I suppose one thing that should be remembered is that you can amend your will so long as you are alive and of sound mind.  I am not sure which of those two criteria is preventing a democratic review of the progress and direction of Brexit, but maybe in the longer term Brexit will prove to be only the first nail in the coffin

This of course she has completely failed Tom do. A fact that even many of those who voted to remain acknowledge.

 As for lies, did not N.C and the Bureaucrats in Brussels categorically state that there was no intention of creating an E.u army. 

And very importantly, what you should be asking yourself. If we were to remain in this so called union. What would it look like in say, 10 years time.That is off course, if the E.u. Survives that long.

 

 

i dont see any harm in a european army,we have troops already in latvia and other nations which are all bar a few members of NATO,shame it didnt happen earlier and the nation would of saved billions and have 1000s of troops still alive instead of following uncle sam into illegal expensive unwinnable wars

Well interpreted but you have messed up the quotes.

 

But the 2" (inches) was a fair measurement of your long list of leavers lies that you were on about.

 

I wonder how many pages of lies could be compiled into the "Project Fear" compilation?

It seems to have escaped your notice that May has triggered Article 50; we will be leaving the EU next March.

 

She has also said she will not call a second referendum; so unless she is replaced, come April next year we will be out. Not fully out at first as there will be a transitional period; unless there is no deal at all.

 

She is now attempting to negotiate an exit deal which is in the best interests of the country, You and many other Brexiteers may not agree with her on what is in the best interests of the UK.

 

You may also still believe she could have done better as we have the whip hand. Except we don't; the EU does. They are not obliged to give us a deal at all, let alone the one Brexiteers want; the one where we gain everything but give nothing.

Lie or no; how is that a May lie or that of the Remain campaign?

 

Even if some EU politicians and bureaucrats do want an EU army, creation of such would require the unanimous approval of member states. Of course, Farage wont tell you that bit; he's too busy arranging German passports for himself and his kids.

 

Of course, EU countries have for many years co-operated on defence projects and decision making; we are allies. But that is a world away from an EU army controlled by the EU.

 I expect that it would look very similar to what it does now. A group of nations combined in a free trade area with joint rules governing that free trade and free movement and other issues such as health and safety at work.

 

Had we remained a member, we would have had a say in the making of those rules; if we go for the so called Norway plus option favoured by many Brexiteers we will still have to abide by them, but will have no say in the making of them. Still have to pay into the EU coffers as well, with no say on how the money is spent.

Nazi Germany would have been defeated by the Soviet Union.

 

As British and Commonwealth troops were already winning in North Africa before the US joined, then it is possible that the second front would still have been opened.

 

One can only speculate on how Europe would have looked after that.

Actually it IS all about Brexit and Teresa May.

 

Whilst we Leavers voted to leave, the whole Brexit shambles has been led by Teresa May, a committed Remainer who is doing her best, or worst perhaps to give us a semblance of freedom whilst clinging to the EU apron strings. 

 

IF there was a committed Leaver at the helm from day 1 i assure you it would be a whole lot different.

 

My recollection is that, at the time of the vote, May was considered to be a closet Leaver who was going along with the Cameron narrative to preserve her then status. The reason none of the official Leavers wanted the job was that they realised it was a poisoned chalice,  as they had made no plans for Brexit. May was the sacrificial lamb, left to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

It seems a bit odd to me that no matter how many times Leavers post this leaflet the Remainers deny what it means.

The referendum on Thursday, 23 June is your chance to decide if we should remain in or leave the European Union.

The government believes it is in the best interests of the UK to remain in the EU.

This is the way to protect jobs, provide security, and strengthen the UK’s economy for every family in this country – a clear path into the future, in contrast to the uncertainty of leaving.

 

This is your decision. The government will implement what you decide.

 

I have made it bold and underlined so it should me easy enough, even for teebee and AdamMike to understand.

 

The UK voted to leave the EU yet the government under Teresa May STILL wants to keep us in, thus ignoring the bold and underlined statement.

 

This leaflet was just a piece of Tory propaganda, issued by the then (since superseded) Government. It could be taken with a pinch of salt....only it wasn't. It was like a red rag to a bull for many voters in the deprived areas of the Country, who have never forgiven the Tories for destroying their communities in the 1980s. The Brexit vote was not decided in the UKIP heartlands of Frinton-on-Sea and Skegness, it was in the traditional Labour constituencies (97% of whom had returned Pro-Remain MPs in the General Election one year earlier), whose voters delivered a resounding anti-Tory vote rather than an anti-EU one.

I watched a short programme yesterday on Wales where people were saying the same thing ... it was two fingers to Cameron and Osborne ... and then it discussed the German factory in Swansea that is closing with the loss of 500 jobs.

Perhaps Davis was taken in by the blatant lies of T.May and her fellow remainer and side kick Olly Robbins.

Domanic Rabb then thought, he was taking over the Secretary of State, for Brexit. But again, he soon came to the conclusion that he was being used.

And immediately resigned.

Well then sort of inconvenient that Davis lied that he had prepared an impact document when he had done nothing at all. Zilch for 2 years. Never mind the perhaps this and perhaps that of Brexiteer making it up land.

As for Dominic Raab, another hopeless do nothing well over his head.

The Act of Parliament made no reference to how the result of the referendum would be implemented, and that is why it is considered advisory. It's well known so I was surprised to see your interlocutor bring it up?

Teresa May has never been a bitch of mine. She saw an opportunity and grabbed the poisoned chalice with both hands and proceeded to screw up Brexit from day 1.

But that link clearly states that the leaflet is only advisory - so nothing in it will affect the legal status of the referendum. 

Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe pointing out, as diplomatically as he can, that the UK will miss out on Japanese investment should there be a no deal Brexit.  

 

Another point that remainers have been making since this vote. There is no reason for a non-EU company to set up a European operation in the UK anymore, as they will no longer have unfettered access to the EU. The Chinese were being courted by George Osborne for that very same reason, many of them choose English as their preferred foreign language ... all that will go somewhere else now. Over time we'll see them all reduce their investment and redirect their production somewhere else.
