The Pub Analogy

[milanbenes]

You decide to leave anyway and live happily ever after. Soon after you leave the party breaks up and you receive a text from the others in the paying clique to meet up with them in a nicer pub.

it was a good analogy until that sentence

you see that's the bit you can't accept

the rest of the paying clique are building their future together and aren't going to follow you to the other pub

you missed the part of the story where at the other pub you realized it's no fun being on your own and asked the paying clique if you can come back to their party to which they said after doing what you did you have to pay double to get back in

Milan.

So because it has always been this way it can never change then?

Of course it can change and by the looks of it, will change. The big questions is whether it's going to change for better or worse.

So far we have 0 indication for new trade deals, only idle chat and bolstering by various Brexit campaigners.

Which means that we will have fewer trade deals in place post Brexit, which means less trade.

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is one of the first signs of insanity you know.

What does this have to do with anything?

Who is expecting a different result from our continuing membership in the EU?

What is making a change for the sake of it, without any level of research on the impact of said change is a sign of?

So we should just have continued as we were blindly accepting what we were told? Doing what we were told? Thinking what we were told?

When you say we did not research it - that was because every single piece of research anyone would have done would have been commissioned by someone with a bias towards one side or the other - and as we know Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics

In other words it would not have made a difference.

A lot of people do not like change - not because it is not better or worse - but because it is difficult and scary and unknown - and so if they had been part of the research their response would have been biased by their desire for things to remain as they are and familiar.

There is a good book all about it Who Moved my Cheese?

Can't wait for Brexit to happen and the slow dawning realisation as the Wrexiters realise the touted trade deals aren't forthcoming and the unemployment rate (which rose for the first time in a few years at last count) is headed inexorably upwards.

It'll probably take them as much time to realise this as it took for them to realise the UK didn't hold all the cards - remember that idiotic miscalculation from a few months ago that has been now put to rest by David Davies simply agreeing to EVERY FOOKING SINGLE THING THE EU HAS PROPOSED.


Please God, let it be a proper Brexit no CU and SM.

It's not strictly true is it?

Also - fight the battles you want to win?

In other words, you did no research, you have no plan, and you don’t care about the results as long as it’s “change”.

Thanks for ******* up the country with no idea.

No? What has the EU conceded then?

The fact of the matter is that you and your ilk are mince.
There's too much mince in the country - eugenic policies should have been subtly applied decades ago, but the opposite happened.
A scroty underclass has been created by the welfare state.
