OT: What a pillock

[i961pie]

I think whatever the leave deal will be there will be some difficult times ahead for a while and the remainers will have a field day with the 'I told you so' stories. But in the long term I think we will be much better off. Before I get hammered it is only my opinion.

Why do people have to bring it back to remoaners who wouldn't be any good in the trenches, spineless goons, no pride, quislings, and so on and so forth.

It's not a war, it's a political decision. Why not focus on the issues like trade, distribution of wealth and regulations?

Driller, so many of the most devout leavers live in the past when Britain's position in the world was decided by her military conquests. They actually think the world can be like that again but they reckoned without the economic muscle of the BRIC nations, the lunacy that is now America and the sheer danger posed by Russia, North Korea and the Middle East.

Because that's the only hope they've got. There are no logical reasons why things will get better, so they cling to the hope that if we all man up, show some pride and act like true Brits then things will magically turn out ok.

Hi Driller - can you, or anyone explain how the EU has distributed wealth to the benefit of anyone but the already wealthy? How is inequality after 40+ years of the EU? Either within or between countries. What mechanism does the EU have to address the balance? Do you think there is any hope of any rich country giving up any of its advantages to a poorer one to help build a better, fairer EU. Beneath the veneer of 'a European community' its all for one with the rich doing pretty damn fine.

Apologies - a lot of Qs for a Sunday morning, but I think that a lot of claims are made for the EU which simply don't stand up to scrutiny.

Come on then i961, what is your best guess at 'the long term'? In other words, how long do you think it will take to 'turn the corner'?

Until we know the actual deal we will get no one can answer that question. Mine like all of your negative views are only opinions.
If pushed a couple of years at most, but let us see what the deal is first.
