Not being funny mate but that's your view and good luck to you. You sound just like my old boss and he was wrong. Nobody can predict whats whot next week let alone 30 years so why worry about it? Seems a bit silly to me as the EU might not even exiist by then and France Germany etc might have had enough of it and f***ed off too. Not being funny your probably a top bloke but do you find telling others how to think has got them on your side? Another reason i'd change to vote Leave now is there's lots of people trying to make out leavers are thick we'll hang on, that's all my mates near enough and we keep the country going not the government. I admit I only went remain because I was scared of a recession feel lied to now these big wigs haven't a clue and have a cheek telling anyone they were wrong. That we can never see 100% of the future is obviously true but we can make judgements about what is most likely and make our plans based on them. If you see black clouds on the horizon and know the wind is blowing that way you have good reason to expect some rain. That's why we do forecasts. The same applies to Brexit. We shouldn't just hope. We need to listen to those who can make the forecasts and not just put on our swim ware in the hope that the wind changes. I am not really trying to "get you on my side"! I am just trying to point out that your approach, whilst it is the one shared by many right now who are thoroughly tired of the whole thing and just want it over, isn't going to serve up the result the country needs. That is not your job. It's the job of Parliament to ensure we get what we need and not just what everyone wants.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

'It's the job of Parliament to ensure we get what we need and not just what everyone wants'. But the UK parliament has no power here, except the right to cancel. The extension runs out soon and the EU becomes free of us !

No, I gave that up at the same time as Black Forest Gateau fell out of favour as a dessert. I prefer all my courses to be served up with a large side of realism and not smothered in a sauce of untested recipes with fake claims and wishful thinking as the primary ingredients. At least the Avocado bathroom suite is back in fashion on a retro basis...if you stay still for long enough you will once again be ahead of the curve...even a broken clock is right twice a day!

Fell out of fashion? Seemed popular enough the last time I took the wife out.

UK law must take precedent over EU citizen's rights otherwise you have a two tier legal system with those citizen's using EU law to get their way. A Remainer who can travel in the EU freely sounds harmless but I don't like the idea of a UK citizen beholden to a body that the UK does not belong to. If those rights are just granted to Remainers how does that work? Do they take some sort of pledge of allegiance? I don't think so. If the EU wants to offer any rights or privileges it must be for all UK citizens otherwise they are creating a fifth column.

When exactly did ''we want'' two wages to support one average family when one was sufficient for bloody decades? This is what your beloved Parliament has forced upon us all and for way too long now! Given your age, you are a bloody embarrassment.
