Now here is the kicker! What if the EU gives the UK a grace period unilaterally that they can come back into the EU as if nothing changed, and with the new General election to be held soon after October 31st, some of the running parties could promise to keep the UK in the EU during the grace period the EU might offer. Within a short time, we will be back to square one as if the UK never left the EU. I know it all sounds a fantasy, but I wouldn’t put it past the EU and Jeremy Corbyn to cook up something like this. Totally legal and totally democratic.

there are several angles here. once bojo loses the confidence vote the likely hood of him being replaced by either corby, clark or even harman will do the job. as soon as they are confirmed the first thing they will do is delay brexit by 12 months foloowed by an election. if bojo wins again theis country deserves bojo.

there is another way round out. the speaker has said he will be creative as to what is allowed. if the pm has lost the confidence vote, it would also be possible that parliament itself takes over and delays brexit. the chance of bojo hanging on to declare an election after 31 is not a possibility unless an alternative leader is not found and/or parliament cannot decide to extend. highly unlikely becasue parliament has already voted to block no-deal and if anythig their numbers will go up.

your sugestion is not a possibility becasue corbyn has already declared that even if he wins the elction and strikes a deal with the eu, the deal will be put to the people to vote. remain without a vote is not a possibility. after all we are not barbarians, we are democrats and respect the people choice especially whenthe choice is made out of knowledge rather than fear and ignorance.

Nigel is so delighted by his new passport that he has filmed an unboxing video for his Facebook fans. The UK will get its unboxing to in just 72 days…

Bizarre...

After wanting Brexit for all these years it turns out that the best part of leaving the EU is going to be rubbing Remoaners noses in it! :lol:

No, not colourful, disrespectful of fellow forumers and I will not engage with you further.

Grow up, act like an adult and other forumers might respect what you have to say...

I'm not looking for approval nor do I desire popularity. My language is intentional and appropriate to those discussing the subject of brexit. The disckbrains that voted and support brexit are the lowest of the low and deserve no better. I'v just increased my odds to 5/1. You bet 100 Euros, you win and get paid 500 Euros. Put your money where your mouth is.

btw, you, londonrake, robinhood and that air hostes paphitis are the ones boring the pants of the forum members. I tend to come along now and then, do my driveby shooting and let you boring old farts argue amongst yourselves. If you want a decent, intelligent and respectful group of people to debate with you need to be here. http://www.cuntscorner.com/forums/forum/42-the-corner/

You didn't answer my question.
"which new exports will the UK achieve after Brexit"

The UK is not China working for slave salaries to afford any price and any shipping cost just to sell.
It's not Bolivia who can export bananas for $10 a ton and can compete with Paphos' banana producers whatever the shipping cost...


You don't understand trade do you...?

It is complicated, I can understand that...

But the key benefit of trade is importing stuff that forriners can make cheaper or better than you can...

ASSUMING you can keep yourself busy doing something more productive and profitable. That much you know it seems...Keep avoiding my question like a hot potato :lol: :lol:

So if Bolivia can grow and ship bananas cheaper than we can make the water to grow them here that makes economic sense...

If China wants to 'dump' cheap steel on the market at below cost that is a win for us...

Read some economics text books and you'd realise that the nightmare scenarios that Remainers thrive on are not nightmares at all... If the UK declared tariff free imports they would thrive on the fruits of the rest of the world...

http://lordashcroftpolls.com/wp-content ... b-2016.pdf

On page 30/37

• 60% of people in the 27 other EU countries said they would like the UK to stay in the EU, 30% said it didn’t matter and 10%
preferred the UK to leave.
• Ireland, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal, Romania and Spain were the keenest for us to stay. Austria, Cyprus, France and Luxembourg were happiest for us to leave.

i am not an exception. I will be happy if the UK leaves. :lol: :lol:

Yes, I did mean that there would be another referendum offered to re-enter the EU or not. PM’s in the UK do not rule by decree to just leave us in the EU after October 31st “do or die”, or else, the Brexiteers would start calling us “cunts” instead! :D

but i thought they were democratic. farage did say that he was going to ask for a referendum when he though he would lose 52/48 percent. when he heard it may be the other way round he soon changed their tune. people do not become kants they are born one. lets face it show me an ardent brexiteer and i will show you a kant. that does not include innocent folk they folled into voting by hooking onto phobia of people of thinking that our country is over run with migrants. not when we only accepted 5000 migrants over 5 years. compare that with kanatage wh claimed that 70 million terggs will move into europe.

you can't make it up.
