Current Affairs EU In or Out

[orchard]

The problem is though that he’s still talking about things that have already been ruled out, he talks about essentially having all the benefits of being in the EU, including having a say on how things are done, whilst we aren’t actually members. It was the same dream peddled by people at the start of the process. I cannot, for the life of me, understand how a General Election and more negotiating helps. It needs to be pulled now.

A lot of things have been ruled out because the EU don't want poo flooding in/increased competition from dropping standards. These things erect lots of trade barriers with the EU, whoever one may be.

Again, he'd be negotiating on different terms, he doesn't want to lower worker and environmental standards, nor will he (I expect) try to protect the offshore laundering.

The way we're carrying on, I reckon it'll be the EU telling us to get stuffed with no deal before long. They've been pretty consistent and unified throughout, whereas we've been an utter shambles. Corbyn pretending he's the white knight is comical when he's deliberately sat on the fence for much of the past two years.

Translate your paragraph first......

So you can't do it so here they are The agreement proposal was signed by Tony Blair, John Hume, Mo Mowlan and Gerry Adams. -not one EU commissioner's on there the only thing they claim did help is the human rights act which is not changing after Brexit......
oh the agreement was decided by a referendum to the Irish people-
the main people involved -

The thing is, if you're not tribal about this and just want a decent outcome regardless of who provides it (ie having the interests of the country at heart), then it would surely have made more sense to push for a cross-party approach from the offing. The Tories played internal politics in getting us into this mess in the first place, and have been riven by division throughout, but as several Corbynites on here have said before, Labour were quite happy sitting back and letting the Tories make a mess of things so they could win the next election.

It's hard to shake the image that both parties are in this for themselves rather than for what's best for the public.

I’ve just read @BigBlueNose posts in another thread and was struck by the use of ellipsis

I hate working any further than an hour away... But sometimes it could be a couple hours away like when we built leigh rmi new ground

Re read it mert.. It total sense

Obviously BBN is a Brexiteer and we know joey loves them

It was Michael Portillo,s analogy - did you not study history at School it was a subject, and still is as far as I know, you are supposed to learn from History, and not make similar mistakes - did you not read what he stated very relevant...

Gideon and Davy boy were thst cocky it would be a Remain walk over......
Nothing put in place for the out vote if the had won 52/48 we would have deffo remained no compromises just stayed in.....
Only compensation those etonians bit the dust.....

Let them sue us...

Then looking I saw pete liberally (no offence ) enjoyed their use

Oh well done......

Indeed....

And whilst looking could see that Holliday who seems to be not a huge fan of a federated Europe was also unboard with them.

white van man rings a bell...that was her? badly snobbish comment that were.

there's a theory, even from some pro-Corbyns, that Jeremy's quite happy in opposition, playing that government-antagoniser role...

possibly...personally i like Corbyn. But Diane Abbott is a significant weak link, also not convinced by Tom Watson, plus all the in-fighting surrounding Momentum & the old Blairite factions...it's all a bit of a mess.

Old blue 2 doesn’t seem shy in their use

You think MPs are the sharpest knives in the box...? Really??? Self-serving muppets, most of them!

I told you, OBWD! It's started already!

As predictable as night follows day...

So genuinely is there some kind of link between the use of ellipsis and Brexit because I don’t see that many on this board but those that are used seem to be big Brexit supporters , am I falling into confirmation bias or is something going on here ?

I’m also disappointed that it seems I’m not the first one to notice this

Is multiple full stops a Brexit requirement?

I believe linguistically an ellipses is used to show you're omitting something, so perhaps it's just a subtle admission that their posts often omit thought, evidence and reason?

 

[Harryflashman]

Seriously though it’s a bit mad as a stat don’t you think , I can’t understand it. Everyone who seems to excessively use ellipsis or not fully grasp their grammatical purpose seems to be a supporter of Brexit . Just seems like a statistical anomaly .

I tried in vain to get remainers to tell me who signed the GFA from the EU it was like getting blood out of a stone so I googled it Bruce .............................
