oh and Weemo ??? Big mistake hun, MASSIVE ONE !!!
😂.
Sceptical Geoff
They say you always remember where you were when JFK was shot. Well that no doubt applies to Americans of a certain age.
One of Our “always remembering”, is surely the result of that fateful and oh so foolish referendum, on whether the people aged over 18 (and in possession of their National Insurance Number) in the UK, wished to remain in the European Union.
I remember where I was. I had just come back downstairs, from the loo, after watching the result all night, (how appropriate @ I was literally on the shitter as the result came in!). Convinced the REAL result would only come in at about 8 AM, I thought “Oh go now for a wee we have hours yet”. And so I gave in and ran to the loo, scared of missing any important bits.
On walking back into my living room I first noted a very, very sad tone in David Dimbleby’s voice. Now this is a guy I had not liked for a long time, as I felt he had been pro Con and pro Brexit on all the Question Times. Yes I had watched them all, I had watched every tv programme, read as many articles, online as I could, both for and against being in the EU. I wanted to be informed.
Dimbleby told me those fateful words,
” Well at twenty minutes to five, we can now say the decision taken in 1975, by this country to join the Common Market, has been reversed by this referendum, to LEAVE the EU.. thi….. we are absolutely clear now, there is no way that the Remain side can win. It looks like the gap is going to be something like 52 to 48. So a 4 point lead, for leaving the EU, and that’s the, er result of this referendum…..”
Yes, like myself, Dimbleby looked stunned. I rewound it on my HDD box. So sure was I, that I had heard it wrongly. Sadly I had not . My son was away on holiday, Spain ironically. So I took the opportunity, being home alone, to cry. Not just for my son’s future, but for all our son’s futures. And our daughters.
As Halloween creeps ever closer and the nights draw in, (how apt was that deadline ffs). I know I will cry again. I feel it is too late now. I wonder if the many who voted to leave the EU, did any research on the many topics before voting.
All I know is that the next day a reporter was shown filming a man leaving a polling station the evening before. He was dressed in manual clothes and was very blazé. When asked by the news reporter ” Do you mind if I ask you how you voted?”, the man replied “I voted to leave mate” smiling and laughing he was.
Then he was asked the crucial question. “Why?” His answer did not make me cry. It made me scream, out loud, at my TV. ” Well I didn’t know much about it mate, I wasn’t even sure if I would bother voting, but I HAD NOTHING TO DO, so I thought why not? I made my mind up in there to vote Brexit……” He then laughed, and walked off, in his manual work clothes.
I wonder if this guy still has a job come January. I do hope he does not. If anything sums up just why the whole stupid fkin referendum, won by just 4 percent, (of the people who could and did vote), should never have happened, it is this complete plank!

And the award for cheesiest dramatical crap goes to……
That’s why I cba !
Garbage…. No … old garbage…
the country was going to grind to a halt and implode if leave won over 3 years ago. Literally it was the end of the world…. so the ‘ experts’ said !!!!
Still waiting…..
Not old garbage at all.
3 years ago people did not vote for a disorderly brexit.
Nobody is saying that the whole country will grind to a total halt,
but they are saying that in the immediate sense there will be disruption and a shock to the economy, at a time when the world economy is precarious. Even teh free market extremists who support no-deal (the partrick Minford group) accept that there will be a shock – “bumps along the road”, in the word of the govt. Or sinkholes.
In the medium and long term sense they’re saying that the damage of no-deal will be made worse by placing ourselves in such a disadvantage in world trade. We will be the only country in the WTO without a proper trade agreement – they take several years to complete.
The USA are not coming to our rescue any time soon because Congress refuses to allow any trade deal which threatens the Good Friday Agreement.
You don’t need to be an expert in anything to realise that jobs and living standards – especially the living standards of the poor and unemployed, are going to get a lot worse in a disorderly brexit-induced recession. We are all going to suffer, but especially those at the bottom of the pile.
It’s in the hands of 650 people at the moment, but once the shyte hits us all….
Stopped reading at “ no one is saying ,,,, “
i never said that. I said 3 years ago that was what was said,,, you altered it immediately !
No way was that a penalty !
Yes, clear penalty !!
Lets go to VAR !!
….
….
No Penalty !!
Wait … VAR got it wrong ! Let’s investigate VAR !!
Oh wait …..
groundhog day !!!
Stop and see what happens , no amount of name calling, belittling , yelling, on here will alter a thing.
At the risk of sounding cheesy and mooose facish , surely there’s more global, tragic and sickening things to be passionate about other than fkn Brexit ? FGM ? Hunting ? Domestic abuse ? Animal Abuse ? Paedophilia Covered up by people in power ? The list goes on… the point scoring” I know better than you” , Bullshit that’s been rehashed over the last 3 years is done !!
There will be no winner ..,, OBVIOUSLY !!
There never is !!
Give it a rest………. please !

I admit I’m not on the ball like you lot ie:, Ge, Scep, Badder, never professed to be, however I do recognise the same rhetoric being spewed out repeatedly , just dressed differently . Admire Bads passion for it all, but being passionate in ones beliefs doesn’t make it true !! No point in arguing the toss any more, it’s not even argument it’s just playground name calling, we will all see soon who was right etc Tick Tock ey ??
“Of curse”
irony reigns supreme
best shut up now eh Morg, before another balls up 👍🏼
