Political relations between UK-EU

[ganganvince]

Philistines also - and of course clearly not qualifying as being amongst "....most thinking adults...."

TBF - I have found these threads have helped with my self-awareness over the years....

I have been made more and more aware of my many limitations and character flaws

It has helped me enormously and - should I ever again get the opportunity to vote in a 2nd referendum on EU membership - I have been fully convinced to vote Remain by the compelling nature of the arguments set out

Seeing as the act of leaving is complete could we not rename remainers and leavers as loosers and winners

Gibraltar now the Falklands - is there nowhere that they decided they didn't give a fuck about?

I don't mind someone not knowing who one of the world's leading musicians is. The comments are against making a virtue of not knowing who he is in order to dismiss his views.

The leavers have gone for culture buffs and wine drinkers. Sod any concern for the fishermen ...

Perfectly put and it’s seemingly much easier to belittle the plight of wine sellers who presumably sell their wares to the liberal, metropolitan elite than salt of the earth fishermen. Either way real people lose their livelihoods

Is that the start to one of simons tunes?

Rattle and Hmmmmm.

You must have heard of that album.

You must have heard of that album.

And Rattlesnakes

Not seen any evidence that anyone’s won any benefits. As for loosers, are they people that set things loose?

........You are a bit paranoid about what remainers think about the rest of you (leavers) or just mistaken. I’m happy to assume you have a broad range of interests and glad to hear we have in common not listening to grime and supporting City. Have you though heard of the grime artist Rattling Simon?

I think that he is neither paranoid nor mistaken

Afterall, he has the evidence of years and very many posts (including a few today) to draw upon

And of course - I would guess if it was possible to have a poll between Leavers (not because most have given up in the face of......) - I am strongly of the opinion that he would be in a clear majority with his views

Sarcasm I hope, as 27 other borders are established in return.

What do you reckon? :)

In isolation the news is good for Gibraltar, its people and its economy, including the Spanish town on the other side.

The fact it imposed borders and trade barriers for the rest of us, well we are seeing the results of that genius decision everyday.

I have heard it, you too?

I found this Guardian article quite helpful in understanding the additional costs for small business exporting to the EU.

Shock Brexit charges are hurting us, say small British businesses

Levies to cover the increase in red tape, VAT and customs declarations are hitting trade to the European Union

www.theguardian.com

 

[BobKowalski]

what good are opportunities in the future for businesses that have long since gone under and disappeared?

The denial is strong with the Propaganda Minister this morning.

Mind you, we can’t keep denying the existence of trade borders and their effects for ever. Barely two weeks in and we‘re all over the place. Give it another month and Brexit diehards will be celebrating the closures of British businesses on the grounds they were ‘elitist’.

 

[BobKowalski]

Gibraltar now the Falklands - is there nowhere that they decided they didn't give a fuck about?

Judging by the fate of NI and Gibraltar, we will have flogged the Falklands to Argentina by June.

 

[mcfc1632]

You take ‘comfort’ in businesses, especially small businesses, struggling to cope with the extra administrative burdens and costs of Brexit?

Don't deliberately twist the words of other people Bob - it is out and out deceitful - but you are not alone on here

I clearly did not say that

 

[mcfc1632]

Both as an outcome of voting Conservative.

Let me try and help:

The Conservative Party/Government | Page 1036 | Bluemoon - the leading Manchester City forum (bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk)

 

[mcfc1632]

Maybe you should have said nothing rather than show yourself up as being clueless.

@Tb1981

So - we need to try and keep up with the Remainer bingo card for 2021

Thick and Racist - seem to have been dropped (soooo 2017 afterall)

There is a whole new set of insults for this year it seems

Bit of a bummer for the Malvinas!

 

[mcfc1632]

It must be me. I thought most thinking adults would have a rounded interest in music and the arts. He will be telling us he hasn’t heard of Monet next ;-)

I would suspect the number of people who have heard of Simon Rattle would be closer to 50 out of a hundred but @mcfc1632 will be able to give us an idea from his very representative poll of 23 probably normal people.

You are a bit paranoid about what remainers think about the rest of you (leavers) or just mistaken. I’m happy to assume you have a broad range of interests and glad to hear we have in common not listening to grime and supporting City. Have you though heard of the grime artist Rattling Simon?

So - is it most thinking adults or 50/100 - we need to be told the truth of it guys. Being clueless, uncultured and uneducated (just todays selection) - you cannot expect us to think for ourselves

 

[Vic]

From Brum? He'll have heard of Rattle.

 

[BobKowalski]

Don't deliberately twist the words of other people Bob - it is out and out deceitful - but you are not alone on here

I clearly did not say that

You took ‘comfort‘ in the current level of trade disruption. Business unable to move goods and/or paying additional costs.

It is literally what you said.
