Dear British People,

enough is enough.
Really. Stop making an ass of yourselves. You are nice and kind and lovely people, do you really want to become the laughing stock of the civilized world?
"The people have spoken", haha. Just accept the fact that Brexit was/is/will always be a textbook example of a crackpot idea that leads nowhere but down.
Now get rid of the Demonic Possession and come back home please. We Europeans aren't perfect either, and we will happily accept your sincere apologies. Just send us a bottle of Isle of Skye whisky and an annual subscription to the Royal Shakespeare Company, and we will be fine. See you in Paris/Berlin/Rome next summer, let's get drunk [and I [u]mean[/u] drunk!], and let's have a good laugh together, about this present madness. 🌷

Yours cordially,
helenS.

The big red NHS bus, was probably the biggest piece of political misinformation, in British politics for decades!!
That's a fact.. 🤷‍♀️

@Harriet03 I can remember lib Dems saying they will scrap tuition fees then treble them

SW-User

@Harriet03 as misinforming as the Cambourne £4,100 extra to every household and Carney's emergency budget

Nyloncapes · 61-69, M

@SW-User and mass unemployment and recession don't forget them lol

Harriet03 · 41-45, F

@SW-User Worse. This is gonna mess with my kids & future grandchildren (🤞) futures!

SW-User

@Harriet03 how do you know?

Nyloncapes · 61-69, M

@SW-User because she listens to the remain doom and gloom scare mongerers, no one knows what will happen that's a fact

SW-User

@Nyloncapes Carney takes his advice from Christine Legard .. so she will always promote fear to protect the union

Nyloncapes · 61-69, M

@SW-User of course

SW-User

@Nyloncapes it's why I'm watching this election with real interest

The only part I'm not interested in is Jo Swindler and the Liberal Undemocrats

Nyloncapes · 61-69, M

@SW-User I can't wait for swinson to get her come uppance , another one of her party was on question time last Thursday, all she was on about was cancelling brexit

SW-User

@Nyloncapes Swindler only sees the remaniac side and is blind to those who want to leave. Complacency brought down Clegg. History could repeat itself

@Harriet03 the big red bus said we can fund the nhs ....we can once we leave and the 350 million a week is not far off the truth as we must have given them 350 million at various times ....it's no big deal....is that all you got...remain said...ww3, recession , 800,000 unemployed, house price crash and everyone £4300 worse off....

Platinum · M

@Harriet03 of course it is, your children and grandchildren will have a better life and will thank us...unless you want them in the European army

MartinII · 70-79, M

@Harriet03 So what, precisely, was wrong with the big red NHS bus in your opinion?

DaySpider · 22-25, F

@Platinum At the risk of pointlessly relitigating the referendum campaign, what economic benefit does EU membership (through eg unrestricted trade with our neighbours, etc) bring? (Never mind EU dvlpt money coming back to find projects the British govt can't be arsed doing, though I will take an anticipated point that our govt has a moral right to determine how to spend money I suppose).

We pays our money and gets the benefits back again tenfold, because economics is not, contrary to what duckwits are willing to believe, a zero-sum game. We all benefit from membership.

Platinum · M

It's not about trade deals...it's freedom of movement, we cannot cope with another million immigrants, our interstructure cannot cope ....we pay the eu more money each year and this can keep going up...the trade with the eu is getting lower every year, it's down by 11% in the last ten years, we pay out around 5 billion in benefits and that will climb out of control...we have 1000s of foreign prisoners costing 140 millions every year....this is just some of my reasons , @DaySpider

DaySpider · 22-25, F

@Platinum Well given that a condition of a deal with say India is likely to include preferential immigration rights for potentially millions of Indians (who lovely as they are, clearly can't all fit in the UK), then I'm not sure ending FOM helps much?

Besides which, the UK has never availed itself of the stops or slowdowns that a EU-member govt can use, regarding FOM. I completely understand your concerns re immigration especially, and I largely agree in fact with your assessment of the underlying problem - but those in favour of leaving are largely kidding themselves if they believe that leaving the EU will solve the problem.

Platinum · M

If they keep their word, they said they were going to use the Australian points system, it won't matter where they come from .....but that's if you can believe our politicians@DaySpider

SW-User

@Platinum are you saying MP's are untrustworthy? Surely not 😂😂😂

Platinum · M

I might be wrong, 😂 😂@SW-User
