Fingers crossed it's next Tuesday. I amazed how many intelligent people seem to think hamstringing the gov as it goes into these negotiations is a good idea

I too heard that Tuesday could be the day Infinite - let's hope so.

Yes, all this ridiculous ping-ponging is just so annoying - let's just get on with it.

Anyway.....I'll start a new thread in celebration of A50 being triggered this month! 😀

I hope you're all still as happy when the prices hike up AGAIN in June.

Oh Agatha, you'll be thanking us in the end...

Also can't wait to get on with it and stop the limbo.

Won't be bothered if the EU citizens amendment is accepted, but will be beyond furious if the ridiculous 'meaningful vote' bollocks gets through.

Roll on Tuesday....!!

semi I actually agree with you on the'meaningful vote'. Once A50 is invoked its too late for any vote- that should have happened before now.

I do wish we could get past the complete and utter nonsense that continues to spew from Leavers though.

It would make a refreshing change to hear someone actually articulate why eating boiled grass is preferable to staying the the EU because, as it stands, it is nothing more than bravado with not an ounce of fact to back it up.

infinite I really do believe you and your fellow Leavers have convinced yourselves you genuinely did 'do that in spades'

I can assure you I did listen/ read and absolutely nothing you or anyone said even came close to convincing me that the benefits of leaving begin to outweigh the negatives.

You are all just hell bent on closing down discussions and ignoring any kind of serious discussion about how this will actually work out.

Crack on with the insults if it makes you feel superior however it would be better if you could explain your justification for the 'booked grass' comment.

Eu army
Would never have happened whilst we had a veto

Corrupt bureaucracy
And our politicians are paragons of virtue aren't they?

Superstate
and the worst that could happen is.....?

Immigration
We will just exchange EU migrants for migrants from other countries as part of trade deals so no 'gain' there if that's what you wanted

Border control
As above- it's not like there are currently no controls

Sovereignty
You saved the best for last! We never lost our sovereignty so what is to be gained.

I don't expect a response as nothing more meaningful has come out in the last 9 months but I would truly love to know how you perceive any of the above rhetoric to outweigh

  • inflation
  • potential problems with NI
  • tariffs
  • non tariff barriers
  • the cost of just implementing Brexit

Bear I can assure you I did listen/ read and absolutely nothing you or anyone said even came close to convincing me that the benefits of leaving begin to outweigh the negatives.

Vice versa here - nothing could convince me that remaining was in the UKs long term interests.

EU Army - so CSDP and EEAS stuff (that I am trying to find) was passed in 2015, and we do not apparently have a veto.

Corrupt bureaucracy - I would argue that there is a difference between politicians and bureaucrats, but the point was the system itself is flawed as opposed to the people therein.

Superstate Read your history books to have a look at the worst that could happen. It would not be benign.

Immigration I see no reason why we shouldn't be like Canada, Australia, NZ and the US is ensuring that those who immigrate to the UK are required for specific jobs, and fit the criteria on supporting themselves, no access to state health care etc. It works for those countries, and no-one thinks anything odd about it.

Border control Yes, if you're from a non EU country, there are controls. If you are not, you tend just to come straight in.

Sovereignty Evidently you don't understand the acquis and the ratchet. What is that but a loss of sovereignty?

As expected, you're not tackling the latter points in my post then scary, ie the consequences.

InfiniteSheldon · 11/03/2017 19:49

Why should we? If you need reassurance or reasons get off your star and find them for yourself. We repeatedly handhold you through reasons for leaving and you wilfully ignore, disseminate and fudge your way past them.
