Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

[bobmac]

Is there any chance we close this thread until about mid October?
Nothing's going to happen between now and then and name calling isn't serving any purpose

Secondly, every bit of evidence shows that there are only a small minority of people who feel strongly enough to actually get out and break the law. This was shown by the "March" in London a few weeks ago.. Just a Far Right excuse for a booze up and a few Nazi salutes..

Fair point but at the minute we are still leaving so why should Leavers bother protesting. If that were to change, then it becomes the tipping point and the game changes, millions upon millions of hugely disgruntled people (thick leavers they've been labelled don't forget) with an axe to grind.
And then who knows what will happen. Ok that may come across a touch negative but I really can't foresee a positive outcome should we now remain.

Would I be right in thinking that you've just called me naive, arrogant and plain wrong?

Naive - yes (re the potential for riots)

arrogant and plain wrong - no, that was a generalisation about the brexit discussion thread. It's a constant "fight" about who's opinion or vote is more important than someone elses. Whereas they are all just a valid, hence why we get a vote each.

Re your other points - I cant event be bothered to address them. Very much like most of the brexit discussions - pointless.

It's the UK asking for the extension...

I'm aware of that, the EU will grant us any extension we want because we're important to them.

We'll have to agree to disagree and see what happens if we do ending up Remaining.. I do love the idea of millions of Leave Voters roaming the streets looking for people to fight though.. Like a very British Battle Royale (the film not the wrestling malarkey)..

Brilliant.. You insult me, then pitch a hissy fit when I respond..

If any of the remaining members were in any doubt before, yesterday should prove to them that once the UK has left it will be France and Germany in charge.

Who do you think was in charge before?????

The comment does seem to suggest that before Brexit, it was the UK, France and Germany that were in charge.

We (May) wanted June 30th to avoid EU elections. Didn't get it.

Ahhh like our Government, he thinks we had a say in anything. The EU was formed to make sure we never got a say in anything. Why don't people realise the the only country that actually likes us is the USA?

Well, we're all entitled to our opinions.. And yours is interesting to say the least.. I'll be honest, I never considered, not for one solitary single second, that the EU was formed purely to diminish our Global standing.
I can just imagine all those Johnny Foreigners, holed up in some over-priced Hotel in Paris, bellies full of stinky cheese and lovely wine, wondering just how to make sure that those pesky British didn't have any input into Global politics..

"I know" said Pierre, "We'll form a gigantic club, comprised of all the major European countries, then we'll make sure that the Brits get by far the best deal to be a member. Then, we'll ignore everything they say. Vote against every motion they bring forward and generally treat them with the contempt they deserve.."

It's a cunning plan Baldrick.. If it was any more cunning they could stick a tail on it and call it a fox...

And, IIRC, if you take a look at the 72 laws that were forced upon us, the vast majority appear to be linked to Tax avoidance and Worker rights.. That might just give you a clue as to where the Senior Political Brexiteers see us heading once we're out...

This is just laughable.
The only people the septics are interested in are themselves.
And only the 10% at that.
They are looking forward to pillaging our health services and dumping the products of their environment destructive farming practices.

The Brits of course.

Good to see that the Marketing/PR guys are in full flow.. Here is the Revolut email...

You're probably Reesly sick of hearing about Brexit by now. We understand. It's all very Merkely and confusing.

We're sorry to Boris you with more Brexit stuff, but please don't send this email to your Juncker folder. We have an important message you May want to hear.

For now, all our politicians have stopped having a Barnier about what deal to sign. This is good news. It means that you'll stay as part of our UK entity for the foreseeable future, and that you don’t need to do anything on your side for now. There's a Chancellor this will change in the future, but we will keep you up to date as developments continue.

We suggest that you celebrate by using your Revolut card to go out and buy a sweet treat. Maybe a strawberry Macron.

....... keep em flowing..

You're to overly concerned with the wrongs things in life I'd say.

I'm not overly interested in what you'd say, but thanks anyway.

DeGaulle wasn't overly enthusiastic about us joining his club... On reflection perhaps he was right to keep us out whilst he was able to...
