Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

We'll see. Desperately hope I'm wrong, for my kids sake. No one wants the UK to fail. If the TMs intentions are genuine and she wants to be a 'close ally', trading with the EU, begs the question why leave in the first place. Brexiters constantly shouting down and trolling anyone who dares to think different isn't going to help the country come together (a separate issue from Brexit). The vote wasn't overwhelming, the country is evenly split. Many who voted for Brexit are feeling misled e.g. NHS funding.

i see you listened to both sides :rolleyes:

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

Sovereignty and control :shrug: :)
Ally: "a person or group that gives help to another person or group." ....as opposed to member: "a constituent part of any structural or composite whole"
We don't want to be a constituent part of the EU, which is structually unsound.

I see what you did there :D:dmonk:

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

FYI: A couple of posts have been deleted today because it had no bearing on the Topic.

ALL Members (Including myself), now need to start moving Forward. There has been far too much back biting and them vs. the others.

We are ALL Leavers now whether we like it or not.

Article 50 has been invoked, IMO we now need to move forward and discuss the way forward, there is no point in continuing to discuss the merits of staying or leaving because that moment has now passed.

Areas that we should try to discuss amicably regardless of which way you voted:

• What kind of deal do we want?
  
• What kind of deal are we likely to get?
  
• Current reactions to the Prime Minister invoking Article 50 from the other EU Member States?
  
• Realistic time table, will this be completed before March 30th 2019?
  
• What key areas should the UK be try to negotiate on and which ones should they avoid?
  
• Business announcements: I.E Will this encourage or drive business away?
  
• What should the settlement divorce fee be and should we pay some of it, all of it, or none at all?

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

I see nothing wrong with rational debate at all. Now that A50 has been triggered perhaps we will get it.

Hopefully now Mr K & 1andrew1 will stop with their doom and gloom.

I seriously doubt it though.

Now more than ever is the time to stop the pettiness and become united.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

It's all Brexit's fault. It'll rain tomorrow, the dustmen will make a mess outside, the car won't start and some luvvie somewhere will claim they're leaving the UK in search of 'freedom' in the EU. :D

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

Osem, I realise your reply was light hearted and I got it and don't mind at all but there are those that may.

I just want everyone to show solidarity now that A50 has been triggered. There's no turning back so let's just get on with it united and together.

I refer the honourable gentleman to the reply I gave earlier:

It is the only sensible thing to do now but I can't see it happening sadly.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

I agree whole heartedly.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 HAS BEEN TRIGGERED !
 

Let's stick to the facts shall we? I am not making any claims ...

The hypocrisy here is staggering. There are threads on this forums that are years old with 1000's of posts where people including yourself have endlessly complained about the EU and how we should leave, etc. etc. 1000's of posts day after day after day ad nauseum ...

Did you shut up and stop arguing your case? No you did not. Why should you? No one has a divine right to absolute truth and no one has the right to tell people to shut up and "tow the party line" as seems to be happening here.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

It's not much of a debate if the only news allowed to be discussed is sugar-coated and only one side of a debate entertained. That type of type of approach is wholly unBritish.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
 

Mick has asked us to move the discussion forward. I am sure most of you have read the Prime Minister's letter today to Donald Tusk. It seems like a good place to start our new, less adversarial, exchanges :).

Personally speaking, I think it is an excellent lead: it is conciliatory without appeasement; it sets the right tone. Cometh the hour, cometh the woman.

Surely, we advanced civilisations can make an agreement to our mutual benefit and keep our pride and friendship intact and surely here at CF we can emulate it.
