The big Brexit thread - news, updates and discussion

[brogdale]

You believe that in time there will be regret.
I hope by bring a massive count on this matter it might accelerate the process.
I take some comfort in however massive a cunt I am I have a way to go to reach the cuntish levels of brexit voters.
The slower the process the more embedded the enemy become from my point of view.
Rees Mogg has already tried to buy himself 50 years.

OK, I tried to engage.

 

[philosophical]

OK so did I.

I wasn’t reading anything new. Time, sadly, is precious.

 

[Streathamite]

This thread is unreadable.

put the bugger on ignore. I did, and it improved the thread for me no end!

 

[philosophical]

Ignore and no-platforming is a useful part of the armoury of the left. I get why it's done.

 

[Flavour]

I have both philosophical and Marty1 on ignore but as a lot of the posts are replies to this pair of plonkers it remains very hard going trying to make sense of the thread or whether or not there is actually any news worth reporting or discussing.

Understood, but I have a feeling that this thread might get quite busy, (& possibly more substantial) over the next 2 or 3 months.

Page 40 onwards is largely worth ignoring, tbh.
Wonder what happened.

I’m back, I’m a nosey bastard at heart!

Putting that dickhead on ignore does make it hard to read the thread, but you are all big boys and girls, if you just ignore the prick the thread is readable and you don't need to listen to the infantile politics of the sad case.

I tend to agree.
Sadly the first responses of the big boys and girls tend to be personal abuse, and sometimes threats.
It seems difficult for some to ignore me, the prick or the cunt or whatever.
Maybe the big boys and girls are not as confident in their stances as they wish to believe, abuse is the easy way to run away.

There was no threat you fool, no one except you read what TopCat wrote to mean anything other than what he meant, i.e. that if, as you claim, you espouse your views vocally around the streets of south London you must be fond of eating through straws.

I disagree.
If TopCat wasn't advocating violence why didn't he deny it when called out on it?
Was he relying on telepathy?

Probably too busy laughing at you.

Guess work.
As is your post number 1453. Although well played for slipping in a bit of personal abuse into that post. You haven't lost your touch have you?
Incidentally not once have I claimed to have 'espoused my views vocally around the streets of south London', however I understand that you may feel telling outright lies might make you feel it strengthens your case, whatever case you might be trying to make.
Abusing, no platforming, ignoring, and lying are quite the common currency on Urban75 aren't they?

yeh i've seen you handing out the abuse, ignoring what people have said and claiming they've said something other than they did.

you're really lucky you haven't been no platformed.

FFS PLEASE STOP

I suppose you believe irritating posts are enough to be banned huh?
Not loving Big Brother enough eh?
Are you the moderator of Urban 75?
Edit.
I have never once put anybody here or elsewhere on ignore by the way. Putting fingers in my ear and chanting la la la is not my approach.

Here you go again. You have ignored what I said. I said nothing about you putting people on ignore

Let's see how you play on your own for a bit

if you just ignore the prick the thread is readable

beg to differ.

anyway. 13th october. "entering a tunnel". EU clearly quite prepared for a No Deal exit. Britain less so. Barnier basically making funny hand gestures while Johnson talks. Something about fish. Nobody cares.

They don't believe Johnson...which seems reasonable...no-one does.

The brexit busting ships and extending the movement between Cork and Roscoff and Rosslare and Cherbourg may well be the answer for internal trade within part of the EU, with no need to use the UK as a land bridge and endure 12 hour delays at Dover or Harwich or wherever under the new UK lorry park initiative.
The time differences may well become marginal, especially if the French authorities are super strict.
There may even then be a valve style scenario occouring on the island of Ireland where anything anybody and everything pours north into the UK, but movement south is as disrupted as possible for UK registered or originated stuff.
Yes it would be against the GFA, but once demonstrated that it is caused by those who voted brexit, then any push back is likely to be against the Brits, particularly the English and Welsh.
Holyhead and Fishguard would take a hit but it might be a real test of the notion they need us more than we need them. Anyway Holyhead can open up for all the Mongolian imports.

I'm not sure if I like Nantucket sleighride by Mountain- any other people undecided ?

 

[two sheds]

One of my favourite tracks

 

[Raheem]

Read in the Guardian that the EU has agreed to allow us to remain in the single market for energy, and the penny dropped. BJ's sudden enthusiasm for renewables is at the EU's behest, isn't it? They want a way to be able to access cheap renewable electricity without upsetting their own farmers and tourist industry.

Are we talking about the album or the title track?

...
Brexit voting posters here are triumphalist and call objectors like me cunts, they seemingly welcome the suffering for your family and others.

This is quite frankly bullshit. No-one on here as far as i can see is 'triumpahlist'. Everybody here agrees that Brexit as manifested by the disaster capitalists currently in charge is a disaster. Please post examples of triumphalism on here or STFU.

Those who voted for brexit.
Simple.
When you declare 'everybody agrees' it is a similar claim to my saying 'brexit voting posters here' wouldn't you agree?
Or are there differing standards of generalising in play on urban75?

Apologies for my bad spelling of 'triumphalist'.

Thank you
No need to say any more now
