When you throw a bucket of shit at the wall some will stick. 

Fair point. It is interesting that he believes that anything that’s improved has been driven by the EU. Quite bizarre to have the mindset that the EU are behind all that’s good

Much of that can’t be included as “stronger”, which I’m sure you know.

And, others we don’t yet know if they are “better”

I will acknowledge what many Brits enjoyed and saw as a main benefit of being in the EU; travel and living anywhere across the EU.

We can still travel & live there, where the fuck does it say you can’t.

You will be surprised if there’s no deal because you’ve been telling us for 4 years that it’s nailed on

I think they’ll move on this and a deal will be agreed if we stay firm.

The lads still grieving, bet his Twitter handle contains FBPE. 😂

All this 6th strongest nation stuff

Hands up who thinks China and Russia give a fuck if we are weaker?

putin will be laughing his cock off as it is, given the disarray on his doorstep.

The chinks are unlikely to be shitting themselves at our “independence “.

The US will continue to pat us on the head like the loyal pet we are and throw us the scraps.

I think Rees-Mogg probably called it right.

Not often I agree with much fartelli says but some of that is correct tbf 

He keeps going on about environmental stuff.

Much of this heavily involved uk input to create. However other nations' interests conflicted - they've just agreed more emissions reductions which involve yet more money to Poland by means of compensation for the effect on their coal industry. 

From what I understand, we already have higher standards in some cases than the EU, and now we're out are forging ahead with other schemes.

Not once has he recognised that the UK is a leader (not perfect) in this area, but instead suggests its the EU that keeps us in line and stops us regressing. 

We all know that membership has benefits, however it has down sides- and he typically never acknowledges it.

Depends how long you want to spend there doesn’t it?

And the notion that our kids and grandkids will benefit.

If it takes us 10 years to return the country to the prosperity we had, what use is that ? It means a generation of kids will have spent their childhoods with parents struggling like fuck as we get through “the short term pain”

Not sure how grateful they’ll be

As ever, I get the distinct impression that most Brexit fanatics have grown up kids, no mortgage, a fat pension pot and are happy to sit back and watch every other cunt deal with this.

EU funded research- money from where?

Such funding can still be achieved without the need for membership- we're seeing plenty of cross nation collaboration currently. 

Security: a great benefit. Why not actually expand access and let other nations contribute and benefit without being members? Cutting off access resembles a kid taking his ball home- I'm fairly sure this will be sorted separately in the event of a no deal.

Already have interpol, five eyes etc.

Mounts that fucking blonde cunt will sell us down the Swanee -we need a compromise - the likes of Spider and his employees will be fucked if wiffwaff continues his course.

He’s got good experienced negotiators working with him, and experienced MPs who’ve dealt with the EU to lean on, you have to hope they play a pivotal role in making sure that he doesn’t make a mistake in extra time.

Given how liberal they seem to be, I doubt they'll be grateful at all

The chances of them going on to have a mortgage and a fat pension pot are astronomical at this point, a generation waiting to inherit

Are you 100% confident that we'll stand firm?

Are we definitely going to be poorer? 

Short to medium term yes. I am yet to read anything that states going WTO wouldn't be harmful to us economically. It of course would also hit the EU too, hence the negotiations. To flip it, do you think everyone is making all this effort to keep us all poorer?

So, we might not be in the longer term?

I don't undertand the question. I expect people are doing what they need to?

I've always said it will work out fine for us economically.

When?

Asking for my kids.

How are pensions actually performing right now? This is your area and probably a reasonable barometer of what to expect? (I still need to sort mine by the way!!!)

BD you know the score.

We're fucked.
