    Democracy when it suits you. What's that quote? "Great Minds Discuss Ideas. Average Minds Discuss Events. Small Minds Discuss People."

    You think you're talking about an idea but you're talking about an event. You claim you care about democracy but you only care about one version of it. The one where you have to add "as a whole" to get past the fact that NI and Scotland blow a hole in your supposed love for it. When Scotland is denied a referendum, you will just say "as a whole" and carry on thinking you care about an idea. Scotland, Wales, and NI, not giving their agreement to the deal means nothing because you can always fall back on the magical "as a whole".

    crypto thinks he's talking about events when he's stuck talking about people. Boris, Leo, Guy, low testosterone femboys etc. Brexit for him is all about individuals he adores and abhores, and unless he reduces it down to that, it's too complicated for him to understand.


    The shltty rags ye read fool you into thinking you're smarter than you actually are. That's why not one of ye can answer a question on Brexit in any detail whatsoever, but you still have unbridled confidence in your knowledge of Brexit. It's why the Brexiteers on here are the ones to never ask a question or express doubt in their knowledge of something complex.

    Scotland , well some Scottish people call themselves a country. Yet only a few years ago they rejected the chance to become an Independent Country. I suggest the Scottish hurry up and Vote themselves into being an Independent Nation State. They certainly cannot be taken seriously as an Independent Nation state until they do so.

    Northern Ireland. The sooner it votes to leave the Uk the better. What’s stopping it.

    They didn't though. The majority who voted in the brexit referendum voted to remain in the single market and customs union and since then every opinion pole indicates that 55- 60% want to remain in the EU - the desires of the majority are being ignored. Why do you hate democracy so much?

    If Scotland and Northern Ireland want to stay in the Eu let them Democratically Vote to leave the Uk. And hurry up.

    https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1232519/John-Bercow-bullying-house-of-lords-latest-boris-johnson

    "Mr Bercow said that since retiring it has "become increasingly obvious that the Government has no intention of honoring the centuries-old convention that a departing speaker is promptly elevated to the House of Lords".

    On the one hand I am happy that this snake (who blatantly tried and failed to circumvent the peoples democratic voice) should not get such a privilege but on the other, I would seriously enjoy referring to him as "Lord Cuck"

    John was a great one for breaking with convention when it suited him.

    He also has had numerous counts of bullying made against him .

    The disgraceful re-mainers kept this horrible man in place despite all the bullying complaints against him many of them before Brexit, in case people are wondering. Re-mainers disgraced themselves again.

    I see you do not address the point that the majority voted to remain in the single market and customs union in 2016 or the fact that the majority of voters in every poll since 2016 have wanted to remain.
    As regards your other statements, the Tories have said they won't allow either of those things to happen.
    Furthermore, surely you think that having a 50.1% mandate in something as divisive as leaving an existing arrangement is insufficient? Surely a consensus position should be sought in such circumstances such that you achieve e.g. 60% or greater support for something so divisive?
    I would note that the Tories are proposing to introduce just that as the law in the UK.

    Polls? There was an election in 2017 where all the main parties said they would respect the vote, they didn't and they were wiped out for it in 2019.

    The "Brexiteers" won alright and have been patient and tireless. However [IMO] (going back decades) achieving the goal of leaving the EU has been about using the natural weaknesses of democracy to obtain the desired outcome.

    Brexit actually won three elections since the Brexit Referendum . The position was as you say for the 2017 General Election , and as you say for the Eu Elections and Finally Finally the choice between re-mainers and leavers was given the 2019 General Election.

    Donald Tusk , Jean Claude, Verhofstadt, Merkel , Macron ; Your Eu took one hell of a beating in Britain.:D Only the Four times in a Row:D

    The Patience of Brexit Voters is to be commended but they kept their eyes on their Prize of Freedom and the Perseverance of Democracy achieved the Freedom Prize:D:D:D

    Yet some people call for another referendum and the same people admit that they will not accept the result again when it loses.

    These EU lovers are fanatics, with strong feelings for centralising everything. It's just a new type of marxism.

    Those who think they only have a future sheltered in the EU is going to protect them from the big bad world is deeply misguided. The UK, a globally thinking nation with a great trading history has sat on his hands hoping this club would take the world by the horns and acheive something but has been deeply frustrated and the disastrous direction it has taken and its disturbing protectionist apporach to business. This stagnation has been happening while we have watched other regions of the world fly...The UK could not wait no longer, it is being bold and brave and it will head to the new world head on in a quest to make some real money. The UK will succeed with this as it is bold and brave and we will look back and the missed opportunity in all the other EU states which will eventually spell the doom for the club.

    THe EU's day is done, it's vision for the world is toast. Anyone who is pro business and the free market can't help and look at the UK's current moves and admire their ba**s.

    Honestly this is the funniest Brexit post on boards that I've seen. The EU is in complete control.

    If Boris is only getting started God help the UK in negotiations. The Brexit deal the UK has is worse than May's deal. NI is now under a separate customs arrangement to the UK or to put in another way the UK has lost partial control of its territory. At this rate he'll agree to make the UK a de facto colony of the EU with a Brino deal.

    In statements over the last week the UK hasn't had a clue if it wants to stay aligned with EU rules or diverge. The exact position really depends on which of the many contradictory statements you believe.

    The UK has no idea of what trade talks it's prioritising. One minute it's the US, next day its Australia next day its the EU. Next week it'll be someone else.

    The EU have come and told the UK it will get a very limited trade deal. This is not an organisation that's in any panic. The EU won't start talks until March. Again an organisation that's not too worried about the UK.

    This is primarily due Boris's decision to rule out getting an extension to the transition period. So Boris now has two options take a very hard Brexit deal or agree to adopt all EU regulations and standards or in another word Brino.

    well no, we don't all know this because it's not the case. ireland makes decisions of it's own every single day, free of the EU.





    yes, they were and are all of these things in the years you mention.
    all that has really changed is standardisation on certain matters between countries to allow free, open trade with as little cost as possible to users and businesses.





    britain is the one who successively stalled.





    just as well italy and poland aren't being dictated to by germany and france, and never have been.

    Hope you don't buy all you say.

    The Irish believe anything, we are very needy as a nation and deeply insecure. We support the EU blindly like the local GAA team just because we are in it. It will change the other way drastically if we left.

    THe EU Economy has stalled and has been a very long while, which is why the UK left to find where the action was at. Projections including the IMF has the UK as Europes biggest economy in years to come.

    Tis funny how the Eu after losing the UK suddenly need to tool up with their Army .

    The next Leaver may have to take on this Eu Army to get their Freedom.

    The UK has gotten out just in time .

    Do you reckon your hatred of the EU is less than, on par, or greater than, our appreciation of EU membership despite its drawbacks?

    Which is why we rejected two referendums, I suppose?

    Why we are party to a court case with Apple over a tax bill?

    Why we have a low corporation tax?

    I see plenty of blind faith - just not what to you refer.

    Honestly this is the funniest Brexit post on boards that I've seen. The EU is in complete control.

    If Boris is only getting started God help the UK in negotiations. The Brexit deal the UK has is worse than May's deal. NI is now under a separate customs arrangement to the UK or to put in another way the UK has lost partial control of its territory. At this rate he'll agree to make the UK a de facto colony of the EU with a Brino deal.

    In statements over the last week the UK hasn't had a clue if it wants to stay aligned with EU rules or diverge. The exact position really depends on which of the many contradictory statements you believe.

    The UK has no idea of what trade talks it's prioritising. One minute it's the US, next day its Australia next day its the EU. Next week it'll be someone else.

    The EU have come and told the UK it will get a very limited trade deal. This is not an organisation that's in any panic. The EU won't start talks until March. Again an organisation that's not too worried about the UK.

    This is primarily due Boris's decision to rule out getting an extension to the transition period. So Boris now has two options take a very hard Brexit deal or agree to adopt all EU regulations and standards or in another word Brino.

    You are just regurgitating paper headlines. This administation has been in less then 2 months and he has already kicked the EU around...it will get much worse for them but I'm sure the usual politics will have them all agreeing on the stage.

    UK will be just fine, and it will be out of the CU,SM and the power of the ECJ..there is no other way to explain that other then an outright humiliation of the EU.

    Will the EU be in recession as it watchs the UK be ok? will the remainers focus on some nonsense figures from some guardian journo saying the economy would be 0.0000324522145% bigger if it had stayed and roundly circulated by remainers as proof they were right (while ignoring the numbers and the sh**sh*w taking place in these european states) ...you bet they will.

    I can't believe you mentioned the referendums, we should be deeply ashamed about them being ignored.

    Tax, will turn on the news, it's coming to an end, it's the hottest topic and Ireland is in the cross hairs.

    By the way, where is that apple money?

    The EU talking up and army is comedy gold. They may try but never will have an army of note.

    The UK and it's allies wouldn't have to worry about any EU army ever, it will never ben allowed to be a threat in capacity.
