Popular Post oldhippy Posted September 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2019 Oh please. Let's stop talking about the benefits / disadvantages of brexit for the economy. They are not relevant for the discussion. Brexit has nothing to do with economics. Brexit is about a very white UK, as it existed once upon a time - it died together with the dinosaurs (ok ok, I admit there are some dinosaurs left in these brexit threads). 5 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JamesBlond Posted September 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2019 51 minutes ago, johnnybangkok said: We have asked Leavers about the benefits many, many times. It's got something to do with getting back the sovereignty we never lost; not cowtowing to a 'Federalist Super State' (despite said superstate working very well for the man on the street) and of course their old favourite of taking charge of our borders even though we've always been in charge of them. That's about it. Blinkered and short-sighted. I wonder what 'man on the street' you are talking about? Presumably an immigrant as only they could benefit from the bleeding heart-leftist-inclusivist social policies that have been quietly herding them in. Personally I don't even want to go back to Britain even for a visit - it's no longer Britain - I don't know what it is, some kind of cultural experiment gone badly wrong. And it's not just Britain, look at the mess that Europe has made of itself ? Now the far right are on the rise - quite predictably - as a result. The whole mad experiment needs to be stopped.

Popular Post brewsterbudgen Posted September 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2019 The people appoint (elect) parliament. The two main parties in this parliament both stood on manifestoes to honour the results of the 2016 referendum, and to take the UK out of the EU. In 2016, and in the 2017 election, the people voted to leave the EU. As manifesto betrayals go, this is about as egregious as they get!Nobody voted to leave without a deal. Why do Leavers seem to think time stands still. Move on, please.Sent from my SM-G930F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no deal, businesses would not know whether or when there would ever be any sort of preferential trading arrangement going beyond WTO commitments with the EU. The EU have repeatedly said if the UK is not prepared to accept any of the obligations of Single Market and Customs Union membership, then it can't expect to continue trading on similar terms to those enjoyed by members. After exit, even the opening of any trade negotiation requires unanimity amongst the 27 members. On ‘mini deals' the legislation the 27 put in place to govern economic relations with the UK after a no deal exit, there has been no consultation with the UK, let alone negotiations. EU regulators across many sectors will press firms after a ‘no deal’ to comply with their requirements about location and ownership. No trade deal with the USA, China and India will ever be agreed without delivering major economic dividends for them. Much more of our trade is with Europe – notably in services, in which the UK is highly competitive and all cross-border trade liberalisation is immensely difficult, precisely because it inevitably impinges heavily on domestic regulatory sovereignty. What terms will they offer to a country that has just left the bloc? We export more services to the EU than to our next eight markets put together. Any ‘no deal’ exit will force us to negotiate from a position of complete vulnerability. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No strong drink should be permitted anywhere near the HoP let alone tax payer funded subsidised bars! It was just a few years back that investigators found traces of cocaine in all the toilets of the Parliamentary buildings yet that was soon covered up and swept under the carpet. Little wonder there is concern about alcohol and cocaine addiction among the middle classes. Our politicians are probably the ones that set the trend. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Britain is actually an Island, as it name suggests it's the largest of the British Isles... Great Britain is an island in the North Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of continental Europe. With an area of 209,331 km2 (80,823 sq mi), it is the largest of the British Isles, the largest European island, and the ninth-largest island in the world.[6][note 1] In 2011, Great Britain had a population of about 61 million people, making it the world's third-most populous island after Java in Indonesia and Honshu in Japan.[8][9] The island of Ireland is situated to the west of Great Britain, and together these islands, along with over 1,000 smaller surrounding islands, form the British Isles archipelago.[10] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Britain ... but is also a Political term used to describe the Union of England, Scotland & Wales... So if Scottish Independence happens, then Scotland would leave Great Britain (The Political Term) but still be part of Great Britain (The Island) ????

First off, the Euro came after there were common policies. Krugman has always been critical of the Euro as have most American economists. Krugman's thoughts on the EU mirror mine and many other remainers. No one wanted the Euro and we didn't get it. Same with the Shengen agreement. Same with Thatcher's hard fought for rebate.. Same with taking a percentage of Merkel's 2m refugees. There are many examples of us kicking back against the EU and UK winning the day. Slaves to the EU oligarchs? Never have been, never will be. All a Brexiteer fantasy/ Cummings lie. We're Brits for crying out loud, we should be staying and fighting to retain our rightful place near the top of the largest trading block in the world. Not running and hiding like a scolded dog, hiding in a corner until we starve and die. Remainers, the true Brits, are fighting back, unlike the spineless Brexiteer surrender monkeys. Bunch of limp wristed toffs. "Once more unto the breach my friends I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start. The game's afoot: Follow your spirit, and upon this charge Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!' Come on lads, time to put some cold steel into those spineless, Eton Toff Brexiteers.

How from my post did you ascertain that I am "guessing, the UK is strong enough to retain our United Kingdom "???? I am not guessing anything, this is what is being reported. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/sep/03/sturgeon-seek-legal-powers-hold-new-scottish-independence-referendum https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/jul/31/sinn-fein-border-poll-ireland-unity-must-follow-no-deal-brexit Hopefully none of that will happen, but reporting seems to indicate that there is a good chance that it will. As an American , I have the advantage of being able to look at this from the outside and see the forest rather than the trees, and from my perspective it does not look good, but have the disadvantage of not organically through natural osmosis feeling the thing so I could be wrong and could be missing a crucial factor. I happen to like and enjoy my British friends on both sides of this issue and hope I am wrong. I will tell you this. while listening to Bloomberg Financial news a currencies expert was being interviewed concerning the latest devaluation of sterling. He was asked if at this low price if it was time to buy, his reply "No, it has not hit bottom yet" and I paraphrase "the price sterling enjoyed was do to valuations reflecting UK's relation to the EU, and UK cohesion, both of these are now an open question " I sincerely, (really mean it) wish you all the best luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
