The Voice Of Reason

  Which side of the divide took us into an illegal war and whose economic policy's caused austerity? Sydney.  Which side of the divide raided and changed the rules on most peoples pensions and has cost the ordinary working man more than any Tory government since Sydney?
  Your much vaunted ex leader should be still doing time for the first event buddy, instead of going around spouting off against a legal referendum he doesn't like the result of. He needlessly cost British Soldiers lives.
  If he had put his name behind remain, and been more involved in the run up to the vote, he may have solved the problem by getting more people to vote to leave.
 

Time to renew that free bus pass again Selby. Try updating your knowledge while you're at it!

Alf Garnet has a lot to answer for.

Why so? Selby has made a reasonable statement without resorting to personal abuse, unlike...

The most cursory of arguments with Brexiters will throw up some massive,
gaping hole in knowledge or some delusion about the EU.

it’s a scapegoat for underlying grievances (some of which may well be justified).

I would view Brexit as a first step in changing this country for the better. None of the major parties want to change anything in reality. It suits them to keep things as they are. If you can't change anything with a general election then this was the key to the lock to boot them up the harris and bring real change.

perhaps one , measurable , verifiable  example of how Brexit will make this country better for me ?

but indeed , to quote Greta Thunberg , change is  coming !!!

  Don't bother Steve it would take more than a jumped up young spunk bubble to bother me.

  Foxbat, I would bet you  the same old people make the big bucks out of any change that comes, in fact they are already milking it.
  In fact with automation etc. the biggest difference will be they will not have to pay so many minions to make their money.

[foxbat]

would these be the same people that are betting on the pound dropping through the floor after a Brexit,
and want to avoid the the (good old) EU clampdown on offshore tax avoidance ,
 like Reece Mogg and his Eton chums , I wonder ?

[foxbat]

this is the reality

Bloody hell - even Rachel Johnson just now on R4 actually saying BJ under pressure from individuals
who have invested billions in shorting the £ on assumption of no deal - she actually said that, out and proud
#failedstate

Happy to take that as a compliment Selby if it was aimed at me, my point about Alf Garnet if it needs explaining at all is about the syndrome that I don't and never will get is why working class people vote for the tories and the queen, I don't know your background you may well be Sir Selby for all I know but it was a frustrated broad swipe rather than a precision strike.

  Get real Foxbat, What is surprising, when have people with real money ever bothered who they make money off.
  It has been going on since man came to live on Earth.

  If you mean people who have lived through both labour and conservative governments, then I own up.
   There has not been a lot of difference other than when Labour is in power, most of the investment goes out of the country and more people are out of work. And my tax bill goes up, and the unions get mad with the government, the labour government look about and raid whatever funds they can, such as pensions last time, and people go on strike, and at the next election most vote conservative, investment comes back to the country, and it all starts again.

  Iberian Red, I have not got a buss pass, there are no buses to get on where I live, but both the wife and I need a car each to get to the end of the drive, and on to do our business.
