logical step for Labour is to reverse Brexit

[morqthana]

Yes, we don't have people in Brussels making decrees that we have to follow.

We never did.

I don't really spend much time on politics,

That explains a lot.

I can't say I've forensically analysed the impact of Brexit,

And yet

I'm loving it.

it's been wonderful.

I am 100% happy with Brexit, it's exactly what I wanted.

all I am interested in is the principal, and that is that the people making the rules for where I live are also from where I live, not hundreds of miles away and having never lived here.

So you live in Westminster?

 

[morqthana]

whataboutery - I believe it goes

Yup - "whataboutery" is always the way people try to dismiss being caught out as a hypocrite.

 

[morqthana]

I don't know whether this is true, but they are all British, so that's fine by me.

And there it is. That's all you care about. You know, and knew, nothing about the EU except that some of the people running it aren't British, and that was all it took for you to reject it.

Brexit is strongly linked to xenophobia, according to scientists

People making the rules for the UK in Westminster, or in anywhere else within the UK, is fine. People outside the UK, not fine.

No, I know a lot about the EU.

Yes, I want British people governing Britain. This does not mean I'm xenophobic, I just don't want foreigners running my country, why would I?

 

[morqthana]

Yes, something should be done about that too.

And where do we get the money to buy back all the assets we flogged off?

 

[Notch7]

I don't know whether this is true, but they are all British, so that's fine by me. We do not have an additional layer of government above us, and that's how it should be. Government should always be as local as possible. The more local it is, the more effective, appropriate and responsive it is.

all Brexit achieved was to give control to Tufton street grifters, wealthy mateds of Tories and a bunch of disaster capitalists

you dont seem to realise it doesnt help British citizens one iota

youve been sold the falsehood of self determination


not only that but Brexit was influenced by Russia, who seem to have a rather too strong influence in British politics


brexit did not increase British sovereignty it reduced it

 

[Notch7]

I just don't want foreigners running my country, why would I?

but now that we have left we are a medium sized economy in a world run by 3 economic super powers: EU, USA, China

the UK now has now very no power or leverage in the world we are a rule taker not maker


My guess is that your beliefs are driven British exceptionalism and a sense of nostalgia harling back to the days of the Empire

 

[Koolpc]

Even by your standards that's a ludicrously fatuous statement.

Lol says you!

It's very simple. I just want British people running Britain.

Your twisted attitude shows that yes, you are xenophobic.

People saying "if you want to sell us your widgets they will have to conform to standards we like" is not running the country, is it.

In fact, it's been wonderful. If you think I want some person who doesn't even live in this country telling me what to do, you are wrong.

What did the EU tell you you had to do which you didn't want to?

British people making British laws is what we need.

Which laws did we have which were not made by British people?

Yes, we don't have people in Brussels making decrees that we have to follow.

How many examples of those can you quote?

I don't know whether this is true, but they are all British, so that's fine by me.

As I said - that is the ONLY thing which has ever mattered to you.

Yes I guess I am a typical Brexiteer,

I won't argue with that.

EU Working Time Directive.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

People making the rules for the UK in Westminster, or in anywhere else within the UK, is fine. People outside the UK, not fine.

Like how much harder it is to trade import and export now.

Co operating and helping form the rules was much better for us than how it is, now we don't do that, but now HAVE to follow the rules they make.

Thats a backward, siege mentality, little Britain mindset to me.

Correct.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

EU Working Time Directive.

And please explain the benefit of getting rid of that
