Another new Brexit thread

[kevin horlocks wand]

I think that’s when things will start getting a bit difficult for the government. They’re in a honeymoon period, but that’s unlikely to last long. Once the initial “euphoria” (for Leavers, at least) of exiting the EU subsides, the inevitable reality that things aren’t actually going to improve for the vast majority of people, and quite probably will get worse, will kick in. Suspect the Tories won’t be too concerned, as they have five unobstructed years in power ahead of them, but disillusionment with the political system is only likely to grow.

like the disillusionment with the political system that people felt when parliament refused to implement a democratic vote of the United kingdom and do all they can to block it.

so much disillusion was felt in the political system by many life long labour voters that they decided the only thing they could do was vote Conservative for the first time in their lives and give a very poor Tory government an 80 plus majority.

that’s what disillusionment can do.

'Politicians who fought to remain find it deeply inappropriate.'
Do they really, well fighting to overturn democracy was a little bit more than inappropriate, and as for the
bitter loser who expected the top job after knifing Thatcher, well, lets never stop rubbing his nose in it.

Again, I will enjoy my bendy bananas, blue passports, Rule Britannia, Union Jack and what ever other stereotypical leaver bashing bullshit you tend to churn out.

In reality, i'll look at how trade deal talks progress with the EU, other European nations, the United States, former Commonwealth partners etc and "endure" a period of calm in British politics now that the dummy chuckers have been silenced.

I do lament buying all that Spam though.

Fuck - but Friday seems to have been a great day to have been too busy to come on here.

Well done once again for the level of patience and calm you have demonstrated in all these exchanges I have read as catching up - especially in the face of what seems to have been a concerted attempt to bait you.

What the exchange did evidence though is the extent that some on here will go to in their desperation and denial to insist that all Leavers are ignorant and that the future of the UK is doomed

I don't want to leave but have been resigned to it since 24/6/16. The biggest issue was the fucking nonsensical delay that revealed what a fucking joke it was.

I am glad you are elated and I hope the consequences for you are not as bad as they will be for most.

I don't believe you;-)

Or at least, if that is true you have a very strange way of purporting yourself on here

This is an interesting look back on the UK in the EU, albeit from a strongly Remain stance, in the Sunday Guardian AKA The Observer...

I didn’t say that people weren’t already disillusioned with the political system, merely that it’s only likely to grow.

I mean. Do you think anyone actually cares about this point you keep making over and over and over and over again ???

why do you keep repeating this constantly.

Well I do not know about everybody - but you seem to clearly take it to heart - so that is at least one person

For anyone who is interested in fish see the first 5 mins...........then think what happens when we leave....when we have queues at the ferry crossings with fresh fish on board.. when we have tariffs..when we have 4 inshore fisheries protection vessels to protect ALL our coastline from illegal immigrants and encroaching foreign fishing vessels...

I did not bother to watch but I can glean the content from your post - so a quick question to you......

What do you suggest could be the/a solution? or what actions do you think could/should be taken?

We should join a Europe wide trade bloc that eliminates trade barriers and creates a single market allowing countries within that bloc to sell goods and services across borders as if they didn’t exist. We should also create a common currency to eliminate unnecessary currency exchanges and transactions and also allow people to move and work freely within that market.

Just a thought.
