Give over, we're way beyond that. We've made a decision and now we have to make it work

So it can still work then?  Just what with all these apocalyptic scenarios I keep reading about, I wonder why we're still going through with it.

I’m not saying this is going up to end well in saying this. But I will share with anyone the financial forecasts,on a worst case basis, of some of the largest and most successfull companies in the Uk. They predict doomsday. They are not reflective of how the business is expected to perform. But they are deemed prudent so all risks can be identified. 

these are what the media have essentially got hold of.

Hasn't the ex PM of Australia said that the "Australia type deal" is actually a bit shit, and we should "be careful what you wish for"

.......and when did we decide v to change it from WTO to an "Australia deal" I presume that's just to make it sound more palatable

Yeh the same as “independent coastal state” sounds better than “despot”.

Sweeps just a snobbish wanker that hates carveries.

He was given a remit. He works for the EU27 not the UK.

He is their project manager, non?

[Spider]

I know a lad who’s a landscaper

Not the sharpest tool in the box but done ok for himself.

He’s very open about the fact that he thought Brexit would stop every immigrant coming to the UK. It’s why he voted for it.

When asked about the deal, his exact words were “that’s got fuck all to do with me, so long as it stops the dingys (sic.)”

We all want different things

His remit was to protect the integrity of the EU free trade agreement, job done.

I was of course being a tad flippant yesterday. Of course £80K is not fuck all, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not a big wage. My point is, you're never going to attract the best paying that kind of wage, and surely we want "the best" or close to it running or country.

I agree, we are very services oriented as a nation now, but we're not gong to massively change that now. I supply to an electronic manufacturing base, so I'd love to see an increase, but it's not going to happen to a large extent.

 For the record, I don't have a basic salary of £80K either 😁

Basic. Are you smelling tax man bacon haha

How is leaving the EU going to stop people trying to cross the channel?  In fact, we have already left and the amount of folk crossing is higher this year than any previous year.

Are you suggesting plan b may be a bit shit? I find that hard to believe.

Because - he says - that was what Nigel Farage said leaving was all about.

Basically, he’s heard the phrase “ending free movement” and assumed it means immigration will stop completely and he’ll be better off.

He’s a bit racist, to be fair.

While I couldn’t agree less with him, fair play. He was given his vote, chose it and has been honest about it. Like you say everyone wants different. For me the dingy thing was maybe the last thought I had when voting.

Ah yes, the blatantly racist Breaking Point poster. Farage is such a cunt.

I have a friend who says he's 'only racist against Muslims' but then on the other hand says 'how can you call me racist, because Muslim isn't a race' 🙂

He's a nice lad in reality but he's not the sharpest tool in the box either.

Get him signed up to this place then. He will fit in a treat with me ,RW , mounts et al. Just get him assessed by the kangaroo court judges and away we go job done

I think this type of retort leads to another day of going round in circles rather than debating anything. For clarity I include remoaners/bedwetters in this.
