Seems like there is another last chance Brexit deal every month

Goodbye UK, and good luck! Hope things work out for you.

they are once again free to run their country as they see fit....
 
Probably the only folks on the planet who may be even more willfully ignorant than the hardcore MAGA base are the Brexiters in the UK. It's a pretty close race to the bottom. Nothing has been more widely misunderstood and mischaracterized than what the EU actually means and how it actually works.

Heyya Tibsy,

Maybe you could point out how and when all the bad things will happen to the UK.

Since it is so clear to you that Brexit is terrible, it should be simple for you to quantify the short term and long term issues, using real measurements like GDP, Employment, per capita income, inflation, etc.

I await your numbers of doom.

I understand it's reassuring to go through life basing your world view on quick blurbs and soundbites. For a change of pace, why don't you do some reading and research it yourself? It's a complex issue with no easy answers.

No specifics because it is "a complex issue", but here are some links that someone else thinks might be relevant.....

So your judgment is based not on your expectations vis a vis your own belief set, but some sort of relative predictions that fit into your comfort level at this time.

I understand you better now Tibsy.....

Slaves to the bankers in Brussels no more!

Rule Britannia!

When Britain first, at Heaven's command
Arose from out the azure main;
This was the charter of the land,
And guardian angels sang this strain:
"Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
"Britons never will be slaves."

The nations, not so blest as thee,
Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall;
While thou shalt flourish great and free,
The dread and envy of them all.
"Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
"Britons never will be slaves."

UK leaves EU after 47 years

tibbie **** you and all the elitist liberal fucktards that think anyone who doesn't agree with them is ignorant

people have different views. they have different world views and reasons for supporting who and what the support. It doesn't make them ignorant or uneducated just because they don't agree with you.

The world will only start to improve when all sides realize this.
 
Come on Tibs, there's nothing like trying to sway someones opinion on something by calling them ignorant. Please educate us as to how the UK will go down in ruins using some bullet points from your thoughts, opinions, and experience from living/working in the EU and not links to some 3rd party site. I want to hear what you have to say, not some unknown author with an agenda of their own. Do you not see any advantage to a country having its independence from the EU?
 
Ahh... I see Tibs is off the "sky is falling" because of impeachment and back on the "sky is falling" Brexit decision.

Glad to see he hasn't changed much.
 
Hey Tibs, the only people who are for Brexit and Trump are the majority. Suck it.
 
Goodbye UK, and good luck! Hope things work out for you.

England was a nation for a 1000 years before the EU they will be fine. The UK will be better off without foreigners meddling in its affairs and attempting to rule it with un-elected unaccountable bureaucrats.
