With Just A Couple Of Days To Go..

[Bigbad]

…If you were asked for advice by someone who is undecided how to vote on Thursday, in as few words as possible, what would you say?

[DTCwordfan]

Jackdaw - as long as NF does not procreate, as NK has done so.....I fancy a Danish bacon butty now.

[Jackdaw33]

Charming! If that's the level of the Remain debate, roll on Friday morning!

[jambutty]

No, I won't 'come of it'. Do not tell me what to do ! I repeat good for him.

[HansUrbancka]

Anyone who thinks that the UK cannot stand alone without the EU should seriously consider taking up permanent residence on the Continent and emigrate from the Beautiful British Isles.

Hans.

[DTCwordfan]

Hans, despite your Danish credentials in the past, I will.....once the mater is 8 feet under.

dt the Cornish call the holidaymakers termites. As in when the schools are not open.
Now the question? Do you want a t*** that you can vote out every now and again, or a T*** that can have you taken out for not doing as you are told?

[DTCwordfan]

seeing I don't know what your t*** and T*** refer too, I am lost. We don't refer to tourists as termites, the word 'emmits' for what others call 'grockels'.... Togo, indeed, we have benefited from the EU enormously, but we have serious issues in balancing employment, both long and short term needs to our economy down here. The only sector that I would have sympathy for as to Brexiters is for the fishing industry - but a lot of that is controlled by one feisty Domme out of Newlyn, called Elizabeth Stevenson, and she got nailed by trying to manipulate quotas, to the tune of some 2 million ++, hardly the most pro-EU rep or Brexiter that one could have, given her legal appearances.

[Togo]

For dt. *wa*. Not you dt interpretation.

[Togo]

"Manipulating quotas"? Now where did these errm "quotas" originate? Anyone having a guess? The EUSSR tells us what species and how many fish we are allowed to harvest from our own waters.

[DTCwordfan]

well, very debatable, we wouldn't have any fish left if we had continued as before, raping all and selling it overseas, depleting our stocks - but, never mind that, the essence of our UK fishing industry is that we don't encourage UK folk to eat them and then we don't know how to market what we have, post conservation of stocks, inland or overseas.

I'm not surprised that fishing = 0.07% of the economy. Talk about stuff yourself over time up your own jacksie.

[DaisyNonna]

How other people vote is none of my business
Democratic enough for you?

[Bigbad]

Who was that barbed comment aimed at, DaisyNonna?

[jourdain2]

I give up! I sent a reasoned response not long ago. Stop quarrelling will you!

[DaisyNonna]

Nobody, just my opinion and wondered if anyone else felt the same
You being generic

[Togo]

dt you keep trotting out the less than 1% GDP of total UK economy. False figure. That is only the boat value of the fish. The infrastructure that maintained the fleet and the value to the fishing community is priceless. Then to spout that we don't know how to market the product is laughable. Then of course we need Spanish advice on fish stock preservation, the people who have reduced their own waters to barren mud ponds. When you say that the British do not eat, and cherish the bounty that our home waters provide, you are clutching at straws as you drown.

[Bigbad]

Well, my question was asking what advice you would give if you were asked, not “Do you ask other people how they will vote?”

[DTCwordfan]

Bull togo, I am quoting landed value on which GDP is based - domestic product!!! Priceless is a bit of hyperbole. My Jereboams of Heidsieck champagne are priceless, my carp are not.

[coldstream-1971]

a dirty BIG out

[Togo]

Where is the mythical link for the set in stone figures? Or the reply to the other points raised, you know... the Spanish rape of fisheries, the decimation of the fishing communities of Britain, perhaps the very idea that we can sell or indeed know how to eat fish?

[DTCwordfan]

Togo, whatever the figure, the fishing industry is a mere sprat in terms of the overall national figures. Let's have a reasoned debate around tourism that does, at least, make up 11% of GDP.
