Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Fred.
The €U charges apply to goods going both ways: Hence the surcharge that stopped the Brazilian hovercraft deal going through.

Max,
As I have posted W/S.
One of my daughters trades successfully in and out of the EU. She applies or negotiates the regulations.
Seems to be doing well.

Dumbo,
Approximately 37.5% of the UK electorate voted for out.
Are all those who voted to stay or didn't vote (approx. 62.5% ) stupid?
You are entitled to your convictions, so are others equally right to differ.
However, it seems to many that the motivation of many of those voting for out seems to many to be questionable and often base on publicised falsehoods.
Again, it seems to me that one is swapping one set of rules and regulations for another unnegotiated set.
I think the UK economy amounts to less than 5% of world GDP.
Its influence on EU regulations is likely to be greater than on world trade tariffs, regulations, rules, etc.
Trading with the bigger EU block will probably be more attractive than a smaller UK.
Mind Russia may be happy to see a weaker EU.
We will have to W/see.

little fred, you can post as many times as you like with %figures which suit
YOUR 'argument', but the FACTS REMAIN THAT 52% voted to LEAVE the EU,
And that's what Thersa May has stated on several occasions now that...
BREXIT MEANS BREXIT!!!...And that it will be achieved without the need for
free labour movement

"those voting out seems to many to be questionable and often base on
publicised falshhoods"
You notice little fred NEVER refers to the WW3, financial collapse, or the
many other scaremongering and fear tactics that the remainers used.
What about those voters who voted to remain based on these outrageous
spurious claims, who would, having discovered that the world isn't going to
end anytime soon vote differently in another vote...
As to Russia might be happy too see a weaker EU...
Russia will be laughing their fricking socks off at the thought of an EU army...

You may have noticed that the USA is slowly withdrawing from being the "World Policeman".
Mind it would be nice to have Donald's finger hovering over the button. (NATO's)

a person who is honest and speaks the truth ,people who use the racist card to attack a honest person is the true racist

and what is "the truth" in your definition?
would "intentionally and likely to cause offense to others" be a reasonable synonym for "racist"?

nope - and nor am i personally offended by very much
however, i do not see why i should not find some of the brazen bigotry displayed on this thread as crass and downright ignorant .....
one might have hoped for better, but i am made sadly aware all too often how such prejudices are still so ingrained even in those whose education should have opened their minds

Exec,
I hope you had the P73708 correct way round.
Perhaps if you put it through a nostril you may get a better response.

Well if you do wear a safety pin and you do start getting hugs from immigrants,
check you've still got your wallet, watch, gold teeth, heart pace maker and
underpants(clean) afterwards...Dear me, is that generalising!!!
And I don't think you'l get many leggy eastern european ladies in the jungle,
they wouldn't last long if you did.

cynic 73707, no i'm not a fan of Trumps, but neither am i a fan of Clinton.
There was a piece on Trump doing the baby kissing politician palava shown
on news this morning, and Trump looked really awkward attempting to kiss
a little black girl aged about 7/8..

that was not the point as well you know
however, i do feel very sorry for the americans who have a the choice between two people neither of whom should ever be president .......
no doubt fred will now come in with his two-penn'th, but at least the system in uk is far more democratic, albeit in a somewhat idiosyncratic way
