I have to echo the sentiments of Jacob Rees-Mogg here "do we want to be members of a club that knee caps us if we leave - more like the mafia"

But would you volunteer to have a couple of IRA enforcers to come round to yours with a gun to shoot you in the knees? :unsure:

 

I like Rees-Mogg, in a hypothetical way. He's properly batty but funny with it.

The eu have made it crystal clear. There will never be a treaty change. The rules are set in stone and anyone that doesn't like it, tough luck.

That is until the German & French economies fall foul of the rules like they did a few years ago, then the goalposts get changed

Can see early signs of a consensus forming for EEA move. Good.

Well, leaving early tomorrow morning for the UK, for a family wedding but really looking forward to seeing what it is like now.  People in the UK keep telling me that I have no idea how bad things have got during the last few years.  Have mounted a Bofors gun on the roof to repel boarders at the border, wanted one of those things that shoots a huge gas flame out from under the sills but they are all sold out.  I'm sure you will be pleased not to have me banging on for at least a week!!

I love the way people think company's can suddenly start trading with the rest of the world overnight. Maybe some large company's are in a position to do this but most small and medium sized company's can take months even years to start new contracts. Oh and guess what has happened in the meantime we have gone bust!

Right, so all the bigwigs are saying there won't be a second vote, the petition seems to have been fiddled, the Germans and Dutch are sounding helpful, the FTSE and the £ have inched up although still a long way down from a week ago, the sun is shining, time to hoist the white flag and go with the result of the Referendum.  What bothers me most right now is who will follow Cameron, BJ has done two major U turns on the TTIP and never voting to leave the EU, Michael Gove, Teresa May, Jeremy Hunt?  I don't see anyone who fills me with confidence given the next few years will require someone with real negotiating ability. 

And we agree again Mitch I think the whole thing is becoming a farce where yet again we have been lied to by politicians from both side ? These are the same politicians that have been unable get the best for the U.K. Throughout decades in the eu shame Cameron fell on the sword although I don't like him much he might have been the best of a bad bunch now everyone else has gone back under their stones we are up sh*t street  
  We do agree again Chris.  Sadly I think you have pretty much hit the nail on the head.  I sort of feel that if all the cards fell right for us in the negotiations, the Dutch and the Germans were helpful, the economy continues to improve although that seems more problematical now, the EU embraces reform etc etc then we could actually do well out of this.  However, I watched Junker's speech this morning and he seemed like a very angry man more interested in defending himself than addressing the real problems even though these had been highlighted by a very articulate Dutch lady not five minutes before.
Hi Mitch. Common ground again let's hope the rest of the population can follow suit I think the dictatorships response and general attitude to our democratic decision ( good or bad ) is why a lot of people wanted out as this is how we seem to get brow beaten into submission every time 😢

Missus sent me this on Monday but only just got around to reading her email (I tend to ignore them). Not her words.

 

 

Right. Fcuk this. We're ALL up sh!t creek and we need a paddle. Now, not in three months.
 
Fellow Remain voters: Enough already. Yes, we're all pissed off but navel gazing ain't gonna help. Not all 17 million Leave voters can possibly be racist northern pensioners without an O level to their name. Maybe they have a point about this quitting the EU thing? Maybe not. Whatever, we are where we are and no amount a whinging is gonna change that. Allegedly we're the intelligent ones, so get your thinking caps on.
 
Leave voters. Well done. Good game. We hear you. Now you need to get stuck in to the aftermath and not just p*ss off back to Wetherspoons. (Just banter, twats!). And the first person to say they "want their country back" gets deported to fcuking Gibraltar. OK?
 
Politicians.
David. fcuk off. Shut the door behind you. Now.
 
George. You may be a twat but you're our twat. Plus you know the passwords for our Junior Savers account. Get your calculator. Drop the face-like-a-slapped-ass routine. You're on.
 
Boris. Sorry mate. That photo of you abseiling by your scrotum over the London Olympics while waving a Union Jack can't ever be un-taken. Plus, you'll never be able to appear on Question Time again without some sturdy Glaswegian nurse asking where the fcuk her 350 million quid is. Not only will she have a very good point, she'll be wearing a T shirt that shows you gurning in front of that fcuking bus! No captains hat for you I'm afraid.
 
Theresa. You're in charge love. Get the biggest shoulder pads you've got. We need Ming The Merciless in drag and you'll scare the sh*t out of 'em.
 
Nicola. Yep. Fair cop. You probably could get us on a technicality, as could London. But we fcuking love shortbread. And oil. And to be honest you're probably the best politician we've got, so we need you on side. Sort your lot out and we promise never to mention that Jimmy Krankie thing again (although it is pretty uncanny) and we'll make you a Dame once we're sorted. Bring Ruth Davidson. She kicks ass.
 
Opposition party. We'll need one. Someone take Jeremy and John back to the British Legion Club where you found them. Take Nigel as well. Give back their sandals, buy them a pint, then go to Heathrow and collect David Milliband. fcuk it. Lets gets Ed Balls as well. He keeps George on his toes. I think he works on the lottery kiosk at Morrisons now?
 
Oh. And Mark Carney. Give him a knighthood and tell him to keep that sh*t coming. We definitely need more of that good sh*t!
 
Everyone set? Right. Hold the Easyjet. We're going to Brussels and this ain't no hen party.

 

 

A lot of truth in the politicians section. :lol:

Seen that do the rounds a couple of times on facebook now... Gets more accurate on every visit.

 

 

And to Madmitch... be careful crossing the boarder in French registered car... The locals might attack your car, as they have heard Marine has booked into the Gove, Farage and Hunt 'negotiation skills 101' class that they jointly run.

 

But don't worry... Boris has enacted role of Ofsted inspector.

Listening to Radio 2 phone in on my dinner breaks. They are overwhelmed with calls and emails from leave voters who now regret their choice. Absolutely astonishing what is coming out of their mouths. The nativity of these supposedly well educated intelligent people is incredible. Dick heads every one of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like the way we are being told we should pull together and make this country great again. How does that work? We, the ordinary people, now have no say in how it all goes from now on. It is up to politicians to sort out and a lot of them did not want to leave so I look forward to seeing it all goes.
