Guest Jedi Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Johnson's interviews before the next GE (if he grants any) should be good, 'but you said you would get Brexit done, its not really started yet'.......'er ar ha er Faroe Islands, blah, er, great deal, growing market, blah er' And we dont seem to have an incremental increase in police numbers, or hospitals or nurses....'blug er, well, grr, can the Great British public actually spell incremental? I mean...' wheres the fridge? Edited December 11, 2019 by Jedi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for confirming your total ignorance of how international trade works. Did you bother to read the section on mutual recognition? Even with no formal EU free trade agreements, the UK has massive trade with countries such as the US, India, Australia, and Russia. The EU's protectionist tariffs (worse than Trump's) make our imports more expensive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I don’t buy the argument that it’s OK for ‘rich people’ to vote Conservative. There’s plenty of wealthy people who have a social conscience and are not driven by greed and self interest. Then again you have the morons who think that because they own their own homes (often with the help of significant mortgages) and have a few quid in investments and/or pensions then their interests are aligned with the likes of Johnson, Mogg and their mega rich backers. C*nts every one of them.It's not "OK", far from it. It is, however, understandable. Lots of rich people become that way from treating others badly for their own ends, others are told from birth that they deserve their wealth because they're somehow better than the common herd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EU's protectionist tariffs (worse than Trump's) make our imports more expensive. This is a potential argument as to why the UK should leave the EU, albeit it wasn't the one put to the voter. Unfortunately if there's anyone in Westminster that's a skilled enough negotiator to be able to tap a fag outside a boozer, they haven't made themselves known as yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Briggs Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 2 minutes ago, Snafu said: I wonder how many people will lose their jobs because of a no deal Brexit and how many businesses will go under as a result? Even if Yougov's poll is correct, the Conservatives will have an overall majority of 28. Johnson would then be able to get his EU deal through Parliament. Almost all the Tory rebels have been deselected or are standing down at this election. All the Tory defectors to other parties will lose. So why are you wondering about a highly unlikely no deal Brexit? If Johnson tried to renege on his EU deal, Tory MPs would boot him out of Number 10. It would a suicidal move that would destroy his reputation and career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Stubbs Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I wonder if that 21% of Tories are more motivated by Brexit or SNPbad. Given the area voted 70% Remain, I'm guessing the latter. Enough wrong'uns will back her up on the day, imo. Hope I'm wrong, that would be tremendous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
