Leavers rejoice

The Brexit Party are doing really well in the polls. I just hope they do as well in the election.
I think their slogan should be "Tell them again".
I would like to see a clean sweep of Brexiteers but I know that is not going to happen.
I have sent off my postal vote.

{Is it just trampolines being given away or can we ask for a free holiday to somewhere nice and sunny?}
Leave means whatever you want it to mean and you are (apparently) entitled to stamp your feet if you don't get it.

bellinisurge · 21/05/2019 15:10

The people have spoken and they will all get free trampolines. Any attempt to try and muddy the waters with erroneous references to sunny holidays which are not what the people want will be ignored.

1tisILeClerc · 21/05/2019 15:16

But we want our own customised trampoline. I want mine to be in the French Alps.

Peregrina · 21/05/2019 15:34

I wonder what plans Farage has for the workers of Scunthorpe.
I don't suppose he need worry about Jamie Oliver's redundant staff - aren't they nearly all E European? They can just go back home, surely?

Peregrina · 21/05/2019 16:28

Disappointing to see no response from the rejoicing Leavers about what they will be asking Farage to do.

ContinuityError · 21/05/2019 17:29

Farage probably too busy getting his suit dry cleaned and working out his funding story for the EU and the Electoral Commission to be worrying about little Brexit related things like bailing out British Steel.

PortiaCastis · 21/05/2019 17:41

Seems nige is further in the shite

I know what I will be expecting Nigel Farage to do.
To pressurise the government into leaving the EU.

PortiaCastis · 21/05/2019 18:08

How's he going to pressurise the government when he's not even an MP

bellinisurge · 21/05/2019 18:13

Yes, @Coppersulphate . How will he do that?
Do you still believe in our parliamentary system or should we just have referenda now?

Tanith · 21/05/2019 18:22

If you're prepared to sign a blank cheque, which is effectively what you will be doing if you vote for the Brexit party, could you send one my way?

I'm sure I can think up lots of meaningless slogans, if that's what you like to hear.

jasjas1973 · 21/05/2019 19:46

I know what I will be expecting Nigel Farage to do

Visit the dry cleaners? or get a good lawyer?

He is a con artist, selling cow turds as chocolate gateau to the gullible, who eat his wares and tell us all how good they taste.

For those in Scunthorpe they are now finding out the cost of believing this man.

Peregrina · 21/05/2019 20:01

I should have spelt it out plainly. What will Farage supporters expect him to offer the workers laid off at Scunthorpe?

PortiaCastis · 21/05/2019 21:00

^^^ this analysis is spot on ..........also made me laugh Grin

Lonelycrab · 21/05/2019 22:39

Doesn’t seem to be many leavers celebrating on this thread.

Perhaps op, could you explain what will be possible, that will actually be better than the situation right now once we leave with no deal?

Like actual examples of what will happen, the things in our day-to-day life that will, by leaving the eu, mean our lives will be improved?

Could you tell us pls.

As there may be a lot of hardship for many to get to where you think you want to be.

Ps hoping I got post 666

Lonely,
I am celebrating the high poll rating of the Brexit party which was why I started this thread.

I will not be explaining anything to you or any of the other remainers on this thread.

Keep asking.
I will keep ignoring.

I know exactly why I want to leave the EU. I suspect you know why you want to remain. I think you are misguided but that is up to you.
I hope you all enjoy coming here and wasting your time heckling and asking for endless explanations. And feel free to continue posting insults. Water off a ducks back comes to mind.

Asking a question isn’t an insult.

Lonelycrab · 21/05/2019 23:31

But my point still stands, there don’t seem to be many leavers rejoicing. I think that’s because there’s nothing to actually rejoice.

lonelyplanetmum · 22/05/2019 05:49

That's exactly right - Ultimately even the Faragists know there is nothing to rejoice about.You're bound to have doubts supporting anyone who is :

  1. Is bankrolled by an insurance millionaire to the extent of £450,000 in one year alone.
  2. Wants to destroy the NHS and move to insurance based healthcare.
  3. Thinks breast feeding women are ostentatious and should sit in a corner.
  4. Has shown high irresponsibility by taking a high salary as an MEP for 18 years with little work ethic shown in return.
  5. Has an attendance in the parliament his was paid to attend ranked 748 out of 751.
  6. Has frequently shown complete disloyalty to the U.K. saying he would prefer to live in the US.
lonelyplanetmum · 22/05/2019 06:01

In fact deep down who would feel 100% certain of rejoicing over supporting anyone who avoids manifestos because he shifts position on many issues. For example shifting from a Norway style relationship, to No deal, then to increasing hints that the 'fight' is not about leaving the EU any more.

bellinisurge · 22/05/2019 06:32

@Coppersulphate surely the real celebrating is when Brexit is a success in reality and not in a Faridgist fantasy.
Doesn't it trouble you even a little but that just under half the votes weren't for Leave? How do you plan to win people over. By triumphalism? Because that never works. Ever. In any sphere. You just make people even more resentful. Which is going according to plan if that's your plan.

1tisILeClerc · 22/05/2019 07:00

{Water off a ducks back comes to mind.}

In a vacuum there is silence is more accurate.

SevenTimesSix · 22/05/2019 07:55

*I will not be explaining anything to you or any of the other remainers on this thread.

Keep asking.
I will keep ignoring.*

Sigh.

If all leavers take that stance, the two sides have no hope of ever understanding one another and remainer / leaver divisions continue indefinitely in the UK.

If there are really Brexit benefits, why can't they be clearly and simply stated IRL or online? If it can't be done, it's fine to admit that too.

In most areas of life we're allowed to be as sketchy or irrational as we like about our views within the bounds of the law. We don't have to justify all our opinions with reams of evidence and research and will often fall down and make fools of ourselves if we try.

I hate beetroot but don't have to assemble a body of backing research before this becomes a valid opinion. There's no requirement to pretend that strong evidence has demonstrated X, Y and Z about beetroot. Even though I know it's full of nutrients, good value for money and already sitting on the shelf in every supermarket, I still can't stand it and won't buy it.

Is EU membership just the beetroot of many Leavers?

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 22/05/2019 07:55
