Brexit and the Consequences

[Atilla]

Came across this joke and it soooo reminded me of Brexiteers wish list :cheesy:

Harry prays to God: Dear Lord, please make me win the lottery.

The next day Harry begs the Lord again: Please make it so I win the lottery, Lord!

The next day, Harry again prays: Please, please, dear Lord, make me win the lottery!

Suddenly he hears a voice from above: Harry, would you kindly go and buy a lottery ticket.

It's as if the politicians are going out of their way to muddle through in case they might offend someone. Way it stands at the mo....they are offending everyone.

What is patently obvious is that the EU has been doing the governing and our sorry bunch of politicians have no idea how to be in charge and as a consequence, they are sh1t scared of power and responsibility

Always the same with socialist organisations when you step out of line – they just can't tolerate anything that contravenes their ideology. We've got it here with Jezza and Momentum. In the digital age where everybody has the ability to find out what's really going on if they want to, they're not going to get away with it.

Good luck to the Hungarians - they know what it's like to be overcome by an outside authority.

If the Right wingers get into power it may be back to the bad old days of sending in the troops to quell any opposition. Nothing changes.

Only moderates can lend sufficient votes to either side in order that one side gets into power. The idea that enough people suddenly become leftie or righty at the extreme is ludicrous.

Good point. I wonder how many of the thousands that signed up to Jezza would actually vote for him today now that they know what he and his racist lot are like?

Well on that single issue, probably a lot less. Problem is, others may have issues and gripes which could manifest as protest votes, which allows him in anyway.

May made a catastrophic error at the last election with her non campaign message, giving the likes of Corbyn and McDonnell free run. May is almost certainly inept, but those two are outright dangerous.

Not surprising, given that the Tories signed away our MP's ability to govern with any authority over to the EU at its inception in 1993. Our MP's have just rolled over ever since.

We need a bunch with some b@lls to get a grip, sadly those with the b@lls will probably never get enough power because of our first past the post system.

Some, as in Sweden think " those with balls " are the answer. I think I prefer those with brains and consideration are a better bet for a better world.
Neo nazis are just as awful as they always were. They only thing they were good at was vicious repression.

So when the general voting public gets no action with the mainstream parties on the migration issue, then they vote accordingly to force their politicians to act. This doesn't make voters extremists, they want action and not just in Sweden but across the whole EU.

I can see where all this will end up. The EU will fail and every member country will implement it's own Govt policies.

In the meantime, the MSM government mouthpieces will call dissenting voices the usual 'far-right', 'neo-nazi', 'racist', all of which is untrue, none of which is believed by anyone but the gullible and lefties who are part of the problem. All those terms have lost their meanings.

It's gonna be a long hard struggle when the institutions, the MSM, the state and the police are all against those with common sense, they are taking every opportunity to keep themselves in power, the UK is a Stasi state, just look at the latest cynical attempt to shutdown dissent:

It looks like the banks don't believe in Project Fear any more!

https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2018/09/the-banks-abandon-project-fear/


"Three senior bankers from Barclays, J.P. Morgan and Citi descended on the House of Commons today [11 Sep 2018] to give evidence to the Treasury Select Committee on the impact of a No Deal Brexit. Their interview must have seemed like perfect timing for Chancellor Philip Hammond, who is currently doing his own tour of the Commons and is expected to drum up support for Chequers by stoking fears of the calamitous impact of No Deal

Unfortunately for Hammond, the three bankers were not nearly as morose as the Treasury could have hoped for. Instead they said the risks of No Deal were comparable to the instability they regularly faced across the world.

James Bardrick, Head of Citi UK said:

‘As an industry we are actually used, we operate in 160 countries around the world, we are physically present in a 100 and I can tell you there has never been a time in my 30 plus years in the organisation where there hasn’t been something quite dramatic going on as change.’

Kevin Wall, CEO of Barclays Ireland also played down the risks of No Deal, saying:

‘We face these challenges day after day now. Our European business is about 10pc, it’s important, but its only 10pc’

These level headed predictions were a little surprising to Mr Steerpike though, considering how dramatic all three banking houses were in the run-up to, and aftermath of the Referendum.

Back in 2016, the Barclays Chairman warned that Brexit was ‘a political crisis that has the potential to create an economic one.’ Citigroup predicted large job cuts to its 9,000 based London staff and the CEO of J.P. Morgan said that the firm may move out of the UK:

‘If we have that passport after Brexit, we likely would not have to make any change at all. But I think the European Union will not accept that. It will put more conditions on the U.K. and might force banks to become smaller in London.’

All three now admit that job losses in their firms will be in the low hundreds.

It seems that the three horsemen of the apocalypse have become the three stooges, and finally exposed Project Fear for what it was."

Hmm, from where i'm standing, the pace of change is accelerating and becoming the norm not just in Europe and the US but more globally.

Anyway, have you given up defending the EU these days? It's all gone rather quiet

Agreed... but more than likely in CV's lifetime...

... some poor migrant more likely to be taking care of CV; bathing and wiping his ****, feeding and wiping mouth too.

Hopefully not with the same hand.

There’s only a bit of fraying around the edges and that’ll soon stop when economies pick up some more. No, I still believe in the EU - it has a lot of faults but, on balance, it’s been and continues to be a success.
