As long as we've kissed and made up Mick, that's the main thing

Nice to see your best buddy the Donald making the most of Brexit. No wonder he was keen on it.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread

The Queen 'said she backed Brexit' in run-up to EU referendum
Laura Kuenssberg, the BBC's political editor, said she was told about the alleged comment months before the eventual appearance of The Sun's "Queen backs Brexit" headline in March.

Ms Kuenssberg said that her "jaw hit the floor" when an unnamed contact told her that the Queen had told a private lunch that she could not see why Britain could not simply leave the EU.

The BBC political editor told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "In a casual chat with one of my contacts, they said 'Do you know what? At some point this is going to come out, and I'm telling you now and I don't know if the BBC would touch it, but the Queen told people at a private lunch that she thinks that we should leave the EU'.

It's what most people suspected I think. The Sun went with that story before based on what people assumed was a leak from Gove. She is right not to report it based on a single source though, people expect less from The Sun and they openly advocated for Leave anyway. The BBC reporting the Queen backing Brexit would have been a bigger story and one they would have been risky to report based on the say-so of one person.

EDIT: To be clear I am not saying they're the same source.

Only that is not the Donald saying that, that is an adviser and he is supposed to have said it in the coming days after Brexit and way before he was appointed by Trump. It's a non-story seeing as Trump has said we will be at the front of the Trade Queue, as opposed to the back of it, where the useless outgoing President threatened to place us if we voted leave.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread

TheDaddy, As I said, we were suppose to be at back of Trading Queue and Hillary would have kept us there, if she had won. So if we even get to a negotiating table with the US Trump Administration, it's far more progress than a Clinton / Obama Administration.

That was just Obama trying not to influence our national vote and I think it was the best of his few achievements since I believe his statement caused a good number of people to vote the other way.

I didn't believe Obama and his threats and if anything I'd say they had the opposite effect on the electorate, if I'd have taken him seriously I'd have voted leave.

Just like nigel farage did at the American election when he tried to influence the vote there, just because he added that he wasn't trying to influence their vote doesn't mean it was true, people might take you more seriously if you weren't so selective and one eyed with your agendas

Re: Post-Brexit Thread

Quote:

A RESPECTED former Bank of England boss has launched a powerful defence of leaving the EU and rejected calls for a so called “soft Brexit”.

In contrast to his gloomy successor Mark Carney, Mervyn King said Britain needed to be be more “self-confident” about our chances outside of the economically “pretty unsuccessful” EU.

In a blistering attacking on Remoaners, Lord King, who quit Threadneedle Street in 2013, said “it’s not the end of the world, and there are real opportunities that arise from the fact of Brexit that we might take.”

And he rejected plans to try keep as much of Europe as possible when we leave, saying we must not “pretend we should remain in the single market,”.

He added: “I think there are real question marks about whether it makes sense to remain in the customs union.”

He warned: “Clearly if we do that we cannot make our own trade deals with other countries.”

Speaking to the BBC, Lord King also called time on the whole European project, claiming it was facing “existential problems” over migration and the single currency.
Linky

Remainers won't like that.

Quote:
New research by the Change Britain campaign showed that a huge £24 billion a year prize is up for grabs if Theresa May rejects a so called “soft Brexit”.

Their option – which it describes as “clean Brexit” – could see annual savings of almost £10.4 billion from contributions to the EU budget and £1.2 billion from scrapping “burdensome” regulations, while also allowing the UK to forge new trade deals worth at least £12.3 billion.

Do you mean that a man who supports a hard Brexit has come out saying he supports a hard Brexit?

BTW, is he RESPECTED becuase he supports Leave or because he was a past head of the Bank of England? If the latter, then isn't Mark Carney also RESPECTED?

Also, isn't he in danger of qualifying of being an "Expert"?

Some Remoaners still living in fantasy land I see but let's face reality, the campaign period is long over and now the sensible result of leaving the EU hell hole is happening.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread

Given that the remoaner's experts have been proven wrong on just about every count I think Mervyn King's prediction is a breath of fresh air.
