What was Britain's idea in the first place??
("Europe" is a continent it is not the EU.)

It doesn't matter if any group of immigrants outnumber the other if the process of admission is fair and according to the needs of the UK.

The negotiations with other countries are going on NOW with the knowledge that nothing can be certain until Brexit actually happens--then agreements can quickly take place,

The call centres in India were variable according to the status and education of the particular people employed. Some were excellent others less so.

Look up the links put, of trade already taking place before you are so dismissive.

So you wouldn't have a problem with a federation of North America?

re: Post EU Referendum
 

Technically, it is still fair now. EU migrants are only allowed to come in now because there is an agreement in place that allows UK citizens (as themselves EU migrants) to do the same in the 27 other member states. Again, the UK has a veto and voting power, it had a say in how things are.

The trade will be what it will be, I know that. Nobody knows the future though, and Brexit or no Brexit, the global economy is ever changing anyway.

I wasn't having a go at Indian call centres, I've been transferred to plenty of them, they're fine. I was taking the piss out of a theoretical British call centre with some chav answering the phone.

Trade isn't an issue for me, I wasn't dismissing it, just highlighting the uncertainty. I know things will be worked out, deals will be made and all the rest. But again, the real effect of Brexit on the British economy won't be known for probably years. No sense putting the cart before the horse, for any potential trading partner.

Honestly, I don't know. I have never once given it any thought. Free movement between the US and Canada would be nice, though but that's me being selfish.

Now that Hinkley point has been given the go ahead with minority financing by the UK how is the looney fringe of the brexit campaign going to react to the thousands of migrant workers who will be needed to build it..
How many those who voted brexit in the deprived areas of the UK are prepared to move to Somerset and live in the construction camps for the duration of the project .
The biggest construction project in europe will have a minor UK involvement at almost every level apart from paying double the current rates for energy.

re: Post EU Referendum
 

You were being perfectly reasonable yesterday. Why do you have to go and ruin it with stupid shit like that?

re: Post EU Referendum
 

You and your fellow brexiteers are the only ones who keep going on and on and on about the vote.
When will it finally sink in that the vote did not result in brexit that is yet to happen.
I suspect that you will never accept the final form of brexit and still be going on and on and on about the vote and that it was not what you and otners voted for.

re: Post EU Referendum
 

Yes, Leave WON.

We established that on June 23.

The rest of us are now talking about what that might mean. Move on please.

re: Post EU Referendum
 

So, you're not big on sense of humour or appreciate a bit of a leg pull then? ;)

Joking aside, I'm sure that even you will appreciate that the thread seems to have reverted (yet again) back to pointless complaints about the decision to Brexit rather than the more sensible discussions about negotiations & what might happen after Brexit?

Hell, the country finds itself at the biggest crossroads for decades & possibly centuries where not only do we have the massive Brexit change but also have the current official opposition looking to split in two & possibly even a completely new official opposition being established. - Added to which we have Sconny Botland going all ways with the Scottish Labour faction rapidly going tits up, Sturgeon being kacked out left, right & centre & the Yanks having two options that couldn't be more different.

All of those things could affect the UK, especially with the looming Brexit challenges.

All that going on & what get's discussed here? Nothing more than the same sad sack 'woe is me' bollocks that we've had for endless pages. :(

What has ****ing Farage got to do with people sleeping rough in the New Forest? Why not ****ing Cameron or ****ing Blair or ****ing anyone else in government? What have those sleeping rough in the New Forest got to do with Brexit?

People did not vote out to improve the country. They voted out to improve their lot in life.

re: Post EU Referendum
 

Nationalism is not what Brexit is about. Neither is isolationism. Patriotism has nothing to do with Brexit, either. You do not understand why people voted the way they did.

re: Post EU Referendum
 

Not at all. When it's actually funny ...

It's not pointless. The aftermath of Brexit has to be a situation that is favourable for both those who voted for it and those who didn't. Understanding the perspective of those who are opposed to the decision is essential for the government when it is time to invoke Article 50.

You could argue it's equally pointless to discuss the what-ifs of post-Brexit Britain because in reality, we could all still be sitting here waiting to find out what that will be in five years.

Brexit might end up being a massive change, or it might not. We will have to wait and see. As we are in the ante-Brexit phase right now, I think that all matters, both direct and peripheral, are up for discussion.

re: Post EU Referendum
 

Maybe, maybe not but nationalism and isolationism have no real place in the world anymore.

Unchecked, jingoistic patriotism is stupid as well. You are from where you're from because of an accident of birth, due to the nationality and/or location of the crotch you fell out of. Acting like you owe some strip of land anything is ridiculous.

No, I don't. Same way I can't understand why people can eat bananas, but they do.

I'll wager a great many people who voted leave can't really adequately explain why they did either.

re: Post EU Referendum
 

I was suggesting that the country might have been better served by addressing those problems.

I was further suggesting that those who wrap themselves in the flag might consider instead doing something to actually help the British people.

I loathe hypocrisy.

re: Post EU Referendum
 

I'm all for discussing the important aspects of Brexit & post Brexit but f you care to review the posts more or less immediately above (what I consider) my rather witty meme, you'll see most had reverted to the same silly complaints & petty insults we've had for the last 3.5K posts......... and there's no point in those. - If nothing else, it's all been said several times before.

Surely it's better to accept the situation & instead discuss the really important issues?
