[Politics] Brexit

[Thunder Bolt]

Don’t ruin it Yorkie, we’ve gone from tampons to ailerons....

Do you pay VAT on ailerons?

 

[Lincoln Imp]

You seriously thought that was anything other than a joke , you really are a bit slow.

I am indeed extremely slow, but note that my criticism was aimed at any Brexiteers who might seriously claim that the tampon VAT issue supports their cause. Not at you.

Good one

So, it turns out that you weren't a moron at all, just pretending. Well you certainly did a good job convincing me, a bit like you did with your fellow Brexiteer [MENTION=17469]melias shoes[/MENTION] who immediately gave you a thumbsup, which I've now realised must have been ironic

 

[nicko31]

Well, has there ever been a better time to impose trade sanctions on ourselves? Brexit has never felt so good...

Corona Virus is the perfect blame-ee now for any Brexit economic downturn.

On the other hand, it also gives Boris the perfect political cover to extend the transition period.

I don't know how someone could think such a thing. How cynical do you think Dom is

You don't think Johnson could be planning to use Coronavirus as the unforeseen reason to extend our 'membership that's not membership' - You know, the thing where we carry on paying the EU, being subject to their rules and regulations and getting all benefits and trade deals of being in the EU, but definitely not membership

And I'm sure Johnson has no history of extending EU membership (Oct 31st die in ditch), U-turning on red lines (No Irish sea border) and then claiming the extension and U-turn as some sort of victory.

Economic downturn? - look at the upsurge in spending in the supermarkets, must be doing the economy a power of good!

 

[vegster]

We can officially close this thread now, our shiny new Chancellor has confirmed that they have " Done Brexit "...

 

[sparkie]

Yes, the thread needs to self-isolate.

How will Brexiteers be able to rejoice about the sunny uplands, and Unicorns being delivered?

Or as this thread has turned into, how will the depressed remainers ( including those that don't actually live here ) be able to continue with their doomsayer posts ? How empty will their lives be !

** awaits the inevitable, repetitive, boring parrot like questions **

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

I suppose if there's one positive to take from Coronavirus, it's that it's likely to result in a higher number of fatalities among the old than the young, so it brings our inevitable rejoining of the EU a little closer.

Questions that Brexiteers fear, like 'How is the ****-up you had a hand in creating going'?

 

[Lever]

It makes me smile whenever Leave Voters come onto this thread and comment/complain that there is still a dialogue going on; they classify ongoing concerns as 'doom-mongering' (a typically facile label) and seem genuinely irritated and/or amused that Remain Voters are still thinking and writing about Brexit fallout.
Perhaps they need reminding that this is what democracy looks like!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

We were told the UK had to charge VAT on sanitary products for women as a luxury because the EU ordered it, but Germany has abolished it there. More untruths.

 

[daveinplzen]

What makes me laugh is the fact that there are Brexiteers on NSC that dont live in the UK but ive never heard one of these turnips mention it We are still in the EU so Im still in the same place as they are.

 

[nicko31]

Progressive stuff, pity the UK can't contribute to the debate. Better gets used to this...

Manufacturers of phones, tablets and laptops will face legal obligations to make their products easier to repair and reuse, under a far-reaching recycling plan from the European Union executive

Wow! Yes you actually wrote that. A positive. Wow.
