Christmas Tree

Quite a few of you spend all day telling me I’ve got it wrong. It shouldn’t be that hard for any of you to tell me how my statement can’t happen. TBH, I’m shocked

Your the one saying I’m wrong. Point me to anything that says it can’t happen. Shouldn’t be too hard for a man of your intelligence.

I will if you or Ewerk will! And no straw men or forecasts saying we’ll drop so many percentage points etc.

Feel free to “explain to me in detail” how anything I’ve mentiined can’t happen “with evidence”.

Bit of antifreeze sprayed into the washer jets usually does the trick. (As long as your washers are part water part soap).

Thanks, but that’s a futile exercise.

The reasonable way to behave is to listen to everything and make your mind up. What about the millions who voted remain because Osborne and the establishment told them of the punishment budget etc. Its not going to lead to hell and fury. Seems likely we will continue to trade pretty much as before with the EU. They’ll buy Scottish whisky and we’ll buy French wines. The bonus is we will be able to add to that trade with India etc. We’ll also be able to stay part of the bits of the EU that benefit us whether security or sciences. And we’ll have a needs driven immigration system rather than an open door. And Billions extra a year to spend on public services. We are on course for all of the above so so far, Im pretty happy with my decision.

More forecasts that will no doubt turn to shit just like the last ones. We’ll be fine. And a few billion dip dip in foreign investment will not be noticed when Corbyn slaps his 500 billion in the table.

I call them thoughtful, politically aware and not sheep.

You do realise a lot of these who “vote Tory” are the same ones who voted labour to give Blair his massive landslides? I know you like to paint them as the pensioners, shires and bankers, but the folk who change governments are just average workers.

Exclusive: Times/ YouGov Poll Voting intention has the Tories back ahead for the first time since the June election CON 42%(+2), LAB 41%(nc), LDEM 7%(nc)

Done

I’ve given you umpteen explainations but your mindset is end of days (as described above), so we are just going to go round in circles. A waste of both our times tbf.

Aye, it looks like some late 70’s Made for TV but the script is compelling throughout.

Jesus

its a trade deal negogiation man. Neither side is going to sign up if they are not happy. (No country in the world would expect us to).

Dear me. There’s literally no point debating your end of days scenario.

Yes.

No we haven’t man wise up. Nothing agreed til...... How many times do I need to tell you Chapter 49 is the flowery words to get us to Phase 2. We are not legally bound by it and can still walk away if we want to.

Well like us, Canada wants lots of deals. They don’t just want one with the EU. But more importantly there are loads of countries that are growing fast that we can deal with. Also while the EU has clout in a deal, it can also be very slow at doing them with 27 competing interests. We are the sixth biggest economy in the world and a very appealing potential trade partner.

I wouldn’t rule out no deal yet.

Mots important to me because this was the main benefit of Brexit for me. I said the same at the time. The whole “logic” of Brexit is the perfect scenario. Free trade with EU, paying for the bits we want to join in with, a sovereign country that sets its own immigration criteria and the ability to do our own trade deals. It’s the perfect package if delivered. Its a a waste of time arguing whether it will or won’t, but nothing today has diminished that package. Regarding the Irish border our government is confident through negotiation / technology we can avoid a hard border. We’ll see.

Or, you could be wrong, again

I warned you this morning you were reading too much into the chapter 49 fudge. Nothing that’s been agreed today rules out any of the things I’ve listed above. As I’ve said all along, I’m more than happy to say I’ve been sold a pup if FTA’s with the rest of the world are ruled out.

Its just basic common sense and nothing agreed today disputes any of it.
