Christmas Tree 3997 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 32 minutes ago, Renton said: People and parliament were ignorant to these impact studies. The Leave campaign stated 350 million more for the NHS, easiest deal in history etc. All lies. Plus anti-immigrant propaganda the Nazi's would be proud of. Now that the facts are a lot clearer, what possible objection could a person who believes in representative democracy have against parliament having a free vote? I'd suggest only a fascist would object. What gets me about you, and I'm sure it is intentional on your side, is the blase way you treat matters that are of vital importance to our region. Yeah, who cares if we are all going to be thousands of pounds worse off, services are going to get even worse, and we are forced to eat chlorinated chicken and mutant vegetables? Sorry, but I do. I think that’s because your the biggest adult drama queen I’ve ever encountered. Real life Chicken Licken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26484 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 What's the negotiation about around the legal text? It's largely what was agreed in December. I can't see the EU wanting to re-open phase 1 negotiations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see the EU wanting to re-open phase 1 negotiations. It was fudged. There were 3 options. 1. Mays custom agreement plan 2. Technology 3. Full alignment etc or border down the Irish Sea. No way UK will agree legally to 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NI is next worst affected. I'll be interested in CT's critique of why the government's own forecasts are wrong. There was literally one redaction. Surely leavers should now realise that they've been lied to all along by the leavers in power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34636 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 May got asked what would be her perfect night out if she wanted to "let her hair down" she on ITV earlier. This was her response. "Well, I don’t think that when you let your hair down there’s only one way of doing it. I think it depends on the group that you’ve got, it depends on the time. But as I say, my International Women’s Day is rather more focused not on what we can do to enjoy ourselves but actually on what we can do to help women out there, women who are suffering, women who are being abused and whose lives are being made a daily living hell."

Gemmill 34636 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Honestly she's a fucking mutant. Just be a fucking human you utterly unrelatable mong. Tell them you just like to close the coffin lid and read the Twilight books. That would have been more normal than what she said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont totally disagree with you, I’m just not sure what the mechanics are of getting to a very soft Brexit. If we walk away, there’s no deal to vote on and the hard brexiteers MP’s win.

Renton 17828 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 BTW CT, the economic model shows Brexit under an FTA (the only thing the EU will offer) will lead to a 5% loss of GDP (that's a mean UK figure, more than twice that for the NE). The estimated uplift from free trade with the rest of the world is a pathetic 0.3% in comparison, and the net loss will dwarf EU contributions. Remember, these are government figures. Didn't you want to leave for the benefit of global trade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shows that the monetary benefits of Brexit are outweighed by the disbenefits more than ten fold. More than twenty fold in the case of NE. It's difficult to imagine the analysis is so wrong the direction could go the other way whatever deal is reached. Still, what do experts know. And you're right, with you it is a pointless discussion.
