The 'I told you so' EU referendum - Officially the Worst Thread Ever

[Chippy]

MOST Britons have confirmed they will not settle for anything less than living in a small village surrounded by a high wall.

Members of the public said Brexit did not go far enough and demanded to live in settlements of a few dozen people enclosed by walls with spikes to repel ‘outsiders’.

Sales manager Roy Hobbs said: “We want to live in tiny villages with our own kind and a big wall to keep out immigrants and wolves. It’s the only way forward.

“We won’t need the EU because we’ll trade with ourselves. If you’ve got apples and your neighbour’s got leeks you’d just barter, although I’m not sure how you’d buy a new laptop.

“The main thing is the wall will keep people out. It’s not racist to want to protect the blacksmith’s job or stop gangs of young men molesting your chickens.”

Pensioner Mary Fisher agreed: “I’d like to live in a village with a wall because I’ve chosen to ignore obvious problems like no electricity and the fact that we’d all die.

“There’s nothing wrong with wanting to live with people who are like you. Except Linda from the bingo, obviously. She’s a two-faced cow and I’d dob her in for being a witch.”

Just what Dublin needs - more scumbag bankers!

Dublin is the perfect fit for the American banks, you both speak English with a funny accent.

Seriously though the language aside having passporting rights will put Dublin at a distinct advantage. It would also be quite easy for the senior staff in London, to commute to Dublin Mon-Fri and come back here for the weekend.

The benefit to the Irish economy would be huge and it would reignite your property market. I would say that after a hard decade the prospects for the Irish economy are looking good, albeit at the UK's expense. It's very tempting to look at Irish real estate again, I have been looking at a few commercial property funds.

Thanks for reminding me of your wealth, must have been about 32 hours since you last pronounced it on this thread.

Chippy I'm concerned how much of your time you are obviously dedicating to frantically reading literature about how the country is on the verge of collapsing.

Not sure it's everybody else who needs the tin foil hats.......

An interesting development in the whole 'how will UK be able to negotiate trade deals now it won't be able to benefit from the EU expertise' debate.

The CETA deal between the EU and Canada appears to have fallen apart.

Every EU member has to approve the deal. However, each member state has its own rules for how it decides. The Belgian govt has to get the approval of 5 regional govts, but one rejected the deal, so the deal cannot procede.

No doubt the Eurocrats will be working furiously to see how it can circumvent democracy, but I think this gives the lie to the idea that UK will be so much worse than EU at concluding trade deals.

After all, in its entire history EU has not concluded a trade deal with any major power.

So you agree that it will be very difficult for the UK to do any sort of deal with the EU, our biggest trading partner by a mile.

I am retired and follow some good people on Twitter. I also believe the country is about to make a monumental catastrophic mistake so I want to keep myself informed.

It's very difficult for any country to do a deal with the EU. It's the way the EU works.
However, we buy more from them than they buy from us. I hope common sense will prevail on both sides.

Additionally, we will be able to act more quickly and more decisively when negotiating with other countries.

However bad things are they would have been as bad or worse if we'd voted IN and are certainly nothing to do with voting OUT says OUTer. Hmm

Listening to that loon on any subject is like quoting Ty as evidence we will win the quadruple.

Complete wishful thinking. But that seems to be the default for Brexiteers.

Yep we are well and truly fucked with Wenger still here, hopefully he ain't getting short changed on the squids demise...

Unilever made a quick uturn then, the main Supermarkets were all gonna give them the Spanish Archer, glad to see that common sense has prevailed in the end....

Doubt that very much. No business, not even Unilever can sustain a 20% drop in revenue. We are in for a major bout of inflation.

Supermarkets call the shots, anyway watch Lidl expand with their lookie likies.....

Errm you do know Lidl and Aldi source most of their products from the mainland so they have had a nearly 20% increase in input costs since June. You seriously think they are not going to increase prices

The poor multinationals eh, in times of austerity the pricing and gimmickry of products bamboozled your average Joe!
Why was everything near rounded up to a £ ?...
Because they adjusted the weights and measures of a product to reflect the cost to themselves, so my heart really does bleed for them NOT...
I do not believe a word they say, crooks in suits!....Off with their heads lol....

Next time you buy a four pack of choccie bars ask yourself, are these Funsize?

Isn't that exactly what you're doing from the other side of the argument?

Dublin is the perfect fit for the American banks, you both speak English with a funny accent.

Thanks for reminding me of your wealth, must have been about 32 hours since you last pronounced it on this thread.

Just because you invest/risk money in things like offshore funds that does not make you rich. A slight exaggeration there me thinks. I would rather invest my money in things that are likely to grow more than the paltry interest you receive in the bank.

If you read the contents of the post it refers to investment going overseas rather than staying onshore, that's the point. You would be better off considering the whole post rather than the last sentence, although the rich are doing what I am on a much bigger scale. Brexit won't affect the rich, it will clobber the poor.
