A headless chicken can run around for a short time after being decapitated. Similarly venomous snakes can still bite after death.


It?s something to do with the nervous system pre-programmed to make certain movements without the brain needing to send a signal.


If you get my drift.

Given how chilled Cat normally is, and given how much water has passed under the bridge since before covid, a response like that can only mean he is genuinely worried about Brexit himself


But to clarify and for context, any links to me saying you would kill people?

I can't be bothered searching for the comment when you labelled all leavers as having blood on their hands....but I do remember UT for its sheer hyperbole:).....it was a few years ago...I did have a quick search....and saw this one....



1) we leave the EU - with or without a deal. It will be either hideous or so hideous as to be untenable.


Seems pretty tenable to me....


In other news...Thanks for th birthday thread:)

I?d would say it?s looking very untenable. All you have to do is listen to major companies and hauliers. Oh and trade experts who have reviewed the deal and declared it unfit for 21st century m


But we have a government of liars with a proven record of lying telling us it?s all fine.


So who knows

Don't go soft now. Keep doom mongering with complete certainty that it's not possible that you might be inaccurate. Finally we have left and I imagine you have mountains of evidence to back up your apocalyptic expectations......

I?m not taking about expectations


I?m talking about what has been happening in the last 8 days.


Not my fault if you don?t want to listen

(Apocalyptic? I didn?t say that. I?m talking about real and serious problems with trade and businesses that aren?t going away. This is very far from the sunlit uplands promised. People like me said there were no sunny uplands and that it would be costly and cause barriers, strife and costs. The more apocalyptic versions were averted by skipping no deal. But it?s still all bad news and no good)

If/when this all turns to shit TheCat, are you gonna hold your hand up and concede that fact - or will it all be ?down to interpretation?.

In short, and before we get to the moment, what will it actually take for you to agree Brexit has failed (if it ever does..) ?

Or as far as you?re concerned, is the ?success? merely the act of leaving Europe and be damned the consequences ?

I?m asking this because it?ll save a lot of interpretive BS in the coming months.

Just answer the question, no distractions.

Just to add though KK..you mention 'in coming months'


The success or otherwise will not be judged in months, but only in tens of years. I have always maintained that there may be transition issues in the short term - I believe people call it 'friction'. So to be clear, no I will not put my hand up after 3-4 months.


But let's chat in 10 years and one of us will put our hand up....

TheCat - I desperately hope the future is brighter than it seems due to Brexit, I?m happy to hold my hand up now, in anticipation of that being the case. I so so hope I?m wrong.

What was the timeline promoted for Brexit benefits to materialise ?

Surely that should set the schedule for when we (one of us) hold our hand up.

Remind me of the timeline for 'everything to turn to shit'? That also needs to be factored in to this conversation.



From my perspective. I've said 10 years. That should give us an idea whether the additional flexibility in policy has been useful or not.


From the remainer perspective, will it take 'sunny uplands' for you to concede? Or will a lack of foretold doom be sufficient?

Sunny Uplands for me would be what was promised - hundred of millions for the NHS a week. Billions extra for businesses. All these new laws we can make which make our life better (such as.... ? There are none - airy fairy "flexibility" nonsense aside) and all without breaking up the United Kingdom or terrorism returning to Northern Ireland


What has happened, and will remain in place is more expensive trade. More barriers, More red tape. Worse relations with the EU while pretending "we are friends" but trying to undercut and undermine them at every opportunity


If you are happy to take 10 years of that shit that's up to you - but that is not what was promised and isn't what 17M voted for (some number of that 17M did - but not enough to win a referendum)


Your promises of 10 years before "joy" are as baseless as MAGA - it's a house built on sand

Here's a good one to illustrate the revisionism....


I guess we'll need to invest in greater prison capacity to house 17m when we're prosecuted.....prosecuted for what I'm not quite sure....but something bad by the sounds of it....

I'm not reversing - just because you say I am doesn't make it so.


The discussion then was around outcome of no deal - that isn't where we are. You KNOW this


where we are avoids the worst excesses but leaves many many problems in place - why do you feel the need to misrepresent me? And why do you get to ignore those problems?

    • what sort of bike are you looking for - men's , ladies, size. commuter, mountain or racer etc etc. And what is your budget?
    • Is  the  decision by the High Court not to  deport an Eritrean man  to France on Wednesday anything other than a massive boost for Farage and reform. Farage has made a commitment for the UK to exit the ECHR which limits the independence of our justice system The UK Government’s “one in, one out” has failed at the first hurdle - just as the Rwanda scheme did under the Tories. To make it even more embarrassing is that the accommodation for deportees   in Rwanda paid for by the UK is now being used by the USA for its deportees. If we are to have Farage thrust upon us as a result of such judicial decisions, then God help us.
    • I recently hired Andy to paint the newly plastered walls in my front room, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, he offered a fair and reasonable price for the work, and his professionalism really stood out. Andy has a wealth of experience and was happy to share suggestions about colour choices and paint types, which made the decision-making process much easier. He completed the work within the agreed timescale, and I am very happy with the finish.  What impressed me most is that Andy went above and beyond what I initially asked. He not only painted the room beautifully but also helped with extra tasks such as putting up the wall bracket, curtain poles, and curtains, and even gave me a hand moving furniture between rooms. That level of support is rare and very much appreciated. If you’re looking for a painter and decorator who is reliable, trustworthy, reasonably priced, experienced, and willing to go the extra mile to help, I would highly recommend Andy.
    • John recently skimmed the walls in our front room lounge, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and easy to work with.   He arrived on time each day and kept me updated on progress, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The quality of his plastering is smooth, even, and ready to paint with minimal prep. He takes real pride in his work.   John was also very tidy, laying down protective sheets and cleaning up thoroughly after the job was done. It’s clear he respects his clients’ homes, which I really appreciated.   On top of that, he’s friendly, approachable, and trustworthy someone you feel comfortable having in your home. His pricing was fair and transparent, with no unexpected costs.   Highly recommended if you're looking for a skilled and reliable plasterer. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future work.
