The Brexit Consequences Thread

[Oyibo]

Well done....glad to give your life some meaning...white knighting a sock <snigger>

Quelle Surprise:

Prentis was a founding supporter of Conservatives for Reform in Europe, a group which campaigned in support of the UK’s membership of a reformed European Union. Accordingly, she declared that she would vote remain in the 2016 referendum on the UK's membership of the EU.

the Irish figures are bollox.
nearly all of it is tax avoidance box shifting (see Apple) that shows up on the books, but adds no value to the RoI economy.

On paper, the Irish are twice as well off as Britain, in reality, they are not as well off.

Fifth largest contributor you say...

Tragic....

I thought Tesco’s were fairly well covered, it was Sainsbury’s taking a kicking.

It's always Sainsbury's, Skid. Lord Sainsbury, the billionaire was one of the biggest donators to the Remain campaign.

You didnt ask a simple question, you asked a question without mentioning all the facts.
Other countries werent locked into the EU various other rules/conditions/law as part of trade.

So once again it wasnt simply to do with trade which is what your question alluded to.

I asked a simple question. It still stands. Anytime you want to answer it.

Clearly you don't GAF about typos...

... I could tell by your twice in quick succession sneers at somebody else’s typos that you don’t GAF about typos. What does being a sock have to do with you sneering at something you claim you don’t GAF about?

Carry on again champ. Nobody makes you look a cock more convincingly than you do.

Not me white knighting a sock who had tripped over on the rug whilst trying to be witty, Is it champ?

Once again you are not asking a simple question. A simple question would have been when two countries are negotiating trade only which of them put up barriers.

Which is not the same as refusing to pay into the EU, obey their rules, have FOM and so having different trade rules.

Also as there were two sides in the negotiations, why did the EU negotiate trade barriers?

She's part of government. If all you can do is look back 4 years you'll be forever disappointed.

Still a simple question. It's great stackering @stacker1 though.

Its a misleading unfair question. Typical remainer behaviour.

Do you think context matters when asking a question about trade?

Not quite sure how you conflate the pointing out of your typo in your post immediately after you twice posted 'I'm cleverer than you' sneers at somebody else’s typos with white knighting but hey, don't let that stop you making a cock of yourself.



Never mind though, you carry on carrying on champ. You clearly have a great talent for making yourself look a cock.

Shouty type as well?

It doesn't answer my question but never mind.

If you'd asked the question I'd have answered it in a different manner. If @jagman had asked the question I'd have answered it differently still. I treat people exactly as I find them. It's that simple.

Shouty type as well?

Uppercase text is generally accepted as shouting. Emboldened and/or underlined simply adds emphasis.

But you knew that, didn’t you?

Carry on some more Champ... Watching you make a cock of yourself is mildly amusing as, no doubt, you can see.

Never do business with a Dutchman.

What happened, did the wily brexiters screw up the paperwork to prevent his trucks getting across the water?

Still waiting on Waitrose.
Your best PM ever’s turning into a bit of a twit isn’t he, a Brazilian strain now, but we may ban flights on Friday.
I wonder how many it will have hit by then?

What’s tragic about it is that the fifth largest contributor to EU funds has an economy about the size of Manchester’s.

And yet the Irish think they exert political influence at the “top table”.

There are none so blind.....
