[quote quote=180208]I am going to “ celebrate “ the fact that next week the NHS is going to cop an extra £350m.
I bet they are planning already- maybe a couple of extra GPS for Gresford surgery !?[/quote]
Don’t hold your breath, their won’t be any extra GPs for a couple of years, they don’t grow on trees.The issue is that the required number of GPs is not being kept up by this we-don’t-give-a-shit hard-right Tory government; not that the brexit and Tory-voting thick—heads would get that simple point.
I will be in Wetherspoons wearing my union jack underpants with Matt but he ain’t responded to my invites yet!
An acquaintance of mine, who is pro leaving the EU, has been spouting on, since the referendum, that he has a fine bottle of chablis that he will open when we officially leave the EU.
The irony seems to elude him.[quote quote=180365]An acquaintance of mine, who is pro leaving the EU, has been spouting on, since the referendum, that he has a fine bottle of chablis that he will open when we officially leave the EU.

Just because we are leaving the EU doesn’t mean we will not/can not buy and use goods made in EU countries. You are trying to be a tad too clever and, it doesn’t work. Me, i’ll be having a dram or two of one of Scotland’s finest single malts. Perhaps you’ll find that ironic too. Cheers.

That’s exactly what you voted for. We bought and sold goods and services as members of the EU trading bloc. We don’t have an alternative arrangement yet. The great deal that we did have (that you voted to toss away) involved free movement of goods and services, just-in-time frictionless trade and no internal tariffs. I gather France wants 25 years access to British fishing waters even before negotiations have begun, ho ho!
But I’d be delighted if you can demonstrate that I’m wrong. Tell the forum about what superb alternative is available and how it beats the great deal that we had as members of the EU.
I understand that the EU export 16% of it’s market to the UK. Are they really going to turn that away?
I may or may not raise a glass of Penderyn Welsh whisky to old friends & new.

I really can’t be bothered to answer that as it’s just more remainer doom and gloom twaddle that’s been done to death, and more. We leave tomorrow and that’s it. Just as i (and millions of others) did in 1975 after being on the losing side in that referendum you need to get over it and get on board or, it’ll drive you mad.

No, they are not as it would mean a jump in unemployment in Germany for one and Germany at the moment can not afford to risk that as it is already in bother.
I find it ironic that you need to try and justify how a person who wants nothing at all to do with Europe, he wont accept that the UK is part of Europe, will celebrate.
