Happy brexit day

[farage4PM]

Thank god we are only a few hours away from being a free and independent and a global outlooking country! Happy VEU day everyone!!
Let's all join together, enjoy and celebrate our victory over antidemocracy and enjoy our new found and hard fought freedom!!

WiseUpJanetWeiss I suspect they actually sucked the intelligence out of his brains. If that's what the EU has been doing, it could explain a great deal.

Bamboo15 Please can you show me with actual true facts, not made up, guesstimates re GDP figures, cause we know how accurate experts have been over the last decades

Some Leaver bloke on the radio this morning blamed the EU for stealing his sixpence and only giving him 2 1/2p instead back in 1971.

ContinuityError What’s the EU taken your sense of humour away

Why should remainers ' be ok' with it when leavers never were ' ok' with it for nearly 45 years? The Conservatives took their infighting over the EU to the people in the end. Not their best move but that's just my opinion.
I am also surprised at how many people I know voted for the common market/ EEC in the 70s and leave in 2016. I was only 8 back then and my memories are vague, but people seemed all for it back then! Makes me wondered what really changed ; it may be 'ok ' but it might not.
Nobody knows yet.

The people that want to remain will not be silenced the same as the leavers were not silenced. It would be stupid to try to silence anybody really. I'm sure I will see the emergence of ' the remain party' at the next election. They need to take some notes from how successful the leave propaganda was in 2016 as well. There's probably not much appetite for it now , but there might be one day. Time will tell how it pans out and how the trade deals will work. That the more complicated bit.
I feel sad it's come to this but I doubt we will ever be united over this somehow.

Hester54 My sense of humour is quite intact, thank you - it would have been funny if it had been a joke. It wasn’t. The bloke was still incandescent about it.

I was out last night with 2 brexit supporters. I asked them both if there was anything that worried them, any little niggle. One said that he thinks everything will be fine as long as there is a competent government. So I asked is that your worry - that there won't be a competent government. He said yes. To which I asked- so if there isn't a competent government what do you worry might happen. He could not answer. That is what I find strange - the reluctance to articulate any worries. Surely if you think it is the best thing overall you must have some concerns about how it might play out even if on balance you support it?

Farage did not accept the 1973 result
we do not accept the 2016 one
he kept fighting
we will keep fighting

Remainers need to stay relevant.
Won't be easy but they need to keep going.

Once mine and my children's eu passports come through, I'll happily pull together to make the best of it as I'm sick of the same arguments being argued again and again and I can't be bothered to leave the country so will have to live here.

I think that's really interesting jewel1968 and you're right - the whole thing doesn't make sense. If it was a great idea, there were a number of concrete reasons people had given about how it would benefit our country, and like you say, some idea of the downsides or plan for contingencies, you might at least have faith that there was a solid plan.

At the moment we are being asked to pull together over something which to half the country makes no logical sense and seems stupid, all the evidence suggests it will make us worse off as a country and individually (excluding a very rich select few, some in very influential positions) and no answers are being given when concerns are raised. We still don't know if there'll be a 'no deal' with all the medicine shortages, food shortages etc we previously feared, just that it won't happen till the end of this year. And presumably in the meantime all the 'brexiteers' will be saying "none of your project fear happened" seemingly ignorant of what is actually happening.

Well, thank goodness we're in such safe hands then.

Happy Brexit Day everyone. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

That's the spirit Coppersulphate. Use the Union Jack as much as you can for now, it won't be around for much longer.

parallel in EU is Council of Europe

The Council of Europe is a completely separate institution to the EU. Every country in Europe except Belarus (mainly because it refuses to give up the death penalty) and Vatican City (because it's not a democracy) is a member of it.

The organ that Brexiteers point to is the European Commission. It's still democratic, though. Members are appointed by the European Council (which comprises the elected head of state or government from each member state) and the European Parliament (elected directly by EU citizens).

for completeness

I do not know if I am the onky one, but there is no way to message the original poster.
Fake news?

Let us wait and see, if it turns out to be GREAT for uk that's fine.

Will leaving sort out the food banks and the homeless. I suppose it will. That's what they promised anyway, and we shall all be equal.

Will wait and see what happens, without the racism too. Honestly.

Happy Brexit Day.

Do l know what's going to happen with GDP? Nope. But neither would it be guaranteed if the country had voted to remain. Leavers think it might be shit for a while but it will be better in the long run and Remainers think the world is ending.

In reality, it probably won't make much difference to most people's every day lives.

sits back and waits for people who don't know any better to tell me l'm wrong

Gross

Same to you thumbs up

Onwards and upwards.

The whole thing is utterly mortifying. I was cringing watching it. Thick (yes sorry thick) people spouting meaningless platitudes that made zero sense. Most red faced and drunk some dressed as knights?! Dear god.

If only I could work out what to pull together for, or who to pull together with, perhaps it would all make sense?

Nah fuckit, I'm not having anything to do with leavers if I can possibly help it. Own what you chose.

Kinda like this, op. 

This.
