Non - Brexit

Brexit will be very good for this country. We will be better off say some. Others say that there will be shortages of medicine, food and we will be worse off.

So, my suggestion is that if things are brilliant and everything gets better those who voted out should benefit more. But if there are shortages of food etc those who voted in should have priority.

That's fair.

Cheers...No I realise you were just reflecting on my style but sometimes I take the opportunity to clarify my stance on Pc.and other such things that tend to separate us oldies from the new generation of fans. When I was younger I probably had a more serious outlook but the way things are now it's better to take a more light hearted view..
it tends toward clashes however!
Tonight..the usual inquests about Man Utd on the radio...always them never anything on clubs rising...always more about them losing than City winning. And people wonder why the likes of me are so sarcastic...they say it's the lowest form of wit....oh no it's not!

What about the non voters
 
Whichever way Brexit goes...we can't lose out......each country has so many internal issues that will need sorting, other than Brexit including the strongest of them Germany and France. Germany and France are the two main players..we were next in line in the importance of its success..our Exit would give rise to new directions and probably signal the demise of the Eu as we know it. Future overtures will be made to us when they realise the impact of the dent we have made in the finance! May knows this..............you can listen to all the Bizarre Drama that Robert Peston sticks on it but in the end of the day Germany, France, Britain( and the Netherlands ) cannot ignore their nearest neighbours enough, other than to cause more than a mere Flutter in Economic History!

Meanwhile back in the real future, our legacy to children and grand children

At this stage, nobody knows what Brexit really means because we don't have a deal. It’s difficult to say exactly what Brexit will mean for Britain’s younger generations until we have that deal or get to the point where it's clear that we aren't going to get one. The truth is that there’s still a lot that we don’t know or, rather, can’t know until it happens. As with any break-up, you can lie awake at night thinking about it - but you don’t know what your life will be like afterwards until you’ve cut the cord.
What’s for sure, though, is that the experts agree that there is a lot more at stake than the price of Prosecco and our freedom to go to Ibiza or Berghain - namely what the future holds for our wages, cost of living and the cost of housing.

Any feelings on this?


A POOLE hospital medic and his family have just 48 hours before they must quit the UK.

Cardiac physiologist Paul Ermitano, his wife, Jamila, who works as a nurse and their baby son, who is just 15 months old, were told by the Home Office last week that they must return to the Philippines.

The Ermitanos have committed no crime and came here in 2015 at the invitation of the NHS because there was a shortage of workers doing their specialised jobs.

Now, however, following a mix-up over child benefit – they claimed it, were then told it was a mistake, and so repaid the money - their visas have not been renewed. The Echo also understands that because there is now deemed to be no employee shortage in Mr Ermitano's speciality he must earn at least £35,000 to gain enough points to stay.

Guy Verhofstadt, the European parliament’s Brexit coordinator, said: “We will never accept discrimination based on skills and on nationality.”
In a sign of growing concern over the likelihood of a no-deal Brexit, Weber, whose party is the largest group in the parliament, said that a deal already agreed in talks over citizens’ rights should be ringfenced.

Juncker also expressed concerns over the state of negotiations, telling MEPs: “We will have an interesting meeting [at the October summit] as far as Brexit is concerned. We want a deal. Those who think a no deal would be the better solution are not aware of the difficulties that such a scenario would imply.
“And when it comes to the border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, we are sticking to the point of view that we have expressed so many times. Ireland first.”

Interesting to see how this impacts the high net worth property owners in London as well as the staffing of curry houses.
 
Brexit negotiations have hit a "real problem" over the issue of the Irish border, government sources have warned.
The EU is believed to be seeking further reassurances to prevent the return of a so-called hard border involving physical checks.
Hopes of a breakthrough were raised when the Brexit secretary made an unscheduled trip to Brussels on Sunday. But talks faltered over the need for a back-up plan - known as the backstop - to avoid a hard border.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May has insisted any backstop arrangement should apply to the UK as a whole to avoid creating a new border in the Irish Sea.
But Sunday's talks had broken down after the EU had insisted on a second backstop arrangement - just involving Northern Ireland - if the UK's version wasn't ready in time, Downing Street sources indicated.
The Democratic Unionist Party has vowed to oppose any new checks on goods passing between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. And the party's Brexit spokesman has said the prospect of a no-deal Brexit is "probably inevitable".

Is it safe to come out from behind the sofa or better to invest in a bigger sofa ?
 
...a no deal brexit will hurt The EU and put pressure on individual countries to possibly breakaway...so in that respect The EU Doyens representing the union need to find a solution to a deal as much as we do!

The most disappointing thing of this whole affair is how split our political parties are over something that they should be united about, and there has been more snaking around by MP's to save their own skins. If we had presenting a totally united front to The Eu then we would be in a stronger bargaining position...but they must laughing their tits off at how we are falling apart?
