I took on the mantle to start another thread. If that is not allowed, Mods delete the thread, I am not sure of the protocol. But it certainly is an interesting discussion!

If allowed to stay as my OP, let's go!

@GardenGeek - it's "would have " not "would of". But hey, maybe we can flush the language down the loo too.

Yes, Farage was frothing at the mouth and saying pretty much the same thing on the radio yesterday eve

keyboardkate · 15/06/2018 20:34

Anything POSITIVE yet about this? If so, please enlighten me.

All I can see is polarisation and bitching and moaning from all sides.

A divided country is what we will be left with no matter what, because that polarisation will mean negativity and one side against the other forever more. Hmm.

Watch this space for spats and blame gaming going forward. Well forever me thinks.

And just a few months to go (with Summer Recess included). It is quite delusional to think this will be agreed before next March. But hope springs eternal. As you were....

I voted leave in the referendum. I didn’t come to this decision lightly it took me a long long time to decide which way I would vote so to hear people say you must be racist and uneducated if you did not vote to remain is frustrating and bloody rude. Calling people names and using petty insults does nothing to promote your cause. It’s isolates people and puts them on the defensive.

keyboardkate · 15/06/2018 20:52

I don't think Brexit will happen at all in 2019. A fudge maybe and a long fingered fudge at that. And a twenty year lead in or something.

BINO beckons!

Even JRM realises that he must place his business beyond Brexit and move it to Dublin.

You could not make up the hypocrisy of that. And others of course, but you know who I mean.

I am a liberal and I want every citizen of every country to have complete control over the direction of their policy, government and country. The EU doesn't do that

And neither does the UK unfortunately and nor will it even if we Brexit GardenGeek

frumpety · 15/06/2018 20:59

But I cant disagree with the sentiment , just the logistics are non existent Smile

LillianGish · 15/06/2018 21:18

Even JRM realises that he must place his business beyond Brexit and move it to Dublin. It’s very instructive - even he doesn’t believe that everything will be better after Brexit so why should anyone else believe it? All this will of the people guff is just nonsense - no one had a clue what they were voting for - Brexit means Brexit - we still don’t know what that means two years down the line.

LillianGish · 15/06/2018 21:21

Actually I think the lack of any sort of plan is what annoys me most. There was never a plan and there still isn’t one - I don’t even understand what it is leavers want.

keyboardkate · 15/06/2018 21:22

Those with means will not care how this pans out. Those who need the security of the EU will though.

I'm with Garden Geek.I just feel nothing but optimism about going it alone.

Ohsuchaperfectday · 15/06/2018 21:23

Oh didnt see that op - we don't have the means at all.

LillianGish · 15/06/2018 21:23

It’s the rich leading the thick Keyboardkate.

keyboardkate · 15/06/2018 21:26

The will of 52% of those who actually voted remember, not 52% of the population.

That is often forgotten, and apologies if I got my percentages wrong there, but you know what I mean!

Ohsuchaperfectday · 15/06/2018 21:27

Lillian I don't think Plans is how these things work....there was no plan when FR overthrew royals, or when american divorces the UK.

The Brexiteers need to be more stringent and forceful and take charge. Get on with it - then - as the chips fall we can work out all the finer details.

time4chocolate · 15/06/2018 21:32

Well maybe that’s where you need to direct your frustration then, the ones that didn’t vote because maybe that would have swung it for the ‘in’. Every vote counted on this issue.

keyboardkate · 15/06/2018 21:33

Brexit will not happen anytime soon.

Transition period? Why is that necessary please tell me now.

I do know the answer (lack of planning), but do people agree that it is/was a planning disaster.
