Blokes blokes all blokes.

Just blokes. No history, no interest.
I read your post explaining their backgrounds. Didn't seem to be saying they had a particular axe to grind?
Just haven't seen anyone comment on the content of the video so far though its been posted here twice.
 
I'd like to hear anyone reassuringly say that these blokes are wrong and fearmongering .
What makes you think they are right and not fear mongering? Pirates in somalia,40 days on a ship to new zealand, carbon footprints, High tariffs, the Suez canal. No fear mongering at all.
 
Hot cross bun mix is as dangerous as petrol, Non eu Vanilla will kill us all. Food rations, one or two loaves of bread a week. No, not abit of scare mongering at all. Worst of all one posho had to wait at dover for 45 minutes.
 
tbh i didn't watch the whole thing so don't know what relevance there is to the new zealand cargo ships info or the geography of Norway.
Even if you enthusiastically support leaving the EU surely that doesn't mean you have to also think that leaving with no deal would not cause any issues and anyone who says otherwise is lying?
 
I've read a few comments / letters to papers from people involved in trade that the problem isn't what they would have to do under WTO arrangements but that they still don't know whether they will have to do it or not
Partly yes. Not knowing what is going to happen at the end of winter is hurting UK-based businesses obviously.

But I have to stress we don't have any WTO arrangements. Just tried to get a sneaky one with New Zealand and they (and some others) told us to fuck off.

The UK doesn't have many friends.

Yet you said this,,,,I'd like to hear anyone reassuringly say that these blokes are wrong and fearmongering .
yes. And.. ? Its quite long, I watched about the first half the other day. It seems impossible that it could all be true but i don't know otherwise. Do you get that regardless of how i voted 2 years ago I obviously hope what they are saying isn't right? They obvs know a lot more about international trade agreements than i do though. Anyway can't really get my head round the idea that a no deal is really going to happen as don't see anyone apart from maybe a couple of currency traders or whatever benefitting from it.
 
You know, he's basically a conspiracy theorist. Just a polite version of Alex Jones. One who wears driving gloves, drives a Lexus (probably Dan), and doesn't piss his pants over guns

Is this just conspiracy theory or have we had months and months of high level interventions by leading members of the public sector, politics, the media and so on calling for exactly what he is saying?

Why yes J Ed I believe we have! :eek::hmm:

It's not the language I would choose but you'd be hard pressed to claim it wasn't true that a very significant section of the establishment want to delay or prevent Brexit. In fact a few posters here have confidently predicted exactly that.
 
their whole script / schtick is so creepily reminiscent of an abusive relationship :

leave me & no-one else will want you as you're so ugly & useless - won't be able to cut it on your own etc etc
Do you have any evidence of this because it genuinely appears to be the UK fucking everything up. Do what we say or we'll leave and it will hurt you more than it hurts us.

Do you have any evidence for your claim?

hey maybe all these relationship metaphors don't really work for complex neoliberal trade blocs
