    Brexit, for once some facts.

    well in my area bakers are very caring (and make good croissants, which is a bonus). Clearly you know nothing about the UK's demography/ageing population. Nor has it occurred to you that germany shouldered most of the burden of greece's massive bailout. Sure it was to pay euro banks based in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    some of the skilled coming to the uk have values and ideas about redistribution and fairness - and dont support the concept of a UK sponging off the rest of the world without giving anything back. I suspect many of us who feel this way may have voited remain. Unfortunately for the die hard...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I find it astonishing (to put it very mildly) that anybody can't see brexit is an extremely bad idea short term (I don't want to repeat the current account deficit issue, but its really at the heart of the truth about the UK economy - it is under productive and utterly reliant on foreign...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    how to explain to an anglo saxon life isn't only about relative deprivation, competition and exploitation? to me your opening sentence ("Why are you here?") summarises much of the culture of this little island that fuelled brexit (as a rather sad expression of morbid self-interest meet...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This rambling is infectious Brendan. I was about to say I come from a sunny, impoverished bit of the EU, and its surprisingly good there (none of the plastic chaired prostitutes flud has such compelling fantasies about). I'd have no reservations going back there. Perhaps lower income,but frankly...

    Clearly you haven't spent the past ten years in the same constitutional monarchy/Westminster system as me.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    if nothing else brexit has made me fall head over heels in love with the incestuously corrupt form of plutocratic parliamentary BS and building of islands in duck ponds in UK. It is so much better than direct democracy (and I really mean it).

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    apologies for rather obvious link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norway%E2%80%93European_Union_relations but oddly Norway have a very similar political discourse around joining than UK (urban rural division, even down to 52/48% ration in election in 94). unfortunately we've rogered ourselves and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    "brexit means soft brexit" in this case I think. there's a whole range of possible brexits, of which to state the obvious the markets think Norway plus is most likely.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I sincerely disagree. For me the insults invariably start with a brexitter,usually brendan,not being able to argue a point factually,rationally and engaging in the kind of name calling and trolling i havent experienced since kindergarten. If it wasnt so absurd, and refreshing to have flashbacks...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    now that weve dodged the mother of all bullets (and managed not to rocket the titanic straight through the iceberg) a bit of me thinks it could have been interesting (if one had enormous colei) to have leadsom as prime minster, take the country to the very brink of all kinds of unthinkable...
