Rejoice ! Rejoice! (In 50 Years Time)

[Canary42]

Jacob Rees-Mogg, a brextremist of the highest rank, says we will reap the rewards of Brexit in 50 years time.

In the meantime of course the contents of the so-called Project Fear become more and more of a reality (Firms going bust, Global Corporations moving out, jobs being lost.......)

Rejoice, rejoice, you blinkered Brexiteers for reducing Great Britain to near 3rd world status, betraying our fine country to satisfy your bigoted xenophobic dogma. I wonder how many of you will still be around in 50 years time.

Didn't some politician once upon a time use the expression "jam tomorrow"?

[douglas9401]

'Jam tomorrow' says cringeworthy toad in the usual manner of these things.

[Buenchico]

I don't always agree with Canary42 but I'll shout "Hear, hear" on this thread.

[Bazile]

And who really thinks that the true impact of Brexit (good or bad ) will be known in the next 20 years at least ?

If you think so you are kidding yourself

[Tilly2]

I thought it was all going to be 'You've never had it so good'.

[jno]

your great-granchildren will never have had it so good.

Unless it doesn't work out, in which case each generation will be worse off than the last.

Of course Rees-Mogg's own investment firm is setting up funds in Ireland. Just in case, I suppose

Have we got Brexit then? When did that happen?

[Theland]

Who's selling crystal balls?

[naomi24]

Crystal? Nah. There are some cheap and nasty ones going if you're interested, Theland.

[gness]

I read that today, Jno.... made my blood boil as if I wasn’t hot enough!

[Garaman]

We will be back in a reformed EU in much less time than that.

[Old_Geezer]

Firms are always going bust. New more suited ones push them out. Jobs come and go. It's remainer propaganda to be suggesting it's doom and pushing it at forums.

In addition we all know Brexit has nothing to do with xenophobia, bigotry nor dogma. It has everything to do with getting out from the EU yoke. Such accusations are totally unworthy and those who make them owe all decent folk an apology.

Meanwhile it may be than none of us are here in 50 years time, but if so, and genuine Brexit has occured, we'll still shuffle off this mortal coil knowing we achieved the best for all future generations of the UK, despite opposition from those who wished us all to remain obeying the Commission's diktats.

Traditionally people make up an afterlife to provide them comfort in death. I guess the idea that Brexit will somehow work out in a stupidly long time (so long, in fact, that a causal connexion between the two can never be established, conveniently enough) will serve as a suitable replacement for some, eh?

[naomi24]

//I guess the idea that Brexit will somehow work out in a stupidly long time.... //

I'm really not getting this. What Brexit? No matter what happens it can't be blamed on Brexit because Brexit isn't happening.

[Zacs-Master]

I suppose the theory is.....if the government are making such a Balls up of running the country now, gawd help us when they have full control!

[douglas9401]

It's all getting too weird now.

[Zacs-Master]

Jesus Doooogie, if it’s getting wierd for the Scots........

[jim360]

Well you didn't keep the faith for very long did you Naomi?

I mean, you could at least wait until March 2019 to decide whether Brexit is or isn't happening.

[douglas9401]

We don't care, Zoom, we're no' goin'.

[naomi24]

Never had the faith, Jim.
