Don't - just heard that recording of a Chinese nurse on twitter saying the situations out of control


Then watched Pandemic on Netflix. I'm now scared.

It?s not just withholding. It?s the denial of the truth. Watching the chancellor this week leads me to believe he doesn?t understand. They aren?t withholding so much as completely oblivious.


People say remainers are stuck in 2016. But it?s the government/leavers/daily mail etc repeating the same old ?they need us more than we need them. Car manufacturers. It will all be great? from the last 4 years despite it being demonstrably untrue.


And of course come february it will be al ?see. Everything is fine? when we all know its a transition period with no deal looming against a self imposed December deadline

Geewhizz....this thread is going to be a hoot this year with the anti-brexit mob pouncing on any whiff of negative news so they can gleefully pin it on Brexit with a big dose of 'See...I told you they're all stupid'....


And why not? It's been such a winning strategy so far...


Because leavers couldnt be accused of the opposite - denying anything is to do with Brexit


All just a larf to some people innit. Just a larf


No amount of evidence or people telling them how it directly affects them, no amount of news from Ireland, no amount of the 3 other uk countries withholding consent from English government last week - none of it penetrates.

There is a reason, 4 years after the vote we still haven?t left left


There is a reason right wing leave parties are saying they must not disband and they must keep pressure on Johnson


Because anyone in power knows that going ahead with this, will destroy the country. You can take that as destroying the United Kingdom. Or you can take it as destroying England and the other nations economically m


But everyone with access or knowledge knows. It?s bad. Like, BAD bad

I?d venture that most (if not all) Remainers hope they?re wrong about their forecasts on the damage and instability that Brexit will cause.

Cameron goes big with his ?I?ll show them. I?ll go in with my big treaty demands?


Fail


May: ?I?ll sign article 50 and show them?. Front page articles showing the slayer of the EU


Fail


Johnson: ?blueberry blib blib. Sign up to border in Irish Sea. Pretend there won?t be one. Snigger?


Fail


transition period ends. Any leverage (small as it was in comparison) is gone


Predatory countries like usa, China and India. And new competitors like the EU?


?Well HERE is a country desperate for a deal. Any deal....?


But of course. We aren?t there yet. We are STILL in the pretend stage. All existing agreements all still in place. No cause to alarm the citizens yet.


But I?m sure that sweet sweet deal is just around the corner.

The citizens are currently being kept in their place by the mainstream media dutifully reporting Harry & Meghan rather than anything about how we're about to fall out of the best thing that ever happened to Europe.

Add in a few paragraphs about a pandemic (thanks China, good timing!), maybe a few bits and pieces on Trump impeachment or the Grenfell enquiry and we'll all be good quiet little people forgetting about Brexit.


People need to wake up. Brexit IS Happening 11.00pm next Friday.


A mere eight years ago, London put on one of the greatest global sporting events ever with people from all over the world watching, attending and competing.

Even five years ago most people wouldn't have cared one way or the other about EU. Most people didn't really know or mind either way. Now look how you can turn half the country with a bit of sleight of hand, a few total lies over the years (Barmy Brussels Bans British Bangers!) and a pack of lies working off the back of a bit of nationalistic pride.

The oft quoted BoE prediction that there would be a recession straight after we voted Leave also had a caveat that never gets mentioned, namely that the prediction was based on BoE not intervening fiscally. However, after the vote they did so by dropping interest rates and increasing QE, well known remedies for helping to boost an economy.

What these actions couldn't stall though was the crash of Sterling (something which the BoE also predicted) and it's only recently that someone has tried to quantify the effect of that crash. This has been picked up by the respected financial journalist Peter Foster, until recently working at the Telegraph all through the Brexit process, but recently having moved to the FT. This is his take on it. For those that don't read links, it's not good...



As for other predictions of doom I don't recall any apart from the threat of No Deal and the chaos that would follow, a view the Gov's own assessments backed, something which also happened to be created by Leavers - remember ''No Deal is better than a bad deal''? No Deal and the ensuing chaos is still looming on the horizon at the end of the year. It's not a prediction, it's a fact, unless we negotiate a deal by the end of the year or extend the transition period...

I think this hurt more than is being portrayed.

But we're still a permanent member of the security council - that's what the government can't lose in the next few years.

It does hurt, specially after all the guff we?re being fed about Global Britain


The shifting global context, a new relationship with Europe, and the need to deliver more with finite resources, requires us to evolve and enhance how we achieve our goals. We need to use government assets more cohesively and efficiently to maintain our global standing. Global Britain is about reinvesting in our relationships, championing the rules-based international order and demonstrating that the UK is open, outward-looking and confident on the world stage.

What people voted for in the seventies was a pack of lies, the eu isn't what it started out to be, a fiscal union. All the -you didn't know what you voted mob-, did you know what you were voting for by opting to remain? What has the eu got in store for the future?

Single market wasn?t part of the original eec. But thatcher/uk came up with that idea And convinced the eu to go along with it


What is it you leavers are afraid of? The world evolves. You want to reverse everything and pretend you can dictate your own rules.

As for the bogus claim ?this isn?t what we signed up for



https://fullfact.org/europe/ask-full-fact-eu-then-and-now/


(I love how people who claim they were lied to in the 70s weren?t lied to now. Now, they are super smart and in no way subject to misinformation. No sireee. Also. They are all on the same page. So never mind that leave reassured us we would NOT be leaving the single market before the referendum. Now we just have to accept. ?We knew what we voted for?


Sure ya did. All 17 million. All on the same page. Sure

Blimey...this is getting tedious.....


I think by now, on this forum we've pretty much all said what we think with regards to remain or leave. People have given their reasons for voting one way or the other. It's been debated to death, and other people have chosen to accept or disregard those reasons.


Either way, the leave question is now moot. You're not going to change you mind Sephiroth, and it wouldn't matter even if you (or anyone else) did, so surely asking the a different version of the same question for the umpteenth time hoping to get an answer that you can mock or dismiss isn't particularly productive?


But...just my opinion....I'm sure you'll carry on as you wish.....

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
