So this is an argument for Brexit?

 

sorry, way off topic, but since you ask;

 

not an argument for Brexit - rather an argument for keeping Scotland within the UK

 

Haggis trading and consumption throughout the UK would be greatly facilitated if Scotland would remain rather than Sexit.

Actually, it might even help promote English as the neutral lingua franca of the EU since it would no longer be associated with a major player.

It seems that most fail to understand how English as lingua franca in EU has developed from British English and not American and fail to understand the situation regarding schools both inside and outside the EU.

The major language schools in Thailand have faced significant contraction over the last 2 years ......ask them ...... and within the EU the drop in need for English coupled with the need for British teachers to get visas along, with other nationalities will reduce employment options for British teachers......Irish in the meantime will still benefit from the freedom of movement and right to work throughout the EU.

This is regarded as  "scaremongering" by head-in-the-sand Brexiteers, when in reality this is factual reporting and we already know what delays across the channel can achieve in just a few days........ this time it will persist for years. Note the solution is not to remove the delays but create new lorry parks!!!!

Essentially Brexiteers have lost the argument and now all that is left is to through their rattle out of the pram... 

 Brexiters are going nuts because all the leading members of the cabinet now are remainers. So everybody in the world now knows that Jeremy Hunt, Philip Hammond and Theresa May herself have all given persuasive arguments against Brexit. It would be very strange if other European leaders didn't use this knowledge to their advantage in any discussions. I can't begin to imagine what it is like to negotiate from such a position.

Do your friends in Brussels not know that the Germans threatened and then tried to punish us in the 40’s by blocking our ports, for not surrendering to them. Yet as a country we survived. Unfortunately it would seem that some of the present generation are lacking in backbone.

Oh, you have not been worthy of this debate for so long anymore. Are you aware how easy it is to label your type of folks as "Whiners"? We'll get on to that if you keep on going your silly "Project Fear" or "Snowflake" stories.

Just more scaremongering by the media and the remainers, a ploy to make the Brexit voters have regrets and change their opinions in favour of remain, or going into Brexit will bring doom, gloom and destruction to the land.

 

If a no deal Brexit does happen, sterling will crash through the floor.

 

It won`t happen, because no UK government can afford for this happen. No point in panicking yet.

Jada, jada, jada.. No. You wholesomely are wrong. If Brexit would happen, it would be disastrous for UK.  Dobroy nochi.

Sorry, I don’t understand Finnish, but thanks for wishing the best for the British people who voted for Brexit. Let’s hope that Finexit will continue to gain support in your country. You know it makes sense.

You are welcome. I'm sure you went through my text with Google translate.

 

I'm sure we Finns are intelligent and educated enough not to fall to the same trap UK and USA folks did earlier. It would be a national embarrassment if we would be such petty people with so much trapped anger inside us, we would be ready to wreck out own home, simply because some Ruskies push us to do so.

 

Fortunately we know how to drink alcohol and release our internal pressures as a by product. We all can drink and laugh at this mess Brexit has been since the day 300 minus one.

Oh, I didn't even notice this until now. Are you one of those losers who tries to fly on your grandmothers and your mothers credit, feeling powerful doing so?

 

Well, I guess that explains your way of thinking about yourself and the negativity towards EU. In Europe we respect what the people have done. Not the ones, whose only merit is that their grandmothers were great people.

 

Your input in 40's is absolute zero. Stop trying to steal you grandmothers glory to yourself. She was somebody, probably a person who showed strength. You.. well hopefully you have done something by yourself to make you noticeable person among your peers.

A rather sweary account from the former head of the Leave Alliance of why an irrational hatred of the EU and a longing for no deal are not the best ideas.

but but but but but but but but but but but but...Dunkirk!

[vogie]

What a great post mentioning Dunkirk, a lot of posters on here appear to have lost that Dunkirk spirit. Can you imagine if the beaches were full of leavers and remainers, the leavers would be saying to the remainers, 'come on chaps the boats are here to liberate us and take us back to blighty. The remainers would be saying, well the Germans aint that bad really, the sand is quite nice and what if the boat sinks on the way back. ??

This I will copy for Facebook....the guy obviously doesn't get the irony....

Back to "scaremongering"....

Skye...NB who owns this......

Sky Data poll published on Monday revealed.

If there were such a vote 58 per cent would choose to "remain" in the EU, 32 per cent would vote for 'no deal' with Brussels, and only 10 per cent for the Brexit plan that Theresa May thrashed out with her cabinet a fortnight ago. - Sydney Herald.

All the countries that Brexiteers mistakenly think will replace EU business just look on in bemused puzzlement.

As Brexit is basically are very parochial group they have little or no idea about how the rest of the world operates.

PS at. 58% we are approching a 2 thirds majority.

"Brexit is shaping up to be the stuff of nightmares and it's essential the government begins to explain to businesses and the public exactly what the implications of a no deal Brexit are".

......

 

One wonders if Mrs May actually realises this. Whatever she does now, it is too late for a successful Brexit.

 

Another former Leavers opinion on the state of Brexit.

This chap seems to be basing his decision to vote leave on the state of Europe in 1940, I'd prefer more up to date information myself.

Yes, and it does remind me of all the scare stories in 1999, regarding the millennium bug. Many people at that time purchased more goods than they needed, after reading all the scare reports. This is what I think will occur next March, allthough the Bureaucrats in Brussels along with some remainers, may try to cause extra problems. 

 

 

Be very careful about comparisons with millennium bug...It just shows how Brexiteers are getting things wrong through their own ignorance.

Millennium bug was avoided because was anticipated and measures taken to avoid it....

"

Nothing broke because we spent 18 months reviewing every single piece of software, upgrading, patching or replacing anything that wasn't certified to have no Y2K issues and then testing it all. Hundreds of people, tens of thousands of person hours.”

“We worked hard to upgrade and mitigate systems that were going to stop working,” concluded one IT veteran.  “We didn’t waste two years arguing about what millennium bug we were going to have.”

 

"the relatively painless result was only achieved because whole teams of people toiled for tens of thousands of hours over months and years to identify all potential millennium bug problems and fix them."

Of course there are similarities between Brexit and Dunkirk...we made a hasty improvised ill-planned withdrawal from Europe and then slowly but surely made our way back in again. The true spirit of Dunkirk.

As an uber remainer you may do well to watch this, it is very simple to understand, I think you might learn something. Incidentally that is the 3rd time you have quoted my post to me, it must have made an impression on you.

Irony goes over your head does it. Your chum brought up Dunkirk, I merely responded with a little light hearted humour/humor, sorry it went over your head.
