  • maybe there is a housing shortage due to the impossibility of planning for an economy that allows hundreds of thousands of immigrants in every year?  Dunno, that;s probably racist.

    Ridiculous article. From the Guardian, so any semblance of reality is fleeting at best. So none of these problems existed before the Brexit vote? I doubt it. Anti Brexit people are like anti Trumpers

    Good article, and it makes the same point(s) that I have been making for a while.   The referendum was twenty months ago and the government seems not a whole lot more prepared for the conseq

I don't believe there will be a loss of trade with the EU we are as important a market to them as they are to us. We were maybe still are the largest purchasers of Mercedes in the EU outside of Germany. Not a market they would want to loose I would have thought.

I own 2 small-medium businesses with my main market the UK and secondary Germany and France. On the basis of what I feel and what my European customers tell me I don't expect my sales to change. On the basis of my UK business contacts I would say there are marginally more happy(I didn't say ecstatic ) punters than apprehensive. I don't know of anyone who is terrified.

I see Brexit as a great opportunity for all business in the UK providing they grasp it with both hands.  Of course I accept it won't all be plain sailing.

Feel free to define private any way you want.

You are obviously irritated that what Mark Carney said in private ended up in the public domain. Not surprising, I doubt if any brexiteer wants to be told that brexit has cost the country £200 million a week already.

Mark Carney was part of project Fear... his comments are not important.

Verbal diarrhea. The parliament vote to trigger Art 50 did not bestow any powers on the referendum result whatsoever.

The current major party in the UK parliament has bribed a number of MP's in an attempt to ensure that parliament will legislate in whatever way the unelected ministers decide. Its a numbers game and if it wasn't for rebels the unelected bureaucrats would always win.

The unelected bureaucrats are in Brussels. That diarrhea must be contagious.

Mmmmm, The Express, Brexit Central! 

You would be correct in not relying too much on any

news media. In the UK, a handful of giant corporations

control the nation’s TV channels, news outlets, radio

stations, search engines and social media platforms.

This has given wealthy individuals and organisations

huge political and economic power and enabled them

to distort the media landscape to suit their interests

and personal views.

Thank you for pointing out my spelling mistake

 

I used to have personal spell checker called Sgt Rock but he's not around. I'd be happy to appoint you? You get a hat and a biscuit for each spelling mistake.

 

Now, interesting piece on Radio 4. It seems the first ever referendum was due to the fact that Harold Wilson was worried about a split Labour Party. Jenkins in the right corner and Benn in the left. Looks like Harold was more fortunate than Cameron!

 

Interesting that Thatcher was so gung-ho! Also contemporaneous vox pop showed the same loutish nuckle dragging behaviour from the anti-remain types we have come to find so familiar!

 

Any spelking erors?

You don't need me, all you need is a spell checker and an online dictionary, something I use frequently, it is a sign of respect towards one's fellow users of this site.

Another theory is that the 1975 referendum was due to the fact that Harold Wilson was worried that entry into the EEC was illegal, as the British Constitution requires Parliament to consult the electorate directly, where constitutional change which would affect their political sovereignty, is in prospect. 

 

The 1975 referendum campaign leaflets can be seen here:

Amazing how much more close to the truth the NO campaign was.

Appalling behaviour by morons of course, but nowhere near as bad as the footage of the immigrants/refugees who deliberately pushed a German woman down the stairs in a 'tube' station - for no reason whatsoever, other than not being moslem (?)....

 

Sadly, stupid idiots tend to become 'braver' (:sad:) at 3.45 a.m.... - although the German woman was attacked during the daytime....

 

Even so, its largely irrelevant as stupid people have behaved extremely badly since long before brexit.

Indirectly, yes of course. Hatred of foreigners generally has now been legitimised as far as the lumpen masses are concerned.

 

I do hope the Spanish take out on the English on the Costas for speaking English in Spain and for being embarrassingly tasteless.

Funnily enough, I have just been watching documentaries about the Plantagenets. They liked England.

 

But to respond to your witty response, I think the UK lost a great deal of respect since Thatcher. Right now most people would just shake their heads sadly and say very little. Embarrassing

I would say the same, except that I would insert Blair for Thatcher.

You need to read all of this and similar threads. As a number of us came to that conclusion long ago.
