They melting down a commemorative coin minted to celebrate leaving the EU, this week
You could not be blamed for thinking it may take years to get it done
An election is likely, if enough agree, and the return of Boris more than likely
However is Britain broken? Corbyn could not lead a thirsty horse to water
And his party, some of them, vote against him
Same for Boris,what future for England with an election likely to return the most popular of two bad choices

Britex is a cleaning product. Does he mean Brexit? Brisket, maybe?

Britex - also means "Britain exiting!"
It has merely been abbreviated.
For shoe of us - who aren't thick as a brick.

cont'd ...

And "shoe of us" was a typo - it should have
been "for those of us." Again ttbn - note
please.

Needlessly nasty and warped GY are our rules to be obeyed?
Now we see an election is coming but the Scotts and Liberals do not want to leave
Liberals are likely to get an increased vote.
So the election may settle nothing
Six weeks till we know, and much to think of
Note I avoid threads inhabited by our nasty poster
So ask he/she do the same for me, after all we do have rules and if they are not enforced why have them?

Belly,

Why would GY, as you refer to our moderator, bother with my non-abusive comment? He let you get away with calling me a slug and a maggot.

Belly,

With the Tories on 40 % of the vote, and Labour on 24 %, I suspect that Corbyn is playing the game of being the perennial underdog, who tries soooo hard but can't get anything done because of those other nasty people, it's not his fault, he's suffering the slings and arrows, etc.. i.e. a guaranteed loser, pretending he's trying to win.

Dear Belly,

It appears that the Irish are concerned about borders
being put up once again once Brexit has happened if
Britain has its way. And people are scared that it
will be a return to the violence of the past.

Fingers-crossed this won't happen.
But things are in a bit of a mess at the moment.
And who knows where it will all end.

The Irish want to keep the border open - it's good for
business and family connections. But if Brexit goes
ahead as planned, the borders may go up again.
It's one of the negotiating items.

cont'd ...

Dear Belly,

A further possibility is that new borders may be created
if Scotland and Wales breaks away from England to stay
in the EU. (smile). The Scots definitely want to
break away and so do the true Welsh.

Loudmouth/Foxy indeed, and that is the reason I think the thread can be interesting
British Labour[ they spell it differently] is a mess
In truth a win would be stranger than Trump's
Ireland? well, a border mess the likely outcome
Scotland may well leave the English soon
And a will they or won't they current is asking will Britain ever leave the EU
Even should they

Dear Belly,

I don't believe that Britain should leave the EU.
England has always been a part of Europe. Over the
centuries it has been settled by people from mainland Europe
today we see on English TV programs the number of English
people re-locating to mainland Europe for their retirement.
In today's shrinking world, it is better to be a part of
a bigger entity than to exist in isolation.

Look at what Trump's doing to America. His isolationist
policy will take years if not decades for America to
recover. Today we hear rumblings of their states wanting
to break away. Surely the UK politicians can't be as
irrational as American politicians?

I believe eventually that sanity has got to prevail.

Dear Foxy,

As a fellow-Remainer, I worry that a hard Irish border would mean scrapping the Good Friday Agreement, and the IRA going back to guerrilla war. That might give more impetus to a Scottish Independence referendum, and maybe even a Welsh one, as you perceptively point out. And perhaps even one in northern Ireland, to break from the UK and join in a United Ireland at last.

It's almost inconceivable that there weren't guidelines in place about the validity of a referendum BEFORE the referendum - that a change in the status quo (i.e. stay in the EU) had to be passed by, say, 55 % or 60 % of the electorate. [Of course, he would say that, wouldn't he, being a Remainer ?]

Were some of the implications of a 'Leave' campaign spelt out fully ? Didn't anybody think about customs and immigration and travel arrangements ? British people owning property in the rest of Europe, and vice versa ? Whatever problems there were in remaining in the EU, could they have been battled out in the European Parliament ? Especially some of the more idiotic bureaucratic diktats ?

Too ridiculous. Like putting the Hadron collider in the hands of chimps.

Love,

Joe

I too think they should stay, but that the EU unless it returns power to its parts may crumble
Other countrys are looking at leaving and others seem likely to join that number by electing new governments

Dear Joe,

Unfortunately if we look back through the history of
England from its early beginnings we see multiple
settlements and invasions from the mainland of Europe
which has created constant wars between villages, groups,
religious sects, and that's why to this day they can't
agree on anything. The European Parliament has been
getting frustrated with the English indecision and internal
bickering and they probably would be glad to see it all end.

It appears based on past experience that they will have
difficulty in resolving the issues to their own
satisfaction.

Theresa May's exit conditions were more rational than
Boris J's and as we could see they couldn't agree then.

The EU is a total catastrophe, run by leftist bureaucrats, who hate Britain.

The poms are totally mad if they don't leave, but not on the terms Boris has cobbled together. Those would see the EU with massive control over the English for ever in fact if not in name.

If they have half a brain they will just leave, & let the garbage fall where it may. The EU will be such a basket case it will probably collapse, & it couldn't happen to a nastier bunch.

The poms would be well rid of the Scots, they have become a sniveling leftist bunch of parasites, costing the English billions in welfare to keep them alive. At the same time they receive a small amount of the money the EU rips of the poms back in welfare from the EU.

A no agreement just might make the poms, if not Britain great again, they certainly has no chance while the whipping boy of the EU.

Hasbeen your use of those terms about the phantom left are as common as flies at a bar b q
Not sure the EU is such, but very sure France and highlight Germany, are using it for control/power
The place is crumbling but what becomes of it if it fails
Seems best to change the rules not the idea

Dear Hasbeen,

As history shows all past empires do collapse
sooner or later. I guess the English are hanging
on, waiting to stave off the inevitable.
Europe tried to give them a life-line, unfortunately
some of the English appear to have rejected it.
Perhaps they're hoping that another referendum and an
early election might give a better resolution to this
issue.

You've got to be kidding Foxy.

The EU has been ripping the poms off in the most outrageous way for years. I think the EU got more of the wealth of north sea oil than the poms did. They are paying for the ridiculous agricultural subsidies handed out to French, German & Italian farmers, & getting stuff all back.

Of course the UK elite are doing well out of the EU, but the working pom is losing his/her shirt.

Germany is about to collapse after destroying their industry with the love affair with wind power, & France is not much better, only being saved by their nuclear power.

The Mediterranean states are even worse than Germany, already a disaster, & the poms are picking up much of the bill to keep them eating.

You really should do a little more research before making bold statements.

Hasbeen! Germany will not fall because of wind power
In fact wind power and all renewables are doing well thank you
Germany however still wants to rule the world and saw the EU as a start
EU must confront its people largely do not want massive migration
And for that reason may see the death of the EU

Went to English online press to read about this and it seems Boris is a very real chance of not holding his seat
Implications in this mess are stunning and it can turn that country upside down

"all renewables are doing well thank you" Belly.

Where do you get this stuff Belly? Perhaps by only reading the "correct" publications.

Industry is screaming about the cost of German power, & leaving the sinking ship in droves.

Mercedes recently cancelled the building of their new state of the art plant in Germany, & announced they would build it in the USA, citing power costs as the reason.

No Germany will not collapse, but just watch the unemployment soar as industry is forced to migrate. The east German lady has finally conquered the west with her green garbage.

Britain being somewhat less socialist than the rest of Europe has for decades railed against the left whinge regulations being enacted by the bureaucrats in Brussels.

Also being one of the fastest growing economies in Europe, it found it's net contribution constantly increasing with little benefit.

Well they will remain conservative Labour is lead by an idiot not even his own party is behind him and many will leave the EU over the next decade without major changes
