Will it hell! Brexit will be great for this country, even it's most ardent supporter stated it could take up to half a century to see any benefits!! There are some seriously deluded people out there whom are easily swayed by propaganda. Food prices will rise with a no deal and/or supply will be harder to get. Expect more debt, poverty and Food banks. GREAT BRITAIN
but think of the street parties everywhere in 30 years time when there will be beautiful bonfires of ration books
 
Barclays move €190 billion of assets from London to Dublin, because ‘we can’t put this off any longer’, bringing the total bleed of assets from UK financial services overseas (not just to the EU) to close to £1,000 billion to date. Probably New York, Hong Kong and Singapore will be the biggest beneficiaries.

I have no idea if this will make any difference to ordinary people or anybody’s thinking.

To be honest Paul, more money would help ;).
And at a time when the politicians in Brussels are making fortunes in wages and pension payments myself and many of my ‘leftie’ comrades don’t think it’s right.
For example, and please correct me if I’m wrong (‘cos I’d love to be wrong on this), is it true that the EU gets moved from Brussels to Strasbourg every month for 4 days at a cost of over £100 million a year.......is that really what our Money should be spent on ??
We are ALL having the piss taken out of us, open your eyes mate....join the ‘undertow’

I look at the excellent stuff the EU has done for the farmers first Staines ... it was a tough life before the EU then I look st the transformation in one of favourite places Ireland
I believe in being left mate but the U.K. has neglected it’s own people imo
The south self obsessed with greed killing our industrial nation and neglecting rural areas and the north

It’s a modern world Staines irreversible and global
Only way forward is together

Blame culture is a curse that the UK has grown and now acted upon too late

I left 15 years ago I suppose and if I believed that the nation could rebuild then I would have voted for Brexit ... working within a greed environment I saw the pace accelerate into doom ... I made provisions for my kin but I sincerely care about the country but I am spent

You’ve skirted my original comment Paul......if true, and of course I can’t say for it is, do you think that the spending of £160 million a year (that’s the figure I’ve seen quoted) to move base from Brussels to Strasbourg for 4 days a month each year is an acceptable price to pay.....or would that money be better spent on Spanish/Greek/British people instead.

You are being conned by the biggest bunch of ****s ever to of existed (maybe except for the Nazis of course) but if you wanna support paying into Junckers or Farages pension fund then fair enough.....I really don’t.

Being conned is happening on a daily basis under this Tory government

Spot on mate, absolutely. The only thing with those bunch of ****s is I can TRY and vote them out, even though I’m becoming disillusioned with that.
Most of the ****s at the EU (and I’m not talking about the MEPs) are appointed.
 
interesting comments from Nigel Farage who was in Brussels next to Junker/Barnier. He gave a speech and he reckons that we are heading for a no deal Brexit with a 2-10 year free trade deal. Apparently he said for once they were somber after he spoke with no digs or nodding heads. he said they looked scared. He also got claps which is not the norm.
well done Nigel. :emoticon-0148-yes:

I’d gladly accept a no deal Brexit for a cup quarter-final.
Funny you mention 'no deal'... I really think that is going to be the outcome if the EU don
Open your eyes Ellers. Farage is the biggest hypocritical **** of them all.
He has been spot on with Brexit. You check his quotes/speeches.
He said from day one they would try and derail it. Even yesterday he said the hideous Cooper would fail. Farage doesn't come from my voting circles but when someone is right you have to give them credit.

Sorry yes that seems a lot of money I would imagine most Europeans would not like that

Pensions etc believe me Staines we have worse English people that are robbing you blind mate and worse still they are all betting on it at the same time I totally agree EU needs reform but thought that years ago

What the U.K. has become is my focus
It’s on a knife edge imo and regardless of politics
The average U.K. person will be a lot worse off not of the U.K.

I honestly think those fat, over paid ****ers are having it so good that they are incapable of reform.
Meanwhile the poor of Europe get completely ****ed over.

And I totally agree, there are just as many scumbags in this country willing to **** us over.......I hate them all with vigour.
