How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

[Bodicoteblue]

It’s embarrassing that we’re seeking the help of those we turned our back on. It’s incredible, it really is.

Incredible, and entirely predictable, and widely predicted.

You are the most truculent lettuce I’ve ever encountered.

I have more fight unlike our gutless politicians

Let’s just vote to rejoin and have done with what was an horrendous mistake some of us made.

 

[Segga]

I voted for Brexit. I’m embarrassed I got drawn in by the bullshit. I’m sure if there was a vote tomorrow it would be 80% in favour of re joining.

Quite true but it is unlikely they would just let us in without lots of preconditions.

Ye could probably keep the pound but all the other preferential bullshit you got would have to go, otherwise there's no hope of getting 27 votes.

No way would it be 80%. 60% absolute tops. Some people are simply inimical to the EU, whatever the consequences. It’s a visceral thing.

inimical

Quality.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Quality.

Words are my trade, mate.

Still impressive ;-)

60 / 40 at best at the moment. To get to 80 would need an obvious realisation that Brexit is impacting daily life. The lights going out while the EU stays lit because they cooperate might do it.

I wonder how much investment is going into pie-growing research.

You can have Brexit, or you can have significant growth. You can't have both.

The bottom line is there are some people who hate foreigners so much that they would rather be poorer than be in the EU. In my view, anyone who wants their country to be poorer is a fool at best, and a traitor at worst. If you choose to make yourself poorer, for example giving up a well-paid job to be a busker, that only impacts you. If you choose to make your country poorer, that impacts every single citizen, as it means worse public services, higher taxes, or a bigger national debt. Or quite possibly, all three.

Anyway, the Government's claimed priorities are completely contradictory. It's like saying you love a woman, but you also want to kick her down the street and shag the woman she hates most in the world.

That's why I am convinced the 'growth' rhetoric is just that, rhetoric. They know their policies cannot work within the constraints they have set. They are in fact, trying to justify their policies which are about favouring the uber-rich, by claiming it will promote growth. Obviously, growth is attractive to voters, because nearly all of us want it. So it's a good con to try to work. But I might as well tell my wife that my eating strawberry jam will turn my hair dark again. It's complete bollocks, and anyone who understands reality must know it.
