[Merged]Brexit stuff

[PurpleGorilla]

you are a cretin of the lowest order. We cannot survive without the French & Germans telling us what to do.

Love a Bremoaner.

oh this is actually quite fun talking BullTulip.

The weaker minded crumple at being put down, but we Brits are strong minded and stiff upper lipped, we say 'yes we can' to those that say 'no you can't'.

This is one Brexiter who is still 100% happy with his vote.

You are obviously as thick as custard. How you manage to get up in the morning I don't know, do you know I'm considerably richer than thou because my Spouse pays for everything! We are buying a house in Portugal so I can stay there and my spouse can stay in England for some peace & quiet!

It was about emotions, negative ones; and behaviour is something that economists struggle to capture.

Emotions are a fact of life, we need to go with the realities of human nature not ignore them or pretend there is some "cure". It is the daft idealists, with their failure to grasp reality or learn the lessons of history that cause most problems.

If the EU continues in the direction it is going, if it carries on trying to create an EU-wide government with less and less say for individual nations, there will one day be a massive war when those nations, especially the smaller ones with little power, try and regain their freedom.

Team GB will do just fine.

Indeed. The Sun is shining, the economy is ticking over in its usual way. Sport is good. Life's not too bad. Don't let the misery guts Remainers get anyone down.

As an antidote here's TeamGB singing The National Anthem.

It's like 1957 all over again.

BBC ON THIS DAY | 20 | 1957: Britons 'have never had it so good'

I think a does of humility is needed on all sides. The simple truth is unless the negotiations are done in good faith with a spirit of give and take, both sides will be hurt economically. I would advise people to read the highly informative articles on Eureferendum.com by Perter North and Charlie Booker(Both firm Brexiters) to start to get an understanding of the complexities and issues involved with Brexit. There's so much uninformed commentary going around from ALL sides it's truly worrying.

I agree. It is in the interests of both sides to have a sensible outcome. Unfortunately we have the likes of the Swedes with their veiled threats. It's like your wife leaving you but you still trying to tell her what she can do. She doesn't card what you think any more. The EU has to grasp that very quickly.

Aye and only 20 years later, the IMF had to step in to rescue the country from bankruptcy

Love the fact that all the so called 'senior economists and economic experts' who predicted economic doom have been shown up as ignorant, incompetent BullTulipers.

But hardly surprising, because the same doomsters were wailing and gnashing their teeth when we didn't join the Euro, and when we left ERM

I think in the Scottish referendum currency was a deciding factor for many who voted no. Hardly a emotional decision.

If the EU continues in the direction it is going, if it carries on trying to create an EU-wide government with less and less say for individual nations, there will one day be a massive war when those nations, especially the smaller ones with little power, try and regain their freedom.

What you say carries some weight 100+ years ago

Back in 2016 the world is much more populated. Today we share many of the same problems despite what country we're in. Collaboratively EU countries do not even match in size to the US. It makes much more sense for EU countries to become efficient together, as a way forward.

[scooterscot]

And another thing! All those saying 'look, we're fine nothing is happening FTSE through the roof'

We've not yet left the £$%$ @$%@ EU. And it's becoming increasingly clear we might not either. Article 50 will not be triggered in this parliament. Mark my words. I know a Judas when I see one.
