It's incredible. A trade deal with the US is a massive opportunity when it's the UK but a real problem when it's the EU.
I find it amazing that anyone can look at what is happening and still think, yeah this is gonna work out well in the end. Even if you're dead keen on the idea of brexit, just look at the people currently in parliament. We have no chance.
Lardy, I meant the debate on here isn't serious in the great scheme of things, not that the subject itself isn't.
But your last comment is deeply worrying. Do you believe that people who may be deemed to not understand something as much as others might should be denied a vote?

These two ****wits, you have to laugh.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47833702 The bloke believes he's got his "identity back"!
I know you have Russian sympathies and having lived in the young "democracy" that is Azerbaijan for a few years maybe you have lost touch with the concept that, in a democracy, people CAN CHANGE THEIR ****ING MINDS.
You still haven't explained what the leave campaign actually won. Apart from bragging rights that lower this debate to nothing more than "banter" between rival fans. So, this is the perfect stage for such trivialities - providing Putin doesn't start deleting shit again.
Not entirely just for the banter Peter but some folk on here are so far up their own ar-es that the have this compulsion to force their ideas and opinions on others despite their deeper intelligence knowing they're never going to change 1 person's mind, and even if they did it wouldn't alter squat.
Oh, and believe it or not, some on here are contentious and argumentative just to wind other people up. Shocking I know, but that's what boredom can do.
Well that is a whole new can of worms. Denied the opportunity to elect a representative to act in their interests in parliament, no.
People not understanding what they are voting for is a pretty good argument for not holding referendums. But then we are denied the right to vote on all sorts of things.
Now you are getting ****ing personal. You do not know I have Russian sympathies. you know sod all about me. Do not suggest I have lost touch with anything. If you had ever lived in Azerbaijan and seen how ordinary folks live (if you can call it that) you would never ever dream of making the stupid comment you did.
You haven't changed have you jirga?
Only ever one. I don't have the urge to make up new ones to get at people or to duck being banned, which is what some, like jenny wren for example!
I actually only learned of the board when I was working on the Olympics in London and a colleague asked me if I was a member. Silly thing is he left about a week after he arrived and I never found out what his name was
By the way, the case resting, was regarding my comment about winding people up. sorry!
Assuming you can’t be bothered to turn back a page and find it - I have copied and pasted it below for your convenience:

Yes, but won what? A leave with or without a deal or does it not really matter as long as we leave?
The result isn't important, you basically implied they couldn't fight... One country controlled most of continental Europe for years due to their armies, the fact that pretty much every other power within Europe had to come together to beat that one country suggests that they could fight.
Also how about the 100 years war... I think the French actually won that one eventually but some idiot named it before it had finished!

We already have one with both. The US are not going to give little UK the same trade deal as they give the big EU... That's how trade deals work.... The bigger you are the better the deal you get. It also takes years to negotiate trade deals, they don't just grow in trees and personally I wouldn't trust this government to negotiate a reduced price on a sofa from DFS
Ok, I'll bite. Let's suppose the forecast of a loss of 100k German jobs due to Brexit is correct. Agree?
German exports to the UK constitute around 6.5% of all German exports. So a 0.5% loss in German GDP would result from a smallish reduction in German exports. So if you take UK exports to Germany, France, Holland, Ireland, Belgium, Spain and Italy and ignore the other UK to EU exports you have approximately 38% of UK exports. Using the same ratio, the loss of those exports would constitute in excess of a 3% loss in UK GDP and 600k jobs lost.
If the Germans are worried, the UK subjects should be petrified ...
