Brexit negotiations

A true classic which stands up well even now.

But your interest isn't in the future, it's in slagging off people who voted for Brexit and pointing out how it's going to be a disaster.

And whether you are right or wrong, it's going to happen so why not shut the fuck up.

You remind me of the fools who were still banging on about that goal that crossed the line against Everton 5 years later.

Get a grip man. World wars and disease change lives, not leaving the EU.

It was a bad time for an Englishman. Kicked out of the World Cup by Iceland,then out of Europe by the people who shop there.

I don’t know why it bothers you so much, if you’re bored of the topic dont read the thread. I find it interesting to see how this is developing, particularly when framed against what was promised. 

It’s nothing to do with slagging people off, that’s not my style.

Surely the whole point of Brexit was to change lives? 

As one bloke eloquently put it in the pub "the less immigrants we let in, the more benefits I'll get paid". Certainly thinks his life will be changed by leaving the EU.

Here is an example of media distortion at its finest.

Today's Daily Express front page headline claims Britain is getting "stung" due to a "health tourism gap" between the UK and the EU. The UK paid nearly £565m more last year to treat UK citizens in the EU than it got back to care for EU nationals, it says. But this is mainly because there are more British expat pensioners and holidaymakers in the EU than European expats and tourists coming to the UK. So nothing unfair at all but given an anti-EU spin nevertheless.

Hands up! Which of you Nutters voted to leave the EU?

Not this again.

The Tories had a great night. The sitting government usually gets a good kicking in the first local elections after an election, but they've done well to hold onto many seats.

This almost certainly means a landslide victory for the Tories in 2020. Is it just a fact, no matter how much people bitch and moan, that people just don't trust any other party to govern?

Surely they should have done a lot better with the collapse of UKIP? They only gained 13 seats.

And UKIP lost over a 100

I suspect the Tories are secretly over the moon, they didn't get clobbered as was expected.

Proof that people respect the Tories and their ability to see us through Brexit.

Just come out of the closet and admit that you are a die hard Labour supporter Nat!

The tories worst and labours best performance since 1971. Still, Labour didnt wipe the Tories out in london which was the aim so hardly a success of a night.
