Brexit Deal

[rivarama]

Well the longest working hours in Europe probably explains why Europe is **. They’re clearly alll not working hard enough.
As for the rest, the grass is always greener, why don’t you move to Europe then.

And why don’t you move back to the UK full time instead of preaching from a land far away giving people lessons? Being here in the muck and living with the reality of what’s happening here might surely be worth it given your high principles. I’ve always respected leaders that led by example ;-)

 

[rivarama]

Only because a remainer Pm mishandled it 700 odd days ago and now we have less than 80 to get it right and correct her **** ups

Is that official party line if no deal gets through? It’s Mays fault?

I don’t remember him making ANY suggestion other than pissing all over her parade.

Oh and when given the job after the vote, he caved in like the spineless leader he is, knowing full well it was an impossible task. He showed he has no balls, no vision, just banter and oxbridge verbiage he uses to criticise everything. Standing aside of a **** storm and pointing finger have never made good leaders.

I said that a while ago, but he's happy a throwing stones a long distance...

 

[Wattie]

Oh where to start.
Uk move, no thanks.
Very happy over here.

If "no-deal" ends up being the case its because May negotiated a diabolical deal no-one could support because of our appaling legal position and Europe has held us to her diabolical deal. So yes Its her fault we dont have an alternative- she was PM and she carried the can
.
I made lots of suggestions as did all those who resigned in their resignation letters- go back and look. It was clear she wasn't up to the job.

I'm no fan of Johnson but he's to be respected for standing up for the referendum vote and for doing what others failed to do so miserably.

Nice to see you back in the debate, I'll keep "throwing my stones" in response to the stones being thrown. I dont take it personally, I hope you dont either. Just different views.

Now where was I,

 

[midlifecrisis]

So if you are over there happy as Leisure Suit Larry, why do you give a toss about the EU? Surely you have some Australian politicans to moan about, and trust me they are more woeful than Boris... Julia Gillard , Malcolm Turnbull to name a few ... there's some prize plums as State PM's too...

 

[Wattie]

I experienced the Eu first hand in Cyprus and I didn’t like what I saw.
I also have the Financial knowledge to see where it’s heading and I think the Uk is better out of it.
You’re right, some real plonkers here, but I don’t get a vote here.
I had the right to vote in the Uk and expected it to be respected and implemented if I was in the majority,

You're lucky, I know a few UK expats (migrants) who didn't receive their postal votes on time to vote in the referendum.

Yeah I was one of those in NZ.

Mine wasn’t a postal vote, I was living in Bath before, during and after the referendum.

Shame about those poor UK citizens living outside the UK at the time of the referendum, they didn't even get a chance to vote. The same could apply to all the EU citizens residing long-term in the UK who weren't even allowed to vote on their future.

But, hey, I'm alright Jack.

Or the youth who were 15 at the time of the vote and are now over 18 but have an adult life time of the consequencies. But hey the Daily Mail audience are alright jack, dead or dying...

N

Or the youth who were 15 at the time of the vote and are now over 18 but have an adult life time of the consequencies. But hey the Daily Mail audience are alright jack, dead or dying...

Note to self,
At all future votes include the younger generations cos they will be older one day. (Unless they vote the opposite to what you expect, In which case exclude them too I suspect)
Exclude the older generations as they will be dead sooner.

Honestly wtf is that.
Why draw a line at 15.....Let’s give 6 year olds the vote, no let’s give 4 year olds the vote too., no let’s make it eligible for those that can crawl.
Seems your idea of democracy is limiting those that can vote or not vote on a particular subject to get the result that you wish.
Why didn’t you complain before the vote about this clear breach of democratic rights?

By the way, The consequences may actually be really positive but you’re not open to that.
You’d rather about it and how some are “alright jack”.

Everything in life is “alright jack” for some and not for others.
We all win or lose constantly, every day.
Some just suck it up better and move on.

 

[doodlebug]

Some just suck it up better and move on.

And others will profit from it, while there are those who haven't got the wherewithal to do so and will suffer miserably. But let's not worry about them. As I said, I'm alright Jack.

It is becoming more apparent that those that will profit the most from Brexit are the ones making the loudest noise...

It might open up new opportunities for some who up till now under “remain” had nothing.
Maybe they voted “leave” to see what the other side looks like?
It’s clear that dissatisfaction with the status quo played a part in the surprise result to leave......that no-one on the remain side saw coming.

Oh, and the ones making the loudest noise now are those trying to stop it.......

We can hear you all the way from Australia, so who is making the loudest noise?

 

[Wanderer]

Boris Johnson is a moron..

Boris Johnson wants Ireland to leave EU trade rules and form a new union with the UK instead after Brexit

Under the plan, Ireland would voluntarily agree to temporarily leave European Union trading rules and align with the UK instead.

I’m not asking you to listen. You keep coming back.
It is amusing that you think that no-one has profited from being in the Eu and that there are no people who don’t suffer miserably just now. Were you worried about them before Brexit...they weren’t profiting then either?

Listening is a quiet activity...

Of course I was worried about those that suffered, but it will be the exact same people who will suffer again after Brexit.

Wattie, I think you've been in Australia too long as you seem to have taken on one of their worst characteristics. As my old man used to say, "You can always tell an Aussie, but you can't tell him much"

Well today could be interesting as BJ meeting Macron who says the UK have to pay the Divorce bill.
Let's see what happens as the big day draws near.

Funny how it looks like Europe is beginning to blink.....
“even bleaker than expected”

ECB eyes stimulus package as growth looks weaker - minutes

A combination of measures may be needed to prop up the euro zone economy, as recent indicators paint an even bleaker picture of the outlook, European Central Bank policymakers said at their July meeting, the accounts of the meeting showed on Thursday.
