The Uk Sets Sail

[Bazile]

Now the decision has been taken to sever ties with the EU , we now set sail , like Christopher Columbus on an uncertain voyage of discovery .

What will we discover over the horizon ?

Will the 'natives' be friendly or hostile ?

//Will the 'natives' be friendly or hostile ?//

Depends, do you wish to trade or invade?

[sandyRoe]

A ship of fools?

[murraymints]

not new pastures..going home to a much loved place we used to inhabit...one where we have the control and say

[Mamyalynne]

As a great seafaring nation we may well steer a good course, let's hope we don't run aground.

[Jackdaw33]

Some of us can remember what it was like pre - 1973. The natives are friendly.

[1ozzy]

Go back far enough and you will find a lot of the natives had to be slaughtered before the last remaining few be came friendly ;-/

[Togo]

We can now plot our own course, keep an even keel, make sure that
everything is above board, and ensure that we have a chosen steady hand to man the tiller. No sailing close to the wind and batten down the hatches if the storms are heavy. Full steam ahead.

[1ozzy]

//and ensure that we have a chosen steady hand to man the tiller.//

So why have you had elections in the past?

[Togo]

Ahh but will the "natives" be friendly tomorrow oz, after Brisbane and Melbourne?

[Togo]

The thing is oz. If the man at the helm is not steering our prescribed course, we can change him. The EU is a Titanic being sailed by a hidden committee of squabbling tourists.

[1ozzy]

After Brisbane and Melbourne what Togo?

[Bazile]

We'd better post a permanent lookout in the conning tower .

[1ozzy]

Surely an elected helmsman who had "crown jewels" could steer a course.

Granted most elected members of parliament lack the prescribed body parts.

[Togo]

Feeling a bit "Moby Dick" after all the seafaring analogies. We are loving Eddie Jones though oz.
