Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
Export cauliflowers - just after the crop has been severely affected by "extreme weather".Boris Johnson pitches pork pie and cauliflower export deal to Donald Trump
Ah reminds me off The Good Life* once we leave the EU - We can trade are allotment produce with the US in exchange for his surplus 'invading border migrants' to pick our cauliflours and man our Pork Pie factories.
Surprised BJ hasn't made the BBC show this golden oldie TV series as a repeat as a metaphor for the optimistic 'taking back control' theme.
* "Opening with the midlife crisis of Tom Good, a 40-year-old London plastics designer, it relates the joys and miseries he and his wife Barbara experience when they attempt to escape modern commercial living by "becoming totally self-sufficient" in their home in Surbiton."

Shows a PM with finger on the pulse, well briefed and up-to-date. (No, of course not. Cauliflowers and pork pies aren't pulses. I have no idea about his underwear. And definitely not up-to-date.
)
He’s winding you up. Contrary to popular belief fingers isn’t stupid. He knows very well that there is nothing to be gained from Brexit, and the evidence for that statement comes from the fact that he is completely unable to suggest a single Brexit benefit.
The problem is, you bite and engage him. If you must respond, just ask him to state the benefits of Brexit. He can’t answer, he knows as well as you do, there is no benefit.
Talk about not being able to take in facts, it is happening here just the same.
My goodness what does it take to get the message across?
Reality will make itself felt.
And if anyone believes you can ignore at least half the voting population, make their lives worse, and they will be of a forgiving frame of mind, they are seriously deluded.
I do keep asking him, and never get a reply, but he does a grand job of making leave supporters look clueless, so I encourage him.
Have a go at the "advantages of Brexit" in your own words (that would be novel)
And how do you work out that Boris represents me in any way because he was picked by some Tory clowns and only has a majority of one?
Boris represents only Boris, and he's cocking that up too.
Come on then since even Boris doesn't have a clue what he either wants or can get, what's in it for you?
You must be hard up to be happy with what is being done in your name.
So much for Parliament approving a "No Deal Brexit"
If Boris pushes one through they can revoke it.
It's merely facts.
He represents us because he is our prime minister.
It's not a trick G. It's simple facts.
He is your champion. Like it or not.
They don’t need any help, they manage quite nicely by not being able to state a single benefit of Brexit.
How can we know till we’ve left?
It might well be worse. But we don’t know.
We do know that the EU growth is shrinking. We do know that the Euro is under huge pressure with more pressure to come.
We do know that the Euro zone is going to become ever closer and will soon have the scenario in the round after this where the ECB will give countries their own budget from a central fund. We do know that because of this we currently sit out of 40% of meetings. Which will only grow.
We are being left behind of the project already.
All most folks in this country want is easy tourism and trade.
We are paying a lot of money for something we are not really part of. And will become less part of as the project rumbles on.
The sticking plaster will have to ripped off at some point. Might as well be sooner rather than later.
So chuck your job in on 31st Oct, go self-employed and ply your trade with US companies...
I'm already self employed.
I wouldn't mind doing a bit for CNN tbh. Haven't really got much spare capacity for new clients ATM. But I have thought about it. A lot.
When I buy my new house I will definitely look into growing some proper British vegetables.
It's a good idea.
Thank you wicky. You're not normally so kind. I'm guessing you are happy because of the cricket.
