate WTO rules and tariffs, that we don't need borders to implement WTO rules and tariffs or, best of the lot, that the borders of the UK are everybody else's responsibility but not the UKs?

With the best will in the world, how can you not make the judgment that these people are sadly lacking in cognitive ability?

Because I'm struggling to think of an alternative term to 'moron'

And I don't have to influence or win over anyone. All I do is observe this whole farce from a safe position.

And, by the way, this is exactly what I told you would happen

Its everybody elses fault.

 

[pastafarian]

YOU'VE GOT EXACTLY WHAT YOU VOTED FOR YOU MORON

You voted to leave and we're leaving..

Well yes we are.
Just imagine if you had stuck to your previous belief that brexit wouldnt happen and that we would remain in the EU.
You should thank us for making you see sense and forcing you to change your mind. You would look a right berk now wouldnt you if you hadnt taken our advice.

You have been nauseous for ages.

The pic makes me nauseated.

The fact Boris Johnson arranged a PHOTOSHOOT of him signing his resignation letter tells you everything about him.

Irrespective of the whatever anyone thinks about number 10, there were smart enough to make public his resignation before he had the chance.

Even the DAILY MAIL and the DAILY EXPRESS are taking the piss.

I've always liked David Davis to be honest a generally honorable politician. Boris nah, waited for someone else to jump thinking it was the MAJOR story.

It wasn't.

Everyone was just waiting for him to go because of his pathetic attempt at Foreign Secretary.

Well perhaps. But they (or those with a few brain cells) do rather bleat this democratic deficit quite often and add it to their hate list. After all they must have some reason for wanting 'fuvk all to do with these institutions' other than a reflexive and possibly irrational hatred. Or, thinking about it, maybe not and you are right - I got my wires crossed and thanks for pointing this out.

Other than the German Chancellor's remarkable resemblance to the late, great Les Dawson in the first picture, I'd be rather more troubled by looking at pictures of our own leader snuggling up one Donald Trump over the next few days. Especially given his admiration for Boris.

Fewer brain cells though

Crikey.....if thats a serious comment, then its a sad indictment on the mentality of the younger generation.
Only maturity can give you the experience to understand what goes on around us. We spend all our formative years wrapped up in our own self-satisfying world, blaming our parents and the rest of the world for anything that goes wrong. We are young, vulnerable and susceptible to brain washing. We socialise more and question less. It takes years and years to work out how the system works, how it is manipulated, who controls it and who benefits from it. Only then can you really take decisions based on the good of the country rather than the good of the individual.
When you are older, you have more emotional maturity. You lose parents, brothers, sisters and tragically, sometimes your own children. There are no more older generation. Its you. Divorce, business failure and ever demanding needs of children add to the cocktail of life. You have more time to reflect, to consider and to reason. The brain cells still work.

Not entirely serious but thanks for jumping in to the net.

However there are a couple of serious responses. Firstly the older generation here has decided FOR the younger generation regarding something that they themselves won't have to live with much. Boomers have had all the benefits of economic progress and freedom to travel and have decided that their youngers shouldn't have it any more for no better reason than a lot of them are scared of brown people. Secondly you have experience of being old NOW. You can't, wont and don't know what the world will be like when today's millennials are old so you're voting just as selfishly as anyone else.
