Gordon R Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Why do people assume we will be begging to get back into the EU? There also seems to be an assumption that young people are stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This discussion is even less interesting than Brexit but I suppose as you have so little to actually say on that topic this is a welcome distraction 😛 All that said, I am truly sorry for the misunderstanding (on your part). Nothing I or you write will alter what happens with Brexit......it is out of our control, but if you want to keep expelling pointless hot air feel free!😃 As for what is and isn’t funny and who is responsible for any misunderstanding...........I’ll leave it up to others to decide that! However I’m glad you admit to feeling truly sorry for the error in your posting that led to my misunderstanding!....it shows a hidden humility I didn’t realise existed within you! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then , they can stare into their screens... What are the numbers for the last three years? 2m in and 800k out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When our youth reject the inheritance from the old and demand to rejoin? IF there are consequences then we learn to get on with them just as we’ve always done; it’s called life. If the consequences ( and again it’s IF ) are such that the next generation feel they want to be part of an undemocratic empire, then they can campaign to have a referendum to rejoin, as is their democratic right.

Shall we put labour into power NOW, because their policies back in the 90s will create more labour voters in the next 10 years ? You dont make policy based on what someone MIGHT want in 10 years time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I would guess by the time we get ready to rejoin the Euro may be run in a different way with distributed payments being made across countries. We might not be allowed it.

In itself ,would be a good reason to not rejoin ? But ask yourself this very simple question (remainers particularly).... In its present form, do think it would be a good idea to join the EU NOW , if we werent already a member ? More importantly, do you think a referendum to join would be successful ? Take it further again, if we voted to join by 52 -48 % and then MPs didnt carry out the vote..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We havent left yet , and until we do, there is no argument for 'how its going to be ' 2 minutes ago, oowee said: Because out is unsustainable and some form of in is inevitable. Why is it 'unsustainable' ? Are you seriously saying we cannot survive/function without being a member ? We havent LEFT the EU , we are just not a member, like lots of other countries who trade with them, who are not. The UK does not suck at the teat of the EU like some dependent child..they suck on OURS ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Quote Because out is unsustainable and some form of in is inevitable. Just because you can write that, it means nothing. I could just say in is unsustainable and some form of out is inevitable. No-one, but no-one knows the full script. Show me that person and I will show you a flying pig.

The UK does not suck at the teat of the EU like some dependent child..they suck on OURS ! We want to do so much more than trade with our neighbours. Our neighbours are intrinsic to the future of the UK. Many might not like it, want to hear it or indeed know it but given time they will. Over the last 3 years we have started to get a better understanding of the symbiotic relationship we have with the EU. There is so much more to learn. Better a relationship of equals with our EU neighbours than a sadomasochistic relationship carved out with big Uncle Sam.

Perhaps there is proof of your assertion, but it will never surface. We are not in a relationship of equals - 25 countries are propped up by us.
