BREXIT

[VNA]

Flooky, how we came to have this referendum is of course important.  It was offered with no thought given, whatsoever, to the consequences should the UK as a whole vote to leave the EU.  It was reckless behaviour on the part of the Tory party in order to win an election.

what Scotland and northern Island think is also not a valid reason to not honour the vote

Indeed, and that is how a great many of us feel in Scotland and Northern Ireland.  As you say we don’t count, our view and our future is of no interest to Tory politicians at Westminster.  Democracy is for the English, not the Scots or Irish.

Leaving the EU will be bumpy , but we and they will get over it.

Indeed it will.  Whatever leaving actually means - and indeed if we ever do.  It will not effect those who offered us the referendum, putting party before country in doing so, nor will it effect those negotiating the deal – that if, again, there ever is a deal.  However, if we leave it will be ordinary punters like you and I that pay the price.


Even as things stand the UK is heading for a recession, BREXIT or no BREXIT.  Businesses are spending millions on contingency plans to avoid the chaos of a no deal – money that could be invested in their companies.  Inward investment has ground to a halt and day after day businesses announce job losses as the economic consequences if this whole mess continue to bite.  Retail spending is falling as people loose confidence in our future.

I love bikes which is why I am on this forum so I will leave politics alone now, If I don't reply any more I am not being rude, just wanna read about bikes. Xx

Can’t argue with that Flooky.    :kiss :eek
