This image argues otherwise.

I would agree with that. The attitudes came from their supporters, not the Labour, Green, Lib Dem etc politicians themselves. Most politicians at least have the common sense to know that ripping the piss out of people is rarely the best way to get them on your side.

So you now expect May to back down and compromise as part of the negotiations.

Will you be happy with that, Yes or No..

Are you now a soft brexiter ?.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

I would have preferred a customs union and free trade area that does not include complete freedom of movement. That is all that I have ever wanted from the EU and my opinion has never changed.

Unfortunately the EU just does not want to work that way so I saw no other option than to vote out.

That was a march in support of refugees.

I can't for the life of me see what it has to do with the EU referendum and your accusation that lefties led the campaign to remain and were insulting and condescending in doing so.

You can have a Golden Dick award for that post.

Britain will sign trade agreements when those agreements meet with mutual economic interest.

Evading UK taxes does harm to the UK but if we were out of the EU then evading EU taxes wouldn't really be a problem for us. In fact a lot of expat Hollywood celebrities and others have based themselves in London rather than France before today so that they didn't have to pay French residence taxes. Johnny Depp was one example.

You said that leftism doesn't exist in the UK these days. I proved with photo evidence that it does.

Here's another one (and incidentally the man at the front of the picture did a lot more harm than good to his cause IMHO).

:confused: This makes no sense to me at all.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

OK well essentially if you can develop a system where people can exploit foreign tax laws within your country but not domestic ones then you're economically on to a winner. The Swiss pulled that off and got away with it for years.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Well I agree that they all look like jolly decent chaps and all that - but that doesn't necessarily mean they are of the left. :confused:

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

You proved nothing of the sort ;)

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Its the UK thats changed not the EU.
Whatever happens it will be because of the way the UK narrowly voted in June.

The irony being tha leavers will probably pay a higher price than the remainers.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Yes I know what a tax haven is.

I thought the UK was going to restore itself to the once-great trading nation it formerly was by striking lucrative free trade deals with all the countries outside the EU queueing up to burst through the door and sign the papers once Article 50 negotiations are complete.

That's what was promised - not for the UK to try to worm itself back in to the single market by any means and if that fails turn itself into a fiscal paradise on the EU's doorstep.

What happened there?

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Very odd isn't it? I don't understand DG's angle on this at all.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

The EU has changed. It wasn't what the British electorate voted to join and then remain a member of in the days way before I was born. If it had remained as just a common trade area between the countries of Western Europe like it was supposed to then all of this unpleasantness could be avoided.

Re: Post EU Referendum
 

Is that because they moved to Portugal Eric? ;) :sneaky:
