So what has the EU done to "the EU would do everything they could to punish the UK, and not respect the essence / terms of the WA, thereby rendering it null and void?" If Johnson had the foresight to predict all this, why did he sign it? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brexiteers pointing out the benefits of Brexit on a daily basis?

I specifically asked to be convinced so I could get behind it. Something Brexiteers seem unable or unwilling to do. You are calling for Remainers to back Brexit but failing to bring an argument for why we should. Your posts go over most peoples heads,you ask for explanations then when the person gives you one you,re intellectually incapable of addressing it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch whisky does not have the 'e;' even if distilled outside Scotland. Irish whiskey and all other whiskies do. It was a bottle the song wtiter had bought on a trip to scotland and when he returned to ireland he decanted it into a jar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the 'closing my eyes and wishing really hard for something' approach on the morning after the referendum. It didn't work then, and I don't hold out much hope that it will now. Anyone got any evidence whos going to win the 3.30 at aydock park tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nag's Head has won its' last 3 races at Haydock over the same distance. Pony's Tail has failed to finish in its' last 3 races. I reckon that Nag's Head has a better chance of winning than Pony's Tail. Does this mean that Nag's Head will win and that Pony's Tail won't. No, but a day away from the race I'd say that Nag's Head's got a better chance. Why don't you have a go at constructing a meaningful argument in support of 'No deal' rather than going off at a tangent? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, of course, in your prejudiced and depressing eyes, it will all be the fault of Brexit which, by the way, doesn't take full effect until 31/12/20. The corona pandemic is bad enough but you guys have lumped Brexit on top of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You answered your own question re flippant manner,the pending s**t storm is going to dwarf brexit,what gets my goat is the remainers who since the peoples vote have tried none stop to derail brexit weakening the uks bargaining position.if you think brexit is going to be such a disaster why stay on a sinking ship?and as for my comments about a financial storm,believe me i hope i,m wrong too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget, though, that Johnson now wants to tear up his WA upon which the Tories based their whole campaign! 2. Yes; Labour lost many seats with a fall in their share of the vote of 7.8%. 3.) No. Even though the LibDems lost one seat, they did increased their share of the vote by 4.2%, the largest increase of any party. Hardly a humiliation. I've answered your questions; will you now answer mine? Surely if what you say is true, the Tory share should have gone up by roughly the same amount as Labour's went down? Have you any explanation as to why it didn't? I suspect, though, that you will continue to ignore them. You demand answers from others, but refuse to give them yourself. 3. The spokesperson and leader of the Lib Dems that promised YOU the UK will stay in the EU was chucked out. So what message did that tell remainers....? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in a Langkawi duty free I saw several brands of Japanese whisky, yes I have spelt it correctly. The UK cannot stop it being named as such, only stop it being sold in the UK. I have to say the price tag alone would deter most would be purchasers.
