Now you see, Rich, after all this time you finally made yourself useful.
Yes, you are exactly correct, Burney represents a tiny minority of people who voted for Brexit because of his 'principles'. His failure to recognize this is because of....... you know what, I won't bother. Just read his post again where he describes himself perfectly while missing how incredibly ironic it is that he does so while trying to describe someone else (me).
Speaking generally, I think the below lists the things we like and dislike as a country.
Like
Customs Union/Free trade/Single market
Visa-less travel
Dislike
Free movement of people
Having to give lots of money to the likes of Greece and Ireland
Being told by Brussels what to do
If her deal were to go through, you mean. And not only does it keep us in the CU while we negotiate our exit terms, during that period we get all the benefit of being in the EU without having to pay them any money, having control of our borders and being able to deviate from their regulations in all but a few areas.
Yet somehow this is a horrible deal and a travesty and May is a cund etc etc etc
Honestly, you couldn't make some of these halfwits up if you tried.
I think that May got most of what she asked for, tbh. A negotiation is a compromise and given that nobody wanted a hard/no-deal Brexit, the EU were hardly going to bend over and give May everything she asked for.
She's damned if she does and damned if she does. I, for one, admire her resilience.
Sort of, but not exactly. We have no problem with foreign folk coming over for a holiday, spending some money & then returned from whence they came. We do have a problem with foreign folk coming here to settle.
We do not ask for the right to settle within the EU. What we ask is that we can still visit Tuscany/Bordeaux/Corsica etc without having to go through the palava of obtaining a visa.
