Apparently the sh1t in France is really going down but being blocked by pro EU controlled news outlets.

Some proper nasty sh1t going down with the government hiring in heavies to attack anyone not towing the line, as police are refusing to beat up their own citizens.

The EU is awesome and definitely a safe future, said nobody with half a brain.

I've said this before but wasn't it obvious Macron was a stooge? They'd have been better off with that biro lady.

If only someone warned us that this may happen... 🤔

Thebrexitparty.org is now up and people are registering interest.

It’s now an official party. Let’s see if it puts the shits up the remain centred main parties.


It will be interesting to see if it does. It will also be interesting to see if those prepared to vote for a single issue party are divided between Farage and UKIP/YL.

I can see the grey vote going to Farage and the 'I'm not a racist but...' vote going to UKIP/YL on the back of his anti-Islam stance. The votes will effectively cancel each other out leading to the Tories getting back into power without a majority.

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose and all that....

Anybody else here not bothering to watch the news on Brexit until the end of March, because anything said between now and then is meaningless posturing on the part of us and the EU?

Nothing of significance will happen between now and then, and it will all take place with hours to go....

It's not exactly the crash Remainers are eager to gloat over though.

I don't think most Labour and Tory voters will jump ship to a one-issue party because both major parties will push the view that other things matter, not just Brexit.

Those that do however will cancel each other's votes out unless the Brexit-friendly parties agree to not stand against each other, share the vote and enter into a 3-way coalition with the Tories.

Sir, your memory seems to be little less then perfect.

We were promised no pains. "There is no downside to Brexit", remember?
We were promised that if pound ever fell, it was to turbocharge UK manufacturing and exports.
We were promised easy free access to European markets.
We were promised trade deals aplenty all around the world, ready on exit day.

Quite. Also, we were warned that this sort of thing might happen. If people didn't bother to read the government's "referendum leaflet", then that's up to them, and they should not imply "no-one knew". We were very in fact well informed.

If we're still in the EU and vote in the euro-elections, then I expect the Brexit party to generally win wherever it stands, and probably over 50 anti-EU MEPs to be returned.

Re UKIP, I would anticipate that the Brexit party will take virtually all of its remaining voters who are now holding their noses to vote for it due to the absence of another anti-EU party, leaving it with the "rump" members (quip intended) of the BNP/EDL types. It will probably lose a few officers too, of the reasonable type, leaving horrors like Batten to stwe in their own juice.

However, I expect that we will exit the EU in an acceptable manner, and that neither party will survive after that, their function having been performed.

The simplest way to look at it is the oranges scenario. We currently import most of ours from Spain. When we leave, they will be more expensive because a tariff will be imposed and it will take them longer to get to market. This is indisputable.

Now, Israel also grows oranges, and it can be argued that we simply import Israeli oranges instead. Fine, except that the cost of transporting them from Israel will be borne by the consumer. Again this is indisputable.

Either way, our oranges will cost more. This model can be applied to all goods we currently import from the EU. Regardless of the cost of cars etc, if our grocery bills go up by, say, 5%, we will be poorer or we will need wage rises of 5% to compensate. Will an employer simply up our wages by 5% without a corresponding increase in productivity? Will it chuff....

When we become poorer there will be less money in our economy to spend on other goods, leading to a downward spiral.

If we had enough available and accessible land to grow food for our population this could be a good thing because it would stimulate the home market. Trouble is, we haven't. This means we will continue to import food....

This isn't 'project fear' at play Mpg before you suggest that it is....

It's indisputable, apart from the fact it's based on assumptions?

There are still a few interesting things in the printed & online press. TV "news" is even less useful. Both are often misleading.

I am unsure who you aim that comment at, but I cartainly dispute that it is indisputable.

Edit: Aha. It was aimed at green-ink man whose comments I do not see. Don't let me get in the way of your private argument. Apologies.
