Osborne, remainer to the core.

 

1. UK & IMF immediate recession if a leave vote happens

 

2. Housing market crisis

 

3. Emergency budget.

 

4. Unemployment will soar.

 

5. Every household will be £4300 worse off

Let me also throw in £ - $ parity, £ - € parity that had the hysterical pill abusers in a frenzy ??

 

I point out you paint all Remain arguments as ‘Project Fear’ then use the extreme predictions (that nobody believed any way) to ignore all Remain arguments.

 

You respond by doing the exact same thing again.

 

Away with you and your attemps to avoid the fact Brexit is a mess of Brexiteers own making.

Look What you just did:

 

I pointed out your repeated false argument of labeling all Remain arguments as ‘Project Fear’ ( a term invented by Leave campaigners) and then using the most extreme views within everything labelled ‘Project Fear’ to dismiss all other Remain views.

 

Called out on this already, you double down by focusing on exactly one of those extreme views but this time you ridiculously choose the views of the then sitting Chancellor of the Exchequer and project those as views of ‘Remainers’.

 

Point 1.

 

Renegade, you surely know Osborne is first and foremost a Tory politician he shares few if any political, social or economic views with the millions of Remain supporters who are not Tories.

 

You cherry picked (and you had time to do so) points of view from a man who millions of Remain supporters would not ‘pass water on’ if he were on fire.

 

Point 2.

Even If a Remain supporters who, like many Remain supporters is not a Tory, were to listen to Osborne, s/he would hear Osborne’s comments in their full context.

 

Example (*) I ‘Osborne’ believe that under the following circumstances (...) the following will occur (-.-.-).

 

What you gave us is:

 

Osborne said (-.-.-) will occur.

 

You skipped the context old chap.

 

You had plenty of time, so there is a reason why you chose to quote Osborne out of context.

 

 

 

Away with you and your use of ‘Project Fear’ to ignore all Remain arguments,

North Korea 'backs Scottish independence'

Exclusive: Kim Jong-un's regime would support an independent Scotland under Alex Salmond and is hoping to trade its natural resources for Scotch whisky, officials tell Telegraph.

 

"I believe independence will be positive as it will encourage personal exchanges and provide both countries with business chances," said Choe. "North Korea is rich in natural resources and we like the taste of Scotch whisky, so we can be beneficial to each other."

 

The business philosophy seems to chime as well.

Give British agri the chance to grow crops again without the cheap EU produce dumping.

Escort all Euro nationals to the ferry port and wave them bye-bye.

 

I'm all for hard Brexit at gunpoint.

 

I like that post, very entertaining.

 

"Germany can keep their cars".  Fair enough and they will be happy to close down their car manufacturing sites  that are in the UK.  Also all the companies in Britain that manufacture the parts.  That will teach them!

 

"Give British agri the chance to grow crops again".  Unfortunate then that Gove announced yesterday that after Brexit the farming subsidies will have to be cut (they are now paid by the EU) which will adversely affect the smaller farmers.

 

"Escort all Euro nationals to the ferry port and wave them bye-bye".   All good except that May is now proposing to relax the immigration policy to encourage more workers to come here, especially as the NHS is getting into a crisis situation because so many of the EU doctors and nurses are leaving. 

 

"I'm all for hard Brexit at gunpoint."  I'd be very careful, it looks to me that with your mindset you will find you are shooting yourself in the foot with your own gun ?

How many of those cars exported to the EU are British owned car manufacturers?  Without a soft Brexit how many of those car manufacturing companies would remain in the UK?

Not possible, as it would have been electoral suicide for remainer MPs (in leave constituencies) to vote against activating article 50.

Well, certainly not probable and for the reason you say. Trouble is now they are doing their best to block it by so many other methods. Makes things even more difficult and messy. It's bad enough trying to deal with the EU without all this domestic parliamentary dithering and backsliding.

You know full well the highstreet is dying a death mainly because of the internet. Bricks & mortar retail businesses with rent and rates to pay cannot compete with online businesses.

 

Please don't tag Brexit to every bit of bad news.  It's disingenuous.

 

That is true, but Brexit is having an effect on the High Street as well.  At the moment the weak pound is making imported goods more expensive for the retailers to buy in and because of the pressure piling on because of less footfall in the High Street, everyone's  having to cut their prices.  It's a double whammy.  You could argue that the pound falling has nothing to do with Brexit but I know you are not that naïve.

Remaining in the CU or SM, under the control of Brussels and the ECJ, while pumping £ Billions to the EU for the pleasure is not Brexit or leaving the EU.

My crystal ball?  I was asking you the question.

 

As far as "what is a soft Brexit", well I think you nailed it.  Some sort of re-hashed custom union and a form of single market for the trade deal.  It has already been said that we will be paying into the EU after Brexit so that is expected anyway.  Not Brexit?  Well it would be sad but without a seat at the table or a say in what happens in the EU I am afraid we would be out and therefore it's Brexit!

 

Personally I think that a "soft" or "hard" Brexit is a bit of a misnomer.  The terms mean different things depending on whoever is pitching them, but it is easy to use and people adapt their meanings accordingly.

The pressure is on and keeps being ramped up.  You really feel that more and more but surprisingly no blood on the carpet yet!

401 out of 632 MPs represent constituencies that voted for Brexit in the referendum. That's 64% of constituencies. And yet most of those MPs continue to frustrate the process because of their personal views.

 

I was listening to LBC the other night after Phillip Lee, MP for Bracknell (a Leave constituency) resigned so he could vote against the Brexit bill. The switchboard was jammed with furious Bracknell constituents. They were particularly angry at how he claimed to be resigning because he had a duty to protect his constituents. The constituents who voted him in to represent them. They voted to Leave.  He was representing himself.

 

You couldn't make it up...

I don't mind if people say the weak pound (caused largely by Brexit uncertainty, not by Brexit) has sped up the demise of some high street names. I object when they suggest the high street is dying because of Brexit alone.

Right, so The Guardian (center left publication) doesn’t agree with Tory Chancellor of the Exchequer... ‘I’ll go to the top of our stairs.

 

And you bothered telling us.

 

Once again. Osborne does not by any stretch of the imagination represent or express the views of millions of Remain supporters.

 

‘Project Fear’ you say, again, ‘Project Fear’is an invention of Leave supporters too lazy or unwilling to engae in adult debate.

 

From my ‘safe space’ I’m watching Brexiteers become increasingly agitated as Brexit flounders.
