The Brexit Arms

[BrandySours]

And so it is done....! 🙌

Finally!

🥳 🎉 🇬🇧 🍾 🥂

Merry Xmas!!

@bellinisurge

Seems you you lot are the ones who haven't moved on. I don't see any point in campaigning to rejoin. Not now. But electoral reform, NI formal separation from the UK. Indyref2. Those are things I look forward to.

‘You lot’ - I’d forgotten you kept calling us a cult on the other thread 😂

I really do hope you can move on Bellini - life’s too short to constantly be so negative & bitter. It takes its toll and it's not good for your mental health.

Enjoy the 🍿 at the bar - next round of 🥂 is on me.

"the majority of Brexiteers seem pretty joyful to me"
You all sound quite cross to me!

bellinisurge:
Obsessive? Whatever .. it's your Brexit, you're still here.

We're still here because it IS our Brexit. One we voted for and are celebrating. We ARE joyful . You shouldn't be surprised at that, given that this is the Brexit Arms!

I love how seeing the impending return of sovereignty to NI and Scotland is apparently negative and grim.
Just because it's an unintended consequence of your project.
I'm more optimistic about this than I have ever been for years.
I should thank you.

@TerryHearn

Britain was a net contributor. Hence the EU was sorry to see us go. Why does the EU need another mouth to feed in Scotland? The SNP’s position is the equivalent of resigning from an overpaid job to go on the dole (paid for by the EU). Why do they need Scotland? How many net contributors do the EU have left to pay for them? How can Scotland economically support itself outside of the UK without immediately joining the EU?

They can crack on and see what happens I suppose.

I believe there's the potential for a lot of profit to be made by European banks from lending to Scotland. Even if there were a Greek-style crisis and the profits from repayments were returned, profits can still be made from the financial instability this causes, thanks to bond sales offering a safer investment alternative. I'm not sure how the Scots would take extremely harsh austerity (far beyond anything the Conservatives have imposed in England) or taxation increases that would reach deeply into the middle class.

You all sound quite cross to me!

Must be confusing the Brexit supporters on this thread with the shit-posters 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm joyful!

My vote was (finally) delivered on
We're (finally) out of the EU & with a trade deal

What's not to love?!

Boris has delivered on his promise to Get Brexit Done

That's the number one reason why I voted for him & his party last year (a close second was keeping the 🤡 Corbyn away from power)

Onwards & upwards for 🇬🇧
Finally unshackled from the EU behemoth 🙌

One poster I'd have liked to have caught up with was 🐻

Does anyone know what happened to her??

I hope she's well

Well said Brandy.
It is amazing what they are predicting.
Do you remember George Osbourne was going to have to an emergency budget if we voted Leave.
Still waiting.
I voted for Boris as Leader of the Party.
And then again when he called a general election and got himself elected as PM with a large majority with a promise to "Get Brexit Done".
And he delivered.
I will quite understand if he stands down soon so he can earn some money, get married to Carrie and bring up young Wilfred.
Then I will vote for Michael Gove to be leader.

Why do they all hate the UK and want to see its downfall. 🤷‍♀️
I enjoyed the champagne and fireworks last night and some people in my lovely village are flying Union Jacks.

I waiting for the promised super-gonorrhoea now 😉😂

This explains your posts. Sounds like you're from a fairly well off and sheltered background living typical British village life. Probably think that there isn't really much poverty in the UK and no one ever really struggles or at least turn a blind eye to it when you vote happily for Eton educated types who you see as your class. Bullingdon Boys burning £50 notes in front of homeless people is just high jinx.

I can understand why sovereignty means a lot to you. You get a sense of pride from seeing Union Jacks and patriotism means a lot to you. Poverty and job losses are things that happen in big cities well away from your cosy life. Might as well be on the other side of the planet.

GDP dropping 5% and the lack of public funds that comes from it doesn't really affect you and is a small price to pay. You were one of those types that when questioned by YouGov thought that leaving the EU is more important that Irish republicans taking up arms again or your own children livelihoods. It won't really affect you.

I imagine you're probably quite a nice kind lady in real life, misguided but I get it, I have friends born and bred in Surrey, they are similar but have never known real hardship or needed state support for anything but that is due to nothing else than an accident of birth. I do just wish that people like you could just get the empathy needed to put themselves into someone else's shoes and not see Britain through rose tinted Tory specs.

Don't Brandy it would most probably mutate with Covid and create SuperCovid2024Lockdownlevel17 🤪😜

I haven't seen 🐻 for quite a while unfortunately, (although these days I am only on here in fits and starts as workload dictates). I hope things are still good with her🍷.

2021 sounds promising for you Brandy onwards and upwards.👍😍.

Quick 🍷 for Epic as it's that time of the evening.

And this is why the remainers failed. For failing to understand the needs of those working class people in areas of mass poverty in the UK, who voted leave because it was the only chance of a better future for them. You have not got a bloody clue.

I honestly don't understand how anyone can vote for such a vocal racist and misogynist. Have you not heard all the stuff he's said and written over the years? Theres a poster on here who's a real Tory supporter, s/he says we should never repeat the racist stuff he's said/written (I suspect its just to hide his character) but regardless, s/he right, the next generation shouldn't learn the racist/sexist/homophobic language he uses. Awful, awful man, it makes me ashamed to have such a person in charge. Have a Leaver by all means but why would you want such a bigot? And then theres all the lying. I've never seen any politician lie as much as him.

I think the fact that so much of the country says an awful lot about our character as a nation. It's very sad.

Always 🤔 It's standard procedure projection and assumptions everywhere. I am currently listening to LBC and a caller just described how both industries he worked in were directly affected by the A8 countries joining in 2004. Companies recruited directly from Poland and undercut British wages causing companies to cut current employees wages or go out of business (He was on £150 a day, New employees on £80). His DP was a carer earning £14 ph in 2004 and £9.50 today due to similar issues.

So much of the country try Love him!

To leverage Scotland up to the eyeballs. Without any way of servicing the debt. Good plan.... I’ve seen it somewhere else before...

Let's see how that goes for them.

It's bloody frightening.

Electing a hard right Tory government as a chance for a better future for working class people?

Has every Tory government since 1945 not shown you their mindset?

Electing a hard right Tory government as a chance for a better future for working class people?

You seem incredulous. Which just goes to show how little you understand about why this happened in the first place. And thus, no chance whatsoever of reversing it.

Oh look, here we go, blame an immigrant! Not a single word of criticism of the British bosses I notice, why is that I wonder? Why is it the immigrants that you immediately target for blame and not the bosses?
