Brexit

[triumphstag]

He was seven. Maybe



Five year old? Don't recall saying that. Perhaps go back and reread it. And it wasn't an insult - just a simple fact.

Oh, I do apologise.... it clearly wasn't an lnsult at all.......

Odd fact to put on a forum. Can he spell other words or just that one?

No he's pretty good actually. He can spell lots of words.
Now if we want to get into scholastic achievements he can you tell the difference between 5 and 7. He's pretty good with numbers too.

This is all very well but is there even a legal way back now we have triggered Article 50 and handed in our letter?

 

[Craiglxviii]

I believe we would have to reapply...

Good for him. Like most remainers I see you are latching onto one unimportant point and trying to make cheap capital out of it.

I shan't lose any sleep that I mistakenly said he was 5 rather than 7. Hardly a Dianne Abbott level of mathematical error.

Gents, gents, let's not descent to banned-member levels of discussion please...

In theory there is no way, it would have to be a reapplication under new terms, which would be even less palatable than the previous terms, but it is really uncharted territory and possibly open to legal challenge as to whether article 50 could be revoked (the wording is just woolly enough for this to happen).... But I would imagine that there would be no way back on current terms, only worse ones (No rebate, no veto etc)

When did we?

Gov announce - hmm 2 years ago that it would be stopped (I think).

- I did think that continuing to send them aid was ridiculous because they should surely look after their own - they seem to have boatloads of lolly (enough to buy the odd steel or car company for example) while we have a growing number of food banks.

 

[davemercedes]

Just want to say that I'm feeling really positive about Brexit , the wave of euphoria just hit me after a mug of hot chocolate . We are going to be a global superpower . It's all plain sailing from here on out

Yup plain sailing. Downwards?

 

[davemercedes]

R e m o a n. Yes, you are right. Very easy to spell.

Well done.
You just proved that a seven year old can sell better than you!

And you as well by the look of things......

Thing is, yes they do have a lot of money in their economy, but the divide between the haves and have nots over there makes our divide look insignificant

There is real real poverty in many parts of India, which is why stopping aid to them is a bit of a double edged sword - we should not be borrowing money to give it to a rich country in aid, but there is a lot of poverty that needs to be addressed. That said, im not sure how much good our donation was actually doing and how much was getting through to the people that needed it..

 

[davemercedes]

Actually it was a comment about the strength of your argument. Plenty of insults have been thrown from both sides.

It really wasn't. It was one of the first insults I heard, even before the vote took place.

You want to take my comments as ridicule, go ahead, that is your right. But I suppose that the intended meaning of saying that your five year old grandson can spell remain is not an insult at all? Glass houses and all that.

I think you're wrong. I recall making it up (see above) in response to the insulting "remoan" tag. You know, the polite and respectful nickname applied by people who don't agree with those who did not vote to leave. So as LK says AFAIK it was most certainly a tit-for-tat response term.

our cash helped them put a shiney space rocket in the air last year ! so poverty of their own people is very low on the agenda in India apparently

No, definitely heard it before the referendum vote.... I didn't say I heard it on here, but you certainly didn't invent it.

Insults have been flying from the remain side long before the vote was cast.

It's a shame that the difference of opinions between the eu Ins and Outs gets so emotive, but not really surprising.
It's reasonable to disapprove with the close call referendum and reasonable to be glad it went our way, but arguing the pros and cons now isn't going to make a difference to the final result of negotiations, but it can still be interesting.

I can see there being a differing of views regarding if the Tories should get more or less power from the election and I'm more than happy to debate the pros and cons of that. The insults detract from intelligent debate, and just like politicians do, it clouds the true argument here.

I've got my beliefs in the Brexit situation and I'm happy to discuss, because it might be that a good argument from others might cause me to evolve those views. I can't see the value of being offensive to try and support an argument though.

 

[bembo449]

I can see the torries bottling it and not doing 3/4 of what they promised in the brexit vote . . . . . .

 

[geraldrobins]

Cant we just agree insults have been cast from all sides and not worry about how it started.
We all have to live together after Brexit and live with the result.

How can you 3/4 leave the EU.
