leaving the sinking Ship - Brexit SS

[Notch7]

My builder mate is flat out with work

I know many builders, they’ve always been flat out with work.

their biggest problem is getting good labourers and getting good subbed.


There is a shortage of skilled tradesmen.

young people want to be app designers, social media “influencers”, website designers.

 

[Notch7]

As I said, it’ll take time but it will be better in the future

Daily Express headlines:

Daily Express headlines:

before and after:

So for clarity, you are now accepting Daily Express stories? Only reason I ask is that there’s at least 50 posts where you tell everybody what **** they print or is it just a case of that stories in the Express, Mail etc are lies until they fit your narrative in which case they are true?

 

[Mottie]

There is a shortage of skilled tradesmen.

Because they had been priced out by cheap foreign tradesmen. It’ll TAKE TIME for the skills shortage to be filled. Like I said, nothing happens overnight except sudden shortages which you remoaners seem to have a fixation on.

 

[JohnD]

Mottie doesn't care.

 

[Mottie]

Good luck with that.

They are as rare as rocking horse poo.

Because of cheap foreign labour. Brexit will fix that but not overnight.

 

[Mottie]

there are no short term benefits to Brexit.

I never expected any.

there are no long term benefits to Brexit.

We haven’t even reached medium term yet so how the **** do you know?

 

[Mottie]

Mottie doesn't care.

So says 'peeping' JohnD. Why don't you you buzz off and have a little peep in a forum where you aren’t supposed to be or maybe make a few posts in some locked threads. You must be bored and on a driving break so go ahead, get busy.

 

[Mottie]

Pent up demand from Covid. FA to do with Brexit.

Wow! Just like your sudden uptake of Daily Express stories that suit, you are now choosing to accept something else you’ve previously poo poo'd because it suits. You change like the wind.

Impossible.
However, every one whose comments I have read wanted one thing: to leave the EU.

Did they want to leave the single market?
Did they want to leave the EEA?
Did they want to leave the customs union?
Did they want to give up easy access to the single market?
Did they want to give up easy access to the customs union?
Did they want to do any of those things because they believed the politicians who told them that it would be the easiest thing in history and that we would hold all the cards?
Did they want to leave because they thought that we would retain easy access to the single market and the customs union?
Did they want to leave because they thought that an extra £350M/week would go to the NHS?

Did they understand the multifaceted aspects of "leave" and the different things it could mean, and did they know which things it would mean and how did they know?

Trying to persuade us Brexiteers that we were wrong isn't really getting you remoaners anywhere, is it?

It is hopefully getting us to the position where we all know, leavers and remainers alike, that leavers will go to their graves still being criticised for their mistake in believing all the lies and/or their attitude to foreigners.

So why not just let it go?

Because "it" is not over.

The damage "it" has done is not repaired.

The at-worst racism and at-best casual xenophobia "it" exposed has not been eradicated.

The willingness of people to believe the lies told on "its" behalf and their wilful refusal to investigate the truth of what "it" could mean and their continuing refusal to countenance the truth of what "it" turned out to mean has not been reversed.

 

[Captain Nemesis]

Please try and face up to reality, if you voted for Johnson, the border in NI is your fault.

Brexit is one big clustrefunk, with zero benefits and a massive downside. No, Us patriots are not going to just let it go.

putting massive trade barriers between ourselves and our biggest trade partner is not conducive to any long term benefits.

 

[Captain Nemesis]

I shall not continue to 'debate' the matter on here.

Surely though youd like to stomp off on a high, wouldnt you?

Surely youd like to prove that there were special EU rules for the UK which forbade us from exporting as sucessfully as Germany did, and thats one way in which being in the EU held us back?

Surely youd like to show that because the UK contributed less to the EU budget than Germany it put our economy at a disadvantage to theirs?

Surely you dont want it to look as if you are slinking away because you cant prove your claims because they arent true?

 

[Captain Nemesis]

We won, and that's an end to it.

You won the Battle of 2016.

But thats not an end to the war.

You wait and see.

 

[mitch66]

You won the Battle of 2016.

But thats not an end to the war.

You wait and see.

Lol. Get over it mushkins.

 

[JBR]

Lol. Get over it mushkins.

"You wait and see."
Well, I'm still waiting!
I wonder whether the remoaners will still carry on even after the EU collapses!
