You're repeating what has been said on here for the last 3 years. Can you come up with anything new? How about the race card?
You don't actually know what you voted for by remaining , do you ?
Entertain us by telling us your own top ten reasons to remain, rather than simply slag off the leavers....
Shouldn' t be difficult for someone who knows it all. This should be funny.

Easy

1) Our economy is fragile and doesn’t need another shock especially as a recession is due globally

2) Multilateral action is needed on climate change

3) Multilteral action is needed on tax avoidance

4) We benefit from incoming FoM economically

5) We benefit culturally

6) Allows is to access EU wide energy networks and we should be selling wind power really

7) Shared standards open up opportunities for businesses like mine to easily expand when they want

8) Imports mean we have a wide variety of cheap food

9) Exports made easy

10) World is made up of large superpowers or blocks we will get butt raped by on negotiations. EU puts us on a level playing field

11) We get a significant influence over one of the largest trading blocks. Better to be in pissing out than out pissing in. Stops things like punitive taxes on our financial industry.

12) Regional development funds allow regeneration where U.K. govt fails

Cant wait until you realise you have voted for something solely to annoy strangers on the internet.

Remainers really do live rent free in your guys heads don’t we?

“Grrrr I’ll show them my degree from the university of life is worth as much as their actual degree”

Maybe a few more laughing emojis will make you feel better.

Lads it's all a bit late for these slanging matches, we really do need to start looking forward now.

Not being sarcastic I just don't think arguing over something that has happened and is healthy or productive... Just my 50p

Were past this phase now surely.. Its about the future

There is also an argument for world security and reducing the likelihood of future conflicts and war. Europe has had centuries of fighting and wars with countries getting into willy-waving contests. Look where the last big bout of nationalism and populism took the continent/world.......

Unbelievable isn’t. It’s always leavers that don’t know these things as well. Remainers for some reason always seem clued up on this type of thing.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear BSB. I wasn’t assuming, the economy was the No 1 reason why people voted remain. I was then just making the point that some (not all or a majority) of those would’ve been based on the negative projections (some excessive which are unlikely to come true)

Also there is no issue with challenging. I would certainly expect it if things do turn to shit (which they could do, who knows ! I personally don’t think things will turn out that bad). All I’m saying is that we are going over the same arguments from pre referendum/withdrawal agreement/brexit day when the decision has been made/enacted upon, so let’s try to make the best of it and at least see how things progress.

ps your mate Bill Mayer was quite complementary about old Bernie this week !

pps just saw your comments on migration. It’s hard to disagree with the sentiment but my comments are specific about net EU migration. For example I appreciate that they are net contributors, however, my point has always been about ‘control’ ie limit numbers (in general or skillset) if needed to allow infrastructure to catch up and/or free up space for Non EU migrates people with other/different skills etc. Non EU migration has increased but from memory it also includes higher numbers of students
Click to expand...

No I know that the economy was the leading factor but I disagree that David Cameron scared me into believing the figures. Non EU migration is higher than EU migration. If the government has failed to curtail the former what reason is there to believe it will do the latter? The truth is we are reliant on foreign labour because our education system has been unfit for purpose for a long time and we go on to shaft the public sector to no end.

My question is simply who will they blame when things still haven't changed and we're out of the EU? At what point do our governments take responsibility for the outcomes of their policies and their actions? Blaming the EU has bought them some time but they can't keep passing the buck.

We signed a continuation trade deal with South Korea last June. Fucking hell brexiteers are clueless. You wank yourself off over a nothing, speculative news article and completely missed the actual “good news” Brexit trade announcement that was very publicly announced in the summer (it was the first such continuity deal signed with an Asia country) even though it’s apparently crucial to your industry.

This is it. Wanking indeed. Brilliant. I don't come out with this level of quality.

Correcting a twat who thinks he’s cleverer than he is. Fancy giving it the bigun that you’re big in the car industry going on about how common sense will prevail between the U.K. and Korea and a trade deal will done completely unaware that it actually was done in the middle of last year.
Anyhow. The emotion I was conveying in that post was amusement. The fact that you’ve mistaken it for anger or bitterness is what I think is referred to as transference.

Yes, exactly.

And thats the point, they have no idea what they voted for & they don't understand what they're going to get. Of course some people made informed decisions, and thats fine, but there can be little doubt that a whole lot more people had no clue what it was all about, were ignorant to the details and all they understood were the taglines about "taking back control" and "controlling our borders".

It’s easy to gloss over this by enthusiastically waving some Union Jacks around (apparently the primary measure of your patriotism) and a photo shoot of Farage holding a pint now and then.

FOM is a classic example... we control the movement of people from the EU - just fill the gaps from Africa and Asia.

One of Johnson's first lies to come undone was that FOM would stop on day one-it still applies till December 31st. Then he lied about the border down the Irish Sea.

No. Grendull claims to be a big deal in the car industry. Grendull then goes on about the importance of a deal between the U.K. and Korea for the U.K. car industry. Grendull is unaware of the fact that that deal he claims to be so important is already done.

Comprehension clearly not your strong point.

I think you are confusing people Tony. It’s me you are talking about and I’m afraid again you are confused.

This was a hastily arranged agreement in the case of no deal as your article references. However it’s irrelevant once we agree an actual trading arrangement and as I said there was a huge issue regarding homologation issues regarding a model year certification regardless of this so called deal

Good to see you have gone back to your roots though Tony as now are believing Liam Fox and the Tories, you’ll be back supporting UKIP soon

Guess where cars are warehoused are the moment from Korea Tony for uk customers ?

Wrong poster, link that’s irrelevant and something you can’t understand and now supporting Liam Fox

Well done Tony
