So I'm presume you're therefore happier to pay higher prices to pay for the higher wages "us British" will demand!? :?



Why pay higher prices,how about big business take less obscene profits.

I see that withdrawing from the EU will prevent us from having access to the Galileo satellite navigation system as they feel unable to trust us with EU sensitive security information:-

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-43891933

We've only spent £1.2bn on it that we seem unlikely to get back, and building our own is estimated to cost £5bn - anybody care to work out how many lots of £350m that is!????

looks like the NHS will find their extra money from elsewhere!! :|

That's okay Morty. We'll get blue passports!

No doubt there is OUTRAGE in the Brexit camp over this.

It's another example of just how half-arsed the Leave campaign was, and how the not-much-better Remain campaign let them seize the agenda-Osborne in particular probably did more to get a Brexit victory than any other one person. Things like this should have been questioned and specific answers demanded, rather than just portrayals of generic doom.

That says a damn sight more about them than it does about us.
But that's ok with you lot, you are more than happy to let them keep pulling our strings and expecting us to dance to their tune.
Will someone please post a picture of that bus with the words...LETS... spend that money on the NHS.
It was a statement of hope, not a guarantee.

It was even clearer when he gave a speech in front of a huge poster that stated “Let’s give our NHS the £350m the EU takes every week”.

Tee hee, yep you can really envisage this government taking big business to task on that one, no conflict of interests there.

The self-indulgent, attention-seeking attempt at self harm continues.

But we showed them European types. Didn't we.

Have you all noticed it is all you self indulgent know it all's that are posting on this "has been thread".
The normal trio.
Manchester starts, his boyfriend Saigon suck's up and lo and behold business supreme Super Gabor appears (the same bloke that was handed his arse by none other than Sound_Out, but hey lets not let you being shown up get in your way of spouting "UNPROVEN BILE" about Brexit is evil) .

Manchester you have re-erected your pointless thread.
So I will ask you again, provide me of evidence of the "Financial Armageddon of June 2016" ?
Nearly 2 years now.

EVIDENCE please

I don't want "he say's this, he say's that" I want hard evidence to back up your doom predictions.
If you are confident in your predictions, back it up.

Usual tripe from his eminence. Casual slurs mixed with the same dogmatic fire and forget nonsense.

Thanks Swampy. Been a while since I have been on the receiving end of one of your early-hours-of-the-morning rants! To reference our previous trouble-making Aston Villa fan is quite an interesting line for you to take, considering all the things you said about him. :wink:

Aside from Swampy being taken to the cleaners by Sound Out too ... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Swampy aside, I would like to know what people think will genuinely happen.

May's position is weaker now than it has been and she is being attacked by members of her own cabinet as well as the uber-Brexiters on one side and the Remainers on the other.

Add to this the House of Lords and the Labour Party and you have one unholy mess just at the time we need a plan.

You all know my thoughts on this - what do the rest of you think?

It's ironic the Swampy keeps asking for evidence when he is totally unable to give any evidence of a prediction of "Armageddon" prior to an exit. Who predicted it -using that word? When ? Where? You're so fond of the word it must have evidence close to hand.Why the reluctance to share it?

If you're working today, it's probably best to stay off the high ladders. It lingers in the blood stream at our age.

What will happen? We'll end up with an agreement which leaves both sides asking, "What's the point of leaving?"

Longer term, I suspect the legacy of the leave campaign will be future generations having the Euro-not one of the EU's best ideas. A decade or so down the line, UK will have to rejoin,and the rules insist new members adopt the Euro. Another reason for millennials to hate baby-boomers.

Quotes like that really do grind at me. You do realise the vast majority of millenials don't hate baby boomers? The vocal minority on websites do not represent the majority. I work with the "baby boomer" generation and the amount of grief they give millenials is mind blowing. One blamed millenials for failing his motorbility assesment. fudge ridiculous but I know he doesn't represent the majority. The millenial/baby boomer stuff is absolute rubbish from both sides. Being a bellend is universal.

Well considering the lead story in the news was about a report suggesting giving 25 year olds £10,000 to ease inter-generational conflict, I don't think it makes me a "bellend". The point I was making was that millennials voted overwhelmingly to remain, and with the Euro, may end up saddled with a currency they neither want nor voted for.

I wasn't calling you a bellend but thanks for confirming I'm an expert. I was saying being one isn't specific to a generation like some claim. "All millenials are *insert inaccurate generalisation*". "All Baby boomers are *Insert inaccurate generalisation*". It's rubbish from both sides.

Get my point? I'm against this ridiculous generation divide, not you. But again, thanks for the confirmation.

Evidence please. I think nearly 2 years is long enough to wait.
Provide it and I will shut my gob.
Continue like you are, lacking in proof of the claims of our demise, and I will continue to laugh and mock you sad bitter losers.

Simple request for you Manchester, considering you quite like asking for them, provide me evidence of our big demise.
2 years this June I have been waiting.
If you persist on bringing up dead threads for your own self gratification at least back up your bile with hard evidence.
Everytime I have posted a "positive" of Brexit lo and behold I have provided a link to back my claim up, can you say the same ?
