Andromeda To Collide With The Galaxy In August If We Leave The E U....

[ToraToraTora]

Scientists have confirmed that leaving the EU will cause such a ruction in the space time continuum that, Andromeda will collide with the galaxy, but mainly UK, in August rather than previously thought, 4 billion years time.

[RATTER15]

Oh no!! where is my hard hat!!

[Old_Geezer]

That's ok. Most of Andromeda is "empty" space. And most of the politicians here seem similar. There'd probably be no actual contact.

What are chocolate bars doing in outer space?

Considering how Spotty Gove of the lower 5th last night, predicted cataclysmic results if we stayed in the EU, this is almost as believable.

[Old_Geezer]

I think he was basically saying you're going to get more of the same as it slowly continues to get worse.

[mikey4444]

He was talking his normal load of Tory guff.

The interviewer continually challenged him on this fictitious amount "that we send to Brussels everyday" but he refused to accept that the figure was wrong. Gove is being billed as the cleverest man in the Tory Party.....if that is so, god help the Party.

I would have thought for some on here the EU vote would be more of a quandary than it seems to be.

Ach well, at least it should be hot a sunny eh for a change...

[mikey4444]

One of the often-overlooked benefits of EU membership !

[Bazile]

Don't worry TTT , i've been tasked to lead a team of inter galaxy scientists from the United Federation Of Planets to repair the STC , if we leave the EU.

//He was talking his normal load of Tory guff.//

guff, drivel, whatever, it probably is, but it can hardly be described as tory guff - the party line is still "remain".....

[mikey4444]

Yes, you are technically correct Mush...excuse my rhetoric on this thread !

But its quite clear that the Tory Party is hopelessly split on his issue.
There is now something just short of open warfare going on and the vultures are circling in the air above Dave's head.

[Arksided]

The only trouble with the Milkyway and Andromeda collision is it's too far away to knock some sense into these politicians.

[mushroom25]

//There is now something just short of open warfare going on //

but it's not just the Tory Party, judging by what Kate Hoey was saying to the BBC yesterday. and it's not just division on party lines, even both referendum camps are divided. the whole issue - whoever it is - is unbelievably divisive.

so what chance of understanding the implications for the 60 million "know-nothings" who have been entrusted with such a monumental decision? and how is the winning side - whoever - going to ensure the near 50% of the losing population doesn't feel disenfranchised?

[mikey4444]

Mush...The other parties at Westminster may not be 100% unified on this issue, and that includes Labour, but they are not fundamentally split, in the same way as the Tories are.

I have predicted on here many times before, that Europe would the cause of the Tories tearing themselves apart, and I was right, as can be evidenced every day of this Referendum debate. It happened to Major and its happening all over again for Dave. The Tories have a wafer thin majority at Westminster, and have already lost important bills and future legislation.

This open and bloody civil war amongst the Posh Boys can only make that worse.

[Svejk]

Gawd!

[Old_Geezer]

The individual in the audience embarrassed himself be continually calling Gove's figure lies, again and again, and yet there was no evidence that, that was the case. It is generally accepted that £18B is what we annually pay gross to the EU, obviously before rebate and grant deductions, so it is a perfectly reasonable figure to quote. Sure, for the present, there is an immediate rebate of £5B so folk might consider £13B a fairer representation, but as pointed out, rebates can cease. Using that figure may mislead folk who then don't consider it is a special payment only, and may, probably at some time will, be discarded. (We also get returned about £4M of our payment back in various grants, which we could have otherwise allocate for ourselves were we not stuck in the EU.)

let's hope that Mr Scott is on hand with plenty of green stuff to feed to the andromedans......... :-)

[Gromit]

I agree that the scare stories are getting ludicrous.
But that should not detract from the reality that the Brexitters scenario for a post EU are unthoughtout, wishful thinking and blind to the dangers. We may not be killed by colliding galaxies, but the more mundane, our employment tights may suffer, if we don't lose our jobs in the first place.
