1. I find the word remoaners equally insulting
2. It is highly likely that should there be a no deal or a bad deal on Brexit that there will be major civil unrest. Already half a million people are mobilising for a March in central London on 20 October. That might be peaceful but future marches are unlikely to be.
3. So you think a 2nd referendum should only be on the Chequers deal or no deal? Well already you are admitting that no one really knew what Brexit would look like, and so obviously a no Brexit option should be included as well.
I can’t see what you are worried about. After all you have spent the last 2 years saying that Brexit is the will of the people.

I find it extremely offensive that remoaners continue to describe leavers as ignorant, racist bigots who fell for a bunch of lies. I've never been comfortable with how the EU has evolved to an autocratic corporate men's club. If history has told us one thing we British cannot trust our nearest "allies" and that's going back as far as the 100 years war.
If a second referendum is called there will be absolute anarchy on the streets.
It's unfortunate that the people attempting to do a deal don't want to leave and will continue to roll over and continue along the "soft" Brexit deal route, which neither remoaners or leavers would agree too. If a referendum is called it should be for the public to decide if it supports the chequers deal, or no deal. Not leaving should not even be on the table anymore. That moment has come and gone.

I'm kidding but those bits in red read hilariously. :lol: :wink:

If we had been so isolated in the 1940s we would probably have lost WW2, and don’t forget that Sir Winston Churchill would have voted to REMAIN.
Oh ffs don't say that the remoaners will be demanding to have his body exhumed in the hope that he mumbles "remain".

Point 3 I concur a no deal Brexit should be the other option. I'm not worried at all.
To add I'm also getting fed up about all the claptrap about our children's future being jeopardised what about the people in the 40's & 50's who are not included in the argument. I hope to be around far along time after 29th march 2019. At least until Arsenal win the Champions League.
Point 2 I hope those marching clear up their mess before they leave
Point 1 you're offended by being called a remoaner... really? I don't think that is a protected person under the equality act 2010.

Any Brexit deal will make us all poorer.
Obviously the younger generation will be hit hardest as they will find it very hard to get a start in life.

That’s all ok though as you Brexiteers are quite happy to be poor. It is not about the money you keep saying. Anyway you will at least be able to wave your blue passports about.

Youth unemployment in the u.k at the last count was 11.3 % , Greece 43.2 % , Spain 33.8 % , Italy 31.9 % ,Croatia 23.6 % Portugal 20.8 %..France 20.4 % .

About the quote
Obviously the younger generation will be hit hardest as they will find it very hard to get a start in life. Unquote "

It was the state of a friends family in Spain that was one of the reasons I voted to leave. Watching two well educated mid twenties girls serving tables in a sports bar near Barcelona for the tourist season and then scratching around for income for the rest of the year.

They obviously didn't count in June when the figures were counted but come October / November the figure will go up .

Your logic just doesn’t make sense.

The unemployment figures you state show that currently the UK is doing ok in the EU compared to other countries.
However all the economic indicators show that we will do worse as a result of Brexit as jobs and skills go elsewhere. Those Spanish friends you know will be English ones in a few years time. :roll:

The operative word is currently .
If the E.U continue as they will with the import of cheaper labour from their open borders policy and should we stay tied to them the figure will go up as it has in all the counties I listed. Something that I don't want for my grandkids and their mates.

If we leave the EU then we will have to do more trade deals with other countries in the world and so would import their cheaper labour too - would probably mean more Asian Muslims coming to the UK.

Also a lot of our jobs will go overseas and with a weak pound your grandkids are going to be worse off anyway. Whether you like it or not the best deal is what the UK currently has. I have never said that it is perfect.

Religion don't worry me as long as we are selective and get those we need rather than more car washers etc.

There are thousands of highly skilled EU workers in the UK but a lot of them are considering leaving. No surprise really, as the pound is worth a lot less and they feel less welcome here.

Will they be replaced? Unlikely but there are thousands of pensioners from Spain that might be returning as they find they are unable to afford to continue to live there and receive healthcare once we leave the EU. Of course that will place even more strain on services such as the NHS.

Good thing we have those workers from the EU then....oh...

So your premise is that they only came here because of the strength of the pound. It will recover once the speculators have finished their profiteering . As for feeling welcome the bit about their future and that of the British abroad has been agreed according to Barnier and Raab . Those that wish to stay will still have a future here , you must stop reading and believing everything that Umunna and Starmer say.

Outside the EU we are a small irrelevant little island, so there is no guarantee the pound will ever recover.

And nothing regarding Brexit has been agreed.
You Brexiteers have still not thought of a plan - despite having over 40 years to think of one.
