Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostThe paranoia is interesting. If you look at the Brexiteer 'EU are trying to destroy the UK' and 'Remoaners want the UK to fail' narratives, there's a definite shift away from believing that Brexit is going to be a success, towards an attempt to blame other people for the failure. Fascinating in a car crash kind of way.
Like it or not, Remoaners need to understand that the UK is a powerhouse that, for the forseeable future until EM/BRICS etc. sort their acts out (don't hold your breath) will be punching above it's weight on the world stage, whilst the EU experiment lanquishes and dies a slow death (starting with the word "reform" being banded about no doubt).Originally posted by Nigel Farage MEP - 2016-06-24 04:00:00"I hope this victory brings down this failed project and leads us to a Europe of sovereign nation states, trading together, being friends together, cooperating together, and let's get rid of the flag, the anthem, Brussels, and all that has gone wrong."Comment

Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostHopefully at the UK end. When are you handing back your UK passport?
And as for your question. Don't worry, If I get a Swiss passport, I'll be keeping my British passport - both countries allow dual nationality (in common with most developed countries), so it isn't a problem. But I appreciate your concern.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

The political equivalent of a pre-school argument where the group of bullies say to the smart kid "You're not in our gang now, we're not letting you near our swings.."
A day in the life of a typical Remoaner:
1) Travel to work
2) Take a tulip (optional)
3) Get the first coffee of the day
4) Check a bunch of news sites looking for stories with a "doom and gloom" / Anti-brexit flavour
5) Quickly post a link on <some forum>, to provoke reaction and give some meaning to your existance
6) Do some work (optional)
7) While !CoP Repeat from step 4
8) Travel home, promising to yourself to definitely, definitely start researching leaving this terrible country for ever, once you've saved up enough money.
I'd say it was getting tedious, but it has been since 2016-06-24.

Inneresting you think the UK will remain developed. I thought the remoaner creed stated that the UK would be a wasteland by 2018.Comment

Manufacturing? None left
Banking? Moving to Dublin
Lets face it, it’s taxis and takeaway delivery, that’s what we excel at, and that’s only because immigrants do it and they’ll be gone once we regain control of our borders and put the Great back into Britain..
Just like The Children Of Men. That’s a book BTW, ever read one?Comment

So how to you account for the thread being started by a pro-brexiter?"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Money makes the world go round, e.g., remember when Spain tried to introduce huge delays between on the Gibraltar border to p1ss the UK off?
