so, you decided to run naked down the high street - 49 of your mates say this is a bad idea and you'll get arrested. But one says " na - it will be a laff, do it" 

 

Do you ignore the advice of the 49  because it's just their opinion?

Do stick to the thread topic .

Start a new thread , if you want to discuss running down the street naked

Far better to ask Gypsy Rose at the local fair, to look in her crystal ball, as I’m sure she’ll be more accurate.

I thought Gypsy Rose was running the Liberal Democrats these days - oh sorry, it's Vince Cable. Easily mistaken, making nonsense predictions and so on...

Yeah of course mostly a bunch of ponces.

Better to call them subsidy junkie countries..not ponces[emoji6]

He only said that about if he lost , he didnt say that about if he won 

There's an old story about Farmer Alex who comes to apologize Farmer Bill for his ox having escaped and gored Farmer Bill's horse. Farmer Bill gets very indignant and says an apology isn't enough and heavy fees for damages will be demanded. Then Farmer Alex says he made a small mistake. Actually it was Farmer Bill's ox who gored Farmer Alex's horse. Farmer Bill hems and haws a bit and then says "That's another matter entirely."

I gotta ask you. When you make such comments as yours that I cited above, do you actually read them before you post them? Or are you trying to be a comedy writer? I can see where this conceit could make for a very funny scene.

People run naked down High Streets all the time with impunity. A few chuckles and stares, but so long as there's no coppers about, you go for it girl!
Ignore the wimps.

The Y2K bug was avoided because it was foreseen and hundreds or even thousands of programmers and IT experts avoided...... they were listened to and a disaster was averted. 

Just as small lox was averted because experts were listened to and many other events....they didn't happen because people listened to those warning about them.

Brexit has also been foreseen for three years now and they still have another six months to prepare. Industry, commerce, governments and everybody except rabid Remainers know that and have been making provisions to avoid the mythical Armageddon which didn't transpire after the Leave win either.
Sorry Chicken Licken but the sky is still there and looking good.

Nothing to do with this part of the discussion.

I'd say though if it is this close, ask them to think it over and later ask them again, but make sure the question is clear.

The question was clear.

Brexitears now to want to remain in the EU?  Why? Because Macron has said they must leave! - Daily Mail.

Still not Armageddon or chaos - those are just the usual Remainer propaganda, spin and deception. Where's your usual wailing about empty shelves, no drugs and truckstops? They're not going to happen either.

The toxic legacy of Theresa May, the PM who legitimised no-deal Brexit

History will remember May as both dull and reckless.

Crikey you lot are still at it - this is how Great Britain ends.... fallen on it's own sword half of the population thinking they are fighting the good fight whilst we fade into the ever hotter sunset. Was in Boot's today (200 stores to close soon) watching an entitled working-class disabled pensioner humiliating a young Asian (British) shop assistant who was training on the job and having problems with loyalty points and the advantage card egged on by the other white pensioners behind him. There is a real shortage of shop assistants now in the SE near London as so many EU have left. Was thinking bet he voted Brexit - he left smiling at his 'win' for the day and the old lady in front of me had a go as well saying I've been waiting an hour. I chipped in no you haven't, a few minutes at best and that chap in front was very rude and uncivil with a final,  don't worry luv - not long to go now. She harumphed and hobbled off. Still you Leavers are getting off on the ride of impotence masquerading as self-important power. We're probably much more broken than we know, climate change or no. Time for a bit of Philip Larkin - he would probably have been a Brexiteer miserable sod that he was....

 

And so it stays just on the edge of vision,   
A small unfocused blur, a standing chill   
That slows each impulse down to indecision.   
Most things may never happen: this one will,   
And realisation of it rages out
In furnace-fear when we are caught without   
People or drink. Courage is no good:
It means not scaring others. Being brave   
Lets no one off the grave.
Death is no different whined at than withstood.

 

Slowly light strengthens, and the room takes shape.   
It stands plain as a wardrobe, what we know,   
Have always known, know that we can’t escape,   
Yet can’t accept. One side will have to go.
Meanwhile telephones crouch, getting ready to ring   
In locked-up offices, and all the uncaring
Intricate rented world begins to rouse.
The sky is white as clay, with no sun.
Work has to be done.
Postmen like doctors go from house to house.

Not Armageddon or chaos. Our GBPeso is worth next to nothing, families are falling out with each other over the issue, society in general is angry with one another...

Where do we go from here and how do we repair the damage?

Why would people in in the UK be concerned about the exchange rate of the GBP ?

Holidays a bit more expensive then go to Turkey , where the Pound has gained in value by 30 %

quite a lot of useful things like raw materials, food and petrol are imported - they will all cost more

As someone who is actually living in the U.K. I have to say, I’ve not seen much evidence of price increases. Though I think it would be a health benefit is food were to be more expensive here.

Same argument that you couldn't debunk yesterday. We've all had three years to make preparations for Brexit and make it a success for the UK. Do we have to repeat it everytime your selective amnesia kicks in?

 You're still stuck in the three year old forecasts of "We're all doomed." which were proved wrong right after the referendum result. Have you forgotten those too?

Brexiteers appears to be in total denial.....not only do they think it "isn't gonna happen" they can't see that it IS actually happening....

One section of society is angry at the minority section who have no values or beliefs in upholding a democratic vote. If people had come together after the referendum and respected the vote of the majority in the country there would be very little division.

 

M"So Britain is becoming a country where we: -Prosecute dissidents for political opinions -Overturn democractic elections -Raid political parties' offices 2 days before an election You can see why remainers love the anti-democratic EU so much."

To be clear the majority of the electorate in the UK did not vote to leave the EU, approx 37% did,  so by leaving you'd be respecting the majority of the people who voted in the referendum BUT you would not be respecting the approx 63% of the electorate who did not vote to leave.

If 52% of the passengers on a plane vote to replace the pilot with a chimp, I have a feeling that the other 48% will not just sit there quietly and accept their will.

"If people had come together after the referendum and respected the vote of the majority in the country there would be very little division."

The people did not come together after the referendum - If wishes were fishes, the world would be an ocean. It is pointless using counterfactual arguments.

I just cannot understand how remainers have to come out with rediculous analogies to justify their attempt to overturn democracy. The 52% see it as replacing a chimp with a pilot.
