Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Bruce Wayne]

And how did that affect the lives of ordinary people, did they lose their jobs, pay more for food, lose their homes, pay more tax, how......

How did having a parachute affect the free faller? Is this a serious question?

He was, while not a prominent campaigner, a presence during the campaign advocating we leave the EU. As a result, the rights we all enjoyed as EU citizens were taken away from us, and leave campaigners told us we'd all be better off as a result. So yes, it matters that Jim Ratcliffe builds his car in France rather than Wales, it matters that Johnson wants to retain the power that EU citizenship imbues. They wanted what we've all got. They should live with it, just as we all are. Move on, as you might say.

I think @peteblue is just doing his usual thing to try and distract from what his lot are doing over this vaccination mess.

Ah good. If its one message that Brexit pushed during the campaign, it's that basic survival was guaranteed. Project Wait and See has been a complete success

Nobody knows yet if it will be a success or failure. A lot of people want it to fail so they can say, See I was right. I've never said it will be a success because I don't have a crystal ball

Bruce has a crystal ball, the left one I think.....

Actually I agree with you.....

Dominic Grieve has recently been appointed to a position with Islamic Relief Worldwide my civil society newsletter tells me.

Eel man thought he was getting frictionless trade so I'm not sure how wide ranging the 'country voted for' in that sentence extendeds.

And given you've, seemingly on a day to day basis, changed the definition of what outcome you wanted depending upon how slighted the Telegraph are telling you to be, stating 'we got what we wanted' is a bit daft.

Can I ask. Do the EU states have frictionless trade with us? Do they have to do all this so called extra paperwork when they export to us. Genuine question because all I have seen is that their will be a mountain of paperwork for British companies. Does it work both ways? If it does it would be in the interests of both to make it easier for us and the EU

The Bank of England printed £445 billion in the aftermath of the vote in order to prevent that cliff edge. It's like jumping out of a plane, forgetting that you had a parachute and then you saying "this flying lark is alright."

Do we know how much the ECB has printed in the last 4 years?

Actually I agree with you.....

Not sure I approve of that

Mad the pride some people take in saying ‘I don’t know anything so I will mock anyone who has tried to learn about it’
The main argument of ‘no one knows what the future holds’ is a pretty poor one when discussing international relations and economic planning

But optimism drives you forwards. Pessimism drives you down. Shall we forever be arguing these points. Me I prefer that we all get on with it now. But I'm an optimist

Optimism has become a dirty word for many people. I don't see that changing any time soon. Best get accustomed to it.

I think you will find that these agreements apparently only work one way, we have to do paperwork, the EU can sue us, lorries will stack up in the U.K. while they just magically flow from Calais......our friends on these pages have never realised or admitted it’s a two way street.......

 

[peteblue]

Not sure I approve of that

I must try and do it more often then.....

Before your head explodes, my post about Bruce having a crystal left ball was in reference to his humorous comment about the left one being colder than his right one...but please carry on being aggrieved....
