Granny Danger Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 23 minutes ago, Suspect Device said: I don't believe May is Brexit daft. Has anyone ever asked how she voted in the referendum? I asked her last week. We were having a pint in Lochee and invariably the subject came up. She claims to have vote Remain but she also claims that Aberdeen will win the league this season so I don’t know what to make of it. She’s reluctant to get her round in btw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Is that Braden 'independence for Northumberland' Davey?The very same. Claims he left Labour for the Tories because they weren't committed enough to the union. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the same night you were playing snooker with Bill Clinton. He has a way with women. I am sure he could have got the answer for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Arlene Foster is right; had to happen sometime I suppose. After two years of wasted negotiations Theresa is going to waste a further two weeks trying to sell something that no one is buying. As an aside the BBC has lost all pretence of impartiality and is now a government mouthpiece. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Sigh...I did not vote leave. But I fully understand the perceived lack of democracy regarding the EU. It is an incredibly bureaucratic organisation. People could show more interest in their eu election candidates but they don't. It's remote, and incredibly unpopular. One of those great myths. There are more bureaucrats in a middling government department than the EU as a whole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 One of those great myths. There are more bureaucrats in a middling government department than the EU as a whole.That last point may be true - but we have a parliament in Westminster (not to mention Holyrood) and so arguably there's no need for another bloated administration. I'm guessing plenty of leave voters feel it's a while layer of political governance that simply isn't required.The whole travel carry-on from Brussels to Strasbourg sums it up in many ways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 One of those great myths. There are more bureaucrats in a middling government department than the EU as a whole.Let me endorse that, but from another angle. I'm of an age that well remembers the UK joining the UK and all that has happened in the intervening years.And I also well remember what the country was like at that time; a flatlining economy, a decaying industrial landscape and a much more insular society than that of today. We didn't go abroad, or at least very few of us, and our minds weren't nearly as broad as they are today.That is, those of us who recognise that the EU of 2018 is far from perfect but who are also of a mind that you don't move house because there's a crack in the bathroom ceiling.Be under no illusions, the EU has been a force for good for the people of the UK. No wonder our continental brethren shake their heads and quietly despair. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Do you think Brexit is a good idea? No. I voted against it. I'm really not a big fan of the EU though. The fact that they're preferable to a right wing Tory government in Westminster is not a massive endorsement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now we'll have to build up a whole new bloated bureaucracy to replicate all the standards stuff and safety regulations we did in cooperation with Europe, never mind the double red tape for businesses who do any trading outside the UK. Even dafter than Brussels/Strasbourg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
