    A bit patronising that, Stan. After all the fear that Remain have been spreading since the referendum, they will be making their own minds up. I don't believe there will be a huge economic shock from WTO, because the UK and the EU will do everything in their power to reduce friction and avoid job losses on either side of the Channel. We may not be ready yet - if two or three months was used to prepare, that would be ok, but parliament is mostly remain so even then, I think they'd stop it

    Ah, but she is Labour Leave. I'd have thought you'd go for her. There's Kate Hoey, but I don't see her as a leader somehow

    Brilliant post Bob. It’s the same as ‘it might be a bit bumpy with a no deal Brexit’. I can survive a ‘bit bumpy’. People already using food banks can’t. It’s an arrogant and thoughtless position. They wish ill on the EU because if it fails that will somehow justify their prejudice against it. The EU needs change, which might not happen, but a collapse will bring suffering to hundreds of millions of people. But who cares, they’re foreigners.

    I thought about this the other day. Someone said it would be a Boris or someone younger. The Tories have many young MP's that they are saying will be the future... saying that a lot of the good ones are leavers so who knows. remember Farage started out as a Tory but felt they were too Eurosceptic. <laugh>

    What a load of bollocks. The member states of the EU have been going a lot longer than the attempt at a federal Europe. Ask the young people in Italy and Spain whether they'll be losing their jobs. They won't because they haven't got a ****ing job

    In what way is it patronising? What evidence do you have for not believing in a ‘huge economic shock’? It won’t take a huge shock to push many already on the edge right over it.

    Are you now arguing for a delay?

    I think a few anti-EU comments have upset him.

    You, the intellectual, are telling people they don't know their own minds. That's straight out of the manifesto for Islington Labour. I've told you why on the economy - if the UK and EU work together to keep tariffs down etc, it can hugely mitigate any adverse effects. I don't know the state of preparation for no deal. If the government take 3 months to improve it, that would be acceptable in my books

    Mate, I really don’t think I’d vote for any of them anymore......I’ll stick to TUSC......but even they’ll let me down at some time.
    Probably won’t even vote anymore.

    Yeah, I feel like that sometimes. Many will if Brexit is denied

    I'm not sure. The post to me sounded like he threw his toys out of the pram. Maybe when I said the the EU will self destruct he was worried about the mass youth unemployment in the EU? :1980_boogie_down:

    Add content baby blue.

    Oops, you can’t, you poor little victim. You’ve been betrayed!

    I’d have thought that a man with a degree, two degrees as you have a masters unless you were at Oxford or Cambridge, could cope with a few sentences of reading.
    what the **** are you talking about? Do you want the EU to fail or not? I’ll ask my brother, sister in law (though she is foreign) nieces and nephew in Madrid what they think of the EU before I take your word for it. And just because you can survive a ‘bit bumpy’ doesn’t mean others can.

    I’m enjoying this. Got a sore throat and am treating it with Montepulciano. When the goals start going in at LR I’ll take the gloves off.

    Oh dear you have just lowered your standards now. Getting like the other muppets that I cancelled out.

    :emoticon-0100-smile I wish the best for the people of Europe. But if they decide to make life difficult for the bureaucrats of Brussels, I won't complain. As to bumpy ride, the govt is reportedly putting together a hardship fund which is right. I'd pay more tax for that.

    If Eze could cross, he'd be a half decent player

    Agree but it just shows you how nasty some get when an argument doesn't go their way. They need to get personal like some of the other muppets. For all their talk they are actually sad people.

    Stan's got a sore throat, so think we should give him a free pass on this one! If we can beat Massive, we'll all feel a lot better
