Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

[Mudball]

That cant be proven right or wrong until the country leaves the EU - we could end up being better off - its all unknown whcih way it goes

True.. let’s hope we will be better off outside. In worst case, if we lose out, should we rejoin the EU?

Gammon would laugh, remainers would help out.

Ha ha Gammon?

And I know several that are 'bludging' off the wealth that that part of the world generates!

FWIW, my 'heritage' is Scottish (and German from a previous generation) but I'm no bludger!

As far as I can recall, most of Doon's career was spent harvesting funds in England; but now that's over, he wants the (mythical imo) benefits of 'independence' for Scotland! Sorry, but, imo, that's a blatant attempt to 'have your cake and eat it too'!

You do realise that folk will always gravitate to were the biggest salaries/opportunities are. In my case golf in Surrey aged 21.
Quite a few unionist supporting English folk working in the oil industry in NE Scotland to counter your views.

For what it is worth I joined the SNP 19 years after I returned to Scotland, after my English wife persuaded me it was a decent option.
Before then I was more of a Vow man until Cameron and Milliband removed that option.

Many people have lost money

My boss lost 40k overnight. He was selling his house in uk and buying one in Ireland and the price of the pound dropped dramatically.

Is that the price of the pound that had been artificially inflated on the presumption of a Remain win at the polls; that price?

 

[IanM]

Heard a good one tonight...

Remainers had no idea what they were voting for...

Current level of federalism?
Full Federalism?
Reformed EU?
The return of the Common Market as at 1975 Referendum?
Failed comedian in drag as president?

But keep taking trade...... surest way of making a recession is to say one is coming

Or allow the Tories to control economic policy ...

...

You failed to notice (or ignored) my different terms - 'bludging' (Antipodean expression: shirk responsibility and live off the efforts of others) is not he same as 'harvesting', which is how I described your (and my) move to England!

...
Quite a few unionist supporting English folk working in the oil industry in NE Scotland...

Another example of 'harvesting' - not 'bludging'!

...to counter your views.
...

I didn't actually express 'a view'! Simply pointed out some facts!

You should source a matrix comparing economic indicators following change of government since WW2.....

Remainers think all Leavers are Pigs. It’s a common slur on LBC (that’s a radio station btw)

Not at all. It’s been around longer than the leave campaign
A gammon is a middle aged white man who’s red in and face and raging

2012 it was first used

It’s been used now to discribe Brexiteers because of the anger involved when they shout at MPs

So it is a comparison to a pig? if its not please explain.

You said that remainers think all leavers are pigs. That’s the mistake I was pointing out.....

It is as much calling someone a pig as is calling someone who is a bit over weight 'porky'. Yes there is some porcine based detail in there, but if you think it is calling people pigs then you are a bit snowflakey and looking for offence . If you can say that nowadays.

The main complaint was that the term was racist, not pigist. https://www.thepoke.co.uk/2018/05/14/gammon-people-unhappy-11-responses/

And there are one or two potty mouthed words in this article.

That’s what I thought, it is a porcine based jibe. I honestly couldn’t care a less, and will leave childish names to the children. 👍

(But if there was a reciprocal barb for the democracy deniers what do you think it would be? Ratters? 😜)

Chancellor Philip Hammond has told Sky News a 'no-deal' Brexit would cause "catastrophic economic dislocation in the short term" and in the longer term leave Britain with a "smaller economy" and "poorer as a nation relative to our neighbours in the European Union"

That’s 2 chancelers on the spin saying it will leave us worse off? Must be a conspiracy

Data point is 80s onwards for me as it is more applicable.
Not a believer in flogging the family jewels to stay in hock.. which is the modern aristocratic way.

Project Fear ! Leave means leave! Your making it up, objective data doesn’t count, entrenched opinion based on whimsical history only counts .. I have fairies down the end of my garden. 🤣

Or the last 2 were both idiots? The first one has certainly been shown up for having inaccurate predictions.

Unfortunately we are now in a situation with politicians that if they told me it was daytime, I would look out of the window to check. Out of interest are both Chancellors remainers.

Surely not; who could have guessed?
