Popular Post Anon999 Posted March 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) On 28/02/2018 at 5:01 AM, Samui Bodoh said: 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 consequences than they were then. Brexit is a huge, fiendishly complex process of untangling ties that have evolved over forty years or so, and the likelihood of them being severed in a reasonable manner within two years was always nonsense. There is an obvious solution. The UK is simply not prepared for Brexit at this moment, so it should swallow its pride, admit that, and put off the whole idea for a generation. If there is still a desire on the part of her citizens to leave the EU in... twenty years(?), then there can be another referendum held, but this time with the proper preparation. Continuing down this path will cause more harm that good, despite the results of the Referendum. Common sense desperately needs to beak out. Common sense did break out. Europe is a mess as you may well know, due to the large percentage of people voting for minority political parties as they are disenchanted with the self important unelected bureaucrats that operate the systems for their own personal benefit and financial gain. Once the UK has disentangled itself from an unwanted political and judicial control by Brussels then the benefits will begin to appear. The UK voters wanted a trading arrangement,nominally called the Common Market, that was purely a facade for the creation of a European state. The politicians want it to be one country with one currency, one set of laws, one central bank, one army, one police force and of course one controlling european parliament, with Brussels calling the shots and making all the trading decisions with countries of their choosing. They are petrified that the UK, being the second largest economy within the EU, will not only take their money and run but will be successful in agreeing lucrative trading deals without the interference of Brussels. The list is long but the US, China, India and former Commonwealth countries come to mind along with many others who may well be members of the EU too. Time will tell but I wouldn't bet against the whole idealistic european dream coming unstuck at the seams in the not too distant future. Finally if you want to believe what the left wing Guardian rag spouts then it's 'up to you'. Edited March 30, 2018 by Anon999 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK voted for their view on stuff and the view was to get back to controlling ourselves. No good you crying and want another vote because it didn't go your way. Great example of a Gaussian distribution. Two outliers and a clear mean. In this case, we don't have that. It is a split. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally if you want to believe what the left wing Guardian rag spouts then it's 'up to you'. More delusion. The US is, incase you haven't noticed, enacting a number of protectionist measures, they are not looking for any free trade agreements with the UK and if they are these will target agriculture (wipe out the industry in the UK) and health care, wiping out the NHS. For now the US can sit back waiting while the UK's bargaining position worsens and concentrate on the easy prise of stripping financial services from an increasingly isolated London. As for your dreams of India and the former Commonwealth countries (AKA Empire 2) - please get a grip. China.... I guess you are in Thailand, if so go ask any Thai people you know about going begging to the Chinese when you need to make a deal. As for 'Common Sense' the Brexiteers in the UK seem to have totally forgotten the old adage 'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush'. So much so that they are eager to let go of the bird they have without any idea of where the bush is, much less if there are any birds in it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
