The more sinister side of Brexit

    The most sinister side of Brexit from where I am sat is the ability of some people to focus solely on 'how much money they may or may not get because of Brexit and absolutely nothing else'

    The financial markets will always grow and shrink and some people will be better off and some people will be worse off.

    It seems that in order to 'protect' their finances they are willing to be ruled over by anyone who promises them their finances will not be affected and they will continue to get rich.

      In front of your mum's PC?
      It's to do with keeping Britain's power and status, as well as wealth, in the world and not turning into some miserable backwater.
      A poor country cannot afford to defend itself, simple as that.
      You're a public sector permie, do you think money grows on trees?
      Hard Brexit now!

        That's their prerogative, we're the ones who've left.
        The maths says they can take the hit better than we can - the German companies have already planned for a rock hard Brexit.
        It's called realpolitik, welcome to the real world, if you can abandon la-la land for a moment.
        Amusingly enough from a Frenchman who escaped to the UK to avoid persecution in France. An odd choice to support your belief that the EU is a good choice. Talking about the reasons Britons ruled the waves.


        Medieval Spanish Catholics for tolerance & openness in religion, French & Russian support for Royalty. You heard it worst & first from Assguru.


        No Ass & co its called desperation as the EU realises the game is up.
        Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

          Amusingly enough the Frenchman was satirising the British for executing Admiral Byng.

          Dans ce pays-ci, il est bon de tuer de temps en temps un amiral pour encourager les autres.

            Yeah that's why Juncker came to London yesterday on a desperate attempt to get a breakthrough on the talks.

            OH wait ....

            Like i said you have to abandon la la land. It's going to happen sometime even for complete boneheads like you

              We went to see them because they refuse to come out of their play pen and talk to the adults.

              It's shame we have to but there you go just really confirms that leave was the best option.

                Actually , you thick child, they're following the 2 stage plan agreed by the weak David Davies on the first day of the talks.

                And you need to get over yourself. The Uk isn't that important. The Germans are busy forming a govt. No one actually gives a tulip we're leaving very much any more.

                  Congratulations to the EU who appear to have gained the upper hand even though the cards are stacked against them.

                  I think we can all agree on that.

                  I'm alright Jack

                    But but but... That doesn't sound at all right. John Redwood cheaply stated:

                    Getting out of the EU can be quick and easy – the UK holds most of the cards in any negotiation.

                      There is going to be the row of the summer over this.
