Cable Forum - Brexit discussion

That is what I was saying in post 2582:

https://www.cableforum.uk/board/show...postcount=2852

You can pretty much cite the "will of the people" at your will - as and when you need.

Think of it in regards to the wet dreams Sturgeon has about independence - imagine her to say that the voters should get a vote on the eventual deal.

Imagine her having to somersault through rhetorical gymnastics to avoid setting the precedent that the Scottish (and English) voters would get a say on a final referendum deal. It won't ever matter because there will never be a successful independence vote but it will be hilarious to make her squirm, right lol?

Exactly, your previous post well and truly nailed the "will of the people" soundbite but doubtless Sturgeon and others will cling onto it.

This comes and goes though - in fairness me and Mick have seen a bunch of issues differently and other than our common loathing of Hillary Clinton (and seeing as her as the spawn on Satan) we don't have much in common. None the less I don't take his differences with me as abuse.

I also know that while some of it may be a bit testier than we like it to, Mick's comments at the end of his post about keeping it on topic have allowed me quite a lot of room for maneuver in spite of it discussing religion and what not:

In spite of that, both of us still mad a reply, and I posted up to this post:

But ultimately it was getting way away from Brexit so I let it go - but me and him did still have the scope to explore it farther without any sanction.

People are very emotional about the EU. A lot of it is very raw (for everyone) and ultimately a bunch of us will have wildly differing views.

Me and him are arguing in a different thread about gun rights:

It is pretty polar opposite but as he just said, on some things we have to agree to disagree.

Issues like Europe, religion etc are usually some of them. :)

Re: Brexit discussion

More Mayhem from both main parties!

1. The Conservative Party

Quote:

Theresa May is facing another fight from Tory Brexit rebels after warnings to the prime minister to stick to her promises on key legislation.
Pro-EU Conservative backbenchers told the prime minister on Wednesday that if she "goes back" on a vow made 24 hours earlier she could yet suffer a humiliating reverse on the EU Withdrawal Bill.

2. The Labour Party

Quote:

Five Labour MPs have resigned from their roles ahead of a Brexit vote on remaining in the European Economic Area.
Junior Labour frontbenchers Laura Smith, Ged Killen, Ellie Reeves, Tonia Antoniazzi and Anna McMorrin stepped down from their roles on Wednesday night.

Brexit is symbolic of something bigger than just the economic and legal arguments (kinda like Guns in the US) which is why it provokes so much anger. It's people identities and their understanding of themselves and their country.

And there are quite a few of them Mr K espousing one thing and then behind our back doing exactly the opposite..

Rees-Mogg said that SCM had funds based across the world and that “people outside the EU are used to Irish domiciled funds”. The warnings in the prospectus, he said, were “not a policy statement by SCM”, but guidance to investors that was drafted by lawyers.

No different to this.

Popular mobile firms including Blackberry, EE, Nokia and Vodafone have warned shareholders about the potential cancer risks of phones - but haven't told customers.
They have told investors that if research finds links between their products and the disease that they could be sued by customers.

They're not saying it will happen, but they have to cover their backsides by saying it might.

He only owns 15% or so of the firm, so it's NOT his firm as such.

I'm afraid you can't dance around the facts Nomad. Jacob William Rees-Mogg (MP) co-founded the firm, works in it (nice little £168k a supplement to the day job !), and much of his families wealth is tied up in it. They are creating a fund in Ireland because of the dangers of Brexit.

These Brexit hypocrites are looking after themselves, they know it's going to be bad, however that's for the plebs, no reason they should suffer.

Quote:

Mr Rees-Mogg is a shareholder of the company, but does not make investment decisions.

“A number of existing and prospective clients requested Irish domiciled access to Somerset’s products. The decision to launch the Fund was nothing whatsoever to do with Brexit,” said Oliver Crawley, a partner at Somerset.

https://www.ft.com/content/38987fe2-...3-6c13e5c92914

Nothing to do with Brexit, the Ireland Investment decision and JRM does not make investment decisions. This is this ridiculous argument put to bed. :rolleyes:

And so what if he co-founded it and makes a nice sum from it, it's totally legal and he is perfectly entitled as are his family, to make a nice profit from it, that's the whole point of being a shareholder.

So he is being attacked here for what exactly (Apart from being a firm believer in Brexit)?

If Jacob William Rees-Mogg (MP) is a firm believer in Brexit and believes UK will be successful in future, he should stop working for his own company and withdraw all money/interest in disgust surely ?! He won't because he knows setting up an Investment within the EU protects his money and that's what counts. He's got to have something to fall back when Brexit reality hits the rest of us !

He could maybe join his fellow Brexit disciple Lord Lawson, who has applied for residency in France ! - another true believer who knows what's good for the rest of us, and what's good for them.... :rolleyes:

Re: Brexit discussion

What part of, “He doesn’t make investment decisions” & his partner of the firm saying “This is nothing to do with Brexit”, do you not understand?

As for the tripe from you about being worse off.. more Groundhog Day claptrap. The World is a much larger trading place than the corrupted EU in which it’s market share is expected to shrink in the next 5 years.
