as TTT will gasp again (and again) - does this mean we will go back into the EUSSR ?
His head will explode like in that scene from Scanners

yup checked - todays news

[emmie]

i mentally did a jig when we were out, sorry but you lot are just sore losers.

[Hymie]

No – we’re just pointing out what a disaster Brexit has been for the UK; if it had been a wonderful success I would be pointing that out.

[ichkeria]

It’s great that you did a jig Emmie it all the jigging in the world doesn’t disguise the fact that Brexit has thus far been disastrous.
One reason for that is that the Brexit process has been managed by fundamentalists, and I’m afraid Lord Frost was in the vanguard of that.

Hymie, //The number on the side of a big red bus was just a lie//

Oh dear. You still don't understand the number on the bus. Told you Private Eye isn't educational.

[Hymie]

So enlighten me, so that I understand the number on the side of a big red bus.

[Bazile]

Who has resigned , did you say ?

Oh , Lord Frost

Perhaps he was feeling the chill and wanted to come in from the cold ?

[Peter Pedant]

// Hymie, //The number on the side of a big red bus was just a lie//

oh - you mean the great big obvious troof

the one where the Nige(*) commented post facto - "oh we should not have said that !" - - Big Nige- Nige the troofer

[naomi24]

Hymie, the people who came up with the slogan weren't in a position to promise anything. They weren't the government, they were running the Brexit campaign and simply suggested a good use for the money saved should we leave the EU. Common sense should tell you that.

[Peter Pedant]

Hymie I have supplied a photo URL which may assist rational discussion

[Peter Pedant]

oh Thx Naomi - my common sense left me on that one(*)
and here I have a photo (URL) of Boris standing in front of the very red bus

and yes yes Naomi I think you are right - he is scowling and giving it the thumbs down

(*) but hey so what - this is AB !

[gulliver1]

For the Umpteenth time Brexit was all about stopping.... Immigration....
.....(Legal or illegals)......
......But it didn't did it....but no one on A/b has the courage to admit that was the real reason they voted out.

[naomi24]

PP. Read your own link.

[Hymie]

There was no money saved as a result of leaving the EU – so indeed, the number on the side of a big red bus was a lie.

[Peter Pedant]

instead of Fourth Sunday in Advent ( sozza forf sunday...)
this should be AB crazy sunday in advent

// They weren't the government, they were running the Brexit campaign and simply suggested a good use for the money//

and so in North Salop ( norf....) - all the helpers who were telling people to vote lib dem - were only ADVISING them to vote that way and secretly wanted them to vote TORY

no wonder Boris the Bender is saying that election was stolen !

wow -lucky I am on straight finking AB !

[gulliver1]

Emmie @ 09.21... Bet you don't do a jig when Boris is out ....But I will.

[ichkeria]

The bitterest fight in the referendum was between the two leave campaigns.
Which makes Cummings’s achievement in swinging it his way all the more impressive.
And by the way has anyone noticed that since his departure the wheels have really come off the Downing Street machine/bus/jalopy?
Pains me to say it and it doesn’t say much for the replacements, but even so.

[Peter Pedant]

// PP. Read your own link.// yeah OK Boris not giving it the thumbs down - - - that was a lie

where Juncker says it is a lie - or another bit is the lie?

[naomi24]

PP, you're living proof that there are more out than in.

[Hymie]

The argument that the UK would save the sum of money on the side of the bus is analogous to a business that pays a fee of say £20/day for the privilege of selling goods at market. Each day the business sells £1,000 of goods at the market, making a profit on those goods of £500.

The owner of the business decides that they will save £20/day by not paying to attend the market.

Brexiteers will claim that the business has saved £20/day, others will realise that the business has lost £500 in profit/day (that is the position UK Plc is in as a result of Brexit).

Foo Hymie - -I think you are talking about 'opportunity costs'
or - you have to speculate to accumulate ( Helena Rubinstein)

Cash flow is king - I prefer the measure - did the lot of the people get better - so far - no but covid got in the way
( NOT: did a lot of Boris's frenz get much richer)
