Really, I just give up. You appear from the above to be borderline functionally illiterate (at least judging by your apparent inability to understand English, but if you are just pretending, then yay you), and life is too short to spell everything out for you in crayon. I am off out to flirt with some Germans, as at least they can understand English. Breadvan72 said:

It leaves a sour taste in the mouth reading it.
That probably relates to some innate prejudice of yours, but I can't say for sure. The fact that you have pointed it out as some sort of negative shows you have a prejudice towards English people, why the chip?
Is it an issue you have that many people are proud of this country and perhaps not just for the curry.

far better to sit back with a good cigar and a fine single malt and watch it unravel over the next 5 years

The joy of my job, Murph, is that I am allowed to say pretty much anything. I get to be mean to people for money. It's ace.
The Germans are late. Bloody efficient Teutonic blondes, eh?
But Eddie is here now, so I can punch out and let him do the next shift.

Remoaner tag team is a little unfair with don4l gone. Where's the competition?

You've never heard the expression 'Little Englander' as a negative description for a type of person?
To save you looking it up and to put your fears at rest, it has nothing to do with "prejudice towards English people".

Think of me as Clarence Odbody to your hopeless George Bailey. I'm here to stop you ruining everything.You should work for the UN with motivations like that and I'm sure the world will be grateful if you succeed in your aims. But ruin everything I will I tell you. Bruhaaaahaahaaaaaaa.
(Wouldn't Jacob Marley/Scrooge have been a better choice of pairing?)

We will then need politicians bright enough to acknowledge the problems and to do something about it.
...
- on current views I do not believe the additional EU layer of bureaucrats and politicos adds any semblance of "quality" or "intelligence" to the mix. So why bother having them there?
- we can keep voting ours out directly until they get the message (though the problem is always the choice we're given - perhaps politicians need to be paid more than even Belsize Park based legal eagles and we might attract a better calibre? At least the speeches in the HoC would be more fun).

n oft-outvoted 1/28 muted voice doesn't offer much presence, the EU grabs all available attention in an effort to maintain two things: confidence in the dysfunctional supranational project, and the egos of its main players. Member states are tolerated when useful to the project, either as net contributors or making up the numbers to boost 'size matters' creds, at other times the EU matters more than anything and wins at any cost - ask the Greeks.
I think this sums up so much about so many in team leave. An irrational soufflé with no research and no evidence to support it. Finished off with a little “up your Delors” and a Greek salad.Roboraver said:
How is may gonna deal with bombardier she can't upset dup or Trump ? is this the "good" type of trade deals that we will get in the future with the USA and others ?
It is a salutary warning that aviation is unlikely to form part of any free trade deal with the US; there was strong lobbying from the US aviation industry to keep it out of the TTIP, so there is no reason to think that viewpoint would change with a UK-US free trade agreement.As mentioned several times before, these forums, particularly those on the subject of Brexit represent little more than some amusing light entertainment, with some electronic willy waving thrown in to spice the topics up. If anyone on either side of the remain-leave argument seriously believe that they are going to turn a leaver into a remainer or vice versa, they need only consider whether or not they themselves are going to change their position on the strength of what someone from the `other' side says.
This is not to say people shouldn't indulge themselves in some willy waving, it can be quite a lot of fun after all, but if they think it represents any more than a bit of amusement for them, when things are quiet, they perhaps need to go and seek psychiatric help.
Hours, days, months and possibly over a year of postings, on Brexit and I doubt that more than a handful of people, if that, have changed the view they started off with from either side of the leave-remain question.
Almost certainly the people actually dealing with Brexit have never used the Brexit topics on NP&E to determine how they will carry out the Brexit process, so really it is just a lot of hot air, or should that be hot keyboards

I think you are probably correct. However I have found some of the 'discussions' educational even if the misleading and erroneous crap has to be stripped out first.This is not to say people shouldn't indulge themselves in some willy waving, it can be quite a lot of fun after all, but if they think it represents any more than a bit of amusement for them, when things are quiet, they perhaps need to go and seek psychiatric help.

Of late, however, the thread has moved away from economic consequences to more esoteric consequences which have less evidence to justify with posts containing claims that UK might lose something that is impossible to quantify or similar - feelings just based in nostalgia and fear maybe. This might be true, only time will tell but these claims have bugger all to do with economic consequences!
