min, you're a mutton. Take that!

Minny, your post brexit rants are pretty boring, and i only pop in here now and again.

Surely there must be another 'lefty', 'i'm much better than you', 'proles know nothing' 'blair is spot on', 'bureaucracy is great', 'kill all old fogies' cause you could move onto isn't there?

Chard, what you fail to understand is that Brexit was as much a battle between BLUE ON BLUE in the conservative party as it was between leave & remain & you call the mackems thick!
The reason the northern Tory voter voted the way he did is because the Nasty Metropolitan Tory party has been defeated. Boris's Tories are recognised even in labour strongholds as entirely different to previous tory administrations which is the reason for their massive majority. Even a lard covered mackem gets it why cant a sophisticated intellectual such as yourself?

Do a bit of gammon spotting.

The Japanese and Korean car leaders made it very clear in 2016 and several times since in meetings with the PM.. if trade is not frictionless the business model of manufacture in the UK for the EU market is no longer viable. Remain repeated this over and over and over again. Only now, having voted to Leave, are people realising the enormous risk they have put on their jobs and potentially the whole economy of towns like Sunderland? It's unbelievable that people had 3.5 years to revise their vote and still voted like turkeys. Unbelievable.

A few years from now Sunderland is going to go the way of the Valleys in South Wales after Thatcher finished with the coal mines. No amount of throwing money at projects ever replaces meaningful employment and industry.

Ireland's EU-loving, anti-British PM tells BBC : UK is "now a small country"If the UK is "small", just how tiny does that make little Ireland??Credit BBCAnd does the Irish PM REALLY want UK consumers to stop buying Irish products?In an interview yesterday with the BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg, the Irish PM Leo Varadkar told her that the UK hasn't "yet come to terms with the fact it's now a small country."On Friday at 11pm GMT, the United Kingdom will no longer be a member of the European Union. The Republic of Ireland will.Brexit Facts4EU.Org brings readers (and the Irish Taoiseach) some basic facts, comparing the United Kingdom and Ireland.

"She thought she was going as a teaching assistant, but the first day she found herself alone in front of 50 kids! Sort of on the job training. No heating and no cooling in the school, and its gets very hot and very cold out there."

Sounds like the UK in the near future the way things are going.

Utricky - my daughter also did a year in Wuhan and returned just a year ago. A bit too close for comfort. She was teaching out there. She thought she was going as a teaching assistant, but the first day she found herself alone in front of 50 kids! Sort of on the job training. No heating and no cooling in the school, and its gets very hot and very cold out there.

Senior Tories are once again talking about Brexit bringing about a 'leaner' Britain. I hope the NE can still remember and enjoy what that meant for them in the Thatcherite '80s.


Guffaw Guffaw!

[minerve 2] 28/1/2020 10:48

We need to educate people about Brexit. Some people can learn academically, some people need to learn by experience. These people are going to learn by experience. I wish I could feel sorry for them, but sadly I don't.


Ho Ho Ho

Nerves in Sunderland as Brexit day approaches

No point in having nerves now; the die is cast; you made your decision in the referendum and backed it up in two general elections.

You’ve had three chances and you’ve chosen to get Brexit done each time. You’ve chosen to ignore the warnings of what will happen to your jobs and livelihoods.

So chin up; stand and take it like a man; this is what maximising sovereignty sometimes involves; economic damage; don’t say you weren’t warned.

Aye up, "Millionaire" Captain Charisma is up and about,time for a nap then.

Catch you guys later.

[minerve 2] 28/1/2020 10:42

I literally heard a northern Brexiter and a new Tory voter say that for generations his family had voted Labour and now he was voting Tory "because he wanted things to change". The radio interviewer kindly did not point out that we've had a Tory government for a decade!


HA HA HA

Min.

Do you seriously believe the average brexiteer gives a toss about Andrew?

[minerve 2] 28/1/2020 10:34

Prince Andrew provided ‘zero co-operation’ in Epstein probe, US says


I wonder why?


Monarchy is just as out dated as the goons who support it.

Let us now see the break up of the UK and the collapse of the monarchy. A great Brexit present for the gammon Brexiters.

[patientcapital] 28/1/2020 10:32

It will simply push us in the direction of America and Asia. No bad thing since their economies are growing whereas stagnation seems to be the EU way these days.

Corona

Just seen a little clip on FB by a lad from Bolton stuck in Wuhan which is currently on lockdown,evidently they're not even allowed to the supermarket for provisions. My daughter did a year over there recently and had to use the health service a couple of times due to food poisoning which cost in the region of £250/ visit for examination and antibiotics. I cant remember why she didn't/ couldn't get medical insurance but do recall having to forward funds prior to treatment. The cost of medical attention will put it beyond the reach of most as average salaries in the most affluent regions is only about 16k.
