Should the UK remain a member of the EU

[skend04]

One for Gnasher. It appears the EU didn't prevent countries from stopping austerity policies

Just as long as our Amazon Prime subscription's survive Brexit we'll be fine.

Not sure how mate.

 

He leads a party that campaigned against Brexit but want to make the best of the shitfest 52% of dickheads served up.

 

He’d be fucking incompetent if he didn’t want to make the most out of a shit situation.

[Rico1304]

It was the cheap labour from abroad argument more than anything else. Further back in this thread it’s been said it’s a lie.

[Strontium]

Just waiting for him to adopt a "Make Britain Great Again" slogan now.

[Rico1304]

And of course there is no economic benefit of Brexit

Unhelpful bollocks from Corbyn, British industry needs seamless , tariff free borders to import raw materials and export their products,

[Denny Crane]

I think you lot have jumped the gun a tweet from the FT see below.

 

Have you also considered the fact that discussing the issue of globalism and explaining how a stronger manufacturing industry might possibly give those who voted leave a reason to vote remain. Seems good politics to me, discuss your manifesto and address an underlying issue of why some may have voted leave.

Corbyn team is complaining that his words about "cheap labour" have been taken out of context and on this occasion they are absolutely right: he was talking about "imports" made abroad with cheap labour, not cheap labour coming here - here's the relevant passage. Please retweet

So Raab and the DExEU demoted after a week and the government isn't stockpiling food, instead it will ensure there's enough food to go around. Who is old enough to remember ration cards? Apart from Stringy.

I think he said manufacturers should stockpile. Where, being the very obvious response.

So the pigeon loft is still cat-free.

Well not really as in order not be bound be EU procurement rules we have to be fully outside the EU, so hard Brexit or he’s making it up.

You're going to have to explain that a bit more.

 

He's already said that Labour will respect the Referendum result, but will seek to negotiate a customs union (lower case) and the best access to the Single Market (short of being a Member State) in order to protect jobs.

 

I don't get why that would demand that we adhere to EU public procurement regulations (which only apply to Member States).

Because being in, until we leave, and are fully out means we remain subject to EU procurement laws. If you were the EU would you allow us to opt out?

Like the way they're comparing what he said to Trump rather than Bernie Sanders - who's been saying exactly the same thing.

[Strontium]

1 in 8 Sanders supporters ended up voting for Trump. Left wing populists and right wing populists appeal to much the same demographic.

There's a 12.5% overlap in the USA?

 

Not really "much the same demographic" really, is it?

I've not heard Corbyn's speech from today. What you're saying is while we're an EU member we have to abide by EU procurement regs, but if we leave we don't. Is Corbyn (or anyone) saying any different?

I’ll let you listen to it then. The gist is ‘we’ll give uk contracts to uk companies.’ Which we can’t.

[Rico1304]

Don’t worry though, we’ve been promised ‘adequate food for all’.

Interested why you blame Corbyn for Brexit but it's 'your lot' that held the vote, led the leave campaign and have fucked it up ever since?

When have I blamed him? He could have done more in the referendum, I’d have voted for him if he’d said he’d keep us in. Blame lies with Cameron but Corbyn seems happy with it.

[Numero Veinticinco]

7 out of 8 Bernie Sanders didn’t vote for Trump. Shows just how much overlap there is. Trump supporting bastards. The 1 in 8 deffo wasn’t anything to do with a rejection of Hilary!

 

Etc.

Your lot continue to perpetuate it, Johnson, IDS, Fox, Davies. Clueless all, as is Rabb. Doing and saying anything to save face and turning what was an unstable situation into an out and out clusterfuck for one reason and one reaon only- it's a party founded on individualism where only personal ambition counts.
