Another new Brexit thread

[mcfc1632]

Some of us still holding our breath from a week ago on your promise to address my points on fishing.

Now we can hold our breath again for the secret negotiations logic to be revealed. Dan Brown could write this.

You can hold your breath for a very long time - as I try to avoid posting where it means interacting with you

And yet again you twist the words of others

I said that I would respond to another poster - most certainly not you

I said that I would respond to another poster - most certainly not you

But you didn't respond to that poster - who'd asked what was flawed in what I'd said.

But you know that.

Why would I respond in a manner that would indulge you?

You didn't respond at all, after you promised another poster.

Just on half-term parental duties for a while - will explain later

But answer came there none.

Or indeed the reality that the tide is coming in and can't be stopped ;-)

Canute isn't an insult as you assume

King Canute: 1016-1035

Who was King Canute and did he really believe he could control the tide? We tell the story of one of the most infamous Kings of England

"In fact, a 12th-century record shows Canute to be a far wiser man than legend suggests. Far from believing he could control the tides, Canute’s objective was much more logical. He was trying to demonstrate to his courtiers that secular force is futile in comparison with God’s supreme powers"

The hilariousness of it all as though anybody is under any illusions that we lost the Brexit vote. Seems to be a bit of denial from the other side about how well the leaving process is going and how easy it is to do a deal.

If only that were true, we have been hearing for nigh on 5 years that if you add up all the losers it means they’re the winners.

I'm 6 miles from a farmer here in Dumfries and Galloway. Every year, £2.1M in CAP payments for fuck all. He buys himself yet more land and enriches himself.

The CAP is reason enough to vote leave.

Farmers’ £3 billion support confirmed in time for 2020

The Chancellor has today confirmed nearly £3 billion of funding for 2020 to support farmers once the UK leaves the EU.

I think some are are going to lose their shit whatever happens given they cant even get their heads around the basic facts. John Redwood the other day saying the majority of people think no deal is the best out come.



Reality is that 50% of people think we were wrong to vote to leave the EU and only 38% now thing we were right to vote to leave.

Wouldn't be a bad idea for our media to start holding politicians to account like that more often. Doesn't need to descend into shouting, just a clear clarification that what they've said is a lie.

If I had a £ for every time I have observed that 'anecdote' misunderstood

You clearly missed what I thought was a rather obvious point within by earlier post

So the "reply later, I'm parenting" post was just stalling.

I doubt he's genuinely forgotten like it's a late piece of homework. I'd imagine he's decided to fuck it off.

It’s a good thing to hide under lockdown stories and the US election

Doubt he has forgotton, he’s a man that hides in fridges, so just ignoring a problem hoping it just disappears it highly likely.

He's likely been informed a bill isn't anything until it's an act. No-one has told Ursula as yet though.
