You got nothing have you? (not even an understanding of the word tangible😀)

You hang your coat on some distant imaginary event that you hope will happen just to avoid facing what right in front of your nose.

 

I was wrong about Brexit, I see that now. One day you will I’m sure

And were you happy to pee away money on more federal expansion, waste and gravy trains!.

 

Which was something we could do absolutely nothing about stopping, halting or even reducing?.

 

All empires fall, when they do they all return to running they're own country. The Romans learned, the French learned, the Germans learned, the Dutch learned, Scandinavia learned, the Russians learned and so did we. Some forgot a little too quickly

The EU don't have a monopoly on that, look how good 'our lot' are at doing it too

[GarethM]

Very true, but we can atleast in some way not elect them. I know very unlikely, but it's South park all over again, choosing between a turd sandwich and a douche.

 

But at the moment it's the same all over the world, woke WEF weirdos.

All pushing the same agenda and rubbing out noses in it.

Very rare these days a genuine question 🤣 This thread is just comical side show gone.

Someone with a much greater knowledge of such things than I, recently told me that the very concept of the "internet forum" is very much in decline due to the increasing use of other forms of (un?)social media.

 

That being the case, what we have here is very much worth looking after and maybe even worth making a wee bit of effort to sustain.

 

Without such, there is a danger that your statement simply becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.

 

Which would be a great pity.

 

Personally, I wouldn't like what's here not to be here.

 

*edit* - warts and all!

I’m just gonna flip that for ya Mick. 
 

You come round ‘ere moaning about how siht Brexit is because the pound bombed against the dollar and when I pointed out the same is true of the Yen and the Euro you want ME to tell you what’s good about Brexit. 
 

Well I still hold by my original preference for Brexit, what changed YOUR mind?

[Mick Dempsey]

I don’t say it was shit because of the pound dollar situation, I just pointed it out as a factor.

 

But, fair question.

 

The reality of the loss of freedom of movement and working for Brits in Europe.

More difficult for UK businesses to trade in Europe.

No stopping of illegal immigration since.

NHS even worse than before.

Promised trade deals with the US not materialising.

The possibility of the UK breaking up.

Our side business is growing meat to export. The french are one of the UK's biggest customers. They are a nationa of meat eaters and are still buying from us. A devalued pound means we make more here £ for lb and as long as we don't rely on too many imports that suits us.

[Mick Dempsey]

It’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good.

If there where any provable benefits from Brexit you would think that the politicians in charge and Farage would be patting themselves on the back, banging their drums and saying “I told you so”. 
The silence is deafening.
