Brexit was a bad thing

[CowboyTed]

Ursula von der Leyen for one.

When was she in charge of the UK….

You seriously have no clue how EU works, you agree to EU standards or you are not in the European Economic Area.
The UK people voted to leave EU, they didn’t say anything about leaving the EEA…

 

[frigidweirdo]

I still like the UK I have friends there,
To their credit they reclaimed,
Their sovereignty their currency and their self respect
all in one fell swoop.

Their currency huh? You do realize the UK never used the Euro, right?

And who is "they" when you talk about "their sovereignty"?

Because it's not the ordinary people.

 

[CowboyTed]

Right...And the people charged with doing all that sabotaged every effort, if they even made any effort at all.

Boris was Prime Minister when they left…

Sorry he was in charge, turns out he wanted the benefits of membership without joining…
This is hard Brexit, that is what they wanted…
Your pissed that they lied to you

 

[CowboyTed]

No retard. It's called sovereignty. Leavers are not interested in your petty arguements and silliness. Because Obama was such a dick, his face and fine words pushed more to vote leave. The bell ends such as Tommy Tit and Deadbeat voted to stay, they're called Remoaner's and Remoaner's piss on the graves of the fallen, some even pull their pants down and shit. Hopefully Reform will be in next to kick the EU out of touch for good. You stick to the US, Canada, Greenland, and the Muslims with the golden dome.

Seems you are happy with how Brexit turned out…
The opinion polls say the opposite and voters want more and more integration

The value of the pound since Brexit

I think most Brits fancy more quid in their pockets.

I think they flushed out the peril of collective socialism.

Frankly I'm surprised they didn't do it all a long time ago.

It must have been a will of the people.

Europe was rubbish with the schedule. Complete disconnect was the right way to go.

I think they're pretty happy about it.

I really like those new plastic attached bottle tops.

You know the pound dropped in value straight after the Brexit vote in 2016 right?

And it has never really recovered from that, right?

How can they be happier when THEY'RE POORER?

who agrees?

Not me.

As you know the euro was widely accepted in Northern Ireland,
That they loaded against the separation.

In my opinion the separation help quantify and stabilize the Sterling pound.

It was close 51% or so.

Quebec almost seceded from Canada it was close.
I live in Vermont on the Canadian border.
Canada's going through a lot of growing pains right now but I think they will come around.

Justin Trudeau it was an unmitigated disaster.

But that's a different Subway.

Happiness is not a commodity for British people.

If it was widely used then, it'll be widely used now, seeing how Boris essentially separated Northern Ireland from the rest of the UK.

"Stabilize the Sterling"?

Sounds like Hitler when he retreated saying something like "Stabilizing the front".

Moaning is their national sport.

They do it well.

It’s an art form.

I think most Brits fancy more quid in their pockets.

I showed the GDP under performance against EU...
So that is a NO.

I think they flushed out the peril of collective socialism.

The UK loves NHS... They have in polls agreed to pay more taxes for better NHS..

Six out of 10 support more NHS spending even if it means paying more tax - poll

On public services more broadly, some 40% said they would accept higher taxes if it meant more funding.

news.sky.com

So that is a NO.

Frankly I'm surprised they didn't do it all a long time ago.

It must have been a will of the people.

The will of the people was to say leave EU, they can still remain in EEA.
Polls having them wanting to rejoin 9 years later and that poll is only going up

So that is a NO.

Europe was rubbish with the schedule. Complete disconnect was the right way to go.

I think they're pretty happy about it.

You may think a lot of things but the polls show the complete opposite...
EU is large, but that is expected...

Italy has a right wing leader and they still wouldn't leave...

UK did one thing that was very helpful, nobody wants to be a shit show like the UK..

 

[CowboyTed]

Actually the EU have a lot to thank UK for...

Since the voted to leave in 2016, we have witnessed a clusterfuck....

Daily mismanagement, parliament question time was required viewing....

There was three stories a day of normally pro Brexit voter going out of business....

That's because everybody who isn't
a Democrat is an automatic Hitler.

In fairness Borris is not Hitler...

He is a prick of the highest order but not Hitler...

 

[frigidweirdo]

You know I'm not a Democrat, right? I've never voted for them, don't support them. I literally call for a change in the electoral system so other parties, other views get heard and the Reps and Dems lose a lot of their power, and have to change and become more sensible, right?

Oh, but YOU live in the world of "Reps and Dems", there's no one else. Hence why you assume that if you don't agree with me, I must be a Dem.

And I didn't say you were a Hitler or anyone else. I was MOCKING you for making a statement that is all image and no substance.

 

[ShahdagMountains]

Your arguments are too emotive. And you make statements seemingly out of thin air, with no substance or rational thought attached to them.
