Channel 4 news is so blantantly anti Brexit it should be taken off air.

Why are they allowed to get away with it?

No replies wanted, just need this put out there.

Ferrets too, Ta1kingPeace.

Furet in French.

Surferjet
As you clearly only try to understand things that directly affect you

Could you give us the three things that you expect Brexit to make better for you personally, as an individual?
Not fluffy things
Real things that can be checks back afterwards.

eg
I expect the price of strawberries to go up and I like to eat strawberries.

BertrandRussell · 22/07/2018 13:54

Maybe the Remoaneea can do it the other way round

"I expect hospital waiting lists to get longer without EU national staff"
"I expect conditions for workers, particularly poorly paid workers, to get worse once employers are no longer subject to EU legislation."
"I expect disadvantaged areas of the country to suffer disproportionately from the withdrawal of EU subsidies"

Your turn. Surferjet.

Danniz · 22/07/2018 14:06

Yes. In a million different ways, we just have to suck it up, don't we? Can you imagine the permanently pissed off state that everyone will be in?

CaptainBrickbeard · 22/07/2018 14:06

I really hope no one is holding their breath for surfer to give us an answer there...

CaptainBrickbeard · 22/07/2018 14:22

I expect the rich white men who engineered Brexit to become wealthier and more powerful whilst the rest of the country gets poorer and totally evade all blame.

I expect the ensuing suffering to be blamed on ‘lefty voters’ who have consistently voted for a fairer society but apparently are the ones who hold the poor ‘in contempt’.

I expect a tougher, bleaker and narrower future for our children.

Ta1kinpeace · 22/07/2018 14:23

Bertrand
Ah, but you are being broad brush again
I want really narrow personal changes

eg
My car wash will close if they cannot get a steady stream of Bulgarians to come and do that back breaking work

The price of parts for my car will go up as they are imported from Germany

The price of frozen beans will go up because of labour shortages

CaptainBrickbeard · 22/07/2018 14:24

But hey, it’ll be one in the eye for the establishment won’t it?? You know, the hedge fund billionaires who can’t wait to profit from the downfall of the UK? Yeah, they’ll be crying into their wads of cash at the way ‘the will of the people’ has really given it to them both barrels...

Oh, and I expect violence in Northern Ireland as well but I haven’t mentioned that so far because I’m pretty sure surfer- has less than zero interest in that.

CaptainBrickbeard · 22/07/2018 14:26

And I expect the NHS to be sold off to American investors, resulting in worse quality and more expensive healthcare for all of us. No healthcare for the poorest people, whom I obviously hold in utter contempt so don’t care what with my left wing views and all.

CaptainBrickbeard · 22/07/2018 14:27

Can’t wait for all that lovely sovereignty though!

CaptainBrickbeard · 22/07/2018 14:32

But what I definitely don’t expect is for Channel 4 to be allowed to report on any of this. I think they should be banned from broadcasting anything except slow-no footage of Raab looking super dreamy whilst he goes and shows all those EU forriners who’s the boss.

surferjet · 22/07/2018 14:44

I won’t be commenting any further on this thread, or indeed any other thread on this board.
I will be submitting my complaint against C4’s biased commentary - they have a duty to the 52% who voted leave & should be representing their views also.

Enjoy arguing with any leaver who dares to post on this board - god forbid anyone holds a different view to yours.

I’m done here.

I can't see Dominic Raab without seeing Rik Mayall Alan B'stard.

Their politics are similar too Sad and only one of the characters is satirical Hmm

Anasnake · 22/07/2018 14:48

It's called debate Surfer. Off you flounce

CaptainBrickbeard · 22/07/2018 14:51

god forbid anyone holds a different view to yours - hilarious, given THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD.

TheElementsSong · 22/07/2018 14:53

OMG I think I've ruptured something laughing.

Ta1kinpeace · 22/07/2018 14:54

@surferjet
You started the thread and I asked you a really simple question
Could you give us the three things that you expect Brexit to make better for you personally, as an individual?
Can you really not list three things that will be better for YOU ?
really ?

CaptainBrickbeard · 22/07/2018 14:55

And their duty to the 52% is the same as their duty to everyone else - to report on reality and what Brexit actually means. We all deserve the truth.

Pure comedy gold. Standup is your forte, OP.

CaptainBrickbeard · 22/07/2018 14:57

Talkin no, she really can’t and she never has. She doesn’t like immigration basically. That’s why she voted Leave and she thinks the benefit of leaving will be to end immigration. She has never, ever given us another reason and she’s been posting frequently since the referendum. She has been directly asked over and over to state how Brexit will be a good thing and she can’t. She can’t say ten things, five things or three things. And because she can’t do that, she huffs off on when challenged.

TheElementsSong · 22/07/2018 14:58

As the OP has moved on, I think we can answer any questions put to her on her behalf thusly:

You, & C4 news, need to respect the vote of the British people or shut the fuck up

Ta1kinpeace · 22/07/2018 15:01

Brickbeard
I know, I've been dipping in and out of the wind up surfer threads since before the vote Grin

Interestingly a real world rabidly pro brexit friend changed their mind after being treated in an NHS hospital
it finally proved to them that able bodied immigrants are a good thing

Jeanvaljean27 · 22/07/2018 15:01

This thread is such an effective demonstration why remainers think most leavers are, as OP puts it, ‘thick, uneducated and racist.’ The statistics provide the objective evidence. Threads like this complete the subjective part of the picture beautifully.

CaptainBrickbeard · 22/07/2018 15:01

TheElements, someone should put that on the side of a bus. It really sums up the Leave strategy as it currently stands.

CaptainBrickbeard · 22/07/2018 15:04

Ta1kin, oh, I thought you were genuinely hoping for an answer Grin.
