My prediction (well, not actually mine, I read versions of this in various media);

May keeps kicking the can down the road while Boris, Liam Fox and David Davis do what they do best, ie nothing of substance, they carry the blame for their ineptitude, the referendum gets overtaken by events, article 50 goes the way of the 18th century corn laws (look it up), Romanian gypsies move in next door to Kustard and one of them marries his daughter.

Everyone lives happily ever after.


Dont have a daughter, but nice try <laugh>

In reality, we leave the EU, all will come good and Romanian gypsies live next door to Archers Road and set up a brothel, and one of the men takes his wife away from him, because see wants excitement that AR cant offer in the bed.

true that.

Here's hoping that prediction comes true in your particular case.
 
I've been told that I should mention that I know a Russian who lives in the UK who's loaded and has 2 kitchens. I have no idea why I should post this it's on advice of a long standing member of this forum.

So what is everones views on what they think will happen over Brexit

Will it be a full exit or a soft one with may strings attached
Neither. They'll bin it after they've worked out that they can't do it.
This will be followed by Nigel Farage frothing at the mouth, moaning about sovereignty and then storming out to his 2nd home in France.
He'll be joined there by Boris and The Donald and they'll film a sitcom together.

It won't be anything like this, before anyone else posts it:

Warning: Utterly ****, despite being an idea that's hard to make unfunny.

Maybe they could do it in a Producers style in homage to Gene Wilder - so that their far-right shenanigans are so bad it's funny and becomes a great hit! (Springtime for Farage and UKIP...)

They did. It was called Brexit.
I was going to say that Brexit: The Musical wouldn't surprise me, but then I thought it was so obviously that I'd better Google it.
Someone's already done it. <doh>

1. So if the UK was not an EU member, it has benefited from adopting legislation
made elsewhere, without incurring the cost/speed/tedium of participating in its creation.

2. The UK is free to put in its own legislation that the EU either did not consider or
do not agree with.

Hmm ...

So could Ireland. It didn't. That was the point.

This isn't always about a "them and us" fella. Everyone seems to be digging their heels in on this thread without any give and take. Sometimes whatever your overall position, you have to take a step back and say "fair enough".

In this instance Ireland could have done a whole host of things to ensure a corporate company paid its full share of tax. It didn't and the EU stepped in and enforced something that many of us feel agrieved about with a number of large corporates who use loopholes to avoid having to pay. Regardless of any criticism of the EU this isn't some minor tax bill. It's £11bn, a significant amount which will hopefully affect the lives of many through the economy. In that sense, the EU has served a useful purpose.

If you fancy a pedantic argument then yes.

But since the majority of 1.6 billion Muslims just get on with their lives and live amongst fellow humans...I would if I was sincere with my queries take them as an example.

You would too, but that's not what interests you.

Read this thread from your last message and you will see what I mean because many others have answered your question a lot more eloquently than me, I would just be repeating what they said.

God forbid, the likes of ISIS come onto our shores....who's side do you think I and 99% of the other Muslims would be fighting on?

What would that say to you? Or are you gay and therefore troubled.

Well you can try and discredit that point as much as you wish, but you were gearing up to 'put folk like me to bed' on the very same premise. You can do it with whatever labelling you wish, I happen to believe that minor details are very important, case in point, this 'pedantic' argument has shown you to be complacent. The world is learning more about Islam everyday, those same specious arguments that worked for you 20 years ago simply won't cut it today. Many have taken to the use of the word Islamophobia, but that's not going to stand much longer either once people start to realise it's essentially an anti-blasphemy law (in a secular country) forcefully imposed on them by intimidating Islamists and their little Kaffir guard dogs (@Tobes).

I'd like to point you again towards the Pew research, your implication that the majority of these 1.6 billion people just go about their lives, by western standards, is very misleading.

No one has answered any of my questions or responded to me competently. Me saying that Islam isn't peaceful is not countered by people bringing up what Christians used to do. It's intellectual dishonesty.

Fighting at a time of invasion is carried out by the army, and there are more British born Muslims in the ranks of ISIS than there are in the British army...

Sounds like somebody was stupid. All intelligent people know that the Leave campaign was not the government so couldn't say what the government would do. Anybody who thought they were must be an idiot.

Number of british muslims 2.7 million.
Number serving in isis 500-1000 estimate.
Number in British Army 560.

So what we are looking at is numbers so small as to be statistically insignificant except to those looking to subvert for their own purpose.

Plenty of people have given competent responses that your ideology refuses to accept, which is a pity.

I can't even be bothered to engage with the moronic, bigoted ****er!...

They weren't sensible like you Pete. That said, I doubt they consider being 22 stone, mortgaged up to the eyeballs at 64 and working as a book keeper out of a garage in a Mitcham slum to be the height of success.

It would appear then that you agree that many people who voted for leave were idiots. At last you see the the light. Well done.
