The Brexit Arms. The home of friendly chat & laughter.

Only 1 rule.
No c&p posts a mile long, they’re just boring & no one reads them.
Keep it short, sweet, & to the point.

Peace & Love ❤️🇬🇧❤️

Oh and troll hunting is a no no. Just reported to MN, I also told MN that cardinalsin is LIGHT HEARTED and NORMAL.

Blimey, is there anything you can’t find on the internet

Looks like May is on her way out ……..

Seems like Remain supporters have started staying in the Arms and Leavers are ... er ....leaving.
Pesky facts really put people off their pint.
Makes a change from the first "cheery news" Brexit Arms threads.

Will there be a GE do you think if May gets ousted ?

If Time4 returns with a petition for REAL chocolate as we had say 20 years ago without palm oil that would be something to get behind and celebrate.

Only a new GE if any new PM wants it. On the basis that you can fool some of the people some of the time but can't fool all the people all the time, it would be a big risk to go for a de facto Brexit approval GE.
If Corbyn had any sense in such a scenario he'd switch Labour to Remain. Wait ...Corbyn is a fucking Brexiteer too...

CardinalSin
You don’t call other thread users ‘scum’ or deliberately misspell their name to annoy. This is supposed to be a friendly chat thread, & it is until you turn up, so take your over the top argumentative attitude & get lost.

Calling someone scum is handly the same thing as continuously supporting a movement that will destablise NI and kill the NHS and thus damage, harm and may be kill the people of this country.

One thing is a minorly insulting word the other thing has long term real world consequences.

I'm gonna say this again, cardinalsin is a LIGHT HEARTED and NORMAL indivdual

Hazardswan - everything you cite there is conjecture. You don’t really know any of that will come to pass.

It’s ok - remain = virtue, leave = unbridled heresy for these folks

That they cannot even acknowledge the leave perspective says a lot about why they lost the vote.

Remain was a perfectly rational choice - I get it. But so is remain.

Well there’s a Freudian slip.

Thats a slip and a half 10

Yes - but it will cheer the usual suspects up at least in this lighthearted thread

Jumping on typos is fun if you are bereft of argument :)

Well yes, they can run around predicting the end of world all day long if they like ( & some of them do ) but this is not the thread for them. She/he should start their own pub thread. ‘The doom mongers arms’ or something.

The main thing wrong with 'leaving' is that it will not solve the underlying issues concerning many in the UK.
There is increasing evidence that it will make matters significantly WORSE.
As a simple, easy to spot example that has ALREADY happened, the value if the Pound has dropped a couple of percent since the 2016 vote.
Yes the value of the Pound has risen a bit in the last week or so, but is still WAY below the value 2 years ago.
Another 'negative' is that stonking piles of cash are being thrown at preparations for Brexit, which need not have happened and is already many times MORE than the amount the UK pays into the EU.
Sadly these 2 items are FACTS.

JasonJHunter keeps going on about the Great Repeal Act (whatever it's formal name is). GRA says that there must not be any change to how people & goods & vehicles move over the NI border. UK cannot set anything up different. In meantime... (25.8.18)

@surfer
I missed the possibility of 'toons' last evening, and would have been happy to talk drinking or whatever.

Im always doing it 10

In my case (not in yours in this instance) it's usually when i think ive said something insightful or put someone straight

And then i read it back and think shiiiiiitttt

Someone in even the "naicest" pub (and especially even if the conversation was light-hearted) who said that "NI and Scotland are expendable" in front of people who'd lived through the Troubles and/or lost family or friends because of the Troubles would get short thrift and change the atmosphere of the pub.

A good landlord would expel such a person.

That's not denying facts. That's simple humanity.

@10degreestostarboard

I'm sorry but your explanation about how the EU are blackmailing us over NI doesn't explain anything. What are you saying the EU want (the ranson in your scenario) and what are threatening to do to NI (the hostage in your scenario)?

prettybird

Her 1st post on this thread was to annoy 10degreestostarboard by deliberately misspelling her name, that was long before last nights conversation.

Well said prettybird.
3,637 reasons for us never ever to forget how precious this peace is.

If someone is so easily triggered by having their fake name misspelled in an anonymous online forum they are a bit ..... snowflaky.

Massive derail but, please can someone tell me how strikethrough works on MN with an iPad. I have spent 10 mins of my life which I won’t get back trying to get a line through a word FFS ( i’m feeling ragey now😡)
