That is true apparently. There are two alternatives. 1. They were really playing a very smart game of misdirection or 2 when the unexpected and unthinkable happened they found an upside... just as Henry 8th did.....
Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
You mean the Public didn't check what they were getting into?
Now who's fault was that?
let me guess.... and now because it is convenient for you to do so you have decided in their absence they would have been against the idea?
Perhaps, contrary to your belief they were less gullible than modern people, actually checked the facts and approved?
Actually you mean Con men have convinced you that this was all a plot, and told you how bright you are to have woken up at last.
Tell me, since you could easily have checked the facts at that time, why didn't you?
or was it that you believe you are not now being conned, but you were back then?
How Gullible is that?
No it's just as Tom pointed out the EU had fingered their collective collars over Tax evasion Dodges so they wanted out before the blow fell on their necks.
I suspect that the population at large would have been informed at a much faster rate had that been the case?[/QUOTE]
Informed as in interred?
If Tom was a great advert for leaving, how come you are still here?
Just kidding there's always room for a masochist (Sorry Brexiter) on here, and now you have a Friend too.
Doesn't that give you a warm and cuddly feeling inside?
Still, on Balance tillson is still the Main man on your style, he ticks all the right boxes, he's a really class opponent.
Compared to his Siberian Tiger, you two are pussy cats.
But let me say here and now I'm a big fan of cats...
And I've got the scars to prove it
Can I have a Firkin of Ale please ?
How we ever came up that is a mystery
"1 firkin = 0.25 barrel = 9 imperial gallons = 10.8 U.S. gallons = 41 litres.
Someone must have been F****n about at the time I reckon.
I prefer the Conspiracy theory that the Houses of Parliament had been attacked by a Stealth Drone that dropped a WMS weapon on them
(Weapon of Mass Stupidity)
Boris and Gove and Jackass and several others are still suffering the long term after effects.
I have heard this repeated so often now that I'm beginning to wonder if it will ever really happen. It seems to be that the only victory possible for the clowns who have pushed us into this mess will be to accept a 'Brexit' 'halfway house', so soft as to make no significant difference to our current t&c, except we will have no say in how EU matters progress and will empty treasury coffers one way or another.
The 'Brexidiots' will be livid if we still need to defer to the ECJ and still accept FOM.
Alternatively, crashing out with no deal will be so bad that come the following GE, the tories will be ravaged and ousted from seats all across the nation, never to be in power again for a generation or more.
Everyone must have noticed by now how incredibly downplayed by the major media were Lord Kerr's comments yesterday about our PM being totally wrong to contend that because we have activated A50, there is no turning back - that reversal is not possible.
That is controlled news and like fake news, is all part of the long-running tory propaganda war to ensure the electorate gets only the message they want you to hear, rather than the truth.

Have you ever been in a pub, if so why was that - scientific reason perhaps, surely not for fun?Can I have a Firkin of Ale please ?

"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." (Hitchhikers again)
You can change the words to suit but it won't change the result.
Indeed. Lord Kerr is undoubtedly right, the EU and all its member countries would be very happy for us to abandon our Article 50 intentions and stay a member. No matter what the rules say, they'd metaphorically screw up our A.50 notice and throw it in the bin.
I'm betting that also includes the continuation of our rebate, such would be the relief at our reversal.
.
As I have stated on a number of occasions previously , I think your Lord Kerr has got it wrong, and it is wishful thinking.
Once article 50 was enacted, all initiative was lost by the UK. I can accept fleccs argument that the EU might be willing to tear up the application for secession, but it is not a foregone conclusion, and it would only need one awkward customer ..say Poland, Romania say or Hungary .. far away so not likely to suffer much impact to put the kibosh on it..
Need I remind people that the acceptance of terms is currently by qualified majority of the EU parliament where as scrapping the procedure would be by unanimous agreement . Otherwise the UK would need to plead at the ECJ... that would go down well in Suderland

What we certainly don't want to do is find out!
Well done, you just destroyed your own argument, the public voted the other way, didn't they?

Technically it looks as though he is wrong. But practically he is absolutely right as I posted on this link.
