Post by Cursitor DoomPost by T i mDid we though? Who 'thrashed it out? Most people I've spoken to (in
person) and those interviewed on TV / radio all seem to say the exact
same thing ... they didn't have a clue about it all then (especially the
final outcome) and nothing has changed now.
So... the people that voted in favour of leaving didn't fully understand
the proposition that was put to them.
No, I'm saying 'most of the people' didn't.
Post by Cursitor DoomSo....what happens when people sign a contract for supply of goods or
services and then claim later that they didn't understand what they were
signing up for?
They are often screwed. Welcome to our future.
Post by Cursitor DoomUnder English law, not being arsed to look into the ins
and outs of what you sign up for is not grounds for breaking a contract.
Correct.
Post by Cursitor DoomIf it ever were to be, then all commerce would immediately cease to
function, because no agreements could be entered into with any degree of
Certainty.
True.
Post by Cursitor DoomIOW, tough tits, mate.
Oh, absolutely, but again you are talking from the perspective of
it being a Win / Lose like a football match, rather than appearing
to have any concerns that your choice may well burn us all.
Nothing like that ever does, there will always be some it doesn't burn.
Post by T i mRemember, I still have no dog in this fight,
Corse you do with that stupid 'your choice may well burn us all'
Post by T i mI would *happily* vote for any decision that *clearly* demonstrated
there was a *very good* chance of 'most people' being better off.
But you are so fucking stupid that you can't even manage
to work out that that isnt even possible with a choice like
this and is just as true of remaining in the fucking EU.
Welcome to the real world.
Post by T i mI don't know that 'getting rid of immigrants' or 'stopping
un elected bureaucrats in Brussels' will make things better, ITRW.
It clearly will for the unskilled who have to compete with the
unskilled from the EU that choose to move to Britain because their
prospects are better in Britain than where they are coming from.
Post by T i mI can see though that if you were someone who was attacked
by 'an immigrant' or had lost their business because an European
law I might be upset, but I think I'd still have the common sense to
see how those things might affect 'most people' and vote accordingly.
And that is precisely what so many that don't see that it makes any
sense to allow anyone in the EU who believes that their prospects
in Britain are better than where they are coming from to move to
Britain and demand that Britain hand them benefits and a house
to live in when that is much better than what is available where
they are coming from.
Post by T i meg. My mum (87) voted Remain, not because she had closely
explored any of the facts(?) that were available at the time and
voted accordingly but because 'it's better with the devil you know'.
So clearly your terminal stupidity is genetic.
Post by T i mI suggest many voted remain for the same reason, *not* because
it was considered to be the best thing ... but because it wasn't
proven that the alternative would be either *and* was unknown.
Sure, but the fact remains, more who bothered to vote voted to leave
than voted to remain, so you get to like that or lump it, remoaner.
Post by T i mYou obviously didn't consider any exit fees
Because there is no mention of any in Article 50 or in the Lisbon treaty.
Post by T i mand I'm guessing also failed to consider the issues with the borders in NI
Nope, he has already said repeatedly that either a normal border
there or the existing open border continuing there will work fine.
He's right.
Post by T i mthat is currently causing a stumbling block with the Brexit negotiations
Because Barnier keeps trying to make it as hard as possible to leave.
Post by T i mand testing the very status of the current
government at the same time (no majority).
Hardly the end of civilisation as we know it.
Post by T i mDoes any of this sound like 'us all heading in the same direction'?
Nothing in politics ever works like that, fuckwit.
