Brexit

[Stephen]

I've just contacted my local Conservative office in order to get my campaign posters

I don't use paper to light my fire … just saying

It might be handy for other uses though

So the election's on then. Realistically the Lib Dems are not going to achieve a majority. So for those who believe Brexit will damage the economy it's a choice of that delivered by a Conservative win or even worse delivered by a Labour win.

After last night's results hopefully, after all the spoiling tactics and shenanigans of Parliament we can finally move forward with Brexit and work towards getting deals not only with Europe but with the rest of the world. I believe Boris will have a much stronger hand in his negotiations now that he has a better majority in government, a mandate to carry out the result of the 2016 election without Remainer MPs and ex MPs trotting across to Europe and putting obstacles in the way.
The ball is now in Boris' court.

[Stephen]

I'll be happier once they start working and getting the country in order.

[oldbluefox]

Now that we have a government which can actually govern and move Brexit along they will be able to deal with domestic issues instead of being halted at every opportunity.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Boris will also not be held to ransom by extremists at either end of the Brexit spectrum so it is likely he'll be able to negotiate a deal more acceptable to the majority

Have we left yet ?

Have we left yet ?

It's gone 12.00. What are they playing about at?

[Manoverboard]

I'm not so sure ?

Did we really know what we were voting for and should we have a referendum to finally decide.

Ah, hang on ... we've done that

[oldbluefox]

Anybody want to buy a job lot of EU flags?

I'm knocking out EU embossed number plates at half price if anyone's interested

A little memory of what once was on the car number plate.

Never thought that it would last so I never had one

Exactly. As I said on the General Election thread, the blame game can now stop. If people don't like what happens next, its tough, they won't be able to whinge about Remain MPS and generalised anti - democrats.

Just unfortunate then Gill that you, and the MPs that had a vote and not just a socmed presence, didn't accept the first vote, then we might be well on the road to an EU free life.

[oldbluefox]

And if/when it all turns out for the better I wonder how many of our Remainer friends will turn around and say 'You were right and we were wrong' and apologise? I don't hold my breath.
Looks like Jack Staff's predictions went down the swanee last night, along with the hopes of Soubry, Greave and Wollaston et al.

Sigh, I said three and half years ago that I accepted the vote, and, if it hadn’t transpired that the Leave Campaigns hadn’t broken the rules and that Brexit wasn’t predicted to be a sh*t show on all levels, I think we’d have left by now.

Anyway, we are where we are, and, as I’ve said, I have a fatalistic acceptance of where we are now.

We have to move on. Knock the MPs all you like, but perhaps it’s time to stop the personal digs at me. As you know, I’ve generally been ignoring you for the last few months, but in the spirit of new beginnings and the Christmas season, we put a stop to the personal stuff?

If it’s not a debacle and we thrive and prosper I would be more than happy to put my hand up.

If it goes the other way, how many of of our Leaver friends would turn around and say ‘you were right and we were wrong’ and apologise? Any of you like to comment on that one?

Also in the spirit of moving on - can we now stop referring to each other as leave and remain?

Finally, I don’t think it’s fair to bring Jack into it, as he’s not here to respond

[oldbluefox]

I wasn't talking about Jack, only his predictions.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Ok I'm ready to go along with the halt on personal remarks. But it has to be both ways. And we have to stop talking about lies, illegal campaigns and all that stuff in the past too. And stop guessing what might happen because we've been pretty hopeless in the past. Let's just concentrate on facts. And get behind Boris to get the best possible deal he can.

As for those demonstrating against the result. 1. Did you bother to vote? 2. Do you understand how elections work?
