This Brexit malarkey is going well

[Taunton Blue Genie]

Positivity may be healthy but delusional jingoism is not.

Do you know what you mean by 'commercial gateway to Asia' or is it just words rehashed from something you read in the Express? I am genuinely interested to know what role Singapore might play in future UK exports if not just as one part of a straight trading deal. Do you mean that the UK might not need to race for trade deals with all the other Asian countries that we currently trade with through the EU? That the city state of Singapore might act as an Asian agent for UK plc? Do tell.

I am also interested in your claim about avocados. Not about what you put on your toast (!) but the 'secondary European supply market'. I am no expert, but I understood that most avocados sold in the UK came direct by ship from Israel (and the occupied West Bank). Are you saying that they are unladed and moved to a European warehouse, and left for a while before being reloaded and delivered to the UK - adding time and cost to the transaction? Where did you get that gem from?

You have spent the last 4 years rubbishing the EU and repeating Brexit bullshit, and yet you claim to have voted Remain? Why?

Did you know that the word 'avocado' (when referring to the fruit) is a Spanish bastardisation of the Aztec word 'āhuacatl', which means testicle.

Never paid a lot of attention to its details and mechanisms voted very naively listen to project remain however over the last 4 years we have all learned so mcuh more about Europe and its workings so bit like your that chap Corbyn who you supported felt it was a very top heavy Federalist society I have become a leaver and would vote so if asked again , I suppose we need to thank Corbyn for that at least his apathy with supporting the remain vote ,how ironic Brexit /Boris useful vote winner .

No it means Singapore is becoming a commercial gate way to Asia for the UK and vise versa , big UK firms like that entry to that market whilst still having bases/jobs in the UK , if you look at Singapore we are one of their biggest traders,there is life after Europe and beyond , perfect world I suppose going forward is we buy our avocados for ones toast directly from the countries they are harvested form not via a secondary European supply market ,Somerset Brie is fine as is Kent Wines and Champers , tally ho chaps .

Positiveness is healthy.

Yes, we are one of their biggest traders, although somewhat behind China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, US, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea, Vietnam, India, Australia, Netherlands, Philippines, France, India, Saudi Arabia and Germany

You seem to have missed this question from myself and Jon.

over the last 4 years we have all learned so mcuh more about Europe and its workings

Maybe you can use this knowledge to answer the question above

[Eric Cartman]

I am going to call it 'The law of LOM', he who starts waffling about Corbyn first has lost the argument..

[Eric Cartman]

Merkel is no fan of us , the German model is about power and influence along with the french ask the Greeks and other countries who find it a lot harder than those two

Britain accusing other countries of bullying is pretty delusional

Buy the product directly for the country of origin not via the European Trading block , believe it or not they grow and make things all over the world not just in Europe , in fact some Commonwealth countries have suffered form this since we joined the European trading block.

But that means that....oh, never mind.

I am struggling to understand this, so whilst you are in the EU you can only buy things from other countries within the EU?

So using your Avocado example Herbert, the four countries that the UK sources the vast majority of that fruit from whilst it was in the EU were Peru, South Africa, Chile and Israel. Which four countries do you think it will souce avocados from in the future now that it has taken back control and no longer has to rely upon the secondary European supply market.

The messiah Jeremy Corbyn said :.

""There is nothing intrinsically socialist about the EU.""

Mr Corbyn said a vote in Ireland against the Lisbon Treaty would be "such a boost to people like us" who "do not want to live in a European empire of the 21st century."

[life on mars]

Priceless : After the footage emerged, Mr Corbyn was praised by former Ukip leader Nigel Farage, who wrote on Twitter: "Love this speech by Corbyn on the second Irish referendum. He is a real Eurosceptic. His role will be crucial over the next few weeks.

Ask yer hero Jezzer

[life on mars]

The man you wanted as PM and voted for :

Jeremy Corbyn warned of 'European empire' and said EU treaty would create 'a military Frankenstein'

Is there a difference to between him and Brexit other than he had no guts .

Yep you voted for this fella .

Hypocrisy me thinks .

I don't think I've witnessed a mental breakdown before

No substance reply not a thoughtful one either , should you not fling around the mental breakdown type quote so flimsy, typically you'd lash out if that was uttered or some other derogatory term was uttered by a Tory , double standards for all to see .
