Brexit outrage: Remainers say they will refuse to use EU exit commemoration coins


The new coin, a 50 pence piece, features the message: “Peace, prosperity, and friendship with all nations” as well as the Brexit date in smaller writing at the bottom.

Despite the coin's apparently benevolent message, pro-EU campaigners responded with outrage.

Lord Adonis, a Labour peer who has fought ardently to reverse Brexit, tweeted: “I am never using or accepting this coin.”

Meanwhile, Alistair Campbell, Tony Blair’s former spin doctor, shared a similar message as he claimed he will ask till workers for change to make up the 50p should he receive one in the future.


What a sad affair this losing the referendum is turning into.
anyhoo ill take as many as i can get could be worth a few quid in the future.

Third time lucky I guess, the first two attempts at this had to be melted down... If you could have got hold of one of those they would be valuable !

I do like the design though

That's the Scottish version

If my brother In-law is up for it I will be in London on Friday to celebrate with my fellow Brexiteers.

You’ve all noticed, I hope, that the EU has started bullying us in the form of the perfidious Varadkar saying that they are bigger than we are.

He needs being taught a lesson.

Varadkar faces an election in a couple of weeks, just ignore him. He’s an Anglophobic twunt who only knows how to appeal to the Anglophobic vote in Ireland.

I see 'perfidious' is back

As for 'teaching him a lesson' maybe he should be horse whipped and told to go back to living off potatoes, we are after all far superior... Tally ho, and down with Johnny Foreigner... Will this country never learn?

He's just speaking common sense anyway. 27 versus 1, who is going to have a stronger hand, and who would be hurt most by no deal? Ireland as part of that 27 are now bigger than the us.

I'm sure that anybody else trying to negotiate a trade deal with the EU is going to be reassured that it's going to be completely fair and balanced, in the EU's favour. Or is this all aimed just at the UK, ie England?


The Irish are the one that lose massively if there is no future deal.

He previously said that a no-deal Brexit would case a “very uncomfortable period” for the Irish people.
In a worst case scenario there could be huge number of job losses and a drop in living standards due to a loss of trade in the weeks after Brexit.

They are extremely reliant on the UK because of geography(ie we are between them and everywhere else) and language. Same would go for an independent Scotland or Wales.

It's everyone, everyone entering a trade deal is looking out for themselves.

Not a geographic lesson since the EU is bigger than we are.

So what other trade deals or negotiations that have been agreed are based upon getting a massive superiority? The general idea is that both sides should benefit in some way. It's arrogant and just plain nasty to try and impose a supposed "superiority".

Around 4,000 or 60-70% of medicines in Ireland come from or via the UK and the Government has confirmed this supply will be threatened by a no-deal Brexit.
...
There are also growing fears that there could be fuel shortages as most of the petrol and diesel we use here comes from the UK.
...
It’s a business around €4.6 billion each year and the new taxes which will be imposed after Brexit will mean it will hundreds of euro more to heat their homes.
...
Around two-thirds of the products on Irish supermarket shelves are made in the UK or come through that country.
...
Irish trawlers could be banned from fishing in UK waters and Agriculture Minister Michael Creed said up to 4,000 jobs could be lost in the 10,000-strong fishing industry if Britain takes back complete control of its fishing water rights.

So who has the "power"? The problem is that those in charge are too weak willed and lily livered to do anything but give in on our behalf.

Well the stupid whining whingers are free to send all their 50p coins to me, I'll happily spend them.

Well, they are bigger than us so I don't think he needs a lesson in size.
But I'm pleased to see he has inspired usage of this thread's favourite phrase.

You're confusing superiority with reality - try negotiating with Sainsburys about your grocery shopping prices...

The problem is that it appears the UK wants all the benefits of being in the EU without the costs (monetary or legal) - that wouldn't be 'negotiations' for the EU, that would be capitulation.

Negotiations are based on mutual benefits only if both sides have things that benefit the other without undermining the basic structure of the organisations.

Have you and Mr K deliberately ignored the point I made about bullying?

The lesson he needs teaching is that bullying is bad practice.

Same here. What a bunch of big babies all these pathetic dummy spitters are, over a damn coin. They all need to get a grip FFS.
