Brexit Arms - Pop Up

Well I’m going to have a crack at this Landlady business and I’ve opened a pop up pubSmile.

Rules are:
Anything brexit related is up for discussion and even not Brexit related if you feel the need (so if you want to discuss Haemoroids that’s ok too Wink).

I’m ok with a bit of arseyness (it’s an emotive subject) but if you go full monty in here I reserve the right to withhold all alcoholic beverages.

I have reserved a quiet table for MNHQ if they want to pop in for a quiet drink (Happy Hour is 6-7pmSmile).

Haven’t properly caught up yet with today’s Brexit news yet but looks like we are finally facing end game, that said still plenty of days left for high jinks and holidays.

Anyone have any views on how they think the next few days will play out are welcome to voice here.

First drinks are on the house WineWine 🍻 Cheers

I might have a biscuit

You're so rock n roll 😂

A bounce in the £ and a GE Jason with all parties promising massive wadges of investment cash.

DustyDiamond · 17/10/2019 19:17

So we are leaving on 31st?

Not if anti-Brexit dickheads in Parliament get their way, no 🙄

Saturday is where it's at - I shall be glued to BBC Parliament like a sad case

And the blessed relief of not having to hear the words 'put it back to the people' any more

I'm heartily sick of that

Jason118 · 17/10/2019 19:24

So nothing really good (apart from biscuits), just different turmoil and uncertainty. Ho hum

What's wrong with biscuits, they're greatSmile

yellowallpaper · 17/10/2019 19:36

I must admit if the deal does get passed on Saturday most of the country will be pretty gobsmacked.

frumpety · 17/10/2019 19:45

The best thing about the WA passing on Saturday is remaining in the EU for another 3 years , technically out, as in saying we are going, but moving slowly along the road to out out iyswim.

Possibly almost as sick as I am of hearing 'the will of the people'. As if the 48% aren't bloody people too.

I think the reality is ‘most’ of the country won’t give a shiny shite either way and only ever would if / when it affected them.

Jason118 · 17/10/2019 19:55

Spot on @Bearbehind . Most people I've engaged with have only talked in soundbites, nothing tangible is ever really discussed.

dirtyrottenscoundrel · 17/10/2019 19:56

Agree Bearbehind - an awful lot of people couldn’t give a toss either way.

BercowsFlyingFlamingo · 17/10/2019 20:07

Many people don't possess critical thinking skills, alas, which is why we are in this mess.

dirtyrottenscoundrel · 17/10/2019 20:11

In reality, not many people will be affected by brexit. Positively or negatively.
That’s my opinion anyway.

NoWordForFluffy · 17/10/2019 20:14

You're either the world's biggest optimist or entirely deluded!

Jason118 · 17/10/2019 20:14

Anyway, what about biscuits, what sorts will we be getting?

DustyDiamond · 17/10/2019 20:19

but moving slowly along the road to out out iyswim

It's movement in the right direction though so I'm good with that 😊

DustyDiamond · 17/10/2019 20:20

I can appreciate that 😊

It will be refreshing to actually move forward instead of rehashing the past

DustyDiamond · 17/10/2019 20:25

I think the reality is ‘most’ of the country won’t give a shiny shite either way and only ever would if / when it affected them.

I agree

But I do think many of those who likely won't give a shit were getting angry recently because they were feeling affected in the sense that Parliament were blocking Brexit

They might not care what happens next, but the perception that a Democratic instruction isn't being delivered upon is a big deal to people

bellinisurge · 17/10/2019 20:28

@Jason118 bourbons and hob nobs. Both dunkable.

Jason118 · 17/10/2019 20:29

Perception is a dangerous thing. Reality is a better judge.

Jason118 · 17/10/2019 20:30

Bourbons, nobody told me about Bourbons! Why have we waited so long!

Jason118 · 17/10/2019 20:30

I hear a bell........
