This is a genuine question , you can give an explanation or not for your choice, entirely up to you Smile

My choice would be revoke, if I was considering the rest of the UK population. This does not mean that the UK can never leave the EU, but that those in charge would have to come up with solutions that were not detrimental to the majority of the population.

Exactly!

I read the Boston Town council report on anti social behaviour.

The public drunks to quote "Out of their heads by 9 am" were all Brits and there was no increase in anti social behaviour caused by immigrants.

I'd also think people are less tolerant of behaviour in immigrants than they would be in British nationals.

Revoke

No deal. Leaver.

EmeraldShamrock · 26/02/2019 17:52

TM has announced a vote to delay Brexit
I hope not, whatever the outcome I hope it is on time.
I like many is sick of the impact Brexit has had, while waiting on the outcome, if the storm is coming let it come.

TalkinPeece · 26/02/2019 18:00

if the storm is coming let it come.
What storm are you expecting ?

stillpinching · 26/02/2019 18:00

Revoke of course.

frumpety · 26/02/2019 18:33

I am still trying to figure out what no deal actually means ?

Quite a few people apparently think it means staying in the EU, bit of a worry. Not people on here I hasten to add Smile

Those who want no deal , does that mean you want no deal with the EU ever ? Or you just want to crash out of the EU with no deal in a few weeks and then we set about making new deals with the EU ?

Revoke would be what I preferred.

About Boston finding that immigrants and anti-social behaviour are not particularly connected: anti-social behaviour and social problems are not quite the same thing. It isn't anti-social to want a roof over your head, education for your children, access to medical care, and roads/transport; but greatly increased need for these causes social problems.

So people who say that immigrants cause a social problem are probably right; it's just that they are expressing it very badly, and also that immigrants are not the only people who cause that problem -- which is that housing, education, the NHS and transport have all been underfunded for years. And that has nothing to do with Brexit, because it was happening long before that started, or immigration, given that immigrants pay taxes just the same way that anyone British does if they work. Which on the whole they do, because that is what they came here to do in most cases.

DS supports Brexit.
From what I can work out, "No Deal" (he believes) will put UK into a very strong negotiating position with rWorld for other trade deals.

A future at-arms-length goods&capital only trade deal with EU would be ok to arrange, but is not a priority.

Windowsareforcheaters · 26/02/2019 19:34

Revoke

Unfinishedkitchen · 26/02/2019 19:46

Revoke. Then begin to build bridges between the two sides and start focusing on the rising inequalities and the uniquely negative non-Dom press barons and their shady backers that led us here.

frumpety · 26/02/2019 19:51

YeOldeTrout that's interesting, has your DS mentioned which countries we already have a trade deal with as a member of the EU, that he thinks we could get a better deal with ?

There appears to be a global trend for countries to be part of trading blocs/affiliations, I wonder at the UK's compulsion to go against this trend. Is the rest of the world wrong ?

@YeOldeTrout - From what I can work out, "No Deal" (he believes) will put UK into a very strong negotiating position with rWorld for other trade deals.

How on earth does he believe that? It doesn't take a genius to figure out that crashing out with no deals in place and frantically trying to put together deals ASAP is not exactly a strong negotiating position. Or does he believe rWorld needs UK more than UK needs rWorld? We saw how well that logic worked when applied to the EU!
