Brexit thread

I use the word "hate" very cautiously, but I hate that woman. She's the embodiment of everything that's rotten in the main stream media.

So the first steps to rejoining then. **** you Farage!

[Kwacky]

This sounds promising.

But will the UK accept the offer?

[Monty]

"They" need to be very careful with that before the next election. You could see large groups of voters going to parties like Reform UK. We're still a single-issue voting public.

[duke63]

They do need to be careful.

But what was a vote winner in Brexit is fast becoming a vote loser. That fact changes everything.

[duke63]

This beggars belief.

Now the idiots realise NI probably would already have a 51% majority if they seek reunification of Ireland they are running scared.

My understanding of the Good Friday agreement is that the UK and Irish government can have no involvement in it.

It didn't need a super majority because it was only advisory.

The Tories panicked and decided to make it binding.

More winning

Daily Mail out rage at countries protecting their borders

Maybe it'll lead to a boost for the UK's own tourism industry....?

Daily Mail out rage at countries protecting their borders

I saw that. Was waiting for the wave of gammons stating that "this isn't the Brexit I voted for" and "what gives them the right to control us coming into their country", finished with "the government needs to sort this out"

Today's front page of the Express. No wonder Britain is ****.

Here is me waiting for a new visor from France because its held up in UK customs along with a big delivery to the UK importer.

It seems like the current political approach is to Gaslight us ..

All Politicians simply ignore concerns & talk up everything (/or talk up improvements they will make, depending on their allegiances) .

[D41]

Ha!...."Gaslight", with Ingrid Bergman...it's a classic.

[Kwacky]

The latest figures show we are 28th in the World GDP rankings
We have dropped below India.

The Netherlands has taken over from London as the leading Stock Exch in Europe.

[D41]

To be fair, the UK experienced slightly above average growth in GDP over the last year or two....India's GDP growth has been substantial to say the least....and with their vast population, it seems inevitable that they'd start catching up with the rest of the world sooner rather than later.

Why is the Government still cowtowing to the xenophobic mob? Its obvious Brexit is affecting the UK economy badly.

Because "the people" were told in advance that they were free to vote as they wanted, and that whatever they chose would be honoured.??

Democracy is only ever going to work well if the society that implements it, has the integrity & investiture necessary to properly consider the decisions required from it.

With increasing proportions of the population becoming addicted to tablets/phones, and being drip fed insidious facebook influences, we are fast approaching an Idiocracy.

Democracy in it's current form is evidently no longer fit for purpose. Brexshit is a good example.

Not true

It was an advisory referendum, not a binding one. The Supreme Court said if it was binding it would have been over turned by the courts.

The Tories panicked at the next general election and said they would convert the vote result into law.
