Guest TPAFKATS Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 You and CS literally haven't stopped going on about it TBF.Can you show an example of where I've done this?Showing that the UK government are either incompetent or compulsive liars with regards to withdrawing from EU is not the same as going on about the EU referendum.

Quote Echoing Boris Johnson’s comments in a speech last week, Gove spoke of pursuing a Canada or Australian-type deal, which EU trade commissioner Phil Hogan has said was “code for no deal” as the bloc does not have a deal with Australia.

Russian Saint Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 You are a year early with the gloating. Personally, I think we'll be OK but given that the practicalities of Brexit won't start happening until the end of the transition period, it's too early for all this. TBH, I don't really understand either the whining or the gloating. For the overwhelming majority of people, no difference in day to day life is going to happen.I’m not gloating chap. Due to all the media hype, I’m only asking a question. It reminded me of the “Armageddon” when Rangers ceased to exist. Look how that turned out.

That you find one example of a business going bust and somehow that invalidates the general point I am making? Businesses go bust all the time. Some of them will wrongly blame Brexit to absolve themselves of responsibility. Other businesses will be created as new opportunities emerge. I see absolutely nothing coming up which will change that overall picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no bridge. He or rather his advisors conveniently release this story on the day of other bad news they don't really want discussed.

Seeing as it’s a Tory government, you’ve answered your own question. They’d rather spend £100bn on an unnecessary railway line than help to sort out homelessness. They don’t even need to necessarily spend much to solve homelessness - all those houses they keep asking councils to hit target numbers with - how about accommodating some of that for those desperate in need? It’s all nice and well building thousands of houses, but not many are sold off as council housing, and the term “affordable” is laughable. 1 hour ago, oaksoft said: I think I've had my fill of crushing negativity for the day from the forum doom merchants.

His spiritual presence motivates me for the day ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougJamie Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 The only thing i do agree with Farage is, that our parents ( or at least mine) joined the Common Market in the 70s, the EU has developed into a super state, it now controls and demands budgets to be in line with its own strategies , its gone and is going to far, even wanting its own army. It needs pegged back Whilst I think its typical English Tory Arrogance to believe the UK ( England and the Rest)is better as an Independent Trading country , the EU needs changed, again Cameron's failings to deliver started all this crap. Only 10 countries contribute to the coffers , 17 take, and that includes ROI...... Its not the answer IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
