Cable Forum - Brexit (Old)

What do you base your statement about being "the greatest nation" on?

Also, your claim we are the most diverse nation on the planet is factually incorrect - https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/...the-world.html

If by diverse, you mean by immigration

Here we go, letting facts get in the way of a perfectly good argument. :erm:

The party faces a problem. All roads to remain are via an extension anyway, so there’s no need to come out for a PV yet. Leave the Tory divisions to play out for a little longer.

All roads to anywhere, require an extension. Even no-deal should it actually happen would still require an extension, from what i understand

I’ll keep you right with the countdown to the revised time when there’s an extension.

You two need to stop antagonising each other or I will ban you from this topic.

Bloody sick of it.

This is an adult discussion - trying to have a pissing contest is not mature and it needs to stop and it will stop or as I say, I will ban you from this topic.

Boris and Donald both have one thing in common as they both have a excessive interest and admiration of themselves!!!

Well first we will demand that the result (or whatever) is overturned because the politicians told lies.
Secondly we will demand another referendum because we didn't like how the first one ended.
During all this there will be months and months of posting links to tweets and articles that really have no merit, apart from making a noise.

We've had some excellent teachers ;)

We can't discuss it until you take winding people up off the table.

Unfortunately the truth then is off the table.

My earliest posts in this thread described Parliament trying to subvert the will of the people. I literally told everyone this would happen.

We stumble along and it appears more likely than ever. It doesn’t really give me joy that all this time is wasted pandering to people that will inevitably be let down.

It’s not my intention to question a moderator decision from Maggy (so I’m specifically not doing so).

However the thread does discuss the most contentious issue this country has faced for forty years. Disagreement is unavoidable.

Re: Brexit

This must surely reduce our chances of leaving the EU on 29th March. That Anglo-Saxon saying "Couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery comes to mind.

Brexit: Liam Fox yet to seal no-deal trade agreements
he UK has yet to finalise agreements to replace existing free trade deals the EU has with 40 big economies if there is a no-deal Brexit.
International Trade Secretary Liam Fox said he "hoped" they would but it depended on whether other countries were "willing to put the work in".

Meanwhile, fellow leaver BoJo has been caught out for lying to the public. A ploy to aid his prime ministerial ambitions or a genuine memory lapse?

Quote:

The claim: Boris Johnson told a Channel 4 News reporter that he "didn't say anything about Turkey during the referendum. Since I made no remarks…I can't disown them".
Reality Check verdict: Boris Johnson talked about the issue of Turkey joining the EU several times in the lead-up to 23 June 2016 and was co-signatory of a letter to the prime minister warning about Turkish membership a week before the vote.
