No well done MK not UK.

Without a shadow of a doubt it was your attitude to peoples immigration concerns that won the day for Brexit.....Once again thanks.

Oh Rigsby very good, blaming me for your short sighted xenophobia. I hope you're just as chipper when the crunch really hits if and when Article 50 is invoked and those on the lowest wage who allegedly voted out will be even worse off. But as I understand it you're a landlord, so I guess you don't give a monkey's about them any more than Bojo, Gove or that human filthbag Farage.

Good piece here from Paul Embery on the failure of free movement in the EU...

Not quite, 58.7bn of that has been attributed to Brexit the rest has been attributed to other factors like weaker in-year receipts than forecast, government policy changes unrelated to Brexit, classification changes etc.

So just £57.8bn, a drop in the ocean. Think, that money could have gone to the NHS, like that fantasy £350M p/w......

I am still an FBU member and have met Paul several times. Very sensible bloke and a very good speaker.

One of only a very small minority of future Union leaders who actually want to represent their members. Rather than pursue a left wing class war that always fails with disastrous consequences.

So if I've got it right, this thread is just Yorkie slagging off Toblerone?

No, there are a few Fruit and Nut cakes, taken in by the government's Fudges on this Topic, who must live on Mars or another Galaxy as they are expecting some great Bounty from the negotiations with the EU, whereas once we serve Article 50 they have us by the Curly-Wurlies.

If people voted leave just because the attitude of some voting remain rather than thinking of the consequences then they are truly idiots.

Don't they (the un-elected, self serving EU'crats) have US (the UK) by the Curly-Wurlies at present? and isn't the idea to break free but do it without a snicker or a crunchie.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Anyone with half a brain (and I know that includes a lot on SZ), can see that negotiations to leave the EU (when they finally start next year), will be exteremely complicated indeed.

The idea that the UK will be allowed to pick and mix in order to choose the best possible deal just beggars belief.

It's going to be a hard Brexit folks.And there will be a high price to pay for it.

My half a brain tells me that the negotiations will start, stall, start, stall, stop, start etc etc and run out of the 2 year time period AND that what happens after that will be the assortment to end all milk trays.
Lots and lots of bluff and bluster, plus a few gallic threats going to happen.

No they don't. The UK government agrees most of it via the Council of Ministers (you might not be aware of this fact because of a lack of democratic transparency in our system over government actions) and the elected EU Parliament oversees it.

Your unelected EU'crats are no less unelected than the Civil Service who are to implement Brexit and put in place alternatives, whilst the EU Parliament gets a vote on the final package - which is more than the UK Parliament is to get.

Jim,I think you know very well that you were not one of the people I was referring to with "half a brain."

The negotiations for Brexit will be far from the only problem coming down the track.Even today PH admitted that there is a black hole of 59bn quid in the UK economy, already, due to Brexit.

This will really start to hit home to people in the UK (many of those on low incomes, who voted for Brexit in the referendum), when prices start to rise faster than earnings next year.

Yep, have to agree. In my eyes voting for Brexit is like ******** the bed and expecting a good nights sleep.

When the next few countries vote out, say Frexit, Swexit or Hexit and the EU implodes. What will you do in Spain, when you finally have to stand on your own to feet and not ponce of the rest of us. What will you do when the Euro collapses.

Yes there's a world of misery coming but luckily the people with 'half a brain' have saved Britain once e again from the next European made disaster.

You think other countries are going to look at the absolute ****show we've served up and think "Tell you what Francois, I like the look of that version of economic freedom!"?

None of the EU's other 27 member states will pull out of the EU.The hard Brexit that the UK will eventually negotiate,on disadvantageous terms, will see to that.

Nor will the Euro collapse, (it's not in Germany's or France's interest for that to happen.

Spain will do fine thanks,largely due to its tourism industry.If Brits can't afford to come, more French,Germans or Russians will.

ESB's right you know.
