ewerk 26619 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 One of the Leave Liars told him we could keep all our existing trade and get shitloads more from outside the EU. Yet with over two years of evidence to the contrary he still can't countenance the idea that he got it wrong. It's amazing how he can go from being undecided to such a fervent leaver. But then I remember he's a cunt and it all becomes clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What in fuck changed in the 6 weeks between that comment and the vote? The early part of this thread is fascinating. People making up their minds which way to vote, nearly everybody apart from CT coming to the conclusion, whether reluctantly or enthusiastically, that Remain was the best option. CT literally changed his mind to be contrary. CT can also be quoted as saying there would no negative impact to trade, and of course we would stay in a de facto single market. This is interesting because basically he's acting as a conduit for what all the Brexiteers were saying at the time but now vociferously denying as they force us down this hard Brexit route. In summary, it's a good historical record and CT is a gullible idiot who is wrong about everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17881 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Dominic Raab's comments are interesting today. He's suggesting the French might go on a deliberate "go slow" at Calais following Brexit forcing us to use non-french ports. Firstly, bypassing the French ports will mean using containerisation, which could never get anywhere near the throughput of Ro Ro, so he's talking shit. Secondly, it has fuck all to do with France going on a go slow. It's that they will HAVE to implement checks on behalf of the EU and to keep WTO MFN terms. It's not vindictive, it's an inevitable part of becoming a third country. And so thirdly, I assume he knows my first and second points are correct (I wouldn't if it was Davis). So why's he said it? My guess is to feed the EU "punishment" narrative for the CT gammons of the world to lap up. I think he's preparing us for no deal. The behaviour of the government is utterly reprehensible.

Renton 17881 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 And....... At least 20 nations are blocking us getting favourable WTO terms, including Russia. Who could have predicted this?

The Fish 9064 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I have a prediction; When Brexit results in the UK's economy stagnating or declining, the blame will fall on the Remainers, the experts, the EU, the rest of the World, the immigrants who left, the immigrants who stayed. I predict CT and his ilk will steadfastly refuse to accept that the responsibility lies with the Tory party, UKIP, and the turkeys who voted for Christmas. If I'm wrong, my prediction is here on the internet where it'll live in perpetuity. I'll admit I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should know as you were heavily involved in the discussion at the time Lets face it, as much as Renton likes to paint a picture of it being cut and dry a month before, it wasn’t. The debate was still ongoing. 3 posts after the one I posted about staying in, Paddock Lad posted this. 3 weeks after that even you were quite clear about how difficult a choice it was for many people. Should you wish to revisit this period you will see I posted often following the big debates about how I was being swayed. And when I finally chose out, we discussed it here.

The only deal currently being discussed by the U.K. / EU includes everything I wanted from Brexit. Yes, they have, so they were not lies, were they? They were predictions which were mainly correct so far. Furthermore, we haven't yet brexited yet have we? It's difficult to model the uncertainty caused by Brexit while we are in the A50 period. Much easier to model the effects of being out because there are factual inputs to the model; the vast majority of models refer to post-Brexit, not post-referendum, for this reason. Like Hammond said, I can't tell you the weather next week but I can tell you it's winter in January. In contrast Leave were a collection of lies, many of which were demonstrably wrong at the time. The money on the bus and the imminent accession of Turkey were obvious lies. And their cake and unicorn predictions? I think you must be the only person in the UK who buys this. Except you don't really, do you? Because one thing you have demonstrated time and time agsin is that you yourself are a compulsive liar.
