Baxter Parp Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Eh? We're out, get over it. Much more important things going on in the world. Geography says we're not out of anything, it's the single most important political issue in this part of the world and you're still a dimwit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carping on the sidelines is pathetic. "Remainiacs" and the xenophobic knobs that got us into this mess don't really have any choice but to try to make it work. I will continue to complain about the adverse effects of this monumentally stupid act of national self harm as and when they arise. I don't think I'll ever tire of laughing at news stories such as "i voted for brexit but it made my business go bust". If you think that's carping and pathetic, then great. You are entitled to your opinion. Personally i think it is more pathetic that the uk electorate decided to vote against cooperation with the neighbours mainly because they don't like foreigners. And also pathetic that the same xenophobic cretins fail to acknowledge the mounting evidence of the costs of this decision and the dearth of evidence of the benefits (yes, Sunderland, wooohoo, go spitfires!). What is truly pathetic though is using tooth-curling Daily Mail columnist portmanteaus like "remainiacs". Sad. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 The EU isn't perfect. No collective of nations with such a variety of languages, wealth, GDP, heritage etc. could be. The expansions of the EU over the last 20 years have made the differences between the wealthier, Northern nations (aka net contributors) and the poorer, Southern nations. It has made huge mistakes - the way Greece was treated in the early 2010s was atrocious, for example. But it has achieved a hell of a lot - war between EU nations doesn't happen, general prosperity, freedom of movement and so on. The UK enjoyed almost unbroken growth for 40 years. I've been at Horizon 2020 meetings this week and the pan-national scientific endeavours are carrying on nicely. For all that, there has been mistrust within England and parts of Scotland. it's been compared to the USSR, it's been called a new form of German dominance and so on. The right wing papers needed a bogey-man and the EU was happy to supply it. That, and these papers hiring clowns like Johnson to keep peddling lies and myths. I've seen first hand the delays and rising costs associated with brexit. All of this will be discounted as Covid costs, rather than brexit costs. I don't think the EU will implode any time soon. Much more likely that the UK will fail than the EU. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK enjoyed almost unbroken growth for 40 years. Totally agree on the first point. People in the UK really underestimate the role the EU has played in ensuring peace and stability, and in supporting democracy in the south and east of Europe. And Freedom of Movement was a fantastic achievement that I still can't believe we pissed away. Despite these being the overwhelming reasons for supporting remaining in the EU, most UK 'remainers' seem to think the steady supply of chicken to Nandos, keeping the crisp shelves stocked at the Coop, and a bottomless supply of East Europeans who would work for low wages were in fact the reasons for staying in. I can't agree about unbroken growth. I lived through the 70s, 80s and 90s, all of which had very shite periods of economic performance.
