Terry Christan Asks................

[-SharonA-]

"Let's say we brexit on the 31st October. Can any leave voters tell me what problems in your lives that will now be solved? How will leaving the EU improve life for you and your family? What is the first thing your hoping our government does that the EU was preventing it from doing?"
Well????

[tonyav]

Ah right, one of them. Thanks Spicerack.

[Zacs-Master]

Another cop out from Naomi. Answer the damn question.

[-SharonA-]

Well no leaves can give a straight answer, it seems.

[Spicerack]

^Can't?

[Old_Geezer]

You've had at least two. Maybe it's the blinkers ?

[naomi24]

I've answered the 'damn question' on thread after thread. It's not all about you or me on a personal level, zacs. People like you don't recognise the importance of self-sufficiency, independence, pride, self-worth, and sovereignty. You know the price of everything and the value of nothing. How weak and dependant you are.

[Spicerack]

Got you. You're quite hard to understand. (that's my excuse, anyway)

[Spicerack]

^That was for Sharon.

[Peter Pedant]

// So I would suggest that if anyone asks that question now they haven’t been listening for the past three years, are deliberately ignoring it or simply trying to sound pompous. Perhaps all three.//

oh god long for: if you dont know by now- I am not gonna tell you

we really are in the crap

[naomi24]

Bet zacs would hate Terry Christian in real life. Funny what Brexit does to Remainers..... kind of distances them from the honesty of reality really. :o)

[Mamyalynne]

Much as I voted remain, I am seriously excited every time NJ says we'll get proper light bulbs back.

Hope it's true.

[Mozz71]

Terry Christian was as annoying as hell in 1990, I somewhat doubt if he's improved much. Has the look of a man desperately trying to resurrect a career.

[naomi24]

Has beens - and he's one - never have much of a career ahead.

[Mozz71]

//Has beens - and he's one - never have much of a career ahead.//

Has been? More of a "Never was".

[naomi24]

Mozz, I stand corrected.... and happily so.

[-SharonA-]

Spicerack, I get you too. I am just trying to see a way through this brexit disaster.

[KARL]

I am frequently asked by foreigners what Brexit really is all about if it isn't about being against foreigners, travelling back in time, etc. I am pleased to be able to give a clear and categoric/definitive: It's about reintroduction of incandescent light bulbs.

[david small]

He hails from Manchester whines a lot, talks with a nasal impediment, and is desperately seeking attention.
Unfortunately he is so self obsessed that he is blind to his own irritating stupidity.

[Old_Geezer]

So these foreigners who ask what Brexit is about. So they can't understand self determination and not being some elites' vassals, and work it out for themselves ? Maybe they'll actually believe the nonsense you feed them then.

[vetuste_ennemi]

//Why are Remainers all about what benefits them personally? Maybe that's why they don't understand Brexit.//

This Leave voter expected that he would be personally poorer if the vote went they way he hoped. Mainly because I thought the two (ha ha!) years it would take to leave would create uncertaintly in the markets and the stock market would fall, reducing my notional wealth (such as it is) and my potential income.

I'm also in the demographic which Mr Christian wants to see killed off and twenty year old narcissists at university think wants "selfishly" to destroy their future.

Most people are not selfish in the way suggested: they want to pass on something to their children, and, moreover, want their children to have better lives than they had, not worse ones.

The main benefit of Brexit is to reclaim our rights as a sovereign nation. The EU is not just a federal project, it's about the destruction of national independence and replacing democratic government with bureaucratic control, ie. the European Commission which is unelected and self-perpetuating. Witness the latest appointments.

To repeat (as is my boring right given my age demographic) a former, if imperfect comparison, with ancient Rome: the Roman Republic with its Senate, popular assemblies and tribunes of the people was succeeded by an emperor who governed his empire with the aid of his secretariat with recourse and accountability to no-one. Former symbols of republican rule such as the Senate became rubber stamps.

Avoiding that, ladies and gentlemen, was why this poster voted to leave. And not for my personal benefit, because I won't be around long enough to suffer the EU's future encroachments on national sovereignty and individual freedom, nor, possibly, the economic benefits of quitting.
