The Tables Have Turned Part Two.

[gulliver1]

Because part one was closed down , (thanks to the usual suspects).
If Labour did take the UK back into the EU When they are elected next year.
The state of the UK would improve. Because Brexit is the key reason interest rates have risen and a key reason for inflation ,etc. The UK economy is poorer now than it would have been if the UK was still in the EU
Then you could all go skipping along the sunny uplands with Labour in power for years to come,

Ok then having to or in some cases wanting to use food banks. I know most that use them need to but there are others who see it as an easy way to get food when they have enough money to buy it themselves.

[naomi24]

Shhhh… don’t tell anyone but the first food bank in this country opened under a Labour government. Those rotten old Tories, eh? Tut!

[bazwillrun]

No, it was closed down because of you and your boring incessant trolling...give it a frikken rest...go out, try and find some friends (good luck with that)...get a life

[Ryzen]

Even the small boat people risk death trying to escape the EU.

PP @ 10.40 - I would be interested. What day is the PBS programme on please ?

[Toorak]

Rosie - I think it is on tonight at 9.50 (a film about a family searching for the background of a samurai sword given to the doctor who was a pow in Nagasaki at the time of the bombing)

[gulliver1]

Regrexit 53% of Brits are now saying they regret Brexit

[Rosie29]

Thanks Toorek x

[gulliver1]

Since the UK voted to leave the EU, opinions have changed 45% of Brits say Brexit has changed their lives for worse Would these be The Labour voters that TTT mentioned @ 13.11 and are ready to back Labour at the GE ,if promising to rejoin the EU is in their manifesto.

[theshedman]

Labour have already said they will not take us back into the EU. Here is what David Lammy said back in January and Keir said more or less the same, "With Labour, Britain will not rejoin the EU, the single market or the customs union. But within our red lines, there is real progress we can make to increase trade with our neighbours and deliver prosperity at home."

[gulliver1]

16,05 Thought you would have been used to U turns now with the Cons in charge .
Labour can make U turns also.

[theshedman]

Where do you get your 53% regreting voting for brexit from. Is it from the Walter Mitty world you seem to live in as I haven't met many at all. By the way most of my family have always voted Labour and none of them want to re join the EU whereas I swop from one to another depending on who is offering me the best for my family..

[DTCwordfan]

what *** - Gulliver the EU rate is at 3.75 percent and the Fed at 5.5 - so no wonder the UK rate is what it is - inflation is a global issue and little to do with Conservatism/Labourism in the UK only.

"Good point YMB, Lord Farage scared the bejaysus out of them."

I'm reminded of the line from Born In The USA:

'They're still there, he's all gone.'

[gulliver1]

It seems the Boris "Lets get Brexit done" slogan has lost it's shine. The public have moved on, it's difficult now for Tory ministers to deny that Brexit has harmed the economy, because it has. GDP, Imports and exports are all down . The promised trade deal with non EU Countries has not happened and the big prize of a trade deal with America did not happen and never will. Brexit was done and so were the British Public . Meanwhile Boris is over the hills and far away ...Go for it Keir ,,,Rejoin and Rejoice

[cashier]

I think a lot of people who voted to leave the EU regret the way it was mishandled by those concerned, not the fact we left, and it can't be 53% of British people, I wasn't asked nor, I suspect, was anyone else on here. It's still only the people surveyed.

[gulliver1]

I think what was the oven ready Brexit ,now needs to be put into the toaster.

[Peter Pedant]

Toorak is correct
did I say the wiki article is

Aidan Maccarthy

which is slightly saner - watch and we can discuss, if the mods let us
I have the book - a doctor's WAR

which is er OK or a bit tedious unless you are really INTO POW memoirs. I am since my late father cd not get his printed. Nothing ever happens ( No USP).
As far as I know it is the only eye witness account ( by a westerner) of the events of Aug ( Spoiler alert) .
Points glossed over: they got word INTO the camps - dont go out on Tue.
The Japanese were planning to massacre the POWs 15 Sep 45 as they thought THEY were the leaks enabling the Americans to flatten Japan Jun-Aug 45. Unlike the Germans they had NO idea that the codes had been broken.
186 000 Irish crossed the border to fight for King George. This is now a taboo in the Republic. ( didnt happen).

Hi Gully - sorry to take over your thread. Someone will kill it soon anyway

[Peter Pedant]

I think what was the oven ready Brexit
o god I had a one-liner about that:

the over ready Brexit seems to have been overdone ! haw haw haw

[Toorak]

Thanks for confirming PP

I don’t think I’ll watch it tonight but will look out for a repeat
