If Brexit is watered down, I believe it will be your children/grandchildren who will suffer,due to you selfish Remoaners,putting the interest of yourselves before future generations. But let's Waite and see,so far nothing has been decided. Terry? I'd rather not wait and see thank you very much- rather like being on a beach knowing the big wave is coming.

Flustered Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 What is comical about all of this (yes, comical) is that had the remoaners pulled together with the Brexiteers accepting that Brexit is a done thing, them our stance in negotiations would have been strengthened immeasurably. However, their negative, toys out of the pram, scorched earth policy is what will cause hardship (if any) for us so they only have themselves to blame. Me? couldn't give a fig. We are out and that means OUT, no more Brussels bureaucracy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to suggest otherwise is pure distraction. The current situation is that since both Eire and the UK are in the EU the border is open. The open border makes NI/united Ireland issues go away not permanently but at least into the long grass. Withdrawal from the EU Hard Brexit style brings them back together with new border arrangements. This is the situation which neither the DUP or Sinn Fein are keen to revisit right now. One other issue which the DUP are more than likely to bring up with Government negotiators is the right to march up and down in the August marching season. Keep your eyes on the negotiations not being set in stone until after the forthcoming August schedule. Who mentioned putting it back? My 'seamless' was supposed to be taken as there won't be one! The island of Ireland will unite several decades from now but I guess that's a different thread... Edited June 21, 2017 by evadgib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you expect support from remainers, when it is obvious the PM is seeking a so called hard Brexit? And, as we know, there really has been no option for a soft Brexit all along, has there? That wasn't on the label! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will only pull together when a cause is noble and right. 'Cutting your nose off': that's rich! Also, the deal you are so sore about missing through remainer obstruction: well, it just never existed did it?

Its never remainer but remoaners, bremoaners or some other such thing while complaining at anything of the sort that is directed at you. For 40 years instead of trying to make a success of the EU all we have had is demands for special treatment, opt outs, concessions and complaints and now you have the nerve that Brexit was won on the narrowest of margins to suggest that we all unite around what many of us consider a journey into the unknown far from your pie in the sky "best of all worlds." or as Ken Clarke put it, down the rabbit hole and expecting to reappear in wonderland. If anybody has cut of their noses to spite their faces it is those who voted Brexit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are out and that means OUT, no more Brussels bureaucracy. Last time I looked we were most definitely in ... and you might want to think a second about why May failed to get her landslide? It might have something to do with not taking into consideration the "whole" nation's concerns and priorities, that would have been a sure fire way of getting the nation behind her ... instead she went with the 17m and effectively told the rest of us to get stuffed. You can't expect the nation to get behind something when no consideration is given to either their concerns or opinions. The only Tory talking sense publicly is Phillip Hammond ... his approach would get my support, but not May's. And if the exit bill is deemed too high and the deal that goes with it is poor you might find that "the people" will get a say on it ... and in 2019 that's a very worrying prospect for the likes of you ... as the support for Brexit will have diminished. No one predicted May's diabolical showing at the general election, so don't be so sure that you are home and dry on Brexit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouse Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I note the Tories ( my iPhone keeps changing it to stories!) are still forging ahead with tax cuts for the wealthy and businesses. No comfort for nurses or the NHS generally. Looks like the 6.5P school breakfast for kids is dead. Too expensive? I didn't know kedgeree was so expensive! Maybe it was kippers? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
