The Positive Brexit Thread

[Herman 9,779]

My problem birdie is that Farage is clearly a grifter, a conman and has done massive amounts of damage to this country. People making excuses for him boils my ****. 

[TheGunnShow 5,940]

Talking of the culture wars, you can't expect to lie (the notion that homosexuality is a "sin", that it is an "ideology") and not get confronted with the truth (that it isn't in both cases).

You don't confront lies with silence.

Interesting that neither birdie or barbie are questioning Farage's blatant fraudulence. 

Farage didn't have enough money for a coouts account. Everything else is pure speculation bordering on conspiracy theory and fantasy. I would be quite happy with farage entering quiet retirement so I have no great interest in doing him a  favour  and joining the pseudo sexual pursuit.

You assume that people can't focus on more than one thing. There's numerous threads on this forum where you can discuss the inflation figures, Ukraine or Farage being a **** etc. and we're all capable of reading or writing on all of them. 

I'm not particularly talking about the back end of this forum. It's  a place where consenting adults come knowing what they will get.    But, yes I do believe that the general public  has limited bandwidth and thag some of that should be reserved for the very important things of the type you describe and not dominated by meghan markle, nigel farage, gender neutral pronouns, 'release the Russia report!' and all the rest of it

If we're getting technical I suspect the general public have a low pass filter.

It's a more acerbic play on words for anybody with an engineering background given your 'limited bandwidth' quip. A limited bandwidth signal is likely consistent with a low pass filter (it only allows or limits slow things to pass i.e. frequencies or in this quip people). Your (analogue not VOIP) phone has an ADSL filter in-line (low pass) before it meets the BT socket most likely. It stops the much higher frequency 'internet' or broadband signals from confusing your 'slow' (audio frequency) phone. Of course in the days of dial-up modems and faxes many of us will recall the slow beeps and buzzing of the 'slow' low bandwidth data stream!

Fraud's overegging it;. He has made a claim about why they're doing it. Increasingly it's clear that he's not rich enough to be a customer of theirs in principle and hasn't been for some time, but he has been one for a long time, so why now? Do they have other customers that have fallen under thresholds who they're also kicking out. It would be interesting to know.

You yourself have plenty of things you choose to believe are true without actually being able to support it. His supporters will take the same approach that he's right and it's 'the establishment getting revenge'. Let's face it, you're delighted about it simply because it's Farage; who knows?

Farage wanted us out of the EU for years. God knows why, but that's his right, same as it's Nicola Sturgeon's right to want Scotland out of the UK. Brexiteers and Scot Nats share a dim view of the 'establishment', so things like this that paint a picture where there 'could' be dirty tricks behind the scenes will always play well for them.

I've got way more reason to hate Farage than you. Him getting his way meant that having my titre de sejour stolen in London meant I spent my last day in London traipsing around police stations and talking to the embassy to make sure I was going to be alright going back into France, getting police reports to get a replacement. It means I have been stripped of my right to be here; instead I'm now a guest under sufferance of the French government. But I still respect the fact that I'm part of a democratic nation where people have the right to hold different views to myself and affect the way my country is governed and how it deals with other countries in a way I wouldn't necessarily approve of.

But it wasn't just Farage that caused the vote to leave the EU. It was a whole host of factors that combined to make the seemingly unlikely happen.

Your problem is you make everything personal, just like the comment I'm replying to.

I see that the EU have signed their fantastic trade deal with New Zealand. And they didn't have to leave the EU to do it.

Yes - Until a few days ago I was of the opinion that the EU would relax the CoO rule - but for the EU it's about much bigger fish i.e not only UK but RoW including US imports and won't renegotiate it. It's a protective measure.

The UK car industry is about to be largely squashed out of existence between two or three much larger market behemoths. Squelch.

The continental car industry with its much larger domestic market and soon arriving / ramping up multiple 'Giga' can survive short term 10% tariffs selling to the UK but the other way around the UK selling to EU I suspect not.
