Well, thank you for being candid. I didn't mention Labour, although they do have a history of being sympathetic towards non-British interests ... As I alluded to before, your comments regarding the pound seemed to be those of a man who actively disliked his own country, but perhaps that isn't so. Perhaps you could try to sound a little less pleased that Britain is doing so badly ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should they be concerned about the exchange rate ? true! a hard core Brexiteer does not consume any imported stuff. he lives on fish&chips taken with a pint of "ail". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point exactly. Some people have crossed that line already. They are so desperate to "ridicule stubborn Brexiteers" that they will happily ridicule their own country. They don't even know that they are doing it. Lenin called them "useful idiots". Quote A useful idiot is someone who supports one side of an ideological debate, but who is manipulated and held in contempt by the leaders of their faction or is unaware of the ultimate agenda driving the ideology to which they subscribe. The term originated in early 1950s America in reference to members of the Socialist Party, allegedly promoted by the malevolent KGB to weaken America as a nation.The closely related term fellow traveller refers to one who sympathizes with and is willing to support the publicly stated goals of the Party, while not being a dues-paying, card-carrying member. The origin of the phrase has often been attributed to Vladimir Lenin https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Useful_idiot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nauseus Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 5 hours ago, JamJar said: It's present position was caused by the Brexiteers. Mainly because most of them don't have a brain betwixt them. None of them have a clue as to what it likely to happen if we crash out of the EU without a deal. The bleat on about EU regulations, without understanding that it brings us a lot of protections against predators. Trump, for instance, is a predator. He will insist on us taking their sub-standard products in exchange for any kind of deal. You can see how he behaves when he thinks he has any kind of leverage. Much harder to behave in such a way against a European bloc. They can simply refuse to take the substandard products, ignoring Trump's cries of protectionism. Against the U.K alone, he will most definitely insist that we accept these products or he will threaten with tariffs. So many of the protections we have will simply disappear, because of the need to do a deal. The simplistic are won over by nonsense claims of putting more money into the NHS from the money we give to the EU. Ridiculous. The reality is that they are hoping that the EU will blink. Because without a deal, it's not a pretty picture. Another insulting and narrow-minded poster joins the remainer rabble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rees Moggs dad even wrote a book on it called Disaster Capitalism. They intend to destroy the UK economy to make themselves richer and all the turkeys voted for christmas to come early. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they would congratulate you for your clever predictions? Or maybe they would wonder why you took so much pleasure in rubbishing your own country. I don't think those old soldiers would share in your glee at Britain's problems. Brexiteers and Remainers alike want to see Britain recover from its present position. Do you? Or are you enjoying gloating too much? The people who rubbished their own country voted for BREXIT ... what happened to all those sunny uplands we were going to? And it it looks like some of the predictions, that you lot called project fear, are coming to fruition. And bear in mind we have not left the EU yet ... a no deal will slam GBP even further ... so reap what you sowed. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
