Brexit

White papers get released today. We should have had these a few days ago but that wasn't to be.

I'm guessing ordinary, Joe Blogg's types won't be able to understand it, so I hope there's some quick analysis articles up.

What a strawberry floating Cop out, I don't want to vote for it or defy my beautiful Corbin so I'll be a worthless waster and suddenly develop a cough that prevents me walking through a strawberry floating doorway.

May's Brexit Irish border plan is 'nice words' - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-i ... s-38829372

I shouldn't have posted this cause we don't listen to experts anymore.

Yeah but Corbyn's cock once went 92% inside her and so she had to abstain.

Adobe CC Photography price is changing from £8.57 to £10.10 per month on the 6th of March because of the weak pound apparently.

That really is going to be unenforceable. What a mess!

Due to a situation out of my control I was moved from Essex to where I am now and forced to live in a house I hated. The only people I know around here and like enough to ever think about house sharing with are already married. I can't and will not ever choose to live with random people, because I need my own space. I know if I get forced to it I'm strawberry floated either way, but honestly the pricing of house sharing where I live (which is the only area I can really live due to work) is just as bad as living on my own.

I know I've got myself in this situation, but living on my own has made me the happiest I've been in 4 years. The other day I was just sat down with my cat and I felt like smiling, smiling for no reason at all other than the fact I felt happy where I am. I've spent nearly the past 2 years leading up to this point feeling pretty miserable.

Brexit is a spectacular strawberry float up of an own goal, and some goods are going to cost more (or already are), but I would be extremely surprised if it got to the stage where your rent went up to such a significant degree that you couldn't afford it - unless you're literally running on £0 remaining after rent/bills/commute.

Yeah, this. If anything, Brexit will push down the cost of housing.

Maybe. If inflation ramps up and wages continue to stagnate then even if the rent costs slightly less you could still be in a situation where you can't afford the rent anymore.

True. With so many real problems inherent in Brexit this one seems an overreaction though. It's such a mindset that leads to extreme conservatism as you try to maintain your, and consequently society's, status quo.

Also, Labour can strawberry float off - 'opposition'. Corbyn's strawberry floated the country as much as anyone else in this debacle.

Staydead’s reaction was a little OTT, but if he is forced to move back with his dad and evil stepmother then I can see why he posted so passionately.

It is going to be interesting when the price rises start really hitting the poor Brexit supporters. I doubt they will see it as their own fault, it will always be somebody else’s fault, but the anger is going to be pretty explosive.

Corbyn is an absolute banana split, but for those of us that hate the Tory party and have a “rebel” Labour MP it is going to be a difficult decision in 2020 (if we have to wait that long!). Hopefully Corbyn gets ousted in the next year or so and we can get an effective opposition in place.

I can't believe this is actually happening. It might well be perverse but I can't wait to see these morons who voted for it to suffer. strawberry floating idiots deserve all the misery that's coming to them. :twisted:

I'm in the Reading West constituency, so it annoys me when I look at the brexit vote and see:

BBC wrote:Alok Sharma (Reading West, Con) voted for the bill.

Before the referendum, Alok Sharma wanted the UK to remain in the EU.

Reading as a whole, according to official figures which differentiated by local authority, voted to remain.

Although in fairness, according to this estimate the Reading West vote was narrowly in favour of leave at 53%, and it was Reading East that swung the local authority in favour of remain. That's still a very narrow majority to change a representatives vote on an issue.

Actually, looking at the referendum as a whole, 53% is a massive majority and you are against freedom and democracy if you even dare question it.

Yeah, the people have spoken, after all. If you don't like it then go back to where you came fr....oh, hang on that doesn't work.

At some point all these increases are going to have an impact. I'm noticing and I can afford it because I have a decent buffer zone. What about those that can't afford it? You put £3 extra a week on food, £3 on Sky, £30 on insurance, £40 on gas etc. & before you know it the year has cost you £1000 more than it did 12 months ago. Your Weetabix have become Basics, your flight seats economy, your Sky terrestrial and your living standards have dropped substantially.

And who are people going to blame for that? Because no matter what government you put in charge you can't then reverse it overnight. Even if Brexit is eventually a success that is not going to be immediate. Some people don't seem to be coming to the realisation that it's going to be difficult for a number of years. Maybe an entire decade.

It's too harsh a punishment to send people back to Reading. :dread:

We never really recovered from the credit crunch of 10 years ago. Add in Brexit, the governments plan to turn us into a tax haven and the prospect of a Tory government until at least 2025 and I think even a decade is being optimistic for the average British person. The real poor in society are utterly strawberry floated.

It's a game of chicken at this stage. The government's in Dublin and London both know there has to be some form of border controls introduced but don't want to be the ones to admit that as Unionists/Nationalists will try to make hay by blaming the Irish/British for the economic hardship a border will cause.

Brexit

Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?
