QUOTE(Popchartfreak @ Jan 26 2019, 02:17 PM)  oh, and if anyone wants cheering up, how about this Twitter post? "John O'Connell Confirmation today from multiple US sources via our US colleagues that Nigel #Farage upgraded by FBI from 'Person of Interest' in Multiple Data Crimes to 'Actively being Investigated'. Likely to be asked to schedule an interview on his next visit." Now this is what the Government should be doing. Throws the whole result into the air, if he goes down, as centrepiece of the whole movement. No, the government is too busy demonstrating its independence by following the Americans in declaring the winner of the Venezuelan election to be someone who wasn't even a candidate. |

QUOTE(Suedehead2 @ Jan 26 2019, 09:54 AM) No, they wee dismissed as "Project Fear" by the liars in the Leave campaign. Of course, others in the Leave campaign said there were no downsides at all. That was a lie, wasn't it? How do you know that the people who voted Leave because of freedom of movement, only did so because they were 'brainwashed' into it. rather than genuinely believing it to be a mistake? Or they don't believe that the money saved from our contribution would be better spent directed on the UK? QUOTE(Liаm @ Jan 26 2019, 11:38 AM) As Iz said, knowing the country is so stupid to be decisively for it would be awful but I'm often of that mindset. At least if it was a larger loss, it wouldn't be a care of "if only the campaign was managed better" "if only people were more educated". I just feel like those things could easily have swung it, such a near miss just feels a bit worse. Of course any outcome ending in Brexit is bitter enough... Speak for yourself.

What money saved? Nearly all the forecasts suggest that the net effect of leaving will be negative. The UK's net contribution (after allowing for the rebate and grants for various projects) will be more than wiped out by the impact on the economy, including the impact on trade.

Has anyone else received a template email to send to their MP? Just sent mine. It says the people voted out and asking him not to vote to get rid of No Deal and not to vote to revoke or extend A50 but to do the will of the people, honour the referendum and get us out on March 29. If anyone wants the template I'll gladly PM you one to email to your MP. It's time they listened and delivered the referendum result. Am also going to send it to No.10.

That's what I received and have forwarded it to Stephen Timms MP. Just wondered if anyone else has got it as I was wondering why me? Can't see who sent it.

Thankfully my MP is one of those calling for a referendum on the deal.

I know my best friend from primary school is deleting remarks I make on his Facebook timeline. Suppose he'd say it's his Facebook after all. Think I'll unfriend him as we have absoloutely nothing in common at all.  Anyway can post what I like on mine, within the law of course.

If anyone wants the template I'll gladly PM you one to email to your MP. It's time they listened and delivered the referendum result. Am also going to send it to No.10. Thanks, but my local MP is a self-interested rude rich Tory tit and I have no doubt he will vote No Deal given the opportunity. He's certainly given short-shrift to me on a previous letter which I'm thinking of framing. I complained about the stupidity of allowing petrol stations to disappear leaving the remaining ones getting quick-fill-up's by tankers which grinds the country to a halt in the event of a strike, (or perhaps more likely these days, long queues at borders). His response, paraphrased? Sod off, stop whingeing, I don't care, I got petrol OK in my lovely house near Sandbanks so you must be a moaner. All the local garages had sold out, outside the rich areas presumably, during a strike caused by Tory government policies, and if your car had low fuel it wasnt practical to drive about looking for one that wasnt empty (I tried that). Typical Tory Brexiteer in fact, no forward planning and couldnt give a toss about consequences. |

I am very proud to be putting my country of birth FIRST before any tin-pot superstate EU that we should have never joined in the first place. Now I'm off to eat a ruler straight banana which the EU has said I must buy.

Now I'm off to eat a ruler straight banana which the EU has said I must buy. And I’m proud that I put not just what I wanted first, but what was best for our country. You seem to have put only your selfish reasons first since your yet to tell us what we’re going to gain from any of this. |

I'm surprised the prisons aren't full of people convicted of openly flouting this mythical law. |

I was born on a military base while my father was serving in the Air Force. My country of birth is Germany but as a Fetus I contributed more to this country than you ever have or ever will. Why am I having my connection to my country of birth stripped from me? My rights to live and work in my country of birth? Does that not matter to you at all? |

What makes you think you'll have to leave the country? Another scare story. Mrs. May said that no Europeans will have to leave. Am sure you'll be able to stay here. |
