And any children or pets. Similar mindset to the following: Sometimes soldiers sent behind enemy lines are issued cyanide tablets in case they are captured. Maybe there are some of them who afterwards say "okay, I wasn't captured but it would be a shame to have these go to waste." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob the tank Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I was talking to a man this morning whose daughter works for the Prudential at Stirling. The word is that some jobs are be transferred to Edinburgh, but a larger percentage are to be "offshored", with Amsterdam being the favoured option. Brexit bonus right there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 We haven’t thrown ourselves off the cliff yet, we have a period of grace and reflection. It should not be used to wish that we were actually taking the leap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One person voted leave because "I found out that our fishermen can't just fish where they like because we are in the EU." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-43534964 As usual, the fisheries thing has more depth than Bertie or others would have us understand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Blades Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 The farmers have had it coming, fucking hilarious that the Tory voting, Brexit supporting c***s have quickened their own demise by taking an ideological stance rather than being pragmatic. Thick inbred c***s that they are. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Here is the article online. Great to see some of the subsidy junkies potentially being told to f**k off.https://www.fginsight.com/news/news/defra-makes-decision-to-let-quarter-of-uk-farms-disappear-57116 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 The ones that needed the subsides would surely have wanted to stay in the EU. Too much of the land is farmed anyway but where the farms going to disappear to? Will the rich farmers buy out the ones who are going out of business, they now have a chance to make a bit cash from the needy ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTG Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Anyone else catch the Paddy Kielty programme last night - My Dad, The Peace Deal and Me. I thought he did the programmer really well.

Granny Danger Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 As pleasing as it is to see the Tory voting farmers get stuffed, the real losers will be the consumers. Food prices will rise and those on low incomes will be particularly hard hit. Foodbank use has risen drastically in recent years; it’s going to increase far more if Brexit goes ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only part that I saw involved Arlene Foster claiming that she'd leave TFS - like some South Vietnamese crook-politician on the last chopper out of Saigon - if the people ever had the temerity to join the Republic of Ireland. Turns out that the DUP does walking away as well as their ideological brethren across the water in Scotland when their club died.

Aye - didn't cover herself in glory there but she was at pains to remain fixed to her political position and not give an inch on that front. Most of the other folk interviewed were a tad more flexible. Interesting to see how different people managed loss in different ways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I cannot understand why a reasonable stance like 'we're obviously completely opposed to this option and would campaign against it, but in the event of the people deciding otherwise we'd decisively represent our voters' concerns by securing autonomy and guaranteed minority rights in any new state' cannot be expressed by Foster and her ilk. Instead she'd rather swan off to a destination unknown and leave her precious community to look after themselves! It'd be like Nicola Sturgeon leaving the country after the 2014 referendum result and storming off to Catalonia in a huff; an absolutely laughable view of political leadership that would see a politician emptied here immediately. If the identity issue was removed from the debate tomorrow then the most logical solution to Brexit and the Irish border question is an Irish union with extensive and guaranteed autonomy and minority rights within TFS, Nobody expects Loyalist parties to actively campaign for that, but when the economic superiority of the South and the trade barrier arguments are so firmly lined up behind such an outcome it is ridiculous for Foster to disown her own population for daring to favour jobs and prosperity to being attached to a corpse draped in a Union Jack. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTG Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 It seems an absolute certainty to me that there will be a customs union arrangement in Ireland. If that's the case, there will need to be a customs union arrangement for rUK. If that's the case, there will need do be freedom of movement because it's a basic tenet of a customs union. Brexit will add up to something close to the square root of f**k all. A small war may be avoided but Barnsley Bob and his tattooed pitbull will be utterly fucking raging - which is fantastic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
