Cost of Brexit: The impact on business and the economy so far

[smudger]

Who the hell do you think you are that I should lower myself to answer your questions, you're a nobody, a low life of the highest order, get real and learn your place. Scum you are. Crawl back into your sewer and give the world a break.

Yes, I finally know who you are, sadly for you. Slink away low life. Stop pretending to be some portent of Brexit predictions, you wish! Fool of the highest order, as always. Ever the bridesmaid eh? Poor you, silly fool!!

Those comments were out of order.

As were ohsusanna's "Your average Brexit voter has been shown to be less intelligent"

By the way if I were to google as suggested, what input should I use to search?

Not such a bad thing IMHO. Ohsusanna has done nothing but make derogatory remarks about those who voted out. I voted to leave his/her beloved European "Union", and consider myself to be intelligent enough to recognize that the EU is not the EEC which is what I voted to join.
Once again this person has harped on and on about what a poisonous chalice we have voted for, with not one ounce of concrete evidence that the UK will become the third world backwater country he/she keeps banging on about.
Negotiations have barely begun and all you who voted remain who post on this and other forums keep banging on about doom and gloom, with all your "evidence" coming form glorified journalists and "experts", and you just love to shoot down, if possible, anything that those who voted leave state.
The European Union in my opinion is run by an unelected bunch of political failures known collectively as the Commissioners, and these political failures have absolutely no idea on the thoughts of the electorate of Europe.
I don't suppose for a minute that there will be success for Le Pen in France, but even if there is not, the Commissioners will take no notice of the fact that the French are fed up with the way the EU is going.
I am so glad that we are leaving.

HIC posted

....... see the damage now being inflicted on the UK economy.

I was under the impression that the UK economy was now booming, more so than that of the EU. Perhaps HIC would elucidate.

Where your whole argument falls down Outasite is when you keep going on about unelected EU beaurocrats when that is patently not true. Ive lost count of the number of times I've posted links showing you the election process but you choose to either ignore it or not believe it.

We can but hope! However poor Lloyd won't have anyone to hero worship!

A simple question for the remainers.

If you are so sure that Brexit will be a disaster for the UK - doom, gloom, collapsing economy, Pound collapses, jobs lost, hyper-inflation due to increased costs of importing goods with tariffs, etc....

...why is the EU so reluctant to let the UK go? Why all the threats and demands for a 'divorce settlement'...?

Why not just wave the UK goodbye in the sure knowledge that we'll be crawling back in a couple of years and begging to re-join, accepting the €uro, Schengen, the European Army, increased integration, a federalised Europe, etc?

Surely that would be a better position than the current one with the UK being in the EU but not really committed to it...?

Unless of course they are worried that the UK might not be a disaster post EU and the threats and punishments are pour encourager les autres...?

Wrong CG, sorry, because someone will copy and paste an OPINION piece from a Remainer stating that.

Jim,
Who elected Kinnock, Junker, or any of them? I certainly do not have any recollection that I voted for Neil Kinnock to become a Commissioner of the EU, as I considered the man to be a typical Labourite Socialist...ie out for all he can get. But I do not remember ever being asked to vote him into that position. So who votes them in?

[Jim B]

If you voted for an MEP then indirectly YOU DID. The heads of state of all member countries propose the Commissioners and the European Parliament votes on it unlike the UK were cabinet ministers are placed in their positions by the PM. Instead of having hissyfits over it why don't you read up on it.

What a wonderful day!
April 23rd. UN English Language Day! Yes. I joke not.
And what a wonderful offering from PaphosLife's own self-declared "wordsmith", non other than our dear Smudger.
Oh - and not forgetting - today is the birthday of the Bard himself, yes - the great William Shakespeare.

Smudger, you have outdone even yourself in your eloquent verses cited above. And on such an anniversary! What rhythm, what poetry. What a wordsmith.

Analysing the degeneration in your writing as the evening progresses into night, I would - for the sake of your own health - seriously consider cutting down considerably on your alcohol intake. I don't know quite how many units you consume in an average evening, but - from a purely medical point of view - I would seriously consider cutting way back. You may have withdrawal symptoms to start with. The hands might start shaking, and so on. But it the long term, it will have benefits. I honestly and sincerely wish you the best of Yorkshire luck ))

As were ohsusanna's "Your average Brexit voter has been shown to be less intelligent"

Varky - many thanks for your question. In answering it, I believe I wrote,

Your average Brexit voter has been shown to be less intelligent... Just do a google search. Hundreds, thousands of references.
Strictly speaking, "a lower level of education".

Now, if you type in -
a lower level of education brexit voters for a google search it will give articles all over... millions of articles. But just looking on the first page..
For example, in The Dairly Telegraph, for the 27 June, it gave me -
The Brexit vote overlapped strongly with the UK's older population. Those aged over 60 were the most ... The higher the level of education, the higher the EU support. According...

I realise that people might not like this - but there it is.

Argument by slur is still argument by slur, regardless of how eloquently it is put.

My experience is that it is employed most often when the assertor has no evidence based assertion to make

Well said Pete G. However some applaud such behaviour and call it wit.

[smudger]

Osusanna, rarely, if ever have I come across such an acerbic tongue as yours and it still gives me no pleasure. How many years is it now ??? Clearly not long enough

[smudger]

Varky, there are an awful lot more of osusanna's posts that are a damn site more out of order, read them carefully.

[Varky]

Just because someone else uses such derogatory language does not mean that you should. Rise above it and you win the argument.

Where your whole argument falls down Outasite is when you keep going on about unelected EU beaurocrats when that is patently not true. Ive lost count of the number of times I've posted links showing you the election process but you choose to either ignore it or not believe it.
Jim

But they are not directly elected, I think that's the point.
