Tsot tsot! Brexiteers are not traitors!

 

Brexiteers were misinformed and misabused individuals who wanted to gain power so much that they didn't care of any bridges they burned. Brexiteers were led by donkeys, whose aims were not aligned with the common folk brexiteers. Unfortunately, due their rage, brexiteers failed to see that they were abused for more sinister scheme. 

 

So Brexiteers are not traitors. Brexiteers are just silly uneducated, stupid folks, who were so easily moved by a manipulator like Nigel Farage. Nigel, who got bankrolled by a wealthy businessman, who doesn't give a cluster of the common people. 

 

All Hail for Farage!

That story is unfortunately behind paywall. I can see only the intro. Can you give us the main points of the article.

Basically saying over simplification of those behind Brexit claiming HMG will no longer be beholden by EU regulations for trade. The article claims HMG will have no choice but to keep inline with EU regs on trade matters, otherwise will be very costly in terms of lost opportunity.

My guess is that while current UK government is playing nationalistic hardball towards EU, there is not going to be any significant trade deal between the two parties. UK will be left alone.

 

Japanese car manufacturers will keep on producing cars for Australian market. They don't need a middle man England, to route all the hardware via UK. 

 

That gives good opportunities to Australia as UK will be on her knees, begging for trade deals to show the people, that 'UK still got it'. This is all good news for Australia.

 

But the question still remains, what can UK gain for her own prosperity? What can UK gain for the prosperity of her subjects?

 

Not sure, can I have a guess too?

Oh, go for it! It would be really nice to hear solutions coming from the Bosses who rule the UK at the moment. 

 

So, go for it. Let us all know your comprehensive plans.

They haven't existed for almost a fortnight & the Hard Rejoiners vying to replace them (along with the odd 3rd party non-entity with no irons in the fire either way) have yet to come up with anything in reply except noise! ????

Are you seriously suggesting Scotland and England will stop trading with each other after independence?

Seriously?

You very might stop buying Scottish produce because you sound the kind who would have a hissy fit over it but most people in England will still want the stuff they get from Scotland.

Face facts. We are leaving. You and the rest of the guys down at Wetherspoons will just need to lump it. 

If you dont want to buy our stuff we wont miss you.

We might switch off the electricity though.

No, I'm not suggesting Scotland and England will stop trading with each other. What magic did you use to conjure up this silly question?

 

But if we don't buy Scottish stuff you lose 60% of your exports, which you would miss and hiss about.

He is probably seriously suggesting just that as it goes along with the plan that England is sovereign nation, which does not need anyone else. 

 

That's the real bossman talk at the Wetherspoons. 

 

We can now simply enjoy and watch how the brexit bossmen are going to make UK great again.

Is this a sister act?

Just now, TheDark said:

Nah. It's only wannabe bully talk by folks who are less than bullies themselves.

 

 

Ah! So you are bullies but not sisters then.

So you are saying England and Scotland will carry on trading with each other even after independence then?

But at the same time you are saying if we stop buying your stuff you are screwed?

 

I know Brexiteers love a scatter gun approach to posting but thats just all over the place.

 

Which one is it?

Start with Marmite then the Aussies wouldn't have to eat that Vegemite sh!t.

Vegemite is so much better than that Marmite sh!t. I don't know why British people pretend to like it.

It's like the BBC, and the NHS we all know they're  not that good, but people cling on like they matter.

I thought you were the one saying that the English will no longer be able to buy your whisky and haggis if Scotland went independent? And you were threatening (on behalf of Scotland) to cut off our electricity? ????

In this imaginary referendum, will it be 50.01% for a majority or 66.7%? for a supermajority?

I'm guessing you're one of "the 48%", so will you be applying Remainer mathematics to this conundrum?

The Asian car manufacturers are dominating the Australian market. Toyota,Mazda and Huyndai take more than a third of the new car sales. Heaps of cars are imported from Thailand, we have a FTA with them. It doesn't make much sense for the multinationals to import UK made cars into Australia, unless they somehow manage to produce them cheaper there.

 

Interesting to see that the Chinese owned and built MG lifted their sales with 176%, in overall gloomy market.

I tried Vegemite once as it was obviously cheaper than Marmite, but it clearly lacked the subtle tang and edgy hint of spice that Marmite is well known for.

I love Aussies, but as they have butchered the English language with their insistence on ending every word in y or ie- brekkie, prezzie for example, so their attempt to emulate the iconic Marmite has resulted in a loss of subtlety and refinery. Is it called 'veggie' down under?
