OK I'm not falling into the trap - this was a joke right?- I mean no one could possibly be stupid enough to imagine that the peoples march was made up of continentals. It is well documented that the buses etc, came from all over the UK. But in the same spirit I am looking forward to seeing the Gammons collapsing from exhaustion one by one as they pass Chester Le Street. It may do them a favour as they certainly appear to need the exercise. Few of them are fit (No pun intended) to lick the boots of the real heroes of the Jarrow march. (1936).

From the interviews with remain demonstrators there were a lot of exotic accents - maybe there were all from Jarrow?

Exotic accents must be a pretty scary thing for the average Brexiteer. Did they even look exotic? You better run and call Tommy Racisson.

Why would the "morons" bother to explain to you?

 

So they're not as polite as remainers then?

 

Firstly, your ears are closed. You are blinkered. EU = good. Brexit = bad.

 

Just as all Brexiteers ears are closed and they are blinkered. Brexit=good, EU=bad.

 

Secondly, they were asked whether they wanted to leave or remain in the EU. They replied that they wanted to leave. They don't have to justify their decision to you or anyone.

 

Or themselves as it's pretty impossible to justify. Probably why brexiteers never answer that question, just deflect by attacking remainers when asked the question.

Same old question that has been answered a hundred times - bored!

Less scary than strange and funny. Some of them looked very exotic. Many were complete ranting lunatics.

 

If you mean Robinson he's not in my list. I have the number for the Radisson though.

You're wrong, I do get it. Yes we have representation in these EU bodies, but that is not the same as having full control over spending our money. Do you get it? 

Over 99% of their GDP the UK has full control. The net contribution of the UK into the EU pot is less than 1% of the UK GDP.

I've snipped parts of all the quoted posts as I'm only responding to "So they're not as polite as remainers then?".

Not a primary concern but even this was liable to rise soon. 

Farage makes some good points here, particularly around the 15 min mark to bring this board back on topic:

I was saying that if "the morons" grouse's words not mine, meaning Brexiteers, wouldn't bother explaining to a remainer why they voted Brexit, that would be impolite. I, a remainer, would always do the curtesy of explaining to a brexiteer why I voted remain, if asked.

Yes, and in return for that you get unfettered access to an enormous market right on your doorstep.

I'd say that's a sweet deal, especially considering the fact that those big, beautiful trade deals with other markets just isn't happening.

In fact, by signing new deals with the US, Japan etc you will have been forced into worse deals than before since just about everyone would be able to bend you over a barrel, and that means you've lost independence, not gained it.

Sad.

Your view. Mine is that the main issues were sovereignty plus the prospect of what the EU will become in the future. Anyone that looks back at the evolution of the EU can see the trends.

At least those marching will be from the UK not a group of Europeans on a jolly outing for the peoples march in London.

if farage delays the march 4 or 5 years there will be 25000 extra turkeys to march with him after Nissan moves out,if they go down the A1 they can do a spot of tattie picking training en-route in Lincolnshire ready for filling the gap left by our eastern european friends,

But though the government may save 8 billion, companies and people in the UK end up paying much more than that, just in smaller chunks to you don't see it.

 

After leaving, every export shipment from the UK to the EU will need export paperwork and you'll need to employ customs agents to process it, even if there is zero import tariffs.

 

Every imported vegetable in the supermarket will cost you more because the supermarket has had to pay the importer more to cover their paperwork costs.

Your view again and. as before, all wrong. You don't know my age, my pension expectations, or even if I have a local chippy and I am certainly not paranoid. An EU collapse is certainly a possibility, so the UK would be a lot better out before that happens.

If it went down surely the UK would rise from the ashes it being so resilient as you lot keep telling us.

Despite Project Fear predictions, trade will not stop after Brexit. Trade is made by business and industry, not government. 8 billion per year and increasing, is not a sweet deal at all, for something that will carry on whether we are in or out.

 

Nobody will be over a barrel when we are independence, so long as we can always walk away from any negotiation with No Deal if we want.

Happy.

If you are not British, which is possible, from reading your post. Then I apologize for my comment.

There is nothing to see in how much trade will be affected. Not until we are actually out, because all your forecasts come with a political agenda or experts who don't actually know anything. It's uncharted waters, but it will be up to the government to make the best of it and all the new possibilities.

Extra paperwork? No, probably just the same with some different numbers in the percent box. Employ extra customs agents? Probably not again - it's the same trade as is currently crossing the borders, so the same number of staff. If there was to be some extra employment opportunities, that's not a problem, but according to Remainers' logic trade will collapse and nothing will move, so it could be less customs agents. Which do you prefer?

Imported vegetables will not necessarily cost extra, that really depends on what tariff we put on them. Prices should actually reduce as we buy more from outside the protectionist racket of the EU and it's tariffs on other countries products.

Nontabury…...We will of course live in a democracy when we leave the EU.

Of course, if we stay in we will continue to be in the grip of the Lisbon Treaty (do you remember that one....it was the one Gordon Brown signed without asking us if we approved and you are right, I fear history is repeating itself). As a result we would not be able to make our own trade deals, set our own tariffs, set our own trade quotas, control our fishing rights, not be in full control of our taxation policy, not be in full control of our borders, the judicial  system, international and national policy, aviation and sea lane jurisdiction, etc.

Remainers, of course, would see this as a fair trade off for buying a Japanese car made in the UK. 

 

I gave my reasons for leaving in the above post which I am sure many Leavers would endorse so it gives no credence to your claim we never answer the question.

Firstly, your ears are closed. You are blinkered. EU = good. Brexit = bad.

 

Just as all Brexiteers ears are closed and they are blinkered. Brexit=good, EU=bad.

 

Secondly, they were asked whether they wanted to leave or remain in the EU. They replied that they wanted to leave. They don't have to justify their decision to you or anyone.

 

Or themselves as it's pretty impossible to justify. Probably why brexiteers never answer that question, just deflect by attacking remainers when asked the question.

Perhaps you could now give your reasons why you want to stay in a bureaucratic superstate  which has bailouts in contravention of the Maastricht Treaty, mass youth unemployment, target  2 imbalances, German surplus outside the rules, impending Italian default, low growth, corruption, waste, an internal currency which only truly benefits one country, unaudited accounts, a migrant crisis, transit camps for those migrants with papers at the Austrian border, a member who freeloads on Nato defence, but, against Union rules gets a sweetheart deal on energy which is not available to other members.........…….etc

no deal alone will make imports more expensive as the will drop,then add on the paperwork/extra customs costs,its a no brainer and nothing to do with project fear its basic economics and reality that even the clowns in the BoE can see unlike the dreamer brexiteers.

your dream of a no deal is slim,too many experts,businesses and MPs dont want it,8 billion is a small price to pay considering the damage it would cause,its took 2.5 years to sink in but we are getting there at last,the dream has probably cost the UK more than 8 billion pounds and inflicted 17 million broken hearts on the dreamers,never mind you wont get another chance again at your age.
