Current Affairs EU In or Out

[peteblue]

Apart from Wetherspoons and Dyson are there any other well known/large companies coming out in favour of Brexit?

And be hounded by the Remainer zealots, would you ?......the real test is to identify the number of U.K. businesses, then add up all the names of those that say we should remain and compare.......

JCB, but ask yourself where the funding for remaining came from and the recent funds for the people's vote?.......
The stinking rich .......

 

[peteblue]

What if that’s the answer to your question

Either answer or don’t , but this sort of reply is exactly what you have been unfairly accusing @Joey66 of......

 

[Ruairi77]

And yet, in spite of the doom and gloom we were promised, the country and our exports are doing really well. You just know that the more avid Remainers really hate this.....

Your exports are doing well because your currency is weak. Watch out for the cost of imports. Simple economics Pete

Sorry edge but any poster who claims that not being tagged is worse than being labelled a racist deserves to be laughed out of town for such nonsense. That applies to any poster whether they are pro or anti Brexit. A comment like that is a self-inflicted own goal deserving of derision which isn't bullying.

If he actually responded to some of the points put forward by the likes of @Bruce Wayne and stopped whinging about project fear/remoaners/ you lost we won/someone hasn't tagged me properly, then the rest of us would have much more respect for his opinions.

In the past I was called out as a racist and @Bruce Wayne did call me an idiot which he was reported for by another poster, that's not my style to report someone I can has you know answer a lister, I did report the racist poster, this @ is just a thing of principle I feel strongly about ok.....

Bruce i cant speak for others but i have always put my reasons for wanting brexit out there and replied when asked to explain them as best as i can.
We have had many a discussion on here together, both as far as i can recall neither has willingly just ignored anything the other has to say, maybe a bit of prodding each other for a bit of banter now and again , but always with a bit of respect,
i honestly dont think @Joey66 has been getting that the last few days .
He hasn't been well of late and i know it might not be meant as bullying , but it is obviously getting to him at a time when he more than likely isnt up to it not nice to see mate in my view.

It is what it is, pure bullying, and there are some on here who should be ashamed of how they have treated an honest poster. I’ve been tied up with buying a pub these last few weeks, so haven’t been on much, but tonight has been a real eye opener and I’ll be honest, I’m not impressed.......

were is my @
cant speak for him , but it looks like its getting him a bit down,
myself i dont think its worth doing that to someone, but that just might be my view.

It is simple economics. If our currency was strong, our exports would reduce, work would be less and unemployment would rise. Now what would you propose.......

I never accused Joey of anything.
This might come off as rude but I think you can handle it.
I believe your generations desire to leave the EU is based on a nostalgia for a kind of glory the generation before you achieved.
I believe your generations drive to show your patriotism is shortsighted and puts the livelihood of future generations at risk.
The generation before you gave you good lives, now you’re gambling with the lives of those coming after you.

 

[orchard]

Can you perhaps give us some substance on how we will grow within the EU, or even be more secure. Some substance, anything really will do......

I could,but that's not what we're discussing, as you well know. Leave won a dubious vote, just, quite a while ago, and we've been waiting for some substance ever since. As a leave voter who's just accused someone of being a Luddite for wanting to remain I was interested in what he wanted to achieve by leaving the EU beyond the usual vacuous cliché.

I don’t think so, @Joey66 has a point, if someone refers to him or mentions him then pure simple curtesy dictates that they should at least let him know by putting the @ in.......obviously people forget, we all do, but the lad has a valid point......

I really hope that was meant in the spirit in which I read it, in support of @Joey66 .....

My father and grandfather gave me nothing except their lives. My generation built on their sacrifices and now offer today’s generation wealth previously unknown. I never gamble with my family, I have spent a life building for them. I would never jeopardise their future, which is why I voted to leave.....
