Brexit

[100th_Idiot 361]

Loved the little dig at Corbyn "you may or may not campaign for your own deal"

[PaulCP 691]

Will the 100+ Labour MPs who (supposedly) represent “vote leave” constituencies have the balls to vote for an election?

If they do will their constituents vote them out?

Brexit deal means ‘£70bn hit to UK by 2029'

However, below that there is an article in small print:

Carney: Brexit deal 'positive' for UK economy

Now is it just me or are the BBC anti Brexit? I would hardly call that unbiased reporting!

 

[Sparky 2,863]

I'm with you, mate, but Carney's accuracy is worse than that of an Imperial Stormtrooper.

surely the police don`t have the power to do this. It was ok for the lib/dems to have it on their tee shirts

I believe they do - it’s classified as offensive.

amazing how they can ignore folks burning poppies or protesting in Birmingham about education of kids

I'm pretty sure that after the English Court case where "Never mind the bollocks, here's the sex pistols" was deemed NOT offensive, the word Bollocks is now not offensive in England.

But that decision may not be binding-I can 't recall. 

However, if PISS COCK PARTRIDGE is acceptable....

[andydclements 790]

A statement that may have been acceptable in the past can become offensive, and vice versa. Also, it depends on where it's used, although I'd think that in a record shop's window is more accessible to small children than on a car's bumper.

Written by a German, but yes it's the Daily Snail. I do wonder if, by a fluke, we actually make a go of Brexit some of the more outspoken Remainer purveyors of doom will admit their crystal balls were wrong. Obviously only time will tell which sides gazing was right.

Well simple maths will probably end up deciding it. For us and the EU.

simple maths will decide it for Germany as well. They have already slipped into recession. They will need to pay more into the EU gravy train slush funds to keep the project going - that money will come from one place only - the German tax payers. Areas of Germany are now crime hotspots utterly over run with economic migrants whom have fled dire countries and are trying to turn the German areas into what they have fled. All sound familiar?

Germany will increasingly see a rise of the far right - and as so many will admit - they sure do have form for it. Like Greta would say “ the end is nigh”

[gregs24 150]

The trouble is some will beneft from Brexit and some will lose out, in a currently impossible ratio to determine. Some who voted out will lose out, some who voted remain will benefit. There is no simple 'it was a success or it wasn't' and it will take years to establish the winners and losers anyway. It wouldn't be so bad if there was a baseline you could compare the future to, but there isn't

The trouble is far too many people have black and white views over Brexit including politicians when the reality is the EU is responsible for a lot of positive progress since we joined, but equally it's fair share of failings. The world is not in black and white and never has been.

I see Helen Macentee was whining on saying UK must not diverge too fat from EU rules as their must be a level playing field.

I guess she has forgotten the hundreds of millions that Ireland and Luxemburg have sifted from rest of EU with their tax rules. How was that a level playing field again?

Which tax rules are they out of interest ?

How about the ones that allowed companies like Apple to syphon of billions with an effective corporate tax rate of 0.0005% and then after it was ruled illegal by the EU in 2016 the Irish government then started to spend millions appealing the decision to prevent billions from going into public public coffers?

You couldn't get away with a film script like that lol...
