30 bob was worth 75 baht the day before Brexit, now it's less than 60.

Ivor, we're talking about bob our old mate from way back. remember, 10 bob notes and all that? You could do a lot with 10 bob back then. Buy the latest single by The Beatles/ Stones/Who for 7/6 and still have half a crown for some very nice chocolate or a packet of fags if you wuz a naughty lad.

My point is bob is, or rather was, English, nuffin to do with other countries. Shame he's expired, I miss him sometimes.

Try saying that to all the 'just in time' refrigerated truck owners and drivers queued up in the lorry parks waiting to pass customs.

I don't need to tell them, they already know that they have up to 17 days of refrigerant available. Or just ship from New Zealand instead, refrigerated for 39 days.

And you are still incapable of explaining why this is a good thing for the UK! Still incapable of giving even one single benefit Brexit will bring to the UK!

 

You are also ignoring the 53% (probably more now) of voters who said last December that want a say on the final deal. How is that democracy being seen to be done?

 

Like all Brexiteers, you only like democracy when you agree with the majority!

I'm quite capable of it, just not going to waste my time explaining to you and your entrenched position.

Also not going to join your "changed their mind" nonsense either. Their one democratic chance was on 23rd June 2016. You don't get a say on the final deal, or an opportunity for more tricks.

Yes, and like all Remainers, you try to overturn democracy when you don't agree with the majority.

The more the government talks of economic benefits, the more apparent it becomes that these opportunities are conceptual while the disadvantages are all too apparent. The economic case for Brexit was tacked on relatively late to counter the arguments of the Remain side. It did the job but its hollowness is now being exposed. Britain is about to discover the hard way that while Leavers were sincere in many of their political beliefs about Brexit, their economic arguments were, and are still, a costly and damaging sham.

Absolutely. That's the trouble with perennial losers. They never won, so they never know how little the winners care about their stale whinging 4 years later.

 

They don't admit that if they had won they'd be laughing at us as we now laugh at them. 

 

They don't realise the lols I feel every time we hear the stale old arguments trying to argue why a democratic vote doesn't count, this time.

 Two parts of that prove you have no idea what you are talking about.

 

"You all seem to think that there is one veto to fit all - there isn't."  and "As I explained in another post there have numerous vetoes for different purposes."

 

Yes, there are various variations on vetoes, who can use one and for what purpose. But all vetoes are the power to to unilaterally stop an official action, especially the enactment of legislation. In the EU, vetoes are absolute which means in those policy areas unanimity is always required. 

 

For the more common examples see. Unanimity.

 

I have no idea how 'Ted Heath' serves as evidence to support the statement "The lies and myths about EEC/EU treaties involving the UK started 50 years ago." He may have been PM when we joined, but Wilson was PM in 1975. I'd ask you for some real examples, but I know you can't.

Unlike the bus, these ads do not contain any outright lies. But were you able to see them you would know they don't contain anything of substance, either.

 

In what way is Cummings playing a blinder? The whole reason for this thread, and others, is that the EU are walking all over him! He wants May MkII, but the EU wont give it to him.
