It would appear that the stock response to anything that does not go down well is to try and shoot the messenger.

Either the Japanese ambassador made the statement or he didn't, if people wish to convince themselves he didn't then that is up to them.

 

They could also try and ignore the message from Japan to the EU and UK concerning brexit.

http://www.mofa.go.jp/files/000185466.pdf

 

I am not trying to shoot the messenger rather than trying to get a balanced result. The Remainers quote all day from the Independent and the Guardian etc while the Brexit side quote from the Express, Mail etc.

 

The problem is that few people read, or even have the time to read the biased papers from each side, about the same story and that is closer to where the truth lies, somewhere in the middle.

 

TBH I am fed up with the whole damn Brexit even though That is what I voted for.

 

From what I can gather the EU, even though it wants to get rid of the UK, is trying to make it as hard as they can, possibly to scare off any other country who wants to leave.

 

Whether it will work or not I have no idea and I don't think anybody else does either.

 

IMHO ALL of the government MP's should be standing shoulder to shoulder and showing a united front. What many of them fail to remember is that while they are all members of the Conservative party, they were in fact elected by their constituents and should be taking notice of what they say as they can be voted out at the next election.

 

My problem as a voter is that there isn't another party who I would prefer in their place.

Ahhh, so it is English after all, as English as the national dish, Indian curry or the Chinese take away and the Brexiteers say multi-culti has given us nothing, not only the cuisine has been enriched it would seem.

Try the Monster Raving Looney Party. At the recent local elections Howling Laud retained his seat on the Hart City Council. Badger and Monkey the Drummer have organised a victory party for him at the Oak Pub West Molesley. Should be a good night "Gripper and the Gonads " will be playing our favorite tunes. Rumour has it Vince Ripper and the Rodent Show will also make an appearance.

They have a great manifesto.

 

The Loony Party proposes that all Schools would have a Jumble sale or fete or other fundraising event at least twice per month to help raise funds for those little extras. . . such as Desks, Books, paper, pens , etc

 

They will pass a law ordering British Airways Flight Attendants to cheer up.

 

Parliament will be relocated to Wormwood Scrubs, reducing the commuting costs for most Peers and MPs.

They will reduce the national debt by selling the castles back to the French. (Buyer dismantles)

Chocolate and Sex will be available to all on the NHS.

If you look hard enough there is a political Party out there for you.

Am I missing something?

We currently import perishables from Africa, Egypt, USA and many other non EU countries without any reported problems. Are you saying when we leave the EU the British government are going to change procedures to make it more difficult to bring these goods into the country?

 

The British Government won't have any say in it, we are leaving the customs union end of, so it will inevitably cause issues with items crossing by sea. Last time I looked Africa and USA did not come via the channel tunnel or ferries :-) Fact is there is no gain for anyone, just have to make do and do best we can with what we have and what is agreed.

I don't know why people think we can just leave the EU and think we can still have all the benefits at no cost. Something has to give.

9 hours ago, aright said:

It's interesting isn't it that when Leavers are asked the reason for leaving you get answers like to save money on the cost of food, clothing, footwear etc.. The benefit of not having to pay EU fees, as the second highest contributor in the EU and getting no return. Establishing our own laws, having a directly responsible Parliament, controlling our borders and regulatory affairs. getting rid of an undemocratic, unaccountable, wasteful, overpaid and vindictive Commission, doing global trade deals etc etc

Yet when you ask Remainers the reason for staying you get no coherent answer. The weakness of their argument all along has been they can't tell us the advantages of staying which led directly to the majority of people voting leave.

Where to start?

Fees? you think we will not still have to pay anything as a result of negotiating trade deals?

Saving on cost of food clothing etc? How is this going to work when the pound has dropped 15% so shortly will see increase in real terms for buying items.

Establishing our own laws? We already did and no law was ever imposed on us without a unanimous vote from EU from all members including our own government. There is not 1 law that was not passed by our government.

Controlling borders? We already had control but I guess you mean stopping the free movement of EU members. Do you think this will stop the real immigration issue which is illegal immigrants?

The majority of the people did not vote to leave I may add, just more voted to leave than remain, not quite the same thing.

The only thing I agree with is over paid and wasteful EU commission. Should have stayed in and used referendum vote to force change and also to amend the free movement of EU members, not just evoke article 50 with no plan.

Benefits of remaining?

Common standards allowing free movement of materials between countries, selling what little we manufacture to those standards. Free study in EU countries, free to move to other EU countries to work, ease of movement of supply chain items between EU countries, EHIC cards for health insurance, hassle free movement between GB and EU countries for holidays (unless Luton airport lol). Improved workers rights and benefits ( most of which the tories been trying to remove for years).

Wales has benefited by massive inward investment and grants from EU for years, strangely Wales majority voted to leave, and many people I know actually voted more on local issues than anything to do with the EU and now say "oh , we can't get those grants anymore? WHy not?"

Yes there are many people on both sides that have strong reasons and beiefs for voting the way they did, unfortunately there were also many people who voted with no idea of issues either way.

The whole campaign was a shambles both sides.

Glad I left lol

It’s a bit of a struggle staying on the right side of the council, but we’ll worth doing so.  For all their ridiculous bureaucracy and red tape, they mean we’ll, and are willing to put their hands in their pockets to make housing in Glasgow habitable.
