53% agree with me! I'm a majority not a minority!Originally posted by ramAnag View PostReally? You cannot be serious. Mind you, I suppose if you have no desire for political decency, no respect for social responsibility and a bizarre desire to set society back about a century and a half...you’re probably right.

How do you work that out? I didn’t know we’d had a referendum on the virtues of Farage and Mogg. The former has never managed to win enough support to be an MP and the latter would doubtless have done well in Dickensian Britain...Workhouses indeed Rog...only this time probably without the gruel.Originally posted by Manofpride View Post53% agree with me!

Not sure if anyone's actually interest in a 'balanced view', but on my way into work I listen to Farming Today at 5:45. The BBC hacks are always gagging for a 'Brexit impact' soundbite from the people being featured, from traditional arable farmers through foresters to haulage people, and the responses almost without fail are sensible, balanced, well-considered - 'here's where I think the issues are, this is the lobbying I'm doing, this is the outcome I hope for, these are my tactics to survive and prosper in whatever outcome'. Our gate-leaning friends appear to be treating Brexit as just another bump in the road, alongside Bovine TB, wheat stem rust blight, swine fever etc and good for them.

Not sure if this had been mentioned before but..... in a recent interview, President Macron admitted that IF the French were to hold a referendum on EU membership they would vote out.........
The French of all people!! Those same French who should have been fined for most of the past 20 years for exceeding the allowed 3% overspend on GDP but haven't been, according to Juncker, because they are the French. Those same French who ignore (exceed) their fishing quota. Those same French whose farmers do so very well out of the CAP subsidies. Yes, those French. They want out.
Who would have thought we would be in agreement with the French

Who’s ‘we’ MA? Please don’t include around half of ‘us’ and haven’t you just ‘become’ Dutch on the back of the referendum. Don’t blame you...my youngest appears likely to ‘become’ German for much the same reasons.Originally posted by MadAmster View PostNot sure if this had been mentioned before but..... in a recent interview, President Macron admitted that IF the French were to hold a referendum on EU membership they would vote out.........

As we’re in a grown up debate, on this thread thankfully at least, there is ‘evidence’ Andy...much of it may be anecdotal but amongst the business, finance and political fraternities there is a clear evidence of increasing dismay at the complexities and negatives emerging from the negotiations.
This should come as no real surprise. Since June 23rd 2016 what have we actually seen?
Well, putting it in an entirely ‘balanced’ - or at least truthful way - we now have...a declining retail sector, a weaker pound, increasing inflation, a shortage of some workers, including nurses, from the EU, the possible reemergence of the NI problem as a direct result of the Irish border issues and an appallingly weak and ineffective Government which has been totally sidetracked and overwhelmed by the Brexit issues for the last twenty months.
Of course the devil himself, a certain Mr. Farage, did predict all this when, strangely before the Referendum result went in his favour, he declared that a 52-48% result would never resolve the issue. For once he was right, though not in the way he could ever have envisaged, but I look forward to your attempts at redressing the ‘balance’ and telling us that all in the post referendum British garden is rosy.Last edited by ramAnag; 12-02-2018, 08:44 AM.
