If we vote for Brexit what happens

Conrad

Another Brexit thread, yes. I cannot over-state how fascinating I find the Cult of Remain, it's a living experiment into the awesome power of Human resistance to change and immunity to fact.


FACT;
It is obvious EU - UK trade will not be deliberately hampered by the EU, thus it goes without saying that a perfectly good trading relationship will be settled upon.


So the question is, what will ardent Remainers say on the day this all becomes a reality? What coping mechanisms will they deploy?


Lets see what they say on that fateful day.


I wonder how they will explain away their emotional halve-baked narratives to their children? I know a remoaner family where the kids Facebook postings reflect the one sided narratives fed to them by their parents that simply ignore the entire Brexit panoply of benefits and facts.

Before anyone says this is a bit harsh - us Brexiteers have endured some years of abuse being labelled as thikco's and extremists.

I'm still enjoying comparing your signature with your sentiment.


The terrified Remoaner, scared of embracing change and modernity, fearful his own nation cant cope with making it's own decisions, full of woe and a harbinger doom. I'd call that 'living as a wuss'.

The referendum was called for entirely political reasons.

People of vision considered we could do better making our own decisions. Their passion lead to the biggest vote in British history.


It was won by the people in spite of all three major parties and the entire liberal establishment threatening Armageddon.


What a revolution. History wont be remembering the timid remainers

Embracing modernity by turning the clock back to 1950 and abusing people on the streets because they have a different accent.

I'll pass thanks.

About 50% of people have an IQ lower than 100.

About 50% of people voted for Brexit.

The EU is investigating tax deals. Apple was just the first.

Here's a piece from The Graudian at the end of August about this, with ongoing investigations including Amazon and McDonalds:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/aug/30/after-apple-the-other-tax-deals-in-the-european-commissions-sights

There have also been talks of investigations regarding Google, for "favoring its shopping service over those of rivals in internet search results. It has also been charged with blocking rivals in online search advertising and doing the same with dominant Android mobile operating system."

It does seem however that many of these EU investigations centre on Luxembourg's possible violations of EU rules - the above Amazon and McDonalds investigations being two such examples:

In October 2014, the EC opened an investigation into Amazon’s tax arrangements with Luxembourg, saying in a press release from the time, that a tax ruling in favor of Amazon from 2003 might be in violation of the trade bloc’s rules.

Oh & here's another one regarding Luxembourg, to keep their resident poster on these forums "in the loop":

The European Commission said Monday it had opened a probe into whether Luxembourg’s tax treatment of French energy company Engie SA breached European Union state-aid laws, the latest in a series of high-profile investigations looking at past tax deals.

Here are a few articles regarding Juncker's involvement - in particular:

“Given that Juncker met senior Amazon tax officials, it is beyond belief that tax questions weren’t discussed in these meetings.”

logic worthy of a toxic toasties who voted to discriminate against the people of black africa and wants forever to part of a white, christian, part homophobic european bureaucracy;
even sadder, is that you are proud of this.

' London acts as a money pump to the European economy. If London loses business, the European economy suffers and the business, capital and associated benefits will likely move to New York anyway'.

Morrisey comes out for Brexit;


“As for Brexit, the result was magnificent, but it is not accepted by the BBC or Sky News because they object to a public that cannot be hypnotised by BBC or Sky nonsense. These news teams are exactly the same as Fox and CNN in that they all depend on public stupidity to create their own myth of reality. Watch them at your peril!”
