Much like the EU referendum campaigns the average member of the public is struggling to get impartial and accurate information it's pretty depressing to be honest all we get is both sides throwing out rubbish that they think their supporters want to hear.
Same as every election then...

and as for the Bombardier tariffs furore:

Looks like that's about as likely as Osborne's emergency budget. So the 220% tariff that some folks around here were whining about isnt't actually going to happen. Good news unless you're a glass half empty sport of person...

Re: Brexit discussion

Great news. Looks like we could be under EU laws from March 2019 for nearly three years! Bad news if you're a Brexiter glass-half-empty kind of person who believed Johnson's two-year red line speech.

British officials in secret discussions with Brussels to extend Brexit transition period to almost three years

Re: Brexit discussion

An interesting Brexit situation centres around the .eu domain name. The UK has 340,000 of these domains. Under current EU rules, UK owners of .eu domain names will no longer be eligible to use them after Brexit

Frankly I found their campaign fractured and disorganised and distinctly lacklustre.

Looks like we're trying to postpone Doomsday for as long as possible. 4 years to 'real' Brexit is a long time, public opinion is changing already, Brexiteers are divided and on the run. Let's face it, they never had a plan, expected others to pick up the pieces, and are now panicking.

Re: Brexit discussion

I'm not panicking, not by a long shot

I suspect though, that those who stand to lose a great deal of money, reputation, and community standing will be engaged in furious deal mongering to try and ensure their lifestyle doesn't drop down to the levels of 97% of the general public

Dropping down to the plebs level might just be the shock they need to show them the true meaning of reality.

Re: Brexit discussion

This brexiteer is not on the run, nor panicking, I’d love to know where you get the magical insight in to knowing what 17.4 Million of us are doing. You’re wrong of course, may be the other Brexiteers, on here, can say if they are ‘on the run’ or ‘panicking’, or is it just the usual made up rubbish, to suit ones Anti-Brexit narrative?

Glad to hear it, my fellow Brexiteer. Still no regrets here for me, voting to leave the corrupted pile of garbage, onwards and upwards, just ignore the negative noises from some of the Remainers, they have been fundamentally wrong on all the other doom and gloom predictions so far..

You're deffo right there. The rich little Englanders have thought twice now they've spoken to their financial advisors and realised how this might affect their investment portfolios. Getting our country back is all very well, but one's money is one's money.

Seeing as almost every "consequence" of leaving the EU has not come to pass.
It's 26% of voters full stop, regardless of whatever side they voted for

Re: Brexit discussion

Lmao no panic here it warms my heart every day to see the self delusion of remain fanatics jumping on any little crumb they feel vindicates them. There is not going to be another referendum on this and brexit isn't going to be softly softly and on that great day we are officially out I'll be having more then a few drinks.

Which happy day will that be? End of March, next year when little will change because we're in 'transition'. Or after 2 years of that (no wait, it's now 3 years transition). By that time we'll have a new govt./changed our minds/ or totally watered it down. We could have even put our reapplication to join in by then

Nice to be called a self delusional remain fanatic ain't it Mr K as nothing could be further from the truth but then truth is the first casualty of the real reality of the real world...
