I think this simply comes down to how much confidence and belief you have in the country and how much you don't. UK is not in the mess it is in because people voted to leave. The politicians were the ones who decided that they would turn the decision over to the people. The politicians should have prepared for the vote going either way. They didn't. They prepared only for the vote going the way they wanted it to. It didn't, and ever since, they, or at least most of them, have been trying to find ways of getting out of following through on what they promised, cheered on and encouraged by remainers in the media and in the public, like you. Remainers have been behind this mess from start to finish. Again, everything wrong in the Brexiteer’s world is the fault of someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loiner Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Again, everything wrong in the Brexiteer’s world is the fault of someone else.And for Remainers it’s the fault of Brexiteers for deigning to vote Leave. Why can you not see that the current problems are caused by our politicians and civil servants for not respecting the referendum result and proceeding to an orderly Brexit? For the most part they, with the combined Remain lobby and EU, have concentrated on subversion instead of getting on with the real job in hand. You’ve all wasted three years, while we slip nicely into a No Deal exit. Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know when people EXPORT goods that they don’t need to be inspected by customs on the way out from the EU (or anywhere else). And for someone who has just accused me of being some sort of heartless corporate so and so, your proposal to allow companies to ‘self regulate’ on payment custom duties comes right out of the playbook of a corporate lobbyist. All your proposal will do is lead to massive smuggling and under reporting. "Boy that is a bit muddled written by someone who knows nothing about economics and trade." Do you personally know the person who wrote that? Know his name, where he lives, his educational level, in fact do you know ANYTHING ABOUT HIM AT.

The Brexit is even written in law and that hasn’t been changed. The leave you voted for has been implemented and will be executed on 29 March, no subversion whatsoever.

Loiner Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Then you would have to blame yourself because you voted those people in. They were voted in on Brexit respecting party manifestoes. They can be voted out again at the next GE. (June according to some rumours, although I think unlikely)We also voted for Boris, Rees-Mogg, Davis, Raab, Redwood, Fox, Hoey(lab) and others. Why does May force them out of, or exclude them from negotiations? So she can surrender with her BRINO.

If they truly are part of the UK in the North then of course there must be a border with the EU, with appropriate controls. The Irish can't have their cake and eat it, it's one or the other. Maybe this is just the right time to finally get real and address the idiotic historic anomaly that is the north and accept the blindingly obvious, that the island of Ireland is indeed just one country. It is actually 4 countries made into 1 by the mainland U.K (The 4 fields) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far be it that they actually follow through on their commitments, but having to fall flat on their faces dealing with the practical reality of how to handle brexit means that its better they sit on the back bench pretending they can do a better job rather than be shown up for being....well, fibbing SOB's.

The subversion is exactly what’s happened over the past two and a half years. Love it that you agree with the now legal situation that we’re out on 29th March, although May’s most recent ‘agreement’ tries to repeal that too. How did we arrive at that legal requirement of 29th March?
