Thread: Brexit - It's Still On!

The maybot appears to have backed down on another of her red lines; the ECJ will continue to arbitrate on disputes even after brexit. So much for "taking back control"...

...but you all knew that phrase was just BS anyway, didn't you.

Maybot loves it deep in the arse, it makes her scream for more

Peace in our time.

Indeed, and after three years of propaganda and vacuous rhetoric, we are now approaching the endgame when the the dreadful monochrome of awful reality finally bleaches out those rose-tinted fantasises of sun dappled Brexit uplands and even the dimmest moron is now, finally, beginning to understand there is nothing to be gained at all from the madness. The Tories are beginning to panic and have pressed the button already on the "Blame the EU for everything " campaign to delude the same fucking morons who believed the sunny uplands propaganda. But it won't matter because for every Tory skin bag there will be a hundred others queueing up to scream from the roof tops, " We told you fucking so, you dumbo mofo twats".

For the xenophobic racists and the prejudiced bigots, there will always be foreigners and the Welsh. The poor white English trash that infests the country will always be trash and Brexit will fail to transform them into anything other than what they have always been - stupid, ignorant and useless except as fodder.

For the deluded fuckwits who credulously fell for the daftest mantra of all, that Brexit meant taking back control, they will still be governed by the same vested interests, and the banks, who will be even more protected now than before with the exclusion of the ECJ, the dismantling of workers' rights and the maintenance of off-shore tax havens for the corporate carpetbaggers and their shill politicians.

And for the remaining masses, they will all be that much poorer, that much more isolated and that much more diminished. The polarisation between the haves and the haves-not will increase, the indebted will sink deeper into the futility of their endless insolvency, the holes in the welfare net will widen further as public expenditure lessens and the NHS's incipient privatisation will increase a-pace as the Tory shills form Trojan Horse companies for Uncle Sam's medical insurance industry.

But you know what, it doesn't matter a single flying fuck, the British are quite simply too fucking gormless and insulated within their parochial lives to appreciate anything very much other than sucking on the teat of delusion and populist pap.

If ever a country deserves to be flushed down the shitter it has to be Britain.

But for me the real kicker will be when the Tories are eventually booted out and the socialists will return.

Now that'll be something to watch.

Which political group is the socialists again?

if the UK go full Socialism after Brexit, then indeed, Brexit would become a resounding success

Your mind seems dedicated to spending other people’s money, that does not exist. Plus you are shit at trolling.

Do you remember the message left by the last Labour Chancellor when they got kicked out?

Now it’s just the electorate that has unprecedented levels of debt.

Putting things into perspective for the morons here, the current average monthly rent, council tax and utilities disbursements for the average occupier now amount to around £1,100. The average net monthly wage after tax, stakeholder pension contribution and NI is, say, around £1,800, leaving a disposable income of £700 to pay for food, transport, insurances, clothing, daily subsistence, leisure, credit card interest payments, loans and communication costs.

Unless you have a working partner with no children, you is fucked.

BTW...chas...it was Liam Byrne, Chief Secretary to the Treasury who left that note, not the Chancellor.

Can someone let the gent know that the world and it’s population are not as black and white as he seems to think. The sentient among us enjoy a colourful range of ideas and opinions.
From my forlorn hope that Corbyn might provide the credible opposition that the government so richly deserves, to supporting the re-nationalization of social housing and public transport, I am just one of many that are not as blinkered as he appears to be.

Thanks Cy, for pointing out that Darling never had a sense of humour.

Chass, what they are trying to say is that you know fuck all and you are easily mislead by silly politicians rhetoric

House prices falling by a third, interest rates soaring by more than 4% and the economy going into recession – it’s the prediction from the Bank of England on what will happen in the event of a no deal Brexit. BOE boss Mark Carney made the dire warning today that there is an ‘uncomfortably high’ risk that Britain will leave the European Union without a deal and it could have devastating consequences. After his comments, the pound sterling plunged to an 11-day low against the dollar.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Mr Carney said that the event of no deal was ‘highly undesirable’ and that Britain and the EU should do everything possible to avoid it. ‘I think the possibility of a no deal is uncomfortably high at this moment,’ he said.

‘Our job is to look at what could go wrong and what we could do to make sure that the bank is in a robust position so it lessens the impact of a no deal Brexit. ‘We have made sure that banks have the capital, the liquidity that they need and we have the contingency plans in place if there were to be a no deal Brexit.’

The Bank of England governer says the financial system and banks will be ready for that ‘undesirable’ scenario, which could include:

Commercial and residential property prices going down by more than a third

• interest rates soaring
• unemployment increasing to 9%
• the economy contracting by 4%

Mr Carney did add that the UK could ‘withstand’ a no deal scenario and said: ‘We have prepared the financial institutions and banks for a very difficult situation. ‘We should have a transition, it’s in every industry’s interest. ‘We’ll take the two years. We’ll make it enough.’ The BOE governor also said people should still be able to afford their mortgages because of checks put in place.

‘More than half of mortgages in this country are fixed rate mortgages,’ he said. ‘When you take out a mortgage, you have to pass an affordability test, and you have to be able to pay a mortgage at 7%. ‘It’s something we put in place so that if costs were to go up, people would be able to meet those mortgages.’

I'm shaking in me boots. Under Jim Callaghan inflation rose to nearly 27%. Did you bitch as much then?

What pathetic troll you are.

Well, no, because we all got 20-30% pay increases, that's why we had inflation you silly moo. FFS, in those days the first two years of buying a house were crippling and then after two more the inflation rate turned the mortgage into something more manageable. Happy days but if you had no work then you were dead. My last 17% pay rise was under Maggie but after we got zero.

We're heading back to those days but the inflation rate won't be so bad, however the lack of meaningful work will be just as deleterious.

The next recession will of course be known as the Brexit crash and will be the longest since the 1920s.

If it ends up with bankers jumping off buildings, maybe that's not a bad thing.

So...two years on, Brexit is still all show and no pony.

Somewhat amusingly, Liam Fox is now blaming the EU for any hard Brexit because of their alleged intransigence in not letting Britain undermine its core values by giving the Brexit fuckwits all the cake they can eat. Unbelievable, really, but I suppose such arrant stupidity was inevitable from a tenth rate politician of Fox's paltry calibre..

The latest world market response to the now odds-on likelihood of a hard Brexit is a continuing weakening of Sterling despite the BoE's recent rate rise. I of course have forecasted this for the past year to 18 months and have regularly told you all that Sterling would hit near parity with the US $. HSBC, among others, is speculating on Sterling falling to $1.10 when hard Brexit happens.

Stagflation is inevitable- inflation of 5%, piddling growth, 20% increases in food, fuel and energy, higher gate prices for manufactured goods etc all mean greater industrial strife as workers demand for higher wages escalates, never mind the implosion of Britain's road transport industry and the chaos of the road network in SE England as our society grapples with 60 mile tailbacks from Dover and Ashford all the way back to the M25 and Dartford crossings every fucking day.

This is going to be great fun as the lower end of Britain finally begins to understand what it means to be so fucking stupid.
