I don't think anybody would want a no deal, or be particularly optimistic about it. However.Lancasterclaret wrote:At the moment Ringo, we are heading for a "No Deal"
Again, please tell me the optimism for the UK in that.
I remember Yanis Varufakis saying he knew the EU would not want to be seen as agreeing to a mutually beneficial trade deal. In order to keep The EU Project together.
In 2016 Barnier said ," if the deal I negotiate is so bad , the UK wants to stay in the EU. I have done my job"
If the EU is going to be as intransigent about the back stop as it has been so far. Then we should leave on 29th of March on WTO terms.
Just out of interest. Are you in regular contact with your MEP or the EU itself, badgering them to make sure they negotiate a deal, and not just criticising our side?

Why would you commit to making these models in an non-EU country in a highly competitive market?
You can dress this up as much as you like, but if a Japanese firm has two European plants, and one of them is in the UK and the other is in the EU, then the investment will only to be going to one place.
Unless, of course, your "natural conclusion" is based on certain assumptions. One being that you judge things as they are right now rather than how things could be.
A post brexit government could create an attractive business environment using favourable business rates, grants for setting up new plants and a competitive corporate tax regime.
Optimistic about Britain's future outside the EU?
Why do things have to remain static. Why can't they change going forward?

To Remainers, the great god Free Trade is everything. They would want access to the EU market, worth a combined €560 billion in both directions, and will pay literally any price. They think a fair deal is that they give us tariff-free access to the €560 million market in both directions, and we give then tariff-free access to the €560 billion market in both directions; but to "even up" the deal, we also have to pay €39 billion cash down, €10 billion+ per year, and allow them to set all the rules including our own domestic ones, and to decide when we can stop paying - only when they have found something they like better. Which is a nonsense deal, and how anyone can think that is better than just leaving is a bit beyond me. I thought capitalism was the aim of the Tory party with the right wing being more strongly in favour, but it's the Remainers who are the out-and-out capitalists here- because apart from a bit of mistrust of thew UK governemt's fairness in sharing out the funds the way the EU does it, the only arguments for the EU are that Big Business likes it better.
Don't be so slavish about Big Business. They aren't gods.

You really do need to read up on the Withdrawal Agreement if you're going to try and argue about it. The £10 billion a year is part of the £39 billion, not in addition to.

Evidence is the available body of facts or information indicating whether a proposition is true or valid
Opinion is a view formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.
Conjecture is an opinion formed on the basis of incomplete information.
As you are often asked - what evidence do you have that Brexit is a positive move for the U.K.?

I'm intrigued at what level of "well, this isn't going great" will it take to you lot go "Crikey, might have made a mistake here"

What truly sways me to remain though is the revisionist nonsense I’ve had to endure. “Dunkirk spirit”, “We’ve survived worse” and “Yes and we should also bring back national service” from certain brexiteers is probably the worst form of argument I’ve ever heard.

Don't be so slavish about Big Business. They aren't gods.
Brexit is a zombie, and the country (or is it just me?) is waiting until the corpse is pushed into the coffin, and the lid nailed shut. Your argument above - while I appreciate it's supposed to be about how a 'no deal' brexit is better than May's deal - works very well for remaining in the EU. We will never get a better deal than the one we already have, and although we can debate until the end of time how bad things will get if we leave without a deal, there is no denying that things will be worse than they are now. As for your assertion that the EU is nasty and unpleasant - what facts do you have to back this up? When we consider the seventy-three EU laws that the UK voted against, and which were passed anyway, I only see us as being nasty and unpleasant. Or cheap and mean.
As a remainer, I find it odd that you'd also characterize me as a 'capitalist' - when I've pointed out many times on here that the EU is a buttress against unbridled capitalism, in a world of big multinationals playing country off against country to lower taxes, regulations, and workers rights. More and more we're seeing that "taking back control" actually means begging other countries to do free trade deals with us.
Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
I can’t see Brexit lasting in truth.
For varying reasons, good or bad, I can see us rejoining the EU not very long after we leave.

I used to think the same and spent a while trying to explain the concept of "evidence" to Ringo a while back.Burnley Ace wrote:I know but like you do with a dog that keeps shitting in the corner you hope that patience and perseverance might teach them that it’s wrong!!

Take my advice - give it up as a lost cause.

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
I only have an opinion that it will be positive.Burnley Ace wrote:It’s lke a remedial English lesson!!!
Evidence is the available body of facts or information indicating whether a proposition is true or valid
Opinion is a view formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.
Conjecture is an opinion formed on the basis of incomplete information.
As you are often asked - what evidence do you have that Brexit is a positive move for the U.K.?
What evidence do you have that Brexit is a negative move for the U.K?

I have no opinion on your grey bland reply nor do I feel obliged to answer your grey bland question.Devils_Advocate wrote:You didn't and as a result I had no opinion either way for your answer as it was just a grey bland comment.
Anyhow to try and clarify what you are saying is you have no problem with Remainers proclaiming their opinion is right and telling other people their opinions are wrong but essentially noones opinion is worth more than anyone else's as only time will tell either way.
Is that a fair summary of your stance on this?

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
careful Ringo, they'll have you wishing you'd voted to remain soon, their argument is so strong. i'm honestly wavering now. maybe i'll vote remain if we get another chance. i bet they've persuaded millions of leavers to change their minds with their integrity, reasoned debate and facts.

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
Lets not get carried away!
We are never going to get through to the likes of Ringo or yourself, but most people in this country still deal in reality. Thats why Brexit support is dropping.
Next week, when its found out that we voted for something that isn't possible in the H of C, then we'll see where the politicians turn next.

Its usually something to do with cycling or some form of bizarre living art installation that requires hundreds of them to lie in a heap on the ground. All points to very odd individuals ultimately.
That class of people?........is it the fact that she's highly educated? That you assume she's from a certain class?
The people pushing Brexit are the ones from the upper classes.......they have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Think Reece-Mogg etc.
They want to go back to the 'good old days' when the Plebs knew their place & were grateful for a few scraps from their abundant table!
Brexit will be a disaster for the average Joe!

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
Ah, so that's what all the Brexit voters were banging on about when they kept saying how important it was to take control of our borders, the ability to let anything through.Lancasterclaret wrote:https://twitter.com/steve_hawkes/status ... 9482261504
Taking back control
Every single dodgy ****** in the world will be reading this and thinking "Wow, how can I take advantage of this"
Obviously the next step will be that other countries complain that we are giving the EU most favoured nation status and we'll have the control to wave everything through our borders without checks.
Result.
