I agree with much of this, for the reasons summed up very well in the following post:- 18 hours ago, CG1 Blue said: Going back to the original headline: "Put your cards on the table, EU makes last Brexit call to Britain" The EU commission and negotiators reject out of hand every proposal put to them. They will continue to do this until the last knockings. They do this in the hope we will just give up and fall back into line. They do this with confidence, knowing that Westminster is stuffed full of Remainers and that there is a concerted effort from MSM and billionaire globalists to scare the UK public. Asking the UK to put it's cards on the table is a joke, and they are laughing into their expensive EU funded lunches. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough I'm less worried about the prospect of a hard no deal brexit. Simply because I think it would be so disastrous, that it would quickly be reversed. If you want brexit you need a plan - one that will work. We haven't got one yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Laughing Gravy Posted July 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2018 After following these threads on Brexit for over two years and also on some of the national papers and from MPs and interviews it is becoming clear to me, that there seems to be a continuing trend and rhetoric from many remainers. I voted leave and would do again and again regardless. It now seems that the following is emerging from many remainers. We didn’t know what we voted for. Too hilarious to commemnt on. Uneducated people voted leave. Those with a university degree, supposedly with more intelligence voted remain. Old people who voted it shouldn’t count as it won’t affect them. Rubbish. The democratic vote was advisory and doesn’t count. Another one to funny to provide a response. Nobody was told leaving meant leaving the CU and SM. Everyone was told countless times. The leave campaign was all lies. It could be argues project fear was too. Big businesses support remain. Not all do but certainly those that are benefitting from the EU. People who voted leave are racists and little Englanders. Doesn’t deserve a reply. Leavers didn’t understand the complexities of Brexit. Wrong, we did. We just expected a leaver with some backbone to lead the exit and not be bullied by the EU and her own party. We need a second vote. We tried for a vote for 40 plus years and were told there would be one vote only. I would be up for that let’s have another in 20 years. More than fair. On TV programmes especially on the Bias BBC there seems to be desperation from the remainers, shouting down any leavers comments and coming up with some of the ludicrous statements above. Is it that dementia has set in with these people not knowing what was promised by voting in the referendum. My last issue is what is it with the EU? Besides the odd one or two people it is difficult to defend with its bureaucratic, dictatorial, undemocratic dominating and bullying countries into submission. If one thing it has shown what the EU will do to prevent you from leaving. What a lovely organisation to be in! For me the most important thing is that the referendum, whoever you voted for, has highlighted just how the UK were incarcerated into the EU from Blair to Major. Even if TM ‘fudges’ it today which I expect it, the EU and the UK relationship will never ever be the same and I can’t see the UK people ever trusting the EU no matter what. If there was an economic crash because of the EU, do you honestly think British people will say, thanks we deserved that? 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But take more, none of the hardline Brexiteers in the government ac want the PM’s job. The accusation that Brexit is failing because the PM support Remain during the referendum is very useful to the hardline Brexiteers in He government who have a part to play in the government’s continuing Brexit failure.

You can flap all you like, hurl your thinly veiled insults as usual; the fact is that the PM stated that the objective of today's meeting is to come to a proposal that, "...commands the support of the public". So, with the public not having seen the proposal thus far, I merely question how she intends to fulfil that objective. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for affording me the opportunity to dispel another fallacy - I want nothing but the best for the home nations as individual entities. That I want Scottish decisions made in Scotland does not mean that I do not want that rUK to prosper also. From a political perspective it is essential that our neighbours are economically strong and politically stable; from a people perspective, I think the impact of Brexit will negatively affect the population and I do not want that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR I have no problem with that if that's what the majority want and a few years ago that wasn't the case. It may change. However, if you want to join or stay in the EU decisions would be made in Brussels, as they are now tangled with thousands of bureaucratic wrappings, to ensure it is as difficult as possible to change, as we are having been seeing that. I can understand the will of independence. That is what the UK is trying to do now. But you would then join an greater controlled organisations where you can't elect them out.
