Support for Brexit hardens

I don`t think anyone felt entitled to have an opinion to question Newton`s theory until 200 years later...Enter Einstein and his ridiculous idea that gravity could bend light!!
What division and argument and ridicule that caused amongst the scientific elite at that time..
Enter Eddington!!!
And on it goes..Critical thinkers eh...They were required to change all kinds of positive thinking to assist with true progress!
God bless em!

I find the arguments distasteful and deceitful also..Just for far different reasons than you do.
Anyway,its done now. Britain will leave the E.U...What are remainers going to do with the rest of their lives??
Become negative bore`s forever? Groan.

Thats a ridiculous statement... What does he want to do that offends you so much? Cut taxes and produce American jobs for Americans in America?
Build a wall to secure his countries borders from illegal aliens?
Even Ford say they will expand their operation in the U.S now because of his tax policies for business..
I don`t think I've spoken to a single working yank that has said anything good about Obama care yet...Anyway..That will be gone.
Their stock market is up over a thousand points since he was elected... Don`t you think that a positive indicator of general confidence?

Trump rally could mark biggest postelection stock market rise since Hoover

If the postelection stock market rally continues at its current pace it could be the largest stretching back to the gains scored in the wake of Herbert Hoover’s 1928 election victory.

Major indexes are trading at record levels with the S&P 500 SPX, +0.35% up more than 5% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.32% rising 7.8% since Nov. 8 over optimism that President-elect Trump will usher in a new era of economic boom on the back of higher fiscal spending and pro-growth policies.

Somewhat "tongue in cheek":

Whilst I acknowledge that the earth is most likely round, the flat earth theory is far better for day to day use, otherwise the Australians would have to glue their furniture to the floor to stop it falling off onto the ceiling.

Government spending spree!!! What do you think Obama did??
US debt, 10 Trillion USD added since his inauguration!!!
Who rakes in the interest?? Oh yeah..The banks!!
Wonderful.

U.S Federal T-bonds are issued by the U.S central bank..
The U.S central bank along with 54 other world central banks own collectively BIS or Bank of International Settlements..
In reality BIS owns the central banks and controls 320 Trillion USD and WELL over 120 tons of Gold.
They own the U.S FED and they control world debt.

Would those who did not vote for Brexit last June please bear in mind that 17,410,742 people did vote that way and that's more than voted for any political party or proposition at any election or referendum in British political history - including those who voted "Yes" to Britain's continuing membership of the Common Market in 1975 (albeit by a small margin). Behaving as if you're somehow intellectually or morally superior coupled with patronising remarks aimed at interlocutors whose views differ from yours and calling them a range of insulting names such as "blind", "thick", "racist", "uneducated" and "Fascist" is not only unkind and unnecessary, it is also untrue - certainly where fellow forum members are concerned.

Let's please respect each other's opinions and views, even if we don't share them.

Agreed ... thicko

I agree with you wholeheartedly, I've personally got used to the abuse that that the remoaners spew up on the forum, first it was old Johnny boy followed by Andrew and now for some reason oss has jumped on the bandwagon.

The people who become abusive are the ones who have lost the argument.

Wow..Thanks for that post OSS..I missed it somehow..

Our original plan was to sell up in 2007 before our final move..
I knew something was wrong with the silly increases with property prices and the continuation of zero % 1 year interest cards which we had been taking advantage of for the 5 years previous..At one point we had 5 cards and a very high credit limit etc...There were guys I knew with 10 of them that had maxed them all out and paid their mortgages a year at a time at ZERO % after saving their usual mortgage payments and making interest for a year..Paid off the cards at the last second before the 12 months were up..(after 12 months..40% interest on total loan) Then they put them through the shredder.
Anyway..I knew something was wrong and I began reading financial papers with at the time extreme alternative views..
After further study,even the estate agent thought I was crazy to suggest that the property and financial market were about to experience huge problems.
The alternative financial sheets convinced me to sell up a year early...Looking back,I am so glad I followed their advise..
Whew...That was a close one!
The rest as they say is history!!

In common with 17.3 million others, I voted "Yes" in 1975 but got buyer's remorse during the early Thatcher years when it became apparent just how much Brussels would interfere with our daily lives and its aim of homogenising Europe and removing national identities to create a superstate. Ever since then I've not heard or read anything positive about the EU that would persuade me to support our membership. I have asked here several times for EU supporting members to explain the advantages of membership but they seem unwilling or unable to do so - could it be that they recognise that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, or maybe they can't defend the indefensible; who knows.

I was brought-up and lived most of my life in small farming communities. If you think farmers' support can be bought with a few Brussels bribes, think again. That may have been so twenty or so years ago but our farmers are, by and large, sick and tired of Brussels' micro-management of their businesses. Farmers are issued with page after page of (daft) regulations defining (for example) what constitutes a "puddle" and what constitutes a "lake", minutely defines hedges - in terms of thickness, height, length, distance between and material - and the number and siting of 6 feet by 4 feet billboards advertising the EU that must be placed on farmland, paid for and maintained by the landowner. In order to receive any subsidy whatsoever, arable farmers are required to grow and market a minimum of three crops. The fact that Parisians can get EU farming subsidies for their out-of-town allotment-sized plots without jumping through the same bureaucratic hoops confronting British farmers illustrates just how rotten the CAP is; the EU rewards inefficiency and 19th century practices. According to my farming friends, food prices will drop as a result of Brexit as the "set aside" policy is reversed and farmers become free to grow crops that are actually demanded by consumers rather than those that they get paid for but end-up in Intervention Stores. It will also mean an end to the wholesale dumping of British produced milk down the country's drains and replaced by imports from France, Germany and Holland.

And Brexit means our coastal waters can, once again, be fished by British boats owned by British families and companies, landing their catches in British ports and sold to British consumers. That should be good news for many communities around our shores and in particular for the Scots and those in the north-east and south-west. Not only will this boost employment in the fishing industry but also a myriad of support industries will benefit.

The words "racist", "uneducated" and "Fascist" have all been posted by other Remain supporters in Brexit topics; do check if you don't believe me.

Please don't try to allude that I was responsible for JohnAsh's banning, not when there was a PM conversation between us in 2015 which paints a somewhat different picture.

Ironically it is a direct consequence of our membership of the EU - and in particular, the Masstricht Treaty and the Single Market - that makes it very difficult indeed for Brits to bring their non-EU spouses into the country. Who's actually the racist here, us or the EU? I and others have all stated many times our support for controlled immigration.

I agree that "remoaner" is a pejorative term and perhaps it should not be deployed so often but it is less offensive than "remaniac" or being labelled "deaf", "blind", "thick", "populist" or any of the other insults hurled at those who voted to leave.

What is fascinating is that Leave supporters' posts are upbeat, positive and, by and large, non-confrontational whilst those of our opponents are mostly not.

Yeah, the polls are always right aren't they?

Second paragraph is EXCELLENT news for this "re-moaner". Firstly, it indicates that you have thrown in the towel, and that the Supreme Court will uphold our marvellous constitution and insist that Parliament has its say. Secondly, it indicates that our mature form of Government acknowledges the result of the Brexit vote, but that it won't be run roughshod by Theresa May and her donors. Although, she did help to compensate a few of those donors make a few bob by talking the pound down during trade close on Sunday in readiness for them to trade on Monday.

Government may not be transparent here, but the PM is as clear as a pane of glass.

The NHS is struggling to cope because funding has reduced in real-terms. Maybe the Government are priming it so that it can be sold to the Private sector.

Immigration brings in more in tax revenue than it costs in benefits - but I suspect you already new that.

BTW, nice little swerve on the line

"We need to put an end to uncontrolled immigration and free up the beds in the NHS for British people and their families, I had to add families before someone said "what about your wife."" - basically as long as the rules benefit you then sod everyone else.
