Millsy Turkey may join. Behave, no one wants that apart from them 😂

benson

alistair yes. I agree. Ours is worse. That’s my point

Millsy

I’m not sure anyone is saying Brexit is the only reason we’re in the shit, but it’s certainly making our version of shit a lot worse.

alistair

Millsy the sad thing is that we had the best of both worlds before (full access to the single market and customs union without monetary union)

hugopal

benson our economy used to be 90% of Germany. Now it’s 70%. So we’ve underperformed vs Europe. Which is, of course, nothing to do with Brexit.

Yeah, nothing whatsoever to do with Brexit! It’s clearly because I moved to Germany just before Brexit, thus providing a big loss to the UK and a massive boost to the German economy.

benson

hugopal Or winning as you’d like to call it.

alistair

benson I dare say you’re right. What’s your source?

Some data

As Mark Carney pointed out a few days ago, in 2016 the British economy was 90% the size of Germany’s, but now it is less than 70%. Now that tax cuts and doubling down on inequality have bombed as a solution, there is fresh logic in forging better post-Brexit economic links with the EU.

Millsy

I was raging when we voted for brexit and I refuse to accept ‘the will of the people’ arguments to this day. Fuck everyone who voted for it, fuck everyone who convinced them to, and especially fuck anyone who continues to peddle this brain-dead shot in our economic foot as anything other than a disaster. I saw it coming and have no idea why other people didn’t. Cunts.

Millsy I think a lot of us did Millsy. But were accused of “talking Britain down”.

Millsy

bosstrabs I had you as a leaver due to your hatred of Muslims, Dave. Good to have you on board brother.

bosstrabs

Millsy The Poles and Bulgarians absolutely despise Muslims and for that reason I was all in for Remain.

alistair

The irony of “we’ll be able to taking back control” of our borders and immigration being at record levels.

alistair Just wait until climate change ramps up over the next couple of years, half the planet will be uninhabitable and we’ll be legally machine gunning them in the channel.

Had no idea Millsy and Dave were reMOANERS.
