Default OT Boris was wrong about the £350m

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.

D i m wouldn't know that, his wife has to decide what cereal he eats in the
morning.
He can't, it's far too difficult.
He comes in here typing reams of drivel in an attempt to substantiate his
failure to vote.
It takes all sorts.
I'm amazed that he can decide to leave his bed in the morning, or maybe
evening.
Perhaps he needs a pee.

Positivity, Bob. That's what you need, grow some balls FFS.
How you can possibly be a remoaner after all the ****e coming from the EU is

And that's the thing isn't it. *If* 58 independent results predict
that the outcome of us leaving the EU will be anything other than
positive, wouldn't it be 'democratic' for *us* (in the UK) to know
about it ... and potentially have the 'informed' poll that we should
have had in the first place rather than just the blinkered / deceived
one?


But I'm sure the EU know that already.


Of course they do ... and also (know they) have a much bigger
opportunity to influence the impact on us negatively than we do
positively. ;-(

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.

But we already know that WTO rules will result in tariffs on some of our
exports to the EU that aren't there ATM.
So your definition of fine may not be fine for our exporters.

I didn't see 'bm''s comments as I have him killfiled.


No, quite, you and many.

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.

Personally I'm still not sure if he is just a troll ... with all his
publishing headlines / clickbait etc?

Cheers, T i m

Positivity, Bob. That's what you need, grow some balls FFS.


Yup. The footie or boxing match mentality. So common with Brexiteers.


Judging by some of the threads here, you don't some across as being very
bright. Perhaps a Remoaner thing.


So therefore you agree that 'balls' are the only thing needed for
negotiations?

If not, explain what you do mean. Other than just throwing around insults.
Perhaps you think that needs 'balls' too?

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.

Not uncommon on this ng, unfortunately.

There's quite a bit of evidence to suggest this.

prog.
