Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Dil still in a Brexit dream world.
Talking of Hush Puppie man he seems to be one of the very few Tories talking sense these days on Europe.

Someone has to pay their inflated salaries. Now who agreed to that latest round of pay increases or do they just self award? You wonder if they look out of their ivory towers of Babel and notice what is happening on the streets.

Your Babbel sounds like the present tory or neo-con party:
"According to the story, a united humanity in the generations following the Great Flood, speaking a single language and migrating eastward, comes to the land of Shinar (שִׁנְעָר). There they agree to build a city and a tower tall enough to reach heaven. God, observing their city and tower, confounds their speech so that they can no longer understand each other, and scatters them around the world."

How many of the present tory "grandees" are squirrelling their already ill-gotten cash abroad at the moment and already shorting the UK?

No defence of their "own limited" low life standards as usual by the Tories Fred.

Au contraire Stan, I think it's morally reprehensible irrespective what party they belong. I was squaring matters with your blinkered buddy who choses to castigate anything Tory and ingratiate anything Labour.
Regarding low life standards, I have to say you seem extremely well versed.

George If you can't post without resorting to innuendos and personal insults then it's a sad day for you.

The beauty of it all is that I expect once the 29th March has passed and we have left the EU - we will all be one again be on the same side, having left this factitious debate behind us, moving on to make Britian Great again.

Ct, yeah we'll all be bosom buddies again, it may take some remoaners a long time but once they see how well this country performs outside the EU they'll come round.

Alf's bluff called and now lying low, George making things up again and CT using the words "Great again" indicating him living in some sort imaginary past....Once an outsider always an outsider maybe you should all join CC and Jimmy Jumper in exiting the UK.
Think Mr and Mrs E/L have already gone... from Northamptonshire and can't blame them for that.
Can I suggest somewhere like Australia where all the other convicts were sent..when we were great I believe 😆
..And as for Dil I think he might be happier in Northern Ireland where he can support another Duff football team 😎
Edit:
Oops nearly forgot Max, in his case he can stay for now..but only now whilst he is under review.

Thing is at last TM seems to have got the message that 52%+ of the people will back her to the hilt if she stands fast and makes Brexit mean Brexit with a Clean Break.
In fact I think she will see off JC with his Cabbage Ears to his Veg Garden for good, as Team Labour will turn on him after 29 March.

starting from the premise that country voted to leave eu and that is what needs to be delivered in some format, i have read a story that suggests TM will ask parliament to vote on all sorts of variations to her deal that have been requested - but probably not 2nd referendum
the purpose would be to make MP's stand up and be counted for their own ideas, instead of just opposing, and to show that none of the alternatives commands a majority, leaving (she hopes) her own deal as the only one left standing
the above may all be garbage and misinformation of course

Don't worry about Georgie, consider him as really a little darling in disguise.

The problem with the border with Ireland will still remain, deal or no deal with the EU, so that has to be sorted out. If it can be then a major obstacle with the current EU deal will have been removed.
Interesting to note that in future EU citizens, not already with settled status, will need to be on jobs paying more than £30k to work in the UK. I wonder what rules will apply to non EU migrants.

Any of the gammon on here called Robert?
:o)
A caller to James O’Brien’s radio show has claimed he voted for Leave so that he can continue to use three-pin plugs in the UK.
Robert from Rochester called the LBC radio phone-in programme to give his verdict on a second referendum.
However when it came to asking why the caller was so incensed on ensuring the UK leaves the European Union, he was struggling to explain the benefits.
“I won a slap in the government’s face...” he said, before O’Brien pointed out that government had now gone.
The caller continued: “I won a vote to Leave the EU.”
As he continued to bluster, the only tangible benefit he could name was that we would be able to continue to use three-pin plugs.
“One of the ones for me is the plug system... we obviously use the three-pin in this country. The EU don’t,” Robert told O’Brien.
“So basically it means our safety aspects are a lot stronger than the generalisation of the EU.”
A baffled O’Brien pointed out we are still in the EU already - and we still have three-pin plugs.
“So you think we have to leave the EU to get three-pin plugs? What can we do now with plugs that we can’t do as members – what did you win?”
“Compliancy to British law,” Robert responds. “So when you bring something into this country, it has to comply to the UK.”
“That what happens already – that’s why we’ve got three-pinned plugs!” said the exasperated presenter.
Concluding the call, O’Brien told Robert: “You’ve come live on national radio. You’ve described yourself as a Brexiteer, you’re getting told off by your mum in the background, and when I’ve asked you what you think you’ve won, you said the right to three-pin plugs that we already have.”

Let Ireland build a hard border if they want one, otherwise make no changes - as face recognition can be used at all ports that service the Mainland, and leave anyone that is considered undesirable in N.I. effectivly free movement in the whole of Ireland. Problem Solved. :-)
