I don't have a problem with that. The problem I have is in answering your questions which you keep repeating but you ignore the answers or nitpick the bits you want. It hardly makes for a measured debate, If this is what is happening in Brussels I am hardly surprised the negotiations have struggled to get off the ground and why a no deal scenario is looming unless the two sides see sense.

But you never do answer my questions do you? Unless you consider "If you don't understand .... by now you never will" or "Look back at previous posts" which don't exist or just general 'whataboutery' an answer.

To be fair Jack l would imagine Foxy is a very busy man and probably hasn't the time or the inclination to trawl through links to support repetitive posts like wot you do

[Jack Staff]

I was not trying to be unfair. We are all busy, but I found that if I don't back up my comments I get accused of being all sorts of things. Apart from specific pieces, I wish i didn't have too.

l will give you some slack on that one Jack and if truth be known, those of us who do tune into this thread would be a little disappointed if your posts, 'albiet bl**dy repetitive' weren't to appear.

l'm sending you a box of tissues just in case it all gets too much for you

I think I understand the reasons
1) Ideology
2) Ideology
4) Immigration
3) Fed a fictions narrative
4) Just wanting to kick the political establishment

Jack, I have repeatedly given you my reasons for wanting to leave the EU, but you seem to think that I should include a financial benefit amongst them. Although I don't think the project fear scenario will occur, I am prepared for some sort of economic slowdown or adjustment to life outside the EU. However I fully expect this to be minor, and well worth it to be free of the EU. Now I know this thinking is totally alien to you, but please accept it in the same way that we accept your blinkered and rosy view of life under Junckers thumb.

Thanks Keith, very kind. But you should keep hold of them, to dry your eyes and to wave goodbye to the Brexity dream. Won't be long now!

[Jack Staff]

That is why people get up in the morning. Something you have obviously forgotten over the last 18 years.

So no financial benefit then. Having spent the whole of your working life trying to get money, you now want to stop others doing the same.

Now I know this thinking is totally alien to you, but please accept it in the same way that we accept your blinkered and rosy view of life under Junckers thumb.

I certainly will accept it in the "same way that we accept your blinkered and rosy view of life under Junckers thumb".

Clearly you thought wrongly. Time to put your Remainer blinkers to one side and go back to post#1. Do not pass Go and do not collect £200.

Money should never be anyones sole motivation for living, which seems to be your view

Life will still continue and anyone who puts in the extra effort will undoubtedly continue to enjoy a great standard of living.

Now I know this thinking is totally alien to you, but please accept it in the same way that we accept your blinkered and rosy view of life under Junckers thumb.

I certainly will accept it in the "same way that we accept your blinkered and rosy view of life under Junckers thumb".

I am not quite sure what impact the last paragraph was trying to convey, it went over my head.

Exactly my point, more whataboutery.
If you don't want to take credit for Brexit, fine.

[Jack Staff]

Operation "Yellowhammer" eh?

It'll be fine they said....

OBF I will put my Remainer blinker to one side if you will put your Leaver blinkers to one side.

[oldbluefox]

No problem Ray. I may get more sense out of you.
You'll not be getting the £200 though!!!

Code name Operation Yellowhammer. How reassuring!

So the Civil Contingencies Office is planning for a no deal Brexit. They deal with stuff like floods , disease and other disasters.

This is not a Project Fear drill, this is reality.

Are you all STILL happy about a no deal Brexit?
