Well apparently you read all my posts properly..so you should know that I already discussed this on the other brexit thread recently. Where I specifically expressed concern about the situation in NI....and stated that despite the recovery in trade in Feb being a clear positive, the NI station was a worry.


But in case you missed it...now you know.


What question would like answered next?


PS; You'll also notice on that thread that there were some questions which I have asked of others, which remain unanswered. I'm sure you're just about to take others to task for not addressing the points being discussed...as you have done here with me....

I think the question remains - yes you acknowledge the downsides theoretically but you don?t really have any skin in those games. And you still want to push on for your hypothetical (and unrealistic) wins


Given the likes of arch leavers like Roland Smith (who is someone I consider you akin to - middle aged, white, relatively privaliged, savvy, eu sceptic and agitator for leave for many years) has so clearly changed his mind - the question is why do you think you retain some vision of the Truth about all of this and persist with your Vision of Leave. Which won?t happen. And you will blame clowns like Johnson. A clown you needed to even get Brexit


Because the whole thing is a scam. It?s one you have your reasons for going along with. But they aren?t good reasons and the cost is too high

Yes because your upsides are not going to happen. And people are telling you they won?t and why


Just like they said fishermen would be screwed, Irish border would be a problem etc.


But you persist (because you have ?reasons?)


It?s a con. And it?s a folly. And the people who are the engine behind it (yes the racists. Yes the people who call uk law and establishment saboteurs. Yes the actually nutty posters on here. Those people ) don?t seem like your kind of people. But you think somehow when the dust settles you will have those people in check?

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect

      I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
