Pesky Europeans all give and no take.

I'm fairly sure we left because we didn't want to hand over our entire European arsenal and not because they were a convenient scapegoat.

You obviously don’t know how the EU works, we could have vetoed these so called plans . When you voted leave did you vote for the easiest deal in history? Mays Deal? Boris’s oven ready deal? No deal? Or didn’t you care ?

Surely in a big group,different parties want different things?However with the power of veto we could never be made to do something we didn't agree too (ie the euro)

Your joking? We were promised a ‘great easy deal’ and there was ‘no chance’ of a no deal and now you are pretending that a no deal is nothing worth worrying about. Btw, have you really been waiting 40 years for a chance to vote to leave the EU?

If you actually read what was said and not what lots of idiots repeat it was " SHOULD" be an easy deal. Which it should. You're another one who claims leavers were brainwashed but can't see that you have been by the remain lies.

So far the EU want us to keep fishing rules the same, keep us tied to all their rules and regs and allow THEIR court to decided if we are sticking to it all.

That's a bit like you leaving your local social club but allowing their members to use your house free, them deciding when and how you decorate your house and if you disagree with anything getting their agent to decide, all in exchange for you selling them £50 worth of goods while they sell you £100 .

Wrong, do your research, there was no mention of ‘should’ it was men’t to be an easy, great deal. Anyway , the type of deal doesn’t matter? Correct? And why would the larger trading bloc make concessions to a much smaller trading nation? The EU have the upper hand in any deals , just like the USA & China will have over the UK , that is the way business works making your list of analogies laughable . When did you first want the UK to leave the EU?

The same as I've always said, that is not to be part of the united states of europe, that is the ultimate aim and as I have said loads of time IF every country has a vote on that and those who want it win then fair enough, the citizens of europe are being led up the garden path, step by step with NO say on all the little changes that bring greater and greater integration.

I have no issue with freedom of movement etc but we were faced with a simple yes or no so it had to be leave for me. IF we had another vote to return to the days off just a trade block and perhaps some tweaks on movement, but dumping all the politics and ecj I would vote yes to rejoining.

But how did it impact your everyday life? For me, it has to be markedly better for this to all be worth it. I can't see how there will be any difference, in fact a drop in our economy, food standards and god knows what yet.

Sooner or later there will be a trade deal between the EU and the UK, all it needs is to stop playing politics with it.

The EU has never reached an agreement among member states until the deadline has passed, loads of last minute talks in fancy hotels with large expenses to claim for those involved in the horse trading, BOTH sides will lose out if an agreement isnt done, sorry that's not quite right the workers who lose jobs will lose out, the fat cats on the euro side who are more concerned with their political dream wont give a fuck, they will still do very nicely thank you very much.

Can I ask you again. When you voted to leave which deal were you hoping for ? or did you simply vote in order to prevent an EU army ?

We weren't ask to vote on a deal.

If the EU dont want a sensible deal then no deal it is.

I have no problems with that, apart from cars and food most tariffs arent worth worrying about.

And there we have it, translated..'I'm alright Jack, don't give a fuck about my fellow countrymen who will lose their jobs'.....

Sums it up really.

Except part of my business is producing food so no you're wrong it's not a case of I'm all right jack

I repect your honest answer, the vast majority of leave voters I know haven’t got a clue what they voted for . Unfortunately , leaving with out a deal is going to be a complete and utter disaster

For some reason, I’d rather have an EU armed force that includes Britain than Little England pretending it’s still a super power that it no longer is and that can only rely on an alien ?? like Trump if he’s in a good mood to defend us.

I doubt many if anyone thinks we are major military force hence NATO. However the EU countries military are woeful and refuse to spend on them to the point that Germany has no effective air force anymore as most of the planes are grounded needing repair.

Germany hasn't had a proper army / air force since WW2 because it was not allowed to have one. There are already Franco-German troops and it has been the case for a very long time. It is a sign that the continent has moved o from the war and the grudges. Britain and France have been involved in a lot of military campaigns together in the past 50 years. It doesn't seem to have been a major issue and we have always been happy to be on the same side. At least the French didn't decide to follow the US like the poodle we were when the Yanks decided to go to Iraq on the back of fake evidence.

Germany was allowed an army after WW2 and had an excellent one. They had excellent leopard tanks and tornados. Until recently they were not allowed to be deployed abroad. Oddly an EU armed force will technically allow Germany to have nuclear weapons that at present they are banned from. Yes Anglo French campaigns have been done in the past but Britain will not be in this future armed force so it basically leaves the french. I too mentioned Iraq as an illegal war when saying Blair is no longer in a position to repeat that

I am personally not worried at all about Germany becoming a nuclear power. There are countries I’m really worried about but Germany isn’t one of them. I just find it sad that countries that have managed to get so much closer for the past 80 years are about to diverge when they have so much in common culturally, geographically and politically. America is declining too and even a democrat administration may not change radically the US stance on NATO. We’ll see but we’ve pretty much told 27 countries to fuck off, we’re obviously locking horns with China and we know how bad our relationship is with Russia. All our eggs are in the American basket. And you could argue that the US is a less reliable ally than it used to be.

The case for, at least postponing Brexit, is getting clearer and stronger. "

I totally agree with you but, it's almost cultish now. A lot of people, no matter what evidence is presented, will want s no deal. I remember listening to radio phone ins, a few callers said they didn't mind losing their businesses if we got out. It's madness

Can’t help think that Covid was the “good day to bury bad news” excuse when it comes to Brexit job losses.

Businesses have a nice easy excuse when it comes to preparing for lean times ahead now.

When all this happened a half competent gmnt would have approached the eu and asked for the ramifications on leaving.They would have then told both sides to detail their argument dealing just in facts and the referendum would have been put to the electorate.

Instead we had an ref based on 20 years of lies and decided what to do afterwards.

The country voted to leave. It doesn’t mean that it’s not a cretinous decision. I’d like to know how much expertise you have in international trade, EU institutions and EU regulations you have in order to make an informed decision.

No I’m saying that on one side we’ll feel the blow of trading less or with more difficulty with 27 countries whereas on their side, they will have lost trading partner. 1 lost trading partner for them, 27 for us. I hope that makes sense.

What I’m trying to say is that we elect politicians to represent us and deal with big topics like the EU, Health, Foreign affairs themselves. It’s their area of expertise. Some people who voted in the referendum ( on both sides) can’t even read or apply social distancing in Bournemouth of bringing up their children decently so I can only assume that if they can’t do these simple things, they are completely incapable of making an informed decision on something like the EU.

The idea that these people have decided the fate of our country and 65 m people is pretty shocking. We are talking about 1% of electors... As an ex teacher, I could write a book on what the bottom 1% of a school is like. They live in a different universe...

They decided to have a referendum because of a populist party - UKIP that campaigned for it for a long time. They gambled and they lost. However, people voted to leave and we should now bite the bullet. Democracy means that everybody is entitled to a vote regardless of their competence. I guess that’s one of the downsides of democracy.

However there’s one concept of democracy that brexiters keep forgetting about: the necessity to compromise. It’s one of the five pillars of democracy. Democracy is not the winners takes it all and fuck everyone else.

We didn’t leave until 2020 because there were 20 million different ways to leave the EU and none of them was written on the ballot paper. Had we known e a rly what kind of sea we would have had before the referendum took place, the result might have been completely different. What we had I dread was ‘it’ll be the easiest day in history’. OK....

I’m an ardent remainer but I’ve always said we should leave and implement the result. However it didn’t say no deal on the ballot paper. With the result being so close, we should have the least radical Brexit possible. That would be democratic and sensible. However it looks like we’re heading towards the most radical one and the brexiters who accuse parliament to thwart brexit last year are now guilty of the same extremism by going for the winner takes it all stance which is frankly disgraceful.

I personally think the more radical Brexit we get, the more likely we are to rejoin soon. The more compromised Brexit we get, the longer we’ll stay out and the more people will want to stick to it.

It’ll take a long time but this madness will stop and reason will prevail in the end. Britain is worth better than the shitshow we have been served by the loonies from the far right and common sense will hopefully return once the populists have been found out and exposed.

Politics is made of cycles. We’re currently bogged down with the populist buffoons that are Johnson, Trump etc... but like everything else, there will be an end to their era.

"Wow, same people still moaning about the same stuff.!

Hey, it might be because we care about our country, it's people and their livelihoods.

Actually it reads as if you don't care about the UK.

You have no belief in the UK and the UK is only worth being in if it is part of some EU superstate where your opinions don't matter.!

I await you blinkered reply no doubt!

Can you explain to me how you have translated 'we care about our country, it's people and their livelihoods', into 'you don't care'?

You are effectively saying you are happy for British people to lose their jobs and companies to be worse off? Why? So we can have s different coloured passport?

The country voted to leave. But you don't care what the country vote for.!!

For the vast majority of people their expertise doesn’t go much further than ‘let’s take back control’ and the 365 million for the nhs crappy slogan.

Of course and everyone who votes in a general election has a political degree don't they.!

Hence why, referenda on such complex issues, is stupid!

So you want to get ride of votes for the UK people now!

Let's just have people unelected by the UK people in charge making the decisions then.

Hold on we had that and decided to leave the EU!

When you say unelected do you mean the mep's?"

No I don't mean the MEP's.!

Well, we should all be fighting for the best deal we can possibly get. The problem is, it will never be as good as the one we had. So, I'm struggling to see what it is exactly that you have won? As far as I can see, we are all going to lose.

"But it was not made clear. That Brussels. The EU wanted to control our banks, Pension funds.

Army Navy Airforce. Even wanted us to hand over our nuclear arsenal.

Now weren't we lucky.

Lucky. This country would have been totally fucked.

Saying that, we may still be.You could write this on the headboard of your bed. Just to remind you as they were fucking us up the ass.

The results of brainwashing are very sad to see.

Says the man that kept saying the nhs had had its funds cut by the Tories, and had been brainwashed into thinking that.

We ALL believe we arent susceptible to it "

Except it has.The amount spent pre-covid on the NHS, per resident in the UK has gone down every decade.

The gross figure has increased, but not in terms of increasing it in line with population demand. I'm not just on about population growth, I'm in about the reality that once you get to 50+, the NHS requires more investment for you as as a 50+ year old, as generally you are more at risk of accidents and all diseases.

I hate to say it, but you're not looking at the statistics.

Can I ask you again. When you voted to leave which deal were you hoping for ? or did you simply vote in order to prevent an EU army ?

We weren't ask to vote on a deal.

If the EU dont want a sensible deal then no deal it is.

I have no problems with that, apart from cars and food most tariffs arent worth worrying about.

And there we have it, translated..'I'm alright Jack, don't give a fuck about my fellow countrymen who will lose their jobs'.....

Sums it up really.

Except part of my business is producing food so no you're wrong it's not a case of I'm all right jack

We won’t get an EU army

Is an EU army / armed forces a good idea? Would you want it? What would other nations contribute to it and is it as well as NATO or instead of NATO ?

I'm waiting to hear the downside tbh.

It would be cheaper ,we would be stronger and reduce further the chance of conflict.

It appears popular with some European leaders. Are you saying an European armed force would be stronger than NATO?

Not sure?

Just a bit surprised there is so much opposition to it or actually..no.im not at all.

Fairly sure that isn't the reason we came out though."

The current 27 EU nations military put together are a fraction of what the US has. If they are to replace NATO they will need to increase spending massively. I'm not sure they are up for that even without the pandemic problems

So let's recap on here we voted to leave and people where stupid for voting that way, so let's stop people voting unless they vote the way they should. Mmmm sound's like a dictatorial state would suit most, that's what the EU is heading towards so maybe we sould have stayed in.

Germany can't be a nuclear power in its own right like others but can have the weapons if they were under the control of an EU military. Not sure we told the EU to fuck off but I agree some may interpret it that way

"OK, so both of you have said we have politicians to make the difficult decisions for us.

And you are both happy with that.

Well these same politicians sat in parliament in 2015 and voted to hold a referendum on the EU and agreed to implement the result which ever way it went.

You must be happy that 555 MP's voted to hold a referendum.

That is very true.

However the UK voted in June 2016 to leave and because of resistance from the losing side the UK didn't actually leave until January 2020.

On any vote the more accurate information the better. Do you think last year we had enough new information to make another choice?

Now your conflating voting in a gE to dictatorship.

The people should not be given referendum votes.

They should be allowed to vote for a party to form a govt

Thats why its called Democracy.
