I've noticed the alternative. You'd do well to do the same.Nah. Not a Socialist either. I have no party affiliation. When I voted Tory it was an internationalist, business focused party that supported our Union. Current Tory party is none of these things. Surprised you still bat for them to be honest :)

That can't right. Leave only won because the Leave camp encompassed all possible interpretations of what leave meant and were it to come down to only one version, Remain would win by a mile. Or so we're told.Almost 50/50 the UK in one poll :)

That was probably correct prior to Brexit fatigue kicking in on both sides.That can't right. Leave only won because the Leave camp encompassed all possible interpretations of what leave meant and were it to come down to only one version, Remain would win by a mile. Or so we're told.

People want this to end. Most will think this deal ends it. It doesn’t. But even with the deal in its honeymoon period its an even split and a country divided on this issue is not good news. I also think the NI arrangements are going to bugger this deal when it all comes out in the wash.
And talking of wash. The actual bill they will be voting on is published at 6.00pm tonight. Should be fun.

The real fun and games would start when we get into negotiating a free trade deal. There is a belief that we will get a FTA that basically replicates what we have now the full SM and CU membership. There would be a very rude awakening when the detail starts to emerge.

Come on Dave he shits all over Geldof, the multi millionaire remainer.
The Italian Job ace, which will now have to be remade admittedly as he wont be able to go and work there but Zulu.....its a fucking classic.

This is why any other direction other than a deal is pointless.

I wasn't playing Brexit Top Trumps, fella. I was pointing out that it's quite easy for him to say he's happy for the economy to tank when it's you and me who will take the hit.

I have to say that sort of comment from people like Caine really pisses me off. Much like some rich twat saying we should pay more taxes when such a "sacrifice" is something they'd not even notice. That is if they actually paid it, which of course half of them don't. Or lived here, for that matter.You mean "multi-millionaire Brexiteer Michael Caine".
Spot on mate
It warms my cockles to see so many of those that have been adamant in the view that the only good Brexit is a dead Brexit - now changing their positions.
I see this as a positive development for those of us that have held the line for years
I have wondered in the past whether the strength of argument has been related to just wanting to be on the winning side on an internet forum - starting to think along these lines again.
Perhaps there is a new group forming?
Maybe the collective noun for those evolving their position could be a 'Len' ;-)
Just teasing BTW - before anyone gets precious

Either way half the country is pissed off. Scotland is pissed off no matter which way and NI has seen a willingness by the English to have its economy carved out of our Union. Press the brakes or press the accelerator I reckon it’s too late no matter what we do.
The NI sell out was a big line to cross and we crossed it.

He is entitled to his view mate, as we all are.
I'm no millionaire but i think I will be ok as well so i dont need multi millionaire Bob Geldof telling me i wont.
Its probably best to also point out i think its an old quote from a few years ago but as per with the remain wheel of excuses not to leave, it keeps on spinning and the same things get trotted out.
It will have popped up on someones #FBPE twitter this morning and gone viral again for the umpteenth time.
I was always aware of short-term impact over long-term benefitBrexiteer Michael Caine declares we are better off being poorer by leaving than staying in , is this the Brexit that all 17.4 million voted for ?
I am sure many others were as well
Not sure Michael Caine is going to suffer a particularly life-changing outcome though
