Leavers Lagoon - all systems are go. all lights are green

[surferjet]

Good news yesterday < gets out green highlighter >
Still work to be done but it’s another step in the right direction.

Ps: completely given up on the Brexit Arms as it’s been taken over by remainers.
This is our chilled out place to post on in the run up to March 2019.

Positive people only

I am still waiting, however many threads in we are, for the positives of Brexit and how our lives will be improved. The nearest we got on this thread was "I'm not going to tell you as you will misinterpret what I am saying".

Interestingly, Gemalto (the new blue passport printing company) is on my list for a future project. They scored badly in a financial risk assessment, but are potentially about to be taken over. I expect their finances might be on the up this week ;-)

To be fair we should post something for the Brexiters to enjoy as well:

They are being taken over by Thales, whose largest stakeholder is the French govt.

So our new French navy passports are going to be printed by a company owned by the French Government ? How long have I got to get a nice burgundy (sorry !) one from Gateshead ?

London I have a nice little bell on my purse courtesy of the local charity shop and the tree in my garden has shed a limb so I shall whittle a couple of sticks from it #Morrisforever

So not just our trains and our power, but our passports too! This is not an EU issue though it might seem like it. We have powers within UK to have taken certain courses of action in the past that we didn't take. Like immigration, like the trains, like the housing issue etc. It's been all about the money for years. Capitalism caused this, not the EU.

You are forgetting car manufacturers Pyramids , oh and 'our' steel manufacturers , and not forgetting joint military and naval connections with France.

And the small aerospace bit. I am loving all the taking back of control. It's going SO well.

Oh yes, our special friends the Americans have already offered us a far worse deal re open skies than the one we currently have as members of the EU , but its OK because no-one who voted leave ever wants to fly to the states ever and neither do any of their friends or relatives , cos that would be traitorous

Or and this is the best argument ever , environmentally unsound ! Anyone making this argument also walks everywhere , has given up any petrol/diesel transport , has given up hot water and heating as the work of the devil , and refuses to eat /wear / use anything that wasn't sourced from their own garden.

True dat. Our successive Govts have sold anything and everything of any value to the highest bidder. Short sighted bollox.

So maybe what went before wasn't working and this will be the start of something better...

Sure it wasn't. World's 5th economy, no. 1 in the EU before the referendum.

It wasn't me posting the moaning.

What's with the 'maybe...the start of something better'? Leave said it was going to be better - no ifs or buts. Why has your doubt crept in?

But Leave campaigners also said we would make FTAs with individual EU Member States, we would secure FTAs with other countries before the end of the 2 year Art 50 notice period, we would make no payment to the EU indeed we would extract a refund from the EU. Not looking too good for the accuracy of Leave understanding of the rules of the EU, or their reading of the future.

You do know missing out part of a sentence changes its meaning.... JWIM though you were better than that..

This is simply about freedom from independent critical thinking. Why not just let go and let oneself get spoon-fed a yummy spiked jingoistic pulp the Heil have expertly provided since 1930s, a process CA and others are now taking to a whole new level. No effort required to chew in order to get a high courtesy of the reptilian brain. No matter we just basically turn into puppets that way - it feels good, and it's all that matters.

"So maybe what went before wasn't working and this will be the start of something better..." And who will be doing this exactly? Big clue, it wasn't the EU that caused the problems.

I read that sentence with the conjunction 'and' with 'maybe' qualifying both clauses. Apologies if that was not your intended meaning. However, I also agree with Pyramids in that your hope for something better seems to rest with the same people that have resulted in the UK dropping in global economic position, not addressing housing, health, welfare, education, infrastructure in the UK. Why will they now make it better. And please don't say it is the money that will no longer be contributed to the EU. 1% of GDP will not solve the list of issues.

When half the people who went to vote, do so against what has been on place for fourty years and government in power would be dense to not sit up and take note.
Of course this might be obvious to most people but ignoring this big red flag and pretending the EU are not involved is a easy way out and remain can pretend it is just the UK governments to blame...

I do hugely enjoy reading your daily musings, but have to say that I'm really struggling to decipher your latest bulletin. But please don't stop. I think your posts are great and it's not your fault if I'm too obtuse to understand them.
