Orac Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Not sure it is oldhippy. My FIL is a bricklayer and speaks like a modern person. Kingdong seems to be putting his money where his mouth is and chanelling the 1600's. Could be some work heading your FILs way soon if he plays his cards right. I hear that BoJo’s next negotiating tactic to get a deal after this ‘why have one border when we can have two’ to facilitate frictionless trade seems to have fallen flat on its face is to propose a wall and Ireland are going to pay for it.

Sent from my iPad using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Thanks for that Orac. As far as I can tell, despite the naysaying of our leaver friends, he is up to his nuts in work and has been for years. Only if he is rained-off or falling out with the site foreman does he not graft day after day for several hundred quid. He has no complaint about workers from the EU however, apart from the slight garlicly smell hoho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhippy Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I hereby promise that no racist or leaver will ever troll me again into using the word "bricklayer". I will from now on use the word "lumpenproletariaat", an expression that goes back some 200 years, and is well documented. With apologies to Slip's father in law, but not to the trolls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The campaigners have asked the court of session in Edinburgh to issue an injunction, or interdict, which would force the prime minister to ask the EU for an extension to article 50 if he fails to get a new deal passed at Westminster by 19 October.

As then I would only be even an improved (100%) confirmation of that ...???? I think you are under the conservatives conference " pep talk " Audio cocaine it seems it was Back in 2015 ALL those eligible to vote were given the opportunity to do so There will always be people who are ineligible to vote, mainly those who are not old enough, unless you want to bring the voting age down to what? Next of those who were eligible to vote were given the opportunity to do so. Those who voted to leave outnumbered those who wished to remain. The other section who were eligible to vote but did not for whatever reason did not have a vote registered which can be called what you wish but not voting their votes did not count and were not recorded other than to keep the figures correct. So if I voted and you voted the opposite, 2 votes are recorded. If I voted and you didn't only one vote is recorded. Why people didn't vote was up to them but not voting means the vote was lost, to both sides. If you cannot understand this then there is little hope for you. There is a way around this which is to make voting compulsory. Only 22 countries do this but only 11 countries enforce it. That way I can agree with you, but if it is NOT compulsory and people cannot be bothered to vote then tough. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_voting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_voting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the abolishment of regulations will also mean that the British can eat Genuine Parma Ham from Yorkshire, or drink Trappist brewed in Northern Ireland by a protestant brewery.

Well in 1975 when I voted to stay in the EEC I was only 31 and I thought it was a great idea, so I signed up. I have spent 41 years paying for that mistake and at this point I am worse off. Leave or Remain? May's deal or Boris's deal? Deal or no deal? At this point in time the UK seems to be in limbo land. Some want to leave, deal or no deal. Some want to Remain. Some want to scrap Brexit and revoke Article 50. IMHO I don't think anybody really knows what is going on but I suspect that the majority of voters want Brexit finished with one way or another. I am sure that every day I log on to TVF there is yet another Brexit thread.
