May be not for you Mick, but I sense those with a lot to lose financially are having the 'wobbles'.

Anyway, glad, that you're glad, you're leaving ;)

Re: Brexit discussion
 

No dude, we’re leaving together. :)

You’ll be fine.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

Oh no, we've become their parents :erm:

Re: Brexit discussion
 

You've quite a wait mate. December 2020 I hear, with Theresa pleading for even more time.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

Considering it's potentially possible to have a Brexit deal that is almost identical to being in the EU, how can every possible deal be negative. Just isn't plausible.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

The scenarios the Govt. asked them to look at are all negative. You'd assume they asked for the likely scenarios.

You're right we could end up with a deal that is almost the same as being in the EU. There is an important difference though, we'll have little or no say in Eu issues affecting us.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

I'm not sure how possible that is. Even if such a thing existed, we would have no control of rules which would penalise us by favouring the EU member states and not us.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

And that doesn't happen at the moment?

Re: Brexit discussion
 

Only someone with a really low opinion of the UK would think that it happens at the moment.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

Strange remark that I could apply to 'some' Remainers who think the UK cannot survive without being chained to the corrupt EU.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

Not that strange, just correct. We're a strong and influential country in the EU. We even wrote Article 50!

Re: Brexit discussion
 

No, I stand by my post, it was a strange remark, you accusing someone else 'talking down the UK' when it's all some Remainers ever do and have done since the democratic decision to leave the EU.

I am not sure what Lord Kerr, writing the text of Article 50 has got to do with the UK being in a 'so called' strong EU ?

Re: Brexit discussion
 

The wording was " We're a strong and influential country in the EU" not a so called strong EU.

So many Leavers talk the UK down that it's time to put the record straight. Few Remainers talk this great country down. We just mention economic facts such as those released yesterday aka the uncomfortable truth about Brexit.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

There you go again . . there are no 'facts' simply guesswork and supposition.

Oh, and it seems to me that most of the 'panicking' going on is from the Remainers camp :p:

Nothing wrong with this Country at all, as long as you've got a job and somewhere to live.
Those that haven't will have a different view of many things and, whether rightly or wrongly, will blame much of it on the EU.
I'm sure they'd swap their current lifestyle for one of those with a nice house, car, and earning 300k + a year, and probably change their vote if they did.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

I think you need a lesson on what is a ‘fact’ and was is an ‘assumption’. Facts are past tense, which means an event has happened for it be recorded as a fact. An event that ‘could’ happen in the future, cannot be classed as a fact.
