oh dear a few hundred liberal elite move out of London. Who knew lefties were so worried about wealthy bankers.

Or remainers about nationalists. The adoration of Sturgeon discombobulated me rather.

The profits from the one armed bandit in the corner are going to take a kicking if all the wealthy gamblers flee the Arms. It's a significant part of the Pub's income, too.....

Bankers who pay alot of tax. Who needs schools and hospitals. We've got a first aid kit at the Brexit Arms and a copy of UKIP manifesto for the kiddies corner.

Isn't there a 'quiet corner' for wet-weekenders?

squishy we can't afford parlour games at the Brexit Arms however we could probably stretch to a piece of chalk so the regulars could play hop scotch outside. You know how they love nostalgia.

Isn't there a 'quiet corner' for wet-weekenders?

It used to be called the no smoking area but since the ban we just get high off the creosote fumes.

I am genuinely glad for you brexiteers that you are happy with the way it is progressing. Even though I didn't vote the same way. I am resigned to the fact that it is happening. I don't know what I'm trying to say, but there has to be an end to the decisiveness. That islet wearing than the actual event I'm finding. So now it's about finding the best way forward.

I meant to say, the arguing is more wearing than the actual Brexit

Brexit is divisive by its very nature and the way forward appears to be off a cliff.

A few liberal elites (actually bankers generally aren't liberal ) a few eu immigrants and their families..a few young graduates..a few scientists. ..a few doctors...a few academics...a few tax payers

They don't matter...oh and welcome back 2 million uk expats...what there's no where to put them?...and they have to go onto benefits? And so many if them need to use the NHS? Oh and so many of them aren't tax payers any more

No matter we've got rid of the riff raf!

yy deadsouls, it is (in my opinion) a mistake, but it doesn't have to be a disaster.
A lot will depend on how it is handled, on how competent our politicians and negotiators are, and on maintaining as much goodwill between the UK and the EU as possible.
Fingers crossed everyone!

That is true and I don't disagree. But personally I'm choosing to approach this issue in a different way. That's not to say I agree with much of what is said, but I accept that this is now what is happening and I speak only for me, but I cannot take the arguing. I'm just putting forward the possibility of a different way of communicating with the 'other' side.

squishy
We can but hope. I have not changed my mind, in as much as I voted remain and would do so again. But the reality is that this is happening. Nothing is going to change that, so it's now about the best way forward and working together IMO

Deadsouls

we've been trying to communicate with "the other side" but nothing of any substance on what Brexit will look is offered. Just wishful thinking.

I know Deadsouls that arguing is not particularly constructive.
I'm only in here because I enjoying stretching metaphors so very much.

we've been trying to communicate with "the other side"

When?!

I must have blinked and missed it.

the best way forward and working together IMO

I'm getting sick of phrases like working together. We were told by Brexiters from Farage to the man on the street that Brexit would be brilliant. Brexiters will have to make it work. The government doesn't give a toss about the 48% (or scotland or NI for that matter).

Well maybe it is wishful thinking, but that's where I'm at with it all just now. It might change. But it is only my personal viewpoint. And not to take away from anyone else's right to their thoughts or feelings.

I must have blinked and missed it.

You must have.

Well I don't think it's 'brilliant' by any stretch.

It always feels like talking to people about religion. There us a belief system ok I get that. But something as serious as brexit requires tangable assurances and plans. Not blind religious fervour.

Well maybe it is wishful thinking, but that's where I'm at with it all just now.

and that's fine. The will of the people are also wishful thinking.

squishy
It's not that I think arguing is not constructive, it's just not constructive for me.
