Nurse, Nurse! He's been on the boomer juice again!

The fascists are on the march on mainland Europe again.
So glad we`re leaving and putting some political distance between us and the far right in Europe.

Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble surprised fellow world leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week with his emotional confession.

Speaking to a panel of politicians, he recalled that his first reaction to the result of the EU exit referendum was simply tears. He said: "My first reaction to Brexit was: I started crying."

But he signalled the EU was ready to seal a deal with the UK which would be positive and speedy for Britain.

But the federal minister also used his speech to warn against a failure of upcoming Brexit negotiations, saying it “would be a disaster for all of us”.

He vowed to do everything possible to cushion the shock of Brexit for both the UK and Europe, and avert a 'cliff-edge' slump in trade if there is no finished deal by the March 2019 deadline.

The minister said: ”We have to minimise the damage for the United Kingdom and Europe.
“The German government will work in the negotiations always in this direction, to minimise any risk for both of us.”

He also reassured British ministers that a “comprehensive, bold and ambitious free-trade agreement” with the European Union can be made to work.

A little common sense emerging as we move nearer to Article 50 being triggered.

Actually, it's like forcing a bunch of other people to take off in a plane that's unsafe, that doesn't have enough fuel, and is going to a destination they don't want to go to. Then just after take off giving them controls and going "I don't know how to fly a plane - you'll have to do it."

It's the people who voted Remain who made a success of being in the EU, and it's the people who voted Remain who will make a success of being out of the EU.

In ten years time the Leave voters will still be whining and whinging about how liberals are oppressing them in some other way. They'll probably be campaigning to get back into Europe.

Nope.
Totally wrong.

If you seriously want to compare the UK to an unsafe plane with not enough fuel etc etc etc - how on earth do you describe the EU?
Whose member states and even politicians within the same parties of these member states cannot agree with each other?
Added to which dissent is beginning to bloom.
From Koblenz, Marine Le Pen says:

The year 2016 was characterised by the "awakening of Anglo-Saxon countries", she added, while 2017 "will be the year of the awakening of the people of continental Europe".

Marine Le Pen has told a meeting of right-wing politicians in Germany that patriotism is the policy of the future.

See?
That plane of yours is a EU plane, not a UK one.
So we can pretty much assume who will be here still grumbling in ten years time, can't we?
Probably with something along the lines of: "You killed the European Union!".

That's the way it should be toastie.
The boomers tell you what they want.
You carry out their instructions.

and make sure you do a good job, because those triple-locked pensions aren't going to pay for themselves and it'll be your taxes that have to make up the shortfall.

A political promise is quite obviously not legally binding.

And legally the referendum is merely advisory.

Now don't get me wrong, I suspect they'll make an effort to technically leave the EU, but little will change other than we won't have the veto or any say over the rules we have to play by moving forward.

Many seem to put stock in what he/she says, yet all I've seen is him/her be consistently wrong. My first introduction to Hamish's predictions was of a recession worse than that of the 2008 global financial crisis (something like 8 times worse) in the event that we left the EU.

He's an idiot. As we speak he's interrogating my profile! He won't get far there.:rotfl:

That sounds like an excellent entry for the latest edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. :laugh: :think:
