Hard Brexit, Soft Brexit what do they think it is a boiled egg its Brexit thats what the democratic choice of the UK was lets get on with it
From an @FT comments page. Seems a fair summary and tweet has gone viral with over 4000 retweets & likes, and here’s a full transcript so you can read it easily: So, this is how the debate reads so far. I kid you not, it’s practically verbatim: " Remainers (left holding the Brexit baby after the Leavers… left) “WTF?” Leavers “We voted Brexit, now You Remainers need to implement it” Remainers “But it’s not possible!” Leavers “The People Have Spoken. Therefore it is possible. You just have to think positively.” Remainers “And do what exactly?” Leavers “Come up with a Plan that will leave us all better off outside the EU than in it” Remainers “But it’s not possible!” Leavers “Quit with the negative vibes. The People Have Spoken.” Remainers “But even you don’t know how!” Leavers “That’s your problem, we’ve done our bit and voted, we’re going to sit here and eat popcorn and watch as you do it.” Remainers “Shouldn’t you do it?” Leavers “It’s not up to us to work out the detail, it’s up to you experts.” Remainers “I thought you’d had enough of experts” Leavers “Remain experts.” Remainers “There are no Leave experts” Leavers “Then you’ll have to do it then. Oh, and by the way, no dragging your feet or complaining about it, because if you do a deal we don’t want, we’ll eat you alive.” Remainers “But you don’t know what you want!” Leavers “We want massive economic growth, no migration, free trade with the EU and every other country, on our terms, the revival of British industry, re-open the coal mines, tea and vicars on every village green, some bunting, and maybe restoration of the empire.” Remainers “You’re delusional.” Leavers “We’re a delusional majority. DEMOCRACY! So do the thing that isn’t possible, very quickly, and give all Leavers what they want, even though they don’t know what they want, and ignore the 16 million other voters who disagree. They’re tight trouser latte-sipping hipsters who whine all the time, who cares.”
I voted for a rock hard Brexit. Not yer namby pamby hard brexit. Let's get on with it! And let's have a good clearout.
As you've already remarked, you are another one who thinks he can calmly settle in another European nation on the basis of "free movement" and who sees no contradiction between that and your wish to leave the EU on the grounds, (if I understand the Brexit position at all, which I do find rather difficult) that you dislike "free movement". At least you are gracious enough to admit it and to see the funny side of the inconsistency. Someone will be along in a minute to say that "we" are going to negotiate for your right to do as you like on the basis that "we" won't be kicking the foreigners out after all (which rather begs the question of what Brexit was all about in the first place). But that doesn't quite cut it, does it? Markham is All Right, Jack - he's already in the EU so he is "covered" by the foreigners who are already here, like Aromulus, who is already here so he is, so to speak, "covered" by Markham. But as you say, suppose you want to go and live in Spain after Brexit, when the only foreigners allowed in will be brain surgeons and nuclear physicists under the quota system... Not so clear, is it?
the thing is Andrew brain surgeons and nuclear physicists can work to 1000sth of an inch, I lay paving slabs and my work has to be spot on so I should get in
Either Spain or Malta, yes. Yes. I was the first to spot the irony of my posting. Brexit was mostly an anti Immigration ticket. For most of that majority (and it was a majority might I remind you Andrew) it was not really much else. And I jumped on that bandwagon too. That is why we do not know what is coming next.
Brits have been relocating in Spain, Italy, Malta and France prior to 2004, when Freedom of Movement came into being, and they will continue to do so after Britain leaves the EU. And very few of them will be brain surgeons.
A mate of mine came back from a holiday in Salou the other week and said "I want my holiday back! He voted Brexit too but is not happy about the exchange rate he got with the Euro. LOL. He said to me "Wadda I do Ron Ron Ron?"
I think I may be the other re-moaner on the forum I tell ya were all doooooomed!!!!! Has Ron got grandparents of Irish descent or Italian or French or any other country that's part of the EU ?? If so you could apply for dual citizenship and then Brexit wont be a problem at all.
