OT Boris was wrong about the £350m

wrote: In article , Tjoepstil wrote: you are simply saying that you are too t i m id to rise to a challenge, and want to stay in the EU kindergarten with mutti Merkel telling you how it is. Always hold on tight to Nurse For fear of something even worse. When I became a man, I put away childish things. Now explain just how *you* are going to rise to the challenge. What you really mean is you expect others to do it for you. Rather like an old man being in favour of war. What I find funny (because you can't take any of it / them seriously) is they (some of the hard core Brexiteers) really don't seem to be able to see past their 'cause'. As soon as someone asks them to explain their justification they rarely come up with anything that is much more than re-stating that it's just that, some abstract (as seen by the vast majority) cause and often just based upon their personal opinion / prediction, not general consensus / issue or even fact. The pity with all this is the (obvious) gullibility of 'most people' to believe the propaganda (from both sides) and then actually go out on vote on it. For some, no propaganda was needed as they already had their own 'cause' (typically 'immigration') and then were pushed others by the media (un-elected bureaucrats, 350M / week). I 'noticed' all the propaganda, the media, what others were saying and realising *no one* really knew what was going on and with the lack of any substantial fact (that wasn't just a minor cause) or control (it's not all down to us) couldn't decide one way or another, so couldn't vote on it. Outside of just feeling obliged to vote one way or another (as I believe many did), 13 MILLION people (nearly as many who voted either way) didn't even vote, possibly because they couldn't either. I think the reason the turnout was as high as it was (~73%) was because it was like a football match, with just two teams. Even with all the furore of the Brexit poll, the general election only saw a 69% turnout and I believe that was because there were more teams to pick from. [1] The bottom line ... IF leaving the EU was such a 'good thing' for 'most people' in the UK, if it was shown clearly and simply that it was a no-brainer, we would be all for it and it might have been a done deal by now (technically if not physically). Cheers, T i m [1] That should never have been the case in the first place. It should have been: "Of the 47M electorate, who wants to leave the EU?" counts hands "Ah, only 17M. You have democratically voted not to leave." |

And their view I've heard so often that the rest of the world is queueing up to do good trade deals with the UK. When all the evidence so far is the exact opposite. The US being of course frequently mentioned - now with a chap in charge determined to put the US first - and to be seen to do so for his own reasons. Which means he wants the very best possible terms for the US. Meaning any negotiations likely to be very prolonged - unless we are prepared to just take any scraps we are thrown from the master's table. This to me is the whole problem with the theoretical Brexiteers we have so many of on here. Who basically couldn't organise a p**s up in a brewery. They seem to think all they had to do is say something to make it happen. -- *The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on my list.

It is never a good idea to reveal your hand to the other players. The EU don't appear to be 'targeting' negotiations. They seem to be sticking to what they said they would do when the UK talked about having a referendum. It must have come as quite a surprise to the 'EU needs us more than we need them' brigade. Who told us they would roll over and give us anything we wanted. Basically, to date, that gamble has failed. There is no issue WTO rules are fine. Then no need for any country to make a deal with any other then. Nice to know you understand trade so well. -- *Keep honking...I'm reloading.

And that's a shame in one way because I think he's just 'very confused' and 'mostly harmless' and obviously very passionate (/fanatical) about his cause, or pretends to be. The annoying bit (and why many have him killfiled etc) are his childish rants and comments that in the main have little or no bearing on the point in question. Not uncommon on this ng, unfortunately. Personally I'm still not sure if he is just a troll ... with all his publishing headlines / clickbait etc? There's quite a bit of evidence to suggest this. |

Fredxxx wrote There is no issue WTO rules are fine. But we already know that WTO rules will result in tariffs on some of our exports to the EU that aren't there ATM. But wont be more than the drop in the pound produces. So your definition of fine may not be fine for our exporters. Wrong, as always. |

You have a reason (obviously) but close to 50% of the voting population don't. close to 50% voted each way. and want to stay in the EU kindergarten with mutti Merkel telling you how it is. I do? Is that's what been happening or going to happen or something? I can't remember even meeting her? Do you have to meet someone to know them ?, I never met Hitler. Always hold on tight to Nurse Another projection mate? For fear of something even worse. I can't think of anyone who wouldn't be frightened of 'something worse' (other than Brexiteers of course). You mean like Germany controling europe ? Merkel is widely described as the de facto leader of the European Union, and the leader of the Free World. (according to wiki.) When I became a man, I put away childish things. And common sense by the looks of it. Common sense isn't common. It's like saying great minds think alike they don't, that's why we don't have an Einstein born every miniute. |
