Thread: Of course, if there are any real statesmen left in this country

  1. #1

    Of course, if there are any real statesmen left in this country

    and if there are any to be found in the EU, a Great Fudge could easily be made.

    Starting with the understanding that there is no rush to crack on and rush into anything, the chaps may all put their heads together and come up with a possible plan with which to tempt the public into changing their minds. Free movement of people 'within certain limits', for example. Boris could return triumphantly from Brussels waving a piece of paper representing the best of both worlds, and we could try out this new, improved EU for a couple of years before pressing the Out button. By then hoi polloi might be temptedf to step back from the brink.

    I think everyone's pretty much backed themselves into a corner on this one. The EU are pressing us to pull the trigger asap, while any suggestion of a fudge will be seen as an attempt to defy the will of the people.

    Democracy has spoken, or whatever.

    You cannot just choose to renege on the decision of the people because your chosen solution did not win.

    You’re on your own now.

    Nah. They're all like "If you want to leave then get out!" and we're all like "Can we at least pack a few things and find somewhere to live?" and they're all like "No! Get out!"

    We're going to find our metaphorical clothes on the front lawn with all the crotches cut out of the trousers imo.

    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Is that a homophobic double entendre, there?

    I heard a couple of examples of that sort of thing up norf recently. You're all living in 1973 really, aren't you?
