Brexit divorce bill (part 94) - I'd like to know...

[sasguru]

Why not go for a clean break then?

Because even the Brexit cretins have figured out that we'd be fooked then :
Brexit has been good for one thing, it's opened my eyes as to how very many imbeciles we have in this country.

A colleague asked me the other day If the British are just plain stupid. I had to acknowledge that it did appear so.

I think the problem is the "everyone's a winner" mentality that has been propagated in education since the 80s.
It makes the stupid have delusions of intellectual adequacy.

Its a divorce with a crazy ex that after 30 years of you paying for everything , is busy chopping up your suits, refuses to let you date new people or use any of the joint assets, demands ridiculous money in Alimony (no kids) and refuses to discuss anything further until you agree to all their demands.

Still works! But that is a Brexiteer analogy.

A likely bremainer analogy is that the EU is a fluffy bunny that racist Brexiters have despoiled!

Or maybe a bit closer to: The EU have set out their stall, the Brexit camp have said no. The EU say "OK what do you want" and the best the Brexit camp come up with is "Not what you're offering"
Until the UK put adults in the negotiations, we're stuck with the Brexit children who believe "ya boo sucks" is a good starting point.

Wrong as usual. The Czech and Polish economies are fast converging on the EU norm

Poland is the largest recipient of EU funds...

That would be the stall with no prices or clear description of sale then?

Thought so!

Hardly surprising he posed such a question. Using YOU as a benchmark was where his first mistake lay.

Don't go tarring everyone with the sasguru brush.

Mostly the old who were educated before the 80s voted for Brexit. Unfortunately the old politicians mainly didn't agree with them - unless you want Corbyn on the negotiation team?

Have to agree with that one. Everyone I've spoken to in the real world seems to think that the British (and to some extent the Americans) seem to have lost their collective minds. Many people, when bringing up Brexit, start to snigger. Have no idea why as it's the greatest thing to have happened to the UK, apparently...
