Current Affairs EU In or Out

Even the tory minister sent out here on newsnight to cheerlead for May's deal sounds like he's had enough of this nonsense and can't be arsed anymore.

If that is the case then her deal is gone.

Was just a bunch of old fat arses running round and kicking the crap out anyone who showed the slightest glimpse of skill.

So you played in the Zingari bottom division (of the Combination) then...?

Nah I was too good for that level. Still got some moves

So was I. I played for Stoneycroft in the top division of the League in my early '20s.

In nearly 3 years, no one has tried to look at those areas and say 'What's up?' It's just your a bigot or a racist, because no matter how bad no deal is, the answer from some of them would be 'It's not going to get much worse for me, so you have a taste of it'

Really surprised no one mentiond this on this forum, on an Everton one aswell,

Really? You think people would really have voted to leave just so they can make life worse for someone else? Those people must be complete and utter d1ck heads

People are so fed up hearing about it they will take any outcome now.

It's going to happen and democracy will run its course but I'm personally disconsolate that the UK will distance itself from European society.

It's just sad.

There's a word I heard debut on a Jimmy Dore video recently and I think it is rather apt for Brexit.

The people involved in the process, also many posts in this thread and a few posters to boot but I would rather leave their identities for you, dear reader to deduce.

That word is smugnorant.

I'm not sure if I have anything else to add to the debate that hasn't been said many times before.

Or feel completely ignored and unvalued

Perhaps. Still not a valid reason to actively try to screw someone else over though.

BBC has given more attention to the non-existent corruption of a petition than they have the well-documented corruption of the actual referendum.

INEOS threatens to close UK plant unless it can dodge EU pollution rules


The chemicals giant said thousands of jobs could be lost unless it is exempt from EU clean air and water regulations, documents reveal.



INEOS, the petrochemicals giant owned by the UK’s richest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has said it could close its Middlesbrough manufacturing plant unless it is allowed to ‘defer compliance’ with EU rules designed to prevent air and water pollution, according to documents obtained by Unearthed.
An analysis of data from the Environment Agency (EA) also reveals the plant clocked up 176 permit violations between 2014 and 2017, 90 of which related to air and water emissions. An EA spokesperson said: “air emissions are well over legal limits and this poses a risk to the environment”.

I'm sure that person who feeds their family from food banks will be deeply offended by your opinion of them

What I'm saying is, when politicians were telling people that if they vote leave then a whole world of pain will follow, that's not really going to bother someone on the bread line struggling already from government cuts, those people seen the vote as a way to hurt the establishment, a way to take away the gravy train from politicians who go into the EU after parliament, all politicians are the same in some eyes

Maybe the remain campaign could have done more to educate those areas in the benefits of the EU instead of telling them vote this way or else, those threats of recession and cuts don't bother people who have at the time (2016) just spent the last couple of years living through cuts from Cameron, Osbourne and that lovely liberal, defender of the poor Nick Clegg

Fair enough, voting to hurt the establishment is one thing, I interpreted you previous post as suggesting people were voting to hurt others, which for me, is not ok.

I've had people tell me they voted 'to show you lot a bit of hardship, it'll do you good'.

Idiotic.
