G - is that your contribution for the upticks of the day?

Try harder!

[pierre oreilly] 18/10/2019 14:09

Good job it's not important to you alp, you'd be topping yourself now if it were.

Perhaps today we have stumbled across what remoaner extremists are really all about - they don't think we are fit to govern ourselves.

That view was certainly influential in the 70s when we had the first referendum. As the late Auberon Waugh put it, better be governed by a bunch of Belgian ticket collectors than by home-grown revolutionary Marxists.

[pierre oreilly] 18/10/2019 14:06

Yeah yeah, rude and ignorant 'Brextremists' - where implementing a democratic vote is extremist and ignoring a democratic vote is uber intelligent.

When you call others rude and ignorant Ace, are you looking in the mirror?

[alphorn] 18/10/2019 14:05

G - is that what is important to you? Lol

[pierre oreilly] 18/10/2019 14:03

It's really weird. Every time i see a post which appears to me to be intelligent, logical and well thought out with a degree of logic based on what's gone before, at least one remoaner always pops up to say it's moronic, or naive.

I guess it's just a very tense, depressing, and incoherent time for them, probably totally confusing and irritating that we have the nerve to not do as they say and abandon brexit.

I see the rude and ignorant Brextremists here have now decided I am right: Boris' Withdrawal Agreement is the equal of May's despite all the applause of yesterday

An apology from a few here would put things right but there ain't no chance of that …. is there Crossing_the_Rubicon?

A lot can be done with informal trade deals, which can be done on the fly if there is a will.

I suspect that is what will happen with former direct trading partners such as Australia, New Zealand etc.

[grahamite2] 18/10/2019 13:57

More upvotes than anything you've posted today Alphorn!

[alphorn] 18/10/2019 13:53

G - that is two bizarre posts from you today. You do usually better than that and I hope all is well?

[alphorn] 18/10/2019 13:51

Serious reply - that will amount to continued uncertainty until the major trade deals are negotiated AND approved by both parties. Unlikely to be in the immediate years following an exit. Still much to run before the clarity is there to build any new capital projects. (Don't misunderstand me - certainty needs to return after this 3+ year period).

[pierre oreilly] 18/10/2019 13:46

Well I've read my post again Alp, and i simply can't see how you can possibly think it's naive or rude or stupid.

But obviously i expect your illogical and rude reply is simply bacause you are naive and stupid.

"You remoaners seem to think the uk is absolutely unable to think and act in a rational and fair manner".

Naïve, rude and stupid. Well done.

It's none of those things. It is a statement of fact and goes back at least to the time Euromaniacs were desperate to get us in to the ERM because we lacked the discipline to control our own monetary policy. Everything Minerve has posted today is based on a similar premise, likewise LADESIDE'S bizarre notion that we'll soon be sending little boys up chimneys.

[pierre oreilly] 18/10/2019 13:42

Alp, soz mate, i aimed my comments at people of average intelligence and above.

What was implied was that once the certainty of brexit is accomplished, the removal of uncertainty will mean trade deals, and all deals and procedures, will be much easier and quicker, if not signed before.

[alphorn] 18/10/2019 13:41

Like it! ;))

[maxk] 18/10/2019 13:41

haha, check the date stamp Alp.

[pierre oreilly] 18/10/2019 13:39

I have an idea to stop er wasting all our police resources, with all the costs and heartache that causes.

At the next er demo, just ensure there are no police within a 3 mile radius. I'm sure the general public are better able to solve the er problem than the police. Free and effective, with the police freed up to chase after criminals.

[alphorn] 18/10/2019 13:39

Max - is this one a bit more up to date? ;)

Brexit deal latest news: Two Government ministers on 'resignation watch' over Boris Johnson's deal

Christopher Hope, chief political correspondent Amy Jones, political correspondent
18 OCTOBER 2019 • 1:27PM


Two Government ministers are on "resignation watch" over Boris Johnson's deal in what would be a potentially fatal blow to get MPs to back his draft exit treaty.

One of the ministers who might resign was described as a "senior Cabinet minister" by a Eurosceptic source.

The source said: "A senior Cabinet minister is on 'resignation...
