Can't be right, brexiteers tell us 17 million decided the strategy. After all if OUT is OUT where does strategy come into it.

Another dozy comment. 17 million voted to get out, that's all.

Simple answer, I don't want one. If the referendum result had gone the other way I would bet pound to a pinch of sugar you wouldn't be shouting 'I want another referendum.'

Takes us back to Nigel who said in an interview that if the result of the referendum is "anything less than a 60-40 vote to remain that will be unfinished business" and so it is.

No problem being on the losing side because I am on the right side.

 

Seriously, it was a bloody stupid idea to not state either a super majority or a majority of the electorate as being the requirement for constitutional change.

What a coincidence, my next door neighbour Eric said he'll settle for 52 -48%

It's only a "stupid idea" because you don't like it.

I will continue to lobby MPs and also point out the idiocy of Brexit whenever and Wherever possible.

 

Did you hear Gove trying to defend the indefensible on Radio 4 this morning? Followed by that DREADFUL DUP bitch? My god, get rid of NI!

No, it is an intrinsically and demonstrably stupid Idea ?

They said that about the first car, airplane, and tons of other things.

My dear old father said the same when I bought my first house.   

Brexit can be an opportunity from a crisis...as the Chinese say.

Dont you ever get sick of going on and on and on and on , we are leaving the E.U get over it .

Are you trying to say that Grouse should shut his mouth because you vile Russian bloggers are saying him to do so? I don't think it will happen due Russian troll interaction. I surely hope no person with right mind would care what the Russian trolls think about.

It looks to me like the UK is leaving just in time:

Eurozone Data Point to Strengthening Recovery

The eurozone economy appears to have gained fresh momentum as 2017 draws to a close, led by a revival in France.

The fresh acceleration bodes well for next year, and suggests the $10 trillion economy may again partner the U.S. in supporting a stronger global expansion.

 

Data firm IHS Markit on Thursday said its composite Purchasing Managers Index for the eurozone—based on survey responses from 5,000 manufacturers and service providers—rose to 57.5 in November from 56.0 in October, reaching its highest level in more than 6½ years. A reading above 50.0 signals an expansion in activity.

Was there awareness of the danger before Brexit?

What is keeping us burning, and in fact hanging, these individuals who are among us with the aim to destroy us?

 

Why we should be waiting for our homes to be destroyed by these people?

 

These are the Liberal questions. The question we snowflakes think about. 

Once we figure out answers to these questions, we are more free.

Not editing this one. Sometimes the wasted person should have voice to say what it thinks.

Quite, without any thought whatsover on how that would be achieved and the consequences.

Arlene Foster is probably quite right, NI voted to remain so why shouldn't the Irish government look for reunification but that and all the other problems are irrelevant to those that just want out.

As said 17 million voted without thought far less a strategy.

Indeed but I don't think it's linear. Where there is risk the opportunity needs to be substantially greater. I'm not going to risk losing one pound for the chance to make one pound! Make the upside five pounds and I'll think about it!

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit as said by those incapable of its proper application and who as a result  suffer from it a lot.  :smile:

I really think you need to understand the difference between long and short odds.  A little probability theory wouldn't go amiss either  How is your business doing?

Which one? I have six.

 

It's not a question of probabilities; game theory is more appropriate

A touch of reality.

 

"Irish foreign minister Simon Coveney said on Friday it was difficult to see how border checks could be avoided if the UK quit the EU’s customs union and single market, leading to “regulatory divergence” between the North and the Republic."

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-latest-news-theresa-may-eu-talks-10-days-improve-offer-deadline-date-a8074791.html

 

And a touch of fantasy.

 

"A No 10 spokesman told reporters on Friday that the UK continued to look for “an innovative way forward” on the issue."

Of course there is no possibility that some may have realised a lot earlier than others.

 

"After speaking to the judge, Irish officials recorded: “This process is going to go on for some time and . . . his hope was that it would gradually dawn on people what leaving actually entailed, that there might be a slow realisation that this was a great mistake and the mood might swing back to remaining [in the EU].”

Remember just last year the British pols and press contantly saying the Euro was finished , France was finished, the continent was overrun with refugees blah blah.....  

The reality is very different, the Eurozone and European Union is generally a very prosperous place to be with many powerhouse countries and regions like Germany and France and Scandinavia and France and Ireland and Holland flying, Poland and Romania booming, Spain and Greece recovering and the envy of much of the world.
