Brexit is destroying Britain

[caveman]

Thanks.
If post brexit a UK parliament voted to rejoin the single market I presume you would be the first to "get behind it"?

Ain't gonna happen pal.
Dip your head in a bucket of ice and see reality.

The issue with not being able to use a local swimming pool could quite simply be a lack of ability to accept the rules and regulations of another country.
We have to prove we are local to use, or get a discount for using, local services, I don’t see it as a problem and willing accept it.
I’m quite intrigued about your Australian experience, I understand it’s not an easy place to farm (depending where in Australia you were) why did you leave?

As I have previously posted I disagree with most of what you have to say about Brexit and the UK, but you post responsibly on most occasions so am quite happy to deal with you. I particularly liked the way you tried to educate wanton dwarf about non dom status.

I completely disagree with your opening paragraph. I was told by the department responsible (I forget the name) that Portugal did not require other EU citizens to obtain a Residence Permit whereas those from a third country did. The imposition of such a regulation is contrary to the idea of FoM. It applies to all non Portuguese.

I never claimed I was discriminated against. I had no desire to use the swimming pool. As a measure of support for his posts, I merely posted to WD that such rules existed in Portugal. I did this because some posters had claimed it was not so in the EU. As usual of course some anti-Brit has to join in and bring up all sorts of accusations and unrelated matters. Why do they do it apart from the overriding desire to rubbish the UK and the majority who decided to leave the EU? They have left so it should be the end of their involvement. They must be very bitter people who are shortening their own lives with such attitudes. Life was never meant to be easy (Malcolm Fraser) just get on with what the world throws at you. Accept what happened as the rest of us did in 1975.

Anyway, as far as Australia is concerned I have posted at 6th paragraph in #4778 my lead up to the event that led to our position when we decided to move to Australia – final paragraph #4797.

Australia most definitely is not an easy place to farm. Ask @Farmer Roy who is not far from where we were. Droughts (real droughts), rabbits, mice plagues, locust plagues, floods – have you ever seen a river that was more than 50 miles wide?

After being married about 10 years we found we were to become parents. That completely changed any thoughts of the future. It was 30 miles to the school he would have to start at, being picked up by the school bus 4 miles from home. Like a neighbour, we decided that was unreasonable so prepared the place for sale and I looked for employment in a town. Easy to get a start in local government with my previous experience and within 6 months I was heading the finance department. I began a distance learning degree majoring in Law and Accountancy – the statutory qualification for Chief Executive posts. I moved a couple of times and ended up in Bombala in the south of NSW. By this time it was obvious the boy was smarter than your average fence post so we decided he needed to be educated elsewhere than Australia where it is necessary to be good at some sport to succeed.

That is when I committed the heinous sin for an anti EU person and moved into it. Hypocrisy of the highest order. How could I do such a thing?

We moved back to our native Northumberland, and then soon afterwards to Inverness. I found employment as Deputy Director of Finance to the main hospital and we bought a few acres on the Black Isle which for obvious reasons we called Hazza Farm and built a house.

Our decision to have him educated in Scotland (local authority school) proved correct. By the time he was 22 he had an Honours Masters from St Andrews in Astrophysics, another Masters in Radio Astronomy from Manchester and had begun his PhD at Keele.

I didn't say it would happen soon, though it is the UKs only real option. I asked if you would support it.

You say there's no sign of a police investigation and then when it's pointed out her home was raided by the National Crime Agency you ignore it and try and justify your error by saying she was allowed to go on holiday

The house was searched for company documents. Cliff Richard style.
No arrests.
They have several houses.
I'll believe she and her husband are being investigated when they're arrested and questioned.
Which will be rather difficult since they don't live in the UK.

I don't think Cliff Richard was arrested, allegations were made and investigated but no evidence was found. Should be the same process with Mr and Mrs Mone.

But what's it got to do with Brexit?

Any bad thing that happens in the world anywhere, is because of brexit.

You should have realised this by now, goodness knows, we're told it often enough so it must be true!

It's just a continuation of the remain campaign in 2016. Make a lot of inaccurate forecasts that turn out not to be true to try and frighten people

Some quotes from Jean-Claude Juncker president of the EU Commission 2014 to 2019

On Greece's economic meltdown in 2011
"When it becomes serious, you have to lie.
On EU monetary policy
"I'm ready to be insulted as being insufficiently democratic, but I want to be serious ... I am for secret, dark debates"
On British calls for a referendum over Lisbon Treaty
“Of course there will be transfers of sovereignty. But would I be intelligent to draw the attention of public opinion to this fact?,”
On French referendum over EU constitution
“If it's a Yes, we will say 'on we go', and if it's a No we will say 'we continue’,”
On the introduction of the euro
"We decide on something, leave it lying around, and wait and see what happens. If no one kicks up a fuss, because most people don't understand what has been decided, we continue step by step until there is no turning back."
On eurozone economic policy and democracy
“We all know what to do, we just don't know how to get re-elected after we've done it”


You can see where a disregard for the truth comes from

A Gish gallop of lies historical misrepresentations and baseless assertions with an extra helping of a bizarre multicultural reference at the end.
Definitely a Telegraph article.
A computer could write better.
He's going to be in trouble when his boss realises.

 

[its yourself]

For the record. My comment above applies to this as well. Mostly.

Nobody wants to confront the truth: Britain is becoming a poor country

It is good that Rishi Sunak wishes to reverse our decline but his solutions so far are dangerously limited
