Brexit Derangement Syndrome

[webbo3]

Gulliver and Hymie must be suffering from this

The cost of our annual EU membership at £18 billion is a lie; event some ardent Brexiteers admitted it. After rebates and other funding from the EU, the actual amount is around half that at £9 billion.

With around 28 million households in the UK, each having lost £1,000 as a direct result of Brexit – by my maths, we are £19 billion down on the deal.

The old rebate, being given our own money back and told where to spend it, why don't we just give £9M

The one and only reason Brexit isnt the success it should have been is because of people like Gulliver and Hymie who did everything they could try and stop it from happening..were unable to repsect a democratic vote and have been crying ever since, but as always post utter garbage and continue to succeed in showing their total naivety and sheer ignorance and make a total laughing stock of themselves.

[Hymie]

In round numbers, the UK paid the EU a notional £18.6 billion, but we received a discount (or rebate) of £5.6 billion – so paying £13 billion. In addition the EU spent £4 billion on public sector projects in the UK, leaving our net contribution as £9 billion.

Hymie, For God’s sake give it a rest. This is like an illness with you. You’re obsessed with it. Do you ever think of anything else?

So a bit like me giving you a twenty pound note, you giving me £5 back and allowing me to spend another fiver, provided I spend it on the things you tell me to. Hmm...sounds like a good deal to me - but then I was never too good with money.

I won't ask what happened to the £9bn every year but I watched a brand new motorway constructed in western Greece a few years back and that had EU flags all over the "opening soon" signs (well I assume that's what they said - the Greeks use funny writing), So I expect some of our £9bn went to build that.

But leaving that aside, has it never occurred to you that the £4bn that the EU kindly spent on public sector projects in the UK might have been better spent by the UK government? Or are we back to your general philosophy that you'd prefer a bunch of unelected foreigners to look after the UK's affairs rather than its elected MPs?

We are where we are.At present my company is using a Nigerian(yes,Nigeria)employment agency to recruit staff from Nigeria.All doing inferior stuff the Poles and Latvians used to do.Meanwhile my fellow Aberdonians(living off the dole)are complaining about"bloody foreigners".

[Hymie]

Any claim that the UK, with its totally un-elected House of Lords and first past the post electoral system, is more democratic than the EU governmental establishments is nonsense.

[ynnafymmi]

I could warm to you Hymie.However your racism and contempt for us Scots on this site makes that highly unlikely.

[Old_Geezer]

Since any new EU legislation to be considered is from the Commision only, a group, none of whose members have been voted in by the public and are thus unaccountable to them, this proves that the EU is not only less democratic than any western nation, it is so much so that, considering the EU parliament is simply there to give an illusion of democracy and to rubber stamp what is passed to them at short notice, and in the unlikely event they actually reject something, it will return in a different guise to win over any waverers, it has actually no real democratic aspect at all.

Now trying to compare that with a nation that has the sensible FPTP system, giving stability and a reduced chance of impotent hung parliament, and which has only it's upper chamber that is not yet elected, is utterly unbelievable. No nation on Earth is truly democratic but western style societies are out of sight democratic compared to many; whereas the EU is scraping the bottom, but with a facade of democracy to fool the naive.

I blame Care in the Community..Gulliver and Hymie would be dressed in a very stiff jacket with daily injections a few years back.

brexit derangement syndrome

"unreasonable and groundless belief held, against fact, that Brexit is the predicted Heaven on Earth and cd never have been otherwise."

i havent got that right, have I

[Peter Pedant]

excellent English LandF - where is the:
"da, foo, Dzerinsky he goot marn, I luff Katya"
we are inured to?

[Atheist]

The BA is the dumbest I've ever read.
It admits that Brexit isn't the sucess it should have been, then goes on to credit people like Gulliver and Hymie for achieving that.
I mean, who's side is Baz on?
