Faith I read all your posts. You said I hadn't bothered. I've now read them twice. I look forward to what you have to say about Brexit if not the outcome of the Italian elections.

Oh dear, surferjet just threw her toys out of the pram.

bearbehind · 05/03/2018 20:19

FFS, which part of

Also, I don’t get why they think the UK is the only racist country within the EU

Why would you say that if you didn't think we were a racist country and you weren't proud of that fact.

I sure as shit don't consider the UK racist.

And I don't need your pity surfer

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 05/03/2018 20:20

Watch out surfer, she'll have you at the stake for your LIES!!! 😂😂😂

bearbehind · 05/03/2018 20:20

No faith, surfer is actually honest and transparent.

frumpety · 05/03/2018 20:21

With regards the elections in Italy , you have to give Berlusconi his due , if I were worth 7.9 billion USD , I would probably be having thoughts of retiring at his age Wink

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 05/03/2018 20:22

Why would you say that if you didn't think we were a racist country and you weren't proud of that fact.

(As you know) she said that because a constant refrain from the remoaners on here is 'what a racist country the U.K. is!'

At no point did she say (word for word!):

"Finally admitting that you are actually racist then surfer"

You called her that, alley yourself.

It's a sly little unfounded personal attack.

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 05/03/2018 20:23

No faith, surfer is actually honest and transparent.

But she blocked you Bear!

That got me endless shit from you.

Double standards!!

You do this all the time Bear - you wade in a pick a leaver to attack for hours.
I don’t know if you’re just desperate for attention, but you take over the thread & it all gets ridiculous - if you need this much action why don’t you join Tinder?

frumpety · 05/03/2018 20:29

We are so lucky that in the UK we have no such shady mega rich media moguls interfering with elections Hmm

bearbehind · 05/03/2018 20:29

but she blocked you Bear

That's mildly amusing now because it is actually a joke, unlike your previous comments which you passed off as the truth until you got called out on it.

I really don't mean this to be personal faith but I won't tolerate people who twist the truth.

bearbehind · 05/03/2018 20:33

Not sure my husband would appreciate that Grin

I'm not 'attacking you for hours'

I pulled you up on the fact you said the UK wasn't 'the only racist country'.

It hadn't even occurred to me we were a racist country.

Yes there's racist elements but I don't see that as the overriding opinion.

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 05/03/2018 20:50

It's the only explanation for your lies / distortion of the truth.

Im not a liar.

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 05/03/2018 20:52

No you didn't.

You said:

Frumpety - Yep credit where it’s due he is certainly not a giver upper and though it pains me to say, he is looking very good for his age. I can only assume he is in rude health too, would imagine most 80 year olds in very close proximity to a pair of jiggling breasts would more than likely have a heart attack 😀.

bearbehind · 05/03/2018 20:55

Im not a liar.

Yet you can't explain

  • exactly what the difference between CU and CA is other than one exists and the other doesn't
  • where the technology for a virtual border like that needed for NI exists and how it could be deployed in 13 months.
  • who said 'what a racist country the UK is'

You've stated all, the above as facts; prove me wrong.

Moussemoose · 05/03/2018 20:55

Bear, again only anecdotally, the Italians I work with say the U.K. is significantly less racists than Italy.

When looking at a comment like " the U.K. is not the only racist country" it is implicit in that sentence that the U.K. is racist.

Implied meaning, like Point, Evidence, Explanation is grade 4 GCSE stuff. Basic level of understanding for a 16 year old.

bearbehind · 05/03/2018 20:58

Exactly mousse I can't comprehend anyone saying the UK was racist in that context unless you thought it was and you were something other than horrified by that fact.

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 05/03/2018 21:14

*Im not a liar.

Yet you can't explain*

*-exactly what the difference between CU and CA is other than one exists and the other doesn't

  • where the technology for a virtual border like that needed for NI exists and how it could be deployed in 13 months.
  • who said 'what a racist country the UK is'

I am not required to 'prove you wrong' Bear - to suggest I am is rather an arrogant assertion.

Regardless, let me break this down for you:

-exactly what the difference between CU and CA is other than one exists and the other doesn't

I explained the difference earlier in this thread

- where the technology for a virtual border like that needed for NI exists and how it could be deployed in 13 months.

Last thread, I supplied a link to the EU commissioned report, which stated that all the required elements were available, but had never been combined thus far - the NI border would be a new, novel application.
Regardless, I didn't ever say 'could be deployed in 13 months' - that is an addition entirely of your own.

- who said 'what a racist country the UK is'
On numerous occasions since June 2016 posters have referred to the Brexit vote & Brexit voters as racist. They have also asserted that the U.K. is a racist country (thus voting for a 'racist' cause).
I cannot however be fucked to search them out for you - but it is rather disingenuous of you to suggest that you have never read any such assertions on MN eu threads.

bearbehind · 05/03/2018 21:22

faith

-CU/CA - saying the difference between 2 things is that one exists and the other doesn't is not the same as speciying 'exactly what the differences are'. You said you knew 'exactly' what the dirrence were.

  • Virtual border- there was absolutely nothing in that article/ report which implied a virtual border in NI was a practical solution. We are leaving the EU in 13 months, of course it's a valid inclusion, and one which was discussed from the very point you raise it. No one is denying the technology possibly could exist in decades, that doesn't help us now.
  • Racist County- you reverting back to every comment ever made on these threads is way more tenuous than saying a poster is racist because they are happy to say the UK is racist
Moussemoose · 05/03/2018 21:28

Faith

As a matter of interest do you think the U.K. is a racist country?

JWIM · 05/03/2018 21:31

Faith having identified an EU report that stated that all the required technology elements were available for a virtual border, do you think that virtual border could be in place in just less than 13 months - Brexit date, or by the end of the transition/implementation period - currently working on Dec 2020, or is it an unknown?

surferjet · 05/03/2018 21:34

What do you think Moussemoose?
Do you think the UK is a racist country?
Why don’t we open up a quick Brexit Arms poll.
