It wasn?t a remainer that started this thread


It?s not a remainer trolling the country with 50p coins


And the tedious truth facing leavers has still to be addressed by a single leaver or PM. All that is to come


Just because so many people have fingers in their ears doesn?t change a thing


I?m sure you?re bored by people like me


Imagine how it feels from my side - you lot ?in charge? despite refusing to acknowledge reality

The E.U. 28 Member States.


Why so many people come to the U.K. to find work.


Because The E.U. does not work for the poorer Member States.

Unemployment, low wages..


Many immigrants live here in the U.K. in poor housing which they share and send wages back home

to their families.


I can remember a time when British Passport Holders were only allowed to take ?20 spending money out

of the country when they went on holiday.


The E.U. has allowed British Personnel to Buy property abroad I.E. Spain.

To draw their pensions from British Companies and spend their money abroad.


People wonder why our economy is failing.

I don't have a 'lot'. I'm a person who happened to vote a certain way in a referendum 4 years ago. My entire identity isn't defined by that, nor do I feel anyone else who happened to vote the same way in any way 'represents' me, just as I dont represent them.


Part of the tedium, is the constant desire from 'people like you' to sort everyone into two tribes, and associate everything you've ever heard from the "other tribe" as what everyone in that tribe believes.....it's so boring....


For example it wasn't one of 'my lot' who brutally killed a wild animal with a baseball bat. I guess 'your lot' must just all love the EU and clubbing animals to death......

?Hey man. I?m just a humble sort who voted one way. Ain?t no thing?


No recognition that it?s an almighty rupture with no pretending with monumental consequences for countries like Ireland, north and south and the potential for resumption of the troubles


?Just a thing mate. Relax. Chill. ?

It's also tedious when every one of your posts is a sniping attempt to rile or start an argument.


I think my previous engagement on this forum shows that I appreciate the importance and complexity of the issue. But, even though we disagree, you knew that....and clearly just revel in snide self-righteousness.


Anyway....I'm out for now...I'm sure we'll speak again soon.

And this is the issue wih all teh Leave arguments above.


There are many reasons to want brexit and they all walk a similar line. Sovereignty, freedom to to what we want, Johnny foreigner not telling us what to do any more? These are all laudable desires and are very important to some people; the fact that we either already have these things or they otherwise have no basis in fact simply does not matter. You were sold a dream.


Brexit is all about feelings. Remain can recite facts all they like but the sad reality is that Leavers Just Do Not Care. They don?t care about trade agreements, or about the reciprocal benefits of things like Euratom or ERASMUS or Galileo or the Open Skies agreement, you know, the complicated stuff; many of them probably don?t even know these things exist, and pre-referendum that was probably most if not all of them (and most remainers too come to that). Project fear, price worth paying, I don?t understand why we can?t just leave. We?ve seen this movie before.


That?s why leave won and how they?re still winning today. In sunny Brexitland the heart trumps the head. You won?t ever get an answer when asking someone to name the tangible benefits because there aren?t any, but there?s intangible perceived benefits by the truckload.


All the Leavers saying the EU now isn't what it set out to be, it's not what "they" wanted. In spite of the fact that "they" literally had no idea about 98% of what it does and most of their EU "knowledge" comes from total bollocks spouted by the Daily Wail and Boris's completely made-up opinion pieces in the Telegraph over the last 10 years.


And I hate to say it but Leavers are still onto a winner, No matter what happens it'll be the fault of Remoaners or the EU or Labour or traitor MPs who didn't vote for it and you'll all refuse to belive that it was and is a catastrophically stupid idea that does nothing to sorting out any of the UK's problems.

Spot on Exdulwicher. Brexit is an ideology. It is not based in detail or fact or reason.


DF, you ask us to wonder why our economy is failing. How about we start with the cost of Brexit so far? It has cost us more then the entire 40 years of membership fees we have paid, over the last three years, and we haven't even left yet! Not sure either why you think the EU are responsible for any economic failure. The world has changed, was changing when we joined the EEC. Britain was already in decline in the light of post war competition from emerging economies in the far east and Asia and that will continue to be the case outside of the EU.


And it is not the EU that sets the rules on property ownership either, but individual governments. So not sure where you get that nonsense from.

Yes.

Probable outcomes that might affect ED.


Nannies, cleaners, and builders all to get more expensive.

Worse service in cafes, restaurants and artisanal businesses (some closing eg. Brick House) as Eu staff leave.,.

More QE and Zirp to keep economy afloat as assets prices increase, pound falls further.

Foreign investors continue to see London as a unique safe haven and cheap (see pound and China, Hong Kong, Australia anyone ?)

So a good 3 bedder ED breaking the million barrier when BoJo and chums reform SD by year end.


Cumming's Bat-Signal is saying buy if you have the money.


And curiously the Mail is starting to punt WTF articles about ol Boris. 2020 has got off to a right old start.


https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-7930053/DAN-HODGES-Ministers-asking-Boris-Johnson-clue-next.html

The Truth is we have all been discussing Brexit for 4 years.


A decision was reached and we are leaving The E.U. on Friday.


Leave voters just want to get on with things and make it work.


Remain voters want to talk about it for another 4 years and do nothing.

"Leave voters just want to get on with things and make it work.


Remain voters want to talk about it for another 4 years and do nothing."


No this isn't right


Remainers have been asking for 4 years HOW it's going to work - we were TOLD it would be easy, trade deals would fly in and there would be no problems. This is clearly not true. There are no good options in the pipeline


remainers want to avoid damaging the united kingdom. Leavers are happy to sacrifice it

and you just want to keep talking guff based on ignorance

The atmosphere in some places is going downhill fast (not specifically ED that I have in mind - but some pubs seem to be running on an amount of staff that won't be sustainable and are losing custom fast).


Wondering if some are just running down for selling to developers.

? Leave voters just want to get on with things and make it work?


This is encouraging, I guess.

Foxy, as a Leave voter, what is it that you are getting on with and what are you doing to make it work. If not you the which Leave voters are doing this, as per your suggestion above ?

If I was an EU low paid worker I would probably want to leave especially so with the state of the pound and the cost of housing in the SE. What chatting to a university-educated Romanian Uber driver a few weeks back and he has told his family not to speak when out in a supermarket and he feels or think he feels, cold accusing stares from some other British folk.

I am elderly retire after 40 years of work. I do not have any direct power to change things.

I will endeavour to Vote for people who CAN change things and get them done.

There's a pub local to me that's throwing a Brexit Party with fireworks on Friday 31st. Presumably they'll only be drinking British drinks, none of that forren muck. But already the atmosphere on their FB page is horrific. Bullying "we won you lost get over it", racist / xenophobic comments, division....


I'd hate to be one of the many local Polish or Romanian builders wanting to go for a regular Friday night drink that evening.

I have absolutely no problem with Polish or Romanian builders continuing to work in the U.K.

I would be happy to have them work on my house.


I have no Gripes about skilled Workers, Doctors, Nurses being given Licences to work here

I do not care where they come from, the colour of their skin or their religion or Ethnicity.


I eat out in Indian, Bangladeshi, Turkish Restaurants and hope we can hold on to the skilled Chefs

that prepare such food.


I support steps to stamp out Racism and Xenophobia in sport .


I stand accused of being Xenophobic by users on this site. These posts of Hatred need to be blocked.


My Only gripe is with Brussels telling us what we can and cannot do.


I hope I make myself clear.


DulwichFox

But you still have not told us what Brussels tells us to do. And it seems from your posts that the only concern you have is around immigration, because that is all you talk about.


And edited to add that under EU regulations, we have ALWAYS had the power to send anyone back to their EU country if they did not find work after three months. But Farage never told you that.

"I have absolutely no problem with Polish or Romanian builders continuing to work in the U.K."


Find a pub having a brexit party on Friday


Bring some EU nationals with you - see how they feel. See how you feel


Because you might be ok with them - but you well know that all the people who are NOT happy with them voted leave too


Unfortunate side-effect? But you're ok with that? Or a sign of something more problematic?

it's certainty clear that you don't understand any of what your talking about


I urge you again to take some time to understand some facts rather than making up stuff or falling for stuff others make up

    • on a practical level found here these have very positive feedback:   Danny - 07943 673482 joeast 12/09/23 Just had my roof replaced by Danny (mobile 07943 673482) who I would highly recommend. He is honest, clean, reliable and explained the work and sent photos as the work progressed. His initial estimate for costs was detailed and close to the actual price of the job. jamondo 07/12/24 Another recommendation for Danny here!  After carrying out extensive work on our property in 2018, we have constantly had problems  with the newly built roof.  Then followed numerous fixes and bodges by the builders then by other so called 'experts' and professionals' charging extortionate amounts and / or giving guarantees that amounted to nothing.  Lots of 'it could be this and that etc...'  Sadly our tale of woe is not uncommon. After getting a number of people to look at the roof - the consensus was that the whole roof needed redoing (it was clear that by now the roof looked a mess with multiple things done wrong or poorly).  We obtained quotes and decided to go with Danny - his was the most competitive but it was not overriding factor behind why we did.  Danny made clear what the quote covered and where there might be extra work required as he got to it (this was fairly minor). He was easy to get a hold of and responded promptly and he was also happy to offer up refences which I did contact and all were happy to vouch for him. Minor downside was that we had a bit of a wait, but it was worth it.  When work started I was kept updated with progress and photos.  Issues were dealt with, and although I'm not an expert by any means the appearance of the work was top.  Most importantly we are leak free! bonzo 17/05/25 Needed a new rear roof for terrace house in East Dulwich and heard about Danny Denton (07943 673482). Have worked with over 20 builders in the past but this guy was way the best - polite, hard working, honest, professional, informative, highly skilled and above all quoted lower than any of the others who came down to view the job. If you need roofing work I would definitely give him a call. If he's busy working else where I assure you he is well worth waiting for. He got the scaffold up and job finished in no time and kept me informed at every stage. Another roofer (who appears on this forum) gave a quote which was three times higher than Danny's.   #########################################################   Norwood Roofing 07412 000 214 Email Address: [email protected] Website: https://norwoodroofing.co.uk/ Fee163 01/01/26 Another 5 star recommendation for David and Patrick. Got in touch with David last week regarding clearing our gutters and as always he quoted immediately and came out within the week to do the job.  We've used David and Patrick for all our roof work for almost 10 years .   They also did an amazing job for my sister who is based outside the area - she couldn't easily find someone local and they stepped in and did a fantastic job (it was quite a big job).  Can't recommend them highly enough, really personable, always reliable and so easy to work with and consistent, just wouldn't work with anyone one else!  Thanks again David and Patrick. caroline5553 12/01/26 Another recommendation for David and Patrick. David came out the same day we called, had scaffolding up by the weekend and the job done on Monday. Really nice guys, never made me feel uncomfortable, easy to work with and seemed to have done a great job. Thanks, David and Patrick! sheppick 15/12/25 I would also recommend David and Patrick. David quoted immediately, and they came and did the work I needed the following week. They fixed my leaking roof and did a number of other jobs for me that were needed on the roof. Really reliable, turned up on time and very reasonable quote. Super easy to deal with and I would highly recommend.  #################################################################   Which Trusted Trader R Tredget & Son 07905829393 or 07956553852  [email protected] http://www.rtredgetandson.com/ OUR FEATURED WORKS Roofing, plumbing, kitchen installation, building, interior decorating, electrical installation, bathroom installation, exterior decorating, tiling, plastering, landscaping & carpentry 02/08/25 This is the second time R. Tredget & Son have carried out works on our property. Part of the work included the repair of cladding on an end gable that Richard had previously installed but it had since been accidentally damaged by another trades-person. I assumed I'd pay for such repair work, as the damage was no fault of his own, but when we discussed this, Richard was adamant he would not charge! Made a lovely job of the repair too. When you turn your home (or part of it) over to builders it often feels like they've taken over. Not so with Richard, Adam and Harrison. They respect your property and are willing to work with you. They keep you informed at every stage, offering suggestions and alternatives as appropriate and they don't take liberties. We are so glad to have found R. Tredget & Son builders: quality work from reliable, hard-working and courteous folks. 10/10/24 Multiple jobs complete to a high standard We've used Richard for a few years now getting our house complete. He and his team have completely refitted our kitchen, replaced ceilings, built internal and external walls, laid flooring, plastered, decorated, fixed guttering, fit skirting boards; the list goes on! They take pride in their work, and every job we've needed doing, they've always done to a high standard. No job was too big or too small for them, and I've no doubt the quality work they've done has increased the value of our house, so a big thanks again for everything they've done. 17/04/24 A Great Family Run Company This was our first time having works done in a new house so we were understandably nervous! From the first meeting with Richard and Adam we knew that we would be in good hands. Nothing that we wanted done was too much of an issue, even if it was a bit more of a challenge to them (unlike some other quotes we got!). They gave clever suggestions but weren't pushy with it and had good ideas! We had a whole new bathroom installed and then some structural work done around the house. The guys always made sure that they left the house in a clean state at the end of every day, which really made a difference to our standard of living during the works. Richard, Michelle, Adam, and H were trustworthy and communication was perfect throughout. We used some of their guys for boiler/electrics too and they were also great. Would highly recommend taking them on for your works!       
    • Bit of a long-shot, but I dropped my glasses somewhere along my run last night, after taking them off due to the rain. The glasses are Giorgio Armani with grey frames. My running route attached, so they could be anywhere along this route. If you've found them, please get in touch! 07971806292 Many thanks James
    • I'm in the middle of the civil service pension crisis with no pension for 4 months and counting. No access to the much publicised loans either. I have emailed Helen Hayes several times. It took her 6 weeks to contact Capita on my behalf but no follow up, no reply, she didn't attend the Westminster Hall debate about the issue either. Lots of other MPs are speaking and acting on behalf of their constituents but I've had no joy. Has anyone else please? What works to get help from Helen Hayes?
    • Our cat Suki has gone missing from Keston Road near Goose Green. Please let us know if you see her anywhere or can check your sheds and gardens. You can contact us me on 07980308743 or [email protected].  Thanks Chris
