Disentangling 40 years of an integrated economy and institutions was not a matter of taking a penalty kick. Unfortunately our masters had no clue of this before declaring A50. The Scottish Government had a 650 page white paper called Scotland's Future before the Indy Ref, the UK Government are still working off the back of an envelope 3 years later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theresa May would've loved that to have been the case but it patently wasn't. I don't think anyone apart from the Lib Dems took the bait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Venom Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 No it's not.I think we actually could, the EU set the baseline for "general" VAT rate or whatever it is.I've said it before, the Tories always increase VAT when in power, yet no one seems to be howling about how they pumped it up to 20% when they got back in gov. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just interested to note that these sinister mutterings all seem to come from Brexit supporters. Same as death threats to MPs also appear to have emanated from that side. Are Remainers less likely to be of a violent disposition than Leavers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brexiteers argument is nearly purely emotional rather than rational. I was talking to one last night and every reason he gave blaming the EU was actually decisions made by Westminster. I'd say rational people are less likely to resort to violence. P.S. I refer you to the post by the fuckwit Brexiteer and Trump defender above.

As for violence I don't take the view that harassing a benefit claimant is less serious than harassing an MP. Or that someone killing an MP is more imoortant than British bombs killing Yemenis. Political violence happens every single day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe cause nobody else really backed him up despite it happening when this forum was at its most tribal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 If anyone wants some light relief from this, I can recommend Road to Brexit on BBC. A spoof documentary starring Matt Berry. Very funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
