Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

One has to remember that the EU is a ramshackle alliance of 28, soon to be 27, nation states all with their own requirements on a trade deal and special interest groups to appease. That makes it take time. The UK is one state, a lot less complex.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

Correct. This would not be the case in a Federal Europe with one federal government, which although not wanted by the majority, would at least make Europe work more efficiently. Hell, even the Euro could be made to work in a United States of Europe.

Two examples of wrong decisions being made on setting up this whole convoluted structure which have condemned this monolithic bureaucracy to failure.

Implosion imminent.

As mentioned many times on here, London is a "Global" financial hub.

Not sure why you bother? Some people are happy to accept any consequence of Leaving so telling them what is likely to happen will just wind them up.

They really don't care if we are worse off. It is a religious thing ... look at the contempt & ridicule shown to someone who holds the opposite opinion.

I wish he'd tune it first!

I just believe in democracy and freedom of expression and acknowledge that in politics, there's often never a right or wrong answer. I guess that makes me an old-fashioned liberal.
I've never been the greatest fan of the EU (but most of us in the UK haven't) but some of the inaccuracies peddled in the name of Brexit make Tony Blair look like a saint on steroids!
The truth of the matter is that there is a trade-off between control of your country and its prosperity. That's an uncomfortable truth for some but not all Brexiters. If you don't want to accept the rulings of global courts then that rules out WTO membership which is the North Korean situation.

When is imminent? People here predicted its demise five years ago. Since then it's expanded and has just signed a trade deal with Japan.

Sympathy, as SS Ridiculous goes down. The band forlornly playing the same old tune ;)

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

Look Andrew Brexit is happening as yes l don't agree with it , never did!!!! but its happening end of as one has to accept it and all its consequences even though l believe it won't be the panacea to end many of our ills as yes some want their country back and some want to make their own decisions again so l can accept that even though l would not trust politicians in this country as far as l could throw them as many would steal from their own mother and stab their closest friends in the back before ever considering the putting this country first and the betterment of others first before their own selfish political ends.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

very true. I've noticed Brexiters becoming angrier as they realise the fate of the country, and that their families will be badly affected. People will never admit their mistakes, even if they know they're wrong, particularly on the interweb ;) The EU isn't perfect, but the alternative is worse as we'll find out.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

The only anger such as maybe is because some just will not accept the decision are happy to constantly talk down the UK and seize every negative article they can to push their own superiority of belief and some even claim they are being pro democracy it's very tiresome. Most leave voters were well aware of the possible consequences of leaving we couldn't really miss it as it was the complete focus of the remain campaign and at the end of the day decided it was a price worth paying to be out of the EU.

Actually if anything regarding the consequences MrK we are happier no world war 3 or emergency budget cutting everything to the bone. Yes the pound has devalued it had before while we were members of the EU and it will again in the future and would have if we'd stayed in the EU they are called currency speculators and they are going nowhere. Yet again not a word on the growing troubles within the EU the usual suspects just ignore all that and post a few more anti brexit articles it's not anger we have it's a growing sense of boredom and deja vu.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

we aren't angry we are just laughing at the remoaners and klingons getting all uppity co's they can't have their own way [ party on dude ] :)
