Is Brexit actually going to happen?

[8ball]

I don't suppose it's much more delusional than believing Brexit will deliver is unto the Socialist Kingdom of God...

FabricliveBaby:

If the wages are so 'shit' then why are all the EU workers coming over to the UK?

If the wages in the EU are even shitter (which of course they are, especially in the East), then yes, those countries NEED the UK.

Hence, we have great leverage to use here.

They're shit of you have to live in the UK and feed yourself and house yourself, aren't they? Isn't there a reason that Britain's natives don't take those jobs? If it's not the money then what is it?

The reasons why minimum wage earning Europeans go to work in the UK is because its a fuck load of money for them. Of course it is. Because cost of living over is half of what it is in the UK. Mate, I can go to the pub on a fiver here, have four beers and still take change home.

I have a mate who how to pick strawberries in the UK every summer to subsidises his uni studies. He'll probably go to France next year.

If he lived in the UK no way would he pick strawberries. You wouldn't be able to survive. Which presumably is why the English is don't go for that type of work.

Hey, say you raised the wages of strawberry pickers, do you think you'd get more English applicants working those jobs instead? Or say you lowered the price of housing and necessities? That minimum wage sure would go a lot further!

If UK leaves do you think the wages will rise? I mean, the minimum wage will still be the minimum wage right? And rents will still be rents. And there's nothing to stop foreign investors or buy to letters buying up the UK housing stock and getting renters to pay off the ír mortgages. Last time I checked the UAE and Russia weren't in the EU, and the Brits could still buy-to-let

I toyed with going to make a quick buck teaching Arabs in Dubai for a year much in the same way that Poles go pick strawberries. They're pay you a fuck load more for similar work. Then I'd be able to come back here and live like a fucking King.

Don't think I could last in Dubai for a year,tho. I find it politically distasteful.

 

[Sprocket.]

Someone spent a lot of time and effort teaching that Budgie to swear.
I ask you!

 

[William of Walworth]

Our new "Good Friday Agreement Renegotiation Ambassador" has been sacked far, far quicker than the Tories delivered Brexit!

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Aww. I enjoyed our new pet..

Gone too soon.

Imagine if you could teach one to think independently and make its own sentences!

 

[8ball]

Gone too soon.

It’s an outrage!

<pages FM>

 

[Sprocket.]

Aww. I enjoyed our new pet..

Gone too soon.

And all because of the fear that there may be a cuttlefish bone shortage after Brexit!

 

[phillm]

In a previous life I was banned for quoting METHLABS leaving post in full - I still have it copied - twas a work of art ! no warnings or nuffink - 2000 posts and whuff gone in a puff of vape.

 

[8ball]

We've gone ban-mental.

Now I'm trapped in here with just libtard remainers for company.

 

[kabbes]

The GFA is a phenomena.
Brexit is a phenomena.

You don’t understand what phenomenonology is. It’s just an impressive sounding word to you, isn’t it?

Oi!

 

[Spymaster]

Why on earth did he get banned???

Unless he’s done something elsewhere that’s just silly.

Sweary Brexit type. Held to different standards than sweary remainers.

Yes, he's done something elsewhere. Homophobic slurs against the Irish PM are not a good look.

Someone must have reported him though.

 

[Spymaster]

Ah, ok. Fair enough.

 

[8ball]

Does "little bitch" count as homophobic slur?
There were a few Americanisms in there (possibly picked up from right-wing forums) and it seems like a general-purpose insult on those.

Hence the timely retort of "cuck" earlier.

 

[Kaka Tim]

im shocked - shocked i say - that shouty sweary aggressive brexit poster budgie 451 turned out to be a homophobic bigot.

In context, I would say yes. It followed posts of explicit homophobic insults.

Fair enough - just going by a search result.
As you were.

 

[tommers]

Budgie 452 incoming.

I think the “don’t be a dick” rule was applied.

 

[binka]

Budgie 452 incoming.

Well exactly it was obviously a banned returner just on the wind-up shouldn't have to wait for them to break any other rules just ban them on sight. They'll be back in 30 pages time, posting similarly stupid comments which for some reason people bother replying to and the thread gets even more tedious.

 

[Spymaster]

I think the “don’t be a dick” rule was applied.

That’s a daft rule, tbf. If it were applied evenly I’d be the only poster here.

 

[8ball]

That’s a daft rule, tbf. If it were applied evenly I’d be the only poster here.

Just you and editor.

Ignoring each other.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

That’s a daft rule, tbf. If it were applied evenly I’d be the only poster here.

 

[binka]

Just close sign ups and ban everyone who joined after 2009, it's the only way to be sure

 

[philosophical]

I bow to your superior knowledge.
The point I was clumsily trying to make is that the GFA and the referendum result both exist in opposition to one another regardless as to whether any individual is trying to make brexit happen or to stop it.
