Looks Like I Was Right All Along.....

[ToraToraTora]

here is a question I posted on the night of the referendum when I thought we would lose:
https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/News/Question1498693.html
Little did I know our gutless treacherous politicians would simply ignore the result. treason May prefers to deal with the terrorists friend agent COB to thwart democracy than her own cabinet. remoaners, enjoy your vassalage, you've earn't it.

three day week

I've had several spells of three day week since we joined the common market, EU, EEC etc, pp.

Feel free to be rude Naomi and Retro- seems to be the only thing Brexiteers are good at, because they sure as hell aren't any good at leaving Europe.

Yep.

May has given up on her cabinet, her parliamentary colleagues and her party, because they are all mad as a box of frogs.
Though I doubt Corbyn will be any help, because the parliamentary Labour Party hate him, shehas nothing to lose.

[sanmac]

Well, sitting on the sidelines listening and watching it's a real hoot seeing all you folks tearing at each other. Just glad I'm not involved...What a fiasco. Will it ever end?

No one is being rude. It is called debating a different opinion. You are crying foul now as the rest of the remainers have when they lost a democratic vote fair and square. Trouble is the remainers were so smug and cock sure they were right then it came back to bite them big time in the arris when they were proved wrong and in the minority.
We were all subject to propaganda but right prevailed after a simple decision was balloted.

[Calicogirl]

I'm quite happy to debate, but if the best people can come up with are juvenile cartoons and Naomi's unpleasant offerings then there is no serious debate to be had and I'll simply troll the bejaysus out of you because I'll tell you something, gullible little porker as you might think me or not, we ain't leaving Europe. I called it just after the referendum, and as sure as eggs is eggs we won't be. So who exactly has really been gullible?

[retrocop]

Lol

[Mamyalynne]

If you do as you've just said Calico you are playing right into their hands - ignore the bait.

[retrocop]

One doesn't appreciate satire obviously.

[Calicogirl]

Perhaps Mamya. I've said my piece on it, I can genuinely see why people are aggrieved, but if people want respect because of their hurt feelings, indignation, disappointment- call it what you like, then they have to behave like adults and decent human beings and debate it, otherwise people who think that not leaving Europe is the correct thing for the country are going to thumb their noses at them, because frankly that's exactly the level of play they have set.

[Mamyalynne]

Well, I don't quite class myself as a dinosaur but am probably on the endangered list.

I voted remain and was of course disappointed with the result, but accepting that you can't win them all.

Since that day, I haven't hollered,sulked,shouted or stamped my feet - I have gone about my day to day life like everyone else and still we wait.

I too blame no one for feeling aggrieved and/or let down.

It's a crying shame it has caused so much division.

I wish all a good night.x

[jno]

well, you've finally got what you wanted all along - a brexiter with a hand on the tiller.

What's your beef exactly?

[retrocop]

//bollouzx! complete boullooze! why doesnt someone stop him fro saying this? we werent better off - Harold Wilson had misgmanaged the economy that by 1967 we devalued by 15%
Callaghan was chancellor and said - well the pound in your pocket hasnt been devalued
and 25m voices in the country were raised in protest

balance of payments
three day week

better off is just Not True. not even near //

Can you explain why British fishingDrifters were hauled up on to the hards and bulldozed causing the loss of the British fishing industry as it was. Why we pay exorbitant prices for Hake to the French that they caught in UK territorial waters.
Why are British Farmers obliged to grow Rape in their fields because the EU do not want us to be self sufficient in grain crops that we can eat.
We don't have any use for Rape oil as a bio fuel . Another Con.
Where is the British Steel Works in Wales.
The Miners were given jobs in Honda and Nissan. Why aren;t they working for British Leyland because Honda and Nissan are jumpimg ship. We were never reliant on Japanese industry until the EU dictated what we could or not do in their interests.

[Spicerack]

I said 'The Jelly Man', retro. Did you miss it?

[retrocop]

I think I may have Spicey. :-)

[retrocop]

Got it at 0028. :-) No matter. I will probably be gone tomorrow.

[vetuste_ennemi]

The main argument for leaving was for the UK to reclaim its rights as a sovereign nation.

This basic self-respect is well understood and even approved of if it's Scotland or Montenegro "demanding" independence. Anybody want to argue with that statement?

Strangely, when the country whose post-colonial legacy has contributed so much to freedom and prosperity throughout its former empire asks via the referendum for the same we're all pith-helmeted idiots hankering after lost glories.

In fact, never once in the Leave campaign was the "imperial past" mentioned. The only hankering after the past bit was "hang about, let's make our own rules, not have them made for us by an unelected lush in Brussels".

Can the twenty year old remainer, or her god-mother expain this contradiction?

[Kromovaracun]

The principle reason she is meeting with Corbyn is to try and shift some of the blame for whatever's about to happen onto him. We're at the point where there are no possible good outcomes really: it's a choice between wrecking our economy or wrecking our politics irreparably. Just as with everything May does, it's pure cynicism.

[fiction-factory]

Maybe from May's point of view it will help identify the Labour alternative to her deal- a customs union maybe with free movement- and that could then form the basis of a general election.
