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....

Fred, you could also be correct about the Masons and in response to hils, while the Channel Islands are Crown Dependency as you say, they are as entwined in the UK more deeply than almost any other part of the British Islands. The Islands are nothing more than a can of worms, that the UK Government collaborates with, to ensure that matters that would cause a public outcry are contained in the Islands.

Look back into the days of the troubles in Ireland, and see where business was done with the IRA - Not long ago it was reported that Russian Oligarchs were laundering their money through the Islands, and given residential status thus I expect becoming entitled to UK passports. How many Arabian Skiekhs turn up with pots of money on their private jets, to work into the system with the full knowledge of the UK and EU - hence the reason some countries have the Islands on their Black Lists of Tax Havens.

No matter how Brexit works out, the Channel Islands will be a Special Case and all parties will work out a deal that allows the Islands a Special Status - Something that they agree with easy but have trouble doing so when it comes to the Irish situation.

Ask yourself, why is it that the EU and the UK can agree these matters but cannot sort out the boarder issues?

Stan,

OR TORY CHAOS.

No deal means no fruit and veg according to the supermarkets.

Well that's really going to piss the Scots off isn't it :-)

Anyone happen to know where Mars Bars are made?

I think their shelf life is a bit longer than a tomato or sprout so essentials like Mars bars won't be affected.

What about the eggs for their batter?

What "surprises" me is how many "little englanders" and a tiny "little weshman" want the "independence" or "imaginary self-rule" from the EU, but at the same time refuse the Scots and NI their independence.

We got loads of them but if we start running short they'll just have to eat the bloody Mars bars raw like the rest of us.

Fred . Scotland and NI don't want independence so they have been refused nothing.

Strange that eh Fred. And I thought it was the Scots and NI had both voted to stay them selves. But if it is otherwise I bow to your greater knowledge

Sorry Dil for butting in. You carry on making a fool out of him..

You really need to keep up with things Fred.

I dont think the tiny little wee shman or the little englanders have ever denied the Scots or NI their independence, big Fred. The Scots had their referendum. Like the Brexit referendum, they voted sensibly. Unlike you who sits at home and hums and haws whatever other people have decided.

I try M , but he does a better job on himself than I could ever manage.

So true Dil. Out of the mouths of fools and Fred etc etc

The remaining Chuckle brother is looking for a new partner Fred.

Fancy getting out for a an hour or two each day ?

Have a referendum in Scotland and probably NI now, and if Brexit goes through in any recognisable form!

Martiini,

You shouldn't try to stir those few little grey cells that have left so much.

Bad for you.

Not what you said originally and I have always been happy for them to have a referendum on independace and preferably to go their own way, but they keep hanging on to the apron strings.

Hils , how's your Brexit charts looking these days ?

Tic toc.

worth watching parliament live on the box
for a change, the debate is interesting, and the end result unknown
