  1.  @jebbo-c1l  With whom we have a large trading deficit and pay for the privilege after agreeing to give away our natural assets and under use our agricultural resources while providing the financial nous that keeps them operable, does that mean anything to you or don't you get it

  2.  @Allard8  A non time limited backstop is a nonstarter so no deal brexit it is as long as you insist on it.

  3.  @Allard8  We have no idea what deal the EU will accept because they insisted on the order for negotiation to be money, withdrawal and lastly the future relationship so it's not even up for discussion officially. Being EU centric our government agreed and being EU centric also our parliament goes along with the farce. The whole negotiation is nothing but a fallacy designed to keep us in the EU.

  4.  @Allard8  The referendum was only called to try and end the anti EU feeling of a few back benchers and the threat from the UKIP party gaining the balance of power, that is one of the advantages of a first past the post democracy system like ours. It looks chaotic and no way to run a country but actually works eventually to serve the will of the people. Long may it continue.

  6. I was referring to Camerons pointless sojourn around European states. Anyway I'm not sure May doesn't have a time machine of some sort it feels like 5yrs since we voted leave.

  7.  @sethhandley9253  The people who really understand the aims of the EU project and are not politicians know that life in the UK will be unmeasurably better quite soon after we have left, so we better leave damn soon or their will be hell to pay.

  8.  @pekkavaisanen5512  Life in the Matrix is very peaceful all of peoples mental and physical needs are met but it's not a life of any quality so is not compatible with human desire for choice and freedom.

  9.  @JP-sm4cs  The co constructor of the EU project and drafter of article 50 has said the EU broke it's own rules and acted undemocraticaly in refusing to negotiate the withdrawal agreement alongside the future relationship agreement and must renegotiate at the UK's request or be seen as a rogue entity in international circles, we have the right to hold the EU to account.

  10.  @JP-sm4cs  I'm pretty sure Europe expected parliament to behave exactly as it did. I don't have a link but heard the guy talking on BBC's radio 4 today programme between 7:30 and 8:30 today, his first name is Peter.

  11.  @JP-sm4cs  He said what I quoted above, listen to the interview. The social engineers don't like it when they're challenged and found at fault.

  12.  @GahMehGrrrr  I really enjoy reading your deluded views, keep posting they'll be even more amusing in 5 years time.

  13.  @GahMehGrrrr  What's really fecking hilarious is your totally myopic short term focus, Brexit hasn't really come into force yet and and you're already in orbit. It's simply wonderful.

  14.  @GahMehGrrrr  More pandemics, less global trade and a halving in air travel, knock yourself out.

  15.  @GahMehGrrrr  How is that going to halve? LOL.

  16.  @GahMehGrrrr  There is more to quality of life than quantity, you talk like a child in need of instant gratification. No doubt you have a satisfactory life at the moment in your bubble, make the most of it it's not going to last. Nature has a way of dealing with harmful anomalies like humans way of life today, hence Trump, hence COVID 19 and hence Brexit.

  17.  @GahMehGrrrr  The economy is man made and so changeable by man, why do you think Boris and his advisers weren't prepared to do what was necessary to eradicate the virus in the UK? Herd immunity is still the policy ffs.

  18.  Darth Brino  If absolutely everything goes t-ts up with Brexit all your prophecies of doom may come true, but even then it would be preferable to being run from Brussels or China. One benefit of Brexit is always the argument of remoaners who don't value freedom or democracy, it will be benefit enough to know that the politicians I vote for will make the decisions to run this country and not have to bow to or hide behind the EU. Are you a boy or a girl or just going with the flow.

  19.  @GahMehGrrrr  It's so great to have expert scientific advisers to test their hypothesis on us.

  20.  Darth Brino  What I am most looking forward to is Brexit and the unbundling of the EU, should make a killing out of that.

  21.  Darth Brino  Would be a nice change from Germany making a killing from defeat in WW2 for the last 60 years, a return to realism your true fear?
    1
  22.  Darth Brino  I don't think I would make killing merely a small profit from the general uplift from following my own advice, my God how things change just listening to Patton talking about the H K/China situation he sounds virtually rabid lol. I have hear a signed document from herr Hitler which guarantees etc etc, treaties, agreements the EU's bread and butter tools of delusion.

  23.  @GahMehGrrrr  Come on Captain put in your pennies worth, I'm missing your swagger.

  24.  Darth Brino  Well said you make my point perfectly, after 40yrs membership look at the results, a better advert for membership you could not make pity we didn't join the Eurozone 30yrs ago you could make your point even more forcefully LOL.

  25.  @GahMehGrrrr  It's all a matter of interpretation and taking the long term view, like Germany agreeing to have that Russian gas pipeline and washing their hands on China's hegemony.

  26.  @GahMehGrrrr  You probably think the Euro has been a great success and we should have had it years ago, maybe you could have been one of the minority who would have profited but really what do you imagine the EU will be like in 10 years. If G B cannot be a successful self governing country then none can in which case give me whatever pill I need to take my place in the matrix because life will just be inhuman in the near future like the Trueman show without the audience.

  27. We voted leave to not be controlled by an unelected government in Brussels, to not be forced into having the Euro as our currency in 2022 or when we are sufficiently diminished enough to be unable to resist. To not be part of an EU army under unelected control, to not be an economy with a chancellor and exchequer in Brussels and to not lose our identity to become an homogenised EU population. Amongst other things.

  28. From your name I take it your happy sharing Jerusalem with the Jews?

  29. I'm not judging you merely extrapolating your likely opinion from observations of other people with similar names. If it doesn't affect you what other countries are doing or sharing why do you have an opinion on UK/EU relations.

  30. Interesting you call me your old british mate is that as opposed to being a new british mate. Is it racist to observe that many Arabs would be happy to see Jews wiped from the face of the planet? The identity I refer to is is the one I have that derives from my history. Obviously identity is not immune to change but when and by how much involves many influences and personal choice. Mohammed is British if he thinks he is British and has a British passport end of. It's Psuedo intellectual dreamers like you who believe just because you think something it's true are a reason for many of todays problems.

  31. Mohammed if that is what you think I hope your'e wrong, time will tell. There is one scenario where you could be right I think, if the brexit vote gives us a Corbyn government.

  32.  @strofikornego9408  You have a profound knowledge of how the world works, you deserve the Elgin marbles.
