Simply a bit of reality breaking through all the layers of denial.

Go on Chomps give me a giggle. Please tell me what I am denying.

[Loiner]

Imagine sitting in a bar or restaurant what the other Europeans will be saying or thinking about them.

Sorry Hyacinth, does the whole idea make your curtains twitch?
Nobody cares about what any Europeans think, about anything, whether it’s politics or choice in bar or restaurant. I hope your Remainerism is not just for the sake of Keeping Up Appearances.

If by that you mean my ignore list, I don't have one; I am not afraid of reading what people may say to or about me.

 

But didn't you say I was going onto yours some time back?

No; I only suggested you place me on yours but regrettably you lacked sufficient character to keep to it as foreseen at the time.

I generally give you a wide berth but you're far too entertaining to go on an iggy list.

Jumping to conclusions, show me where there was a differentiation. Discontent is global not a brexit issue, the vote was merely an opportunity to express the discontent. Unfortunately austerity had been portrayed as being the result of too many "foreigners" draining the resources etc etc, rather than inadequate government funding. Very easy to just blame the EU.

Don't you think that with so much money being spent by the government that some may have woken up to reality. The real fear behind another vote, Theresa May has no problem asking the same question again and again.

Of course, it's impossible to prove to what extent Brexit voters were motivated by discontentment with our political system. But one would have to be blind, deaf and arguably rather dumb, to deny it played a part in the proceedings.

 

To be honest, I find your views on austerity in the UK confusing. The root causes are many and certainly include the costs associated with large-scale immigration and the related effects of the EU's open borders policy.

 

Likewise, I am finding it difficult to square you reference to "inadequate Government funding", with your comment in the following paragraph about "so much money being spent by the government".

 

In my view, Theresa May's insistence in constantly regurgitating her egregious withdrawal deal is because effectively it would keep us tied to the EU - which, as a Remain wolf in Leave clothing, is her instinctive preference.

This is such a cliched response.

An opinion is a side of an argument or viewpoint based on rational and critical thought and evidence..... Racism is no such thing and you are certainly not ENTITLED to anything that's just a regurgitated soundbite for those who can't or won't. think.

You could always just put me on your ignore list..but please define " racist " firstly.
If the wife and myself dine out..I really couldn't care less about the nationality of the other diners.
I " call it as I see it "..a spade's a spade to me, as one who lives in the REAL world..not the oh so luvly pc world.

If you sit in bars worrying about what other people may be saying about you , you are either way too sensitive or paranoid

It looked to me as though he was commenting on the state of those two economies rather than the people. (I don't actually know the state of them).

 

But when you see the opportunity, scream "racism" and point the finger, job done.

Who put you in charge of deciding who should put whom on their ignore list?

 

What do you mean by 'sufficent character?'

 

I didn't 'keep to it' because I have never placed you, nor anyone else, on my ignore list for the reasons already given.

That is up to you.

 

But what is very noticable is that you and you fellows have a habit of dodging questions, answering the one you wanted to be asked rather than the one which was asked and, if pushed, resorting to pathetic insults.

 

Your post is a prime example of this; being not the moral and intelectually superior remarks you obvioulsy imagine them to be, but merely yet another example of the latter.

 

As I have asked before, why can none of you give a staight answer to a straight question?

 

The answer, I think, is obvious.

Wow, supurb negotiating skills here. NOT!!!!

 

Trade deals with Fiji AND Papua New Guinea. Not even a quid pro quo. Their products enter the UK tariff free, they keep theirs but ‘commit’ to bring theirs down over time, but only on 80% of products from the UK.

 

Can’t even get balanced trade deals with these minnows!

Yes, these are the easy deals promised. Easy because they don’t have any substantial content, therefore didn’t require any sort of serious negotiation. 

And the cant ‘keep’ their tariffs because that would put the UK in a position to apply their lower/zero tariffs to all WTO Members. A trade agreement must be reciprocal or the WTO’s MFN-clause would apply.

It isn't cancelled just yet. As usual the MP's are trying their best to cancel it but unless your a time traveler it is still on. So as they say.

Except, of course, you did!

 

Now, instead of yet another supercilious reply, how about you having a stab at the question all but one of your fellow Brexiteers have refused to answer.

 

What specifics in May's deal do you disagree with, and with what would you replace them?

Super Canada was looking good until I realised O(i)lly Robins had undermined Davis at Mays behest; Couple that with the likes of B-liar, Major, Grieve/Cooper/Bercow etc and you'll realise why I for one flatly refuse to subscribe to anything presented by May as she frankly cannot be trusted. I'd much rather see a clean break and a new team (GE?) getting on with it afterwards.

I have leaned in their direction throughout my adult life but the further they are (in time) from Thatcher the more woeful the Tories have become.
