Off Topic OLOF's political thread

Not interested in any extreme publications, regardless of which end of the spectrum

 

I believe you may've just put yourself on watch Marcus.

Extreme publications, as you describe them are not solely posted on the Brexit thread, nor are they limited to Brexit, EU and terrorist information and publications, replies to views and opinions fall in your category too..........just a thought....

 

Genuinely don’t know what you mean so don’t know if it is with malice or not (really I don’t)

 

Weird, very weird

 

Knights Templar being used as a gauge

 

Surely even Arch Brexiteers have got to admit that David Davis is an idiot

Ironically in an idiotic move posted a repeat message....

 

And in a double Ironic post your link just leads to a pay a subscription to the Financial Times. are you on commision ?

 

You mean you don't subscribe to the FT?

 

No I just sell them a few stories,to wind you guys up.

 

In which case congratulations as I’d have never thought you would be able to get away with the idea that the idiot who has been going around saying that we must be prepared to walk away without a deal is now complaining that the EU are preparing for a no deal outcome...

 

We are also preparing for a no deal,now.We need to as backstabbing anti democracy voters have been sabotaging discussions.

 

Still waiting for a response. As you say, weird at best. I did ask for clarification but maybe weird makes sense to him / her, that would explain a lot.

 

Let me try to help Marcos. I'm sure he won't mind me replying on his behalf, me and him being good buddies. After re reading his post several times, I think when you said you weren't interested in extreme publications, he thought you meant his post in general, not the extreme publication he provided a link to.

 

A (serious) question for both brexiters and remainers alike.

If sanity does not prevail and we do leave, what are your views on U.K. joining EFTA (rejoining actually) but staying outside the EEA?

I won’t express an opinion, but this article lays out some arguments in favour:

Like - we can do trade deals with anyone, including using EFTAs 38 existing deals, we can (try to) negotiate a unique customs deal with the EU, we don’t have to sign up to the 4 freedoms, and no direct control by the ECJ.

On the negative side, other EFTA countries pay (lower) contributions to the EU budget, so it’s likely we would too; and in practice if we want a good deal we would need to allow free movement of labour (not citizens, they have to have a job).

Plus we could all spend the £50 extra a week on free Union Jack chest tattoos on the NHS.

Views?

 

Don't have a view. shall we talk about the weather now ?

 

Ooh, the weather thread, I’m tingling with anticipation

 

We could start a loyalty thread,

You thick t w a t you voted Leave, but have no view on what it should look like? Streeeeeeewwwwttttthhhh

 

I just knew that would wind you up can't be bothered to read it now,and you know I only like to quote facts.
