Originally posted by Mordac View PostI went for the "there are about 4 members of the 27 that are vaguely solvent, and therefore subsidising everyone else, and how long is that going to last" sort of angle, in addition to the "who the **** elected the winkers in charge" approach. I appreciate you may have fallen for the "Project Fear" propaganda, some people who used to be important put that case quite well, but that doesn't make them right, and it didn't work out so well for them in the end. Call me a Brexidiot Gammoneerist all you like, it simply reinforces how right I was back then and still am right now...
Conversely, there are no positive stories or outcomes being reported from Brexit. I'm all ears if you have any at all (and "we're taking back control" isn't hard, facts it's just a soundbite). Come on Mordac, you believe in Brexit so much so sell it to us. Explain how we will be better off after Brexit. Where will the benefits come from (please don't refer to the bus)? Convince us why you voted Brexit, but remember we don't buy the 'less foreigners' argument, we need something a bit more substantial to work with.

My post stands though to the other cretinous Brexidiots who pray to the alter of the Daily Fail and their high lord all powerful Rees Moggness.

Do you have any hints and tips to give me an edge to win the title? What tactics did you go for ..... or was voting to leave the EU the icing on the cake when you won your village idiot title?
Btw, the "village idiot" reference wasn't directed at you, but if read the history and still think it was, there's always an opening somewhere for a blind idiot with an on-loan brain-cell. Shame it didn't come with instructions...Last edited by Mordac; 29 July 2018, 00:56.

You should be seriously worried about your new EU village idiot status. Still, all competition is good competition, surely...

Originally posted by Whorty View PostWhy do you guys keep falling for the lie that the EU is punishing us? WE chose to leave, they aren't kicking us out. WE are the ones demanding that THEY change, even though WE'VE leaving the club.
The EU don't have to agree to anything if they don't want (just like we don't). They can offer us Norway, or Canada, or Switz, or something new, or nothing at all. We can chose to accept any of these. If we don't agree with each other then it's a cliff. It's quite simple. Nothing to do with being 'punished' as the right wing press will have you believe.
And yes, they are protecting their club, and why shouldn't they? We will also protect our club, and that is our prerogative. Why do the arrogant Brexiters think they have the right to change how the EU works just because they don't like the rules?
And the end of EU around the corner? Highly unlikely. The new trade deals the EU is pulling together, allowing all EU27 to trade openly with countries they would not be able to if they were independent, will ensure these countries stay in the EU. EU countries (including us) prosper within the EU - why would they want to leave when life is better in than it will be outside? Only idiots (or those lied to by sly, rich, individuals who want to profit from the chaos) would vote to leave.
