But yes lots of porkies from both sides during the campaign. One sides ‘porkies’ are damaging the economy, and it’s not ‘Remain’s’. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are the one complaining about getting the wrong version of Brexit. Oh, Brexit is complicated. Who'd have thought that? 7 minutes ago, nauseus said: Agree - the EU were horribly beastly.

nauseus Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 1 minute ago, RayC said: I disagree entirely. The UK is a parliamentary democracy. We elect politicians to take decisions on our behalf for the good of the nation. The fact that the current batch - with a few exceptions - appear to be pretty poor doesn't mean that the whole system should be consigned to the bin. There is also a more practical objective. I don't think that the UK public has the desire to be consulted on a more regular basis: Look at the turnout for the referendum on PR: 19% if I remember correctly? Do we really want decisions taken by less than 1 in 5 of the electorate. Yes Ray, I know that you disagree. And I know that you know that I disagree with you. Got a virtual golf torny.

It's hardly adding to the conversation and just encourages the wrong idea of winners and losers. You may have 'won' the vote, but you 'lose' with the obvious consequences of why Brexit is adding to the UK's woes (and yes we know it's not the only reason, but it's certainly a major contributory factor). Just another so what, get on with it UK is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come Brexit gets to be permanent? I don't consider anything that is negative. UK out and i have posted many times in other threads on the subject UK should not have joined in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most Brexiteers would welcome a sensible arrangement between European nations. Hello Nauseus, Hope that you are well? Echo here. Well, the UK has reclaimed its' 3% of sovereignty from the EU (which the financial markets relieved us of in the blink of an eye). Ho hum. Enjoy the virtual golf tournament.

Here in the U.K , everyone seems to just be getting on with it and have moved on and I haven't yet heard anyone mention Brexit or its effects. Could be that Brits living in Thailand had thoughts about moving to Spain or somewhere in the E.U and want the UK to re-join the E.U so they can get a visa* for Spain ? * I know 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
