WELL DONE !!!

WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU !!!!

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

A whole week!!! FFS I can't remember that far back on a thread like this. :(

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Be guided by Eric on this front - he's exceptionally good at remembering that kind of thing. He is perhaps the polar opposite of goldfish memory man EMR on that front :sneaky:

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

It is disappointing. You would think that as a vile-lefty who doesn't think that the free-market is the best-solution to everything, I would have qualified easily. I put it down to growing up in Zone-2.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

This thread is many times fatter than the Brexit team's folder of documents.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Its not too difficult, its about those poor unfortunates brexiters who do not undersand the theory of cause and effect .
Those who cling to the fantasy that a post brexit UK will return to the early 60s when we were still a major power, a manufacturing giant and where foreign language speakers were restricted to a few small areas of our major cities.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Putting aside the shameful fact that you grew up in zone 2 for the moment ;)

Does anybody think that the free-market is the best-solution (sic) to everything?

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Trump !

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Well, you've already forgotten the slip was against Chelsea that handed City the league, so you're half-way there Mr Goldfish. :p

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Don,t get me started, remember the result against Palace.
Best chance in a decade , thrown away.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Apparently Cape-Blue does. I've tried explaining that the free-market isn't free at all but has been highly-manipulated by a certain power-structure to favour the chosen-few. But I have failed miserably.

Btw, all these hyphens are exhausting, I don't know how he does it. I'm stopping now.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Allegedly, the UK's documents were still in the briefcases, but the UK team was eager to get the photo-op done.

Image over substance (again!).

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Brexiters do not want to return to anything, just for the UK to be in charge of its own destiny.

"Foreign language speakers"?? Presume you mean EU languages! There were plenty of 'non-EU' language speakers in all areas, also plenty of Polish and Jewish people post war, (and the latter came from European countries). They didn't all instantly forget their home languages!

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Maybe your level of fecundity counted against you?

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

They should have claimed they had stacks of documents and folders in front of them but the EU airbrushed them out of the photo.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

[snort]

Apparently there was less than an hour's worth of material there.

I've only got the one child, so I don't think so. Mind you, he is half foreign.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Not at all , the early 60s were a very different place outside of our major cities.
Our own destiny, you really do not know much about our post-war history do you.
Falklands, N Ireland, Kuwait, Afganistan, Iraq,.Oman, West Africa.
Just a few of those significant events which have nothing to do with EU membership.
The miners strike, 3 day weeks, energy crisis, inner city riots, Comonwalth immigration ad nasesum.
You need to wake up.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Why on earth did membership in the EU mean we were not in charge of our own destiny :confused: Life consists of choices, and we make them as a country too. To be part of the EU was a freely-made choice, and we made a choice for one set of alliances and agreements over others. All we are doing now (if the government ever gets its act together) is swapping it out for a different set of alliances and agreements. Casting this as more, or less, freedom either way is just electioneering nonsense.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

We are talking of our Post Brexit destiny.

What are you talking about??? The events you describe obviously had nothing to do with the EU. Also it has only existed for the last 23 years.
UK actions good or bad were their own doing.

How old are you EMR--do you remember the 60s?
The major cities were were very different places 50 years ago!

But regards your previous post --foreign languages were spoken in all areas, apart from perhaps rural villages!

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

I would have thought that another judiciary superior to your own meant you were not in charge.

We voted to stay in the EEC in 1975. The EU was founded 23 years ago, there was no choice for the general public.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

:goodpost:

I expect the next things to go will be the UN, NATO, maybe The Commonwealth.

And definitely - absolutely - not a trade deal with the US. That would be selling our soul.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Meanwhile...

Europe Is Bored With Brexit
Brexit talks fail to make it onto front pages across Europe

The geopolitical reality suggests what while Brexit is the be all and end all for the British, the EU may not be bluffing when it says the bloc has plenty else on its plate, from its dealings with U.S. leader Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin to a series of complicated relationships with other G-20 partners.


(Tick tock tick tock tick tock)

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

So do please tell us what our destiny will be when we brexit.
Go try.
I moved to N Oxon from Southall in the early 70s.
Asians ran the one Indian restaurant, that was their sum total.
The majority of black faces belonged to the US servicemen from local US bases, I suppose you could say they spoke a foreign language.
I will put it in a way that I think you will understand.
Immigration be it EU or non EU was not an issue apart from those who lived in those of our major cities where immigrants concentrated from the mid sixties onwards.

I will leave you to continue giving thought as to our post brexit destiny.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Inflation has dropped.

Blame Brexit!

I am waiting for the usual moaners to post their negatives.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Brexit? What brexit?

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

There's the first.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Given that you or anyone who shares your views can point to any negatives on you life or that if anyone in the UK regarding the ECJ you argument has no basis in fact.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

That is great news, thanks for sharing manch.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

It seems the nonexistent Brexit inflationary pressure is over.

Well, maybe not. Still 2.5% higher than a year ago, and that's before Brexit even happens. But just keep a positive attitude and it'll all work out. That seems to be the plan so far anyway.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Caused by a reduction in global oil prices and a rise in the pound against the dollar.
But as we know in brexit world cause and effect do not exist.
Because the chance of interest rate rises has diminished the pound has fallen today.
The result costs of imports will continue to affect inflation.
Inflation which is still above average wage increases.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

First of many I expect, I'm sure there's a cloud they can dig up to smother the silver lining.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Ami, can’t you be happy like iano, just for once?

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Steady, manch, didn't say I was happy. Still poorer today than I was yesterday.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Well, all evidence suggests there's not one upside in any of this. Add to that the waffling and sheer incompetence of those in charge of it. Add to that the ticking clock...

But I reckon that's all just a product of the apparent "plan" (as you seem to champion): just keep a "positive attitude" and it'll all work out. Like buying that pub in the costas that's going to facilitate living the high life in the sun. Just sign here. It's gonna be great.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Sorry, iano, getting carried away a bit.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Yawn...

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Be careful of equating inflation solely with BREXIT as there are other factors involved including all the QE :nod:

The UK created £375bn ($550bn) of new money in its QE programme between 2009 and 2012. moreover, in August 2016, the Bank of England said it would buy £60bn of UK government bonds and £10bn of corporate bonds. This is all money printed that was not earned by the economy and leads to inflationary pressures sooner or later.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Yes, that's how I feel about it. After all this this time, you (or anyone else) still have yet to offer any tangible upside.

Yawn...
