Ross. Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 15 minutes ago, ICTJohnboy said: Becoming very clear now that we look set to leave the EU with No deal. Theresa May won't be able to carry on as PM and a general election will be the inevitable outcome. In that event I would like to see a coalition party formed from all who want to see us remain in the EU. That would be the only way the disaster of a No Deal departure could be avoided. The election would be called on a basis of do you want to stay in the UK or leave without a deal. Surely to god the country as a whole would see sense? Problem as I see it now is that even if there was a vote to overturn Brexit, a lot of international companies will still shift operations away from the UK anyway, through fear of another belly flop should the leave campaign get its arse in gear again. A bit like the independence referendum, the cat is out of the bag and the long term impact is inevitable. All you can do is hope to slow down the effects. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still like to think that many of those who voted leave will accept that they were sold a Utopian concept on the basis of a concoction of lies. There will always be those who say they knew exactly what they were voting for - but did they? Since moving to Lancashire, which voted by a substantial majority to leave, I've spoken to several who claim exactly that, but when when you press them on the subject you soon discover that immigration concerns were upermost in their minds.

John Lambies Doos Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Unbelievable she mentions pooling resources and then says the UK govt can never be neutral re. NI. Completely goes against Belfast Agreement. This won't go down well... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first is that the value of GBP continues to slide, my trips home see me increasingly wealthy and prosperous, culminating in me buying a castle as a holiday home, populating it with scheme dirties, and dying in the dungeon during a drink and drug fueled orgy over a bank holiday weekend. The second is that it will deliver independence for Scotland on a plate. I can handle either outcome. You're sorted then mate - you might have a long wait at passport control but other than that it's ideal!

Any jobs going at this castle? 3 hours ago, Inanimate Carbon Rod said: Could anyone see an outcome that wasn’t hard brexit coming from all this? Perhaps if we had people who weren’t monumental fucking morons negotiating then we’d have a chance of a norway style deal (but whats the actual point of paying the same losing control/influence anyway?) but that these fannies are so cocksure because of ole blighty that we are somehow entitled to a deal? Wtf? Why aren’t people asking questions about this? Is there honestly anyone with a braincell arguing that brexit will be a good thing now? This was obviously going to happen when the very idea of 'Brexit' was first mooted years ago. It could never have gone differently. The whole thing is a disgusting disgrace driven my horrendous people and their bitter racist ideals. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Jack D Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 So the NI border ball that she punted in December has just landed. No deal probability now escalated from highly probable to certain.
