Off Topic UK / EU Future

UK bashing, volume 25.

 

Not a case of UK. bashing SH. Those of us who live abroad have more daily contact with this than you do, and Frenchie is right in saying that it is not nice to see your own country losing status in this way.

 

What am I supposed to say? Everything is fine, there is a strong and stable government in place, the PM is doing a great job, the people who want to remain are a tiny minority and the opposition has a very clear policy on a future relationship.

 

But the Hard Brexiters that you support, supposedly, did not want that as too many strings attached...

If we have to Brexit, I like many sensible people, would support a soft Brexit, aligning the UK to the EU, but sitting outside, however, I would vote remain again, given the chance as is my democratic right.

Most Europeans that I meet on my travels, have real sympathy, zero UK bashing, a real concern for the future of our countries.. I don't tend to hang out with ideologues or xenophobes.. Most people want a peaceful prosperous future

Excellent news Boris, if elected as the new PM, will withhold the ransom payment in the event of a no deal. This will help concentrate the minds of the EU bully boys so they can negotiate with respect and fairness. This will also go down very well with the Tory membership who have always hated the thought of the UK being blackmailed.

 

The latest poll has the UK leaving the EU without a deal as the most popular option, the MPs need to remember their previous promises and fall in line with public opinion.

 

How can you negotiate with ' respect and fairness' when you continually deride anybody from the EU..??

Are you illiterate, dyslexic or just very ignorant? The word is remainer

 

As far as I know I will not be asked to negotiate.

 

not put your name forward then?

 

No, I'm far too busy in my new garden.

 

Dare I express being confounded by BoJos announcement that he will give monies saved by a no deal Brexit to higher tax payers??? What happened to his NHS promises?? Bare faced electioneering.. And revealing of his true nature..?

The government brought forward the bonus of Brexit and is giving more than the £350 million per week new money to the NHS. His proposed relief towards those paying excessive tax is sensible.

 

You think the tax you pay is excessive?

I was not talking about myself, you should not jump to inaccurate conclusions.

 

Reducing the tax rate on these middle earners can incentivise extra work hours therefore increasing the overall tax take.

 

I'm quite happy with my tax rate thanks, as I only pay 10% through the entrepreneurs relief scheme.

 

It is quite strange how out of step the UK seems to be with so many countries around the world. There was a general election in Denmark recently, one of the more highly taxed countries in Europe. Rather than vote for the ruling parties that had cut back on services, the population returned a government with parties making a promise to restore the things that people rely on even if it costs them more. The far right who wanted to cut back even more had their number of seats halved. In the UK the population were led to believe that they only needed to leave the EU and everything that localities need would be available again. Strangely the day after the referendum the politicians who had made these promises tried to jump back, adding massive caveats to what they had been saying. These same politicians are now competing to run the country, and we know from experience now that you cannot believe a word they are saying.
