EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

[Howardh]

I'm of the opinion that we should just take the hit now and have a hard Brexit. Especially with people like Guy Verhofstdat in the EU Parliament.

No, YOU should take the hit. Leave me out of it if you don't mind.

In a democratic referendum, the electorate could easily make that choice so you should be all for that.

 

[HH]

Our friend Vladimir is pushing for a Hard Brexit. It would be poisonous to disagree.

 

[Basher]

Pack your bags and leave then !! France is that way!

When you go please check split ticketing, you might save some money to cover your costs.

As a European I'm happy living in (present day) Europe.

Those who hanker for the past need to go live in the third world, rather than forcing the rest of us to join it.

As a European I too am happy living in present day Europe which is a totally different thing than living in the EU.

 

[LOL The Irony]

Even though there have been numerous reports and impact assessments that clearly illustrate the damage that it will do to the country?
You want an economic disaster just because you don't like some foreign politicians?

Is that the royal "we"? I take it you will be quite happy to lose your job as a result? Or will it be "that person over there" that will take the hit?

2009, the UK survived the finacial crisis. The we comes as a collective of the UK. If you want to stay in the eu, move to France or any other eu member state if you wish. At the end of the day, remain lost and these are just opinions. If you really want to, we can all accept the eu's May's deal .

Cool, where do I sign up?

And I will be. I may not agree with the outcome but what goes for one should go for everyone.

What has Guy Verhofstdat done to anyone? Has he created a policy of austerity which has led to a large rise in homeless people sleeping rough, depending on food banks? Or has he shared platforms with anti-semites and terrorists? Seems like we will be still stuck with those guys even if we lose Guy.

So you admit a hard brexit would be a crisis would it? That's not what we were told by Farage etc during the referendum. During that we were promised a land of milk and honey, not a crisis.

Well we sadly can't do much about that without breaking laws and other things. The less, the better though.

There's going to be one within the next 5-10 years anyways so what's the point of going through it on someone else's terms than people we elected to run things at home?

PS: Would it surprise you if I told you I was slightly pro remain way back when in 2016?

"They'll be another financial crisis anyway, so we might as well screw ourselves up even more...."

Why should I have to move because you want to send the country into an abyss? Apart from which fact, I have a spouse with numerous health issues that I have to care for, elderly parents that also need help, and a job which won't easily transfer to another country.

Politicians, you mean? Because they're the ones responsible for the issues that trash80 raised.

Hope all you want but it's going to be May's deal or no deal. Everyone is screwed.

You want to stay, I want to leave. I'm open to suggestions if you want me to do something (within the forum rules of course).

Honesty!

So if Brexit were to be cancelled, or we leave on arrangements that are unpalatable to you, would you be moving to the US, or Australia, for example?
If not, why should I have to move away?

 

[EM2]

Correct.

 

[LOL The Irony]

That's not half bad. If everyone did that for their respective sides, May & Corbyn would have a country but nobody to govern! Win win!

 

[AM9]

.. And I will be. I may not agree with the outcome but what goes for one should go for everyone.

So there's no problem in holding a referendum on the options that are available now? With the known overall situation, voters will have a far better knowledge of the options and their implications. Democracy didn't die on 25th June 2016 so with a more informed electorate, it can serve us well now.

There is more of us leavers than you winging stayers

This pie chart begs to differ. There are actually more people who couldn't vote at the time of the referendum (like me).

 

[birchesgreen]

So what? Is that a threat? Are you planning a purge or something?

 

[Basher]

There lies, more lies, and statistics.

I just done a pole in the house and 100% are leavers. The referendum was independently counted, and give a lot more votes to leave.

A poll in my house would be 100% for remain. So what?

If you look at the statistics you'll see what while leave got the most votes it doesn't mean there are more of them than anyone else.

And what kind of Brexit do they all want?

No deal?
May deal?
Norway deal?
Switzerland deal?
Canada deal?
Turkey deal?
EEA membership?
EFTA membership?

 

[fowler9]

Apparently 52% of the population just want to bomb out of the EU so we just have to do it. Leavers aren't stupid though. No siree.
