PM Boris

Re: PM Boris
Some people. Not "the" people. Not the country. Not the nation. Just over a third. Some people. Some people outnumbered by almost 2-1.
It had nothing to do with manufacturing standards, visas, the pound etc but everything to do with whether they felt the EU and politics in general was doing anything to make their life better.
All of those 37% did not vote for the complete cut-off, no-deal, anymore than those voting to remain were 100% happy with staying and no changes.

Re: PM Boris
To understand the leave vote you must try to understand their mindset, their values are not the same as yours.

Re: PM Boris
Absolutely, but it has happened. Some groups did engage in sacrifice. It isn't logical to us but these groups allowed it to happen and to them it made sense. Applying our values ensure that we can never understand their reasoning.. you have to think like them.

The whole thing reminds me of a daughter, then teenaged, tearing up her Platinum card and throwing it at me. She now lives in Afghanistan. I can only wish the same outcome for Johnson, Cummings and Farage.

Re: PM Boris
I mildly object to the idea that I've been burying my head in the sand. I thought Brexit was just what the locals here call a "hissy fit". I've asked repeatedly if there was a rational argument for it, just in case I missed it. All we've had is fishing rights and kicking out the foreigners.

Re: PM Boris
I see. Wouldn't it be good if the "collection of countries" could agree some kind of mechanism, an international treaty perhaps, that afforded them the efficiencies of the one big country. I know it's nice to keep one's head in the 1970's, but wouldn't a bit of geopolitical evolution be a good thing? Do you think there might be some synergies to be had?

Re: PM Boris
Paul, you are so out of touch and out of date on modern Europe that it is embarassing. It is working. A lot of people do want it.

Please argue against my arguments and leave the personal attacks in your head where they belong.
