YOYO wrote: Sat Dec 05, 2020 9:20 pm bimbo, you mentioned yesterday that you voted remain. Very surprising to hear that but I guess that was 4 years ago. A few questions for you.

Q1. What was your motivation for voting remain?

Q2. If there was a 2nd referendum would you still vote remain?

Q3. It appears to me from your posting views on here that you have changed your tune and are now an arch Brexiter. Are you ok with being described as a Brexiter?


I’ve been immensely consistent, I was a remain voter who wanted to avoid the kuffufle (which we can’t deny it’s been).

Once the vote occured , I was an am a democrat , therefore I strongly believe brexit should occur. If Parliament had got together around a v soft EFTA departure then that’d have been ok, being absolute c unts and trying to reverse the decision though was plainly WRONG, and the damage to democracy if they’d been allowed to get away with it would have been far greater than any short term trade problems.

My views on the EU (their treatment of our representatives over the last 4 years a disgrace) , has changed, the mask really slipped and and what the collective can f uck off. It needs to either fully integrate or stop trying to act as a state with none of the actual responsibilities of a state,

There’s been a lot of negatives, the absolute shell of a state the UK has become, and the evil of Parliament exposed how shit this country is even before covid.

The nationalism demonstrated by the Irish has come as one of the bigger surprises to me, not something I’d ever recognised visiting but the interference and smugness at being important of Coveney and others we have been presented with who have done nothing but make everything worse is something I actually hope isn’t forgiven for generations to come.


The vote now would be remain out or rejoin. We have left the EU.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


Nothing there to worry about. Parliament forgot it’s role then .... where it is now is actually far worse.

Arranges this as part of withdrawal agreement.


Puts a vote before parliament......

This isn’t difficult.

However, if you remember back then, there was no majority in Parliament for anything. They tried putting every possible shape of deal to advisory votes to see if a majority could be found and got nowhere. May just didn't have the numbers to drive something through and Corbyn was worse than useless and didn't stand for anything you could actually pin down.

I agree, however that why I say if Parliament had got its act together post the actual vote. All the effort went into reversing the decision.

It's been 98% done for weeks. Looked like agreement being reached on Wednesday and then Macron panicked and moved the goal posts. Macron is terrified of France's own Frexit movement if UK seen to be happy with the deal.

And yet the EU had deals across the globe that are far less onerous to any country than the one it's trying to impose on the UK.

The difference is that in the the other deals the two negotiating partners are working with good faith to bring each others systems closer together.
This is the first deal on how to diverge, with the good faith already thrown out by the IMB.

You and your ilk can keep bleating the same old turgid shit, but until you can fully accept the implications of divergence, and the multiple strands of your individual promises the deal will never look like what was previously given to other countries.
ie promising state support to Japanese car manufacturers, and expecting tarriff free trade on cars, or promising exclusive use of British waters to whomsoever the British government decides, then allowing the fish caught to be sold tarriff free to the single market.

This deal is about divergence, not convergence.

Origin comes from the vote you guys had 4 years ago, the fairytales you sold to the gullible population, cake and unicorns.

It also looks like the UK divide strategy has failed.

There’s never been any good faith..... all that’s playing out now is the old game of Germany/ France and who’s in charge with us not in the middle. That and Macron rightly looking at the next election.... which regardless of anything is a dangerous event for Europe.

Not this claptrap, again.

The EU class non EU countries in three ways.

Second countries are those who are in some sort of process of accession.

Third countries are non EU members, who are not in accession process who do, or want to trade with the EU. You apply to the EU to become rated as either a second or third country.

Fourth countries are non-EU members who don't want to trade with the EU.

AFAIK the UK hasn't yet applied for third country status, despite the EU saying it would not deny it to them, and despite signing the WA which placed NI in the EU SM.

It is the actions, or non-actions, of the UK itself that has threatened the internal UK food market, not any action of the EU. The UK could either not sign the WA and keep NI in the UK customs area, or when they signed it, in order to keep trade to NI, apply for third country status which the EU said it would grant them.

Anything else is Trumpist mendacity.

Nah, brexit released an acceptable “don’t we all hate the English” narrative making the more unacceptable elements of The republicans much more acceptable in polite society in Ireland. This made voting shinner much more acceptable.

There’s people on here who display much much more nationalistic hate of the English now than they ever did or would a decade ago, most of them polite public school educated types.
Not at all. You are misplaced with your thoughts on this bimbo.
What about British nationalism in England and greater Britain to a less extent? Many brexiters have gone to the extreme right and hate is on the rise. Blame your fake new media peddling government agenda for this. Neoliberalism and chaos at its finest.

Which Irish posters have changed and are now more nationalistic?
You're just talking shit.

1/3+ of those in the republic voted for a nationalist party of terrorists.
Our below 30 population as well. You should be worried
There we go banging the drum again. Those below 30 don;t remeber Warrington baby killers and McHugh ... much to their shame.
Same way you dont remember past British attrocities.

Or care.

Anyway the Shinners did well because they promised our youth housing. Nothing to do with sticking it to the English this time

The reason for recent growth in Sinn Fein’s popularly could be traced back to the the 2008 recession, the resultant massive financial crisis and the fallout from it. It resulted in mass unemployment up to 25% at one stage if memory serves me right, more social issues such as increase in homelessness, some corrupt and some poorly regulated banking institutions which were strongly to blame for the collapse of our economy (blame put on the government), the eventual return of our economy, but with a massive housing issue due to lack of a affordable property in the bigger cities for young people, and social issues such as a homelessness situation (in bigger cities). Sein Finn seized on the dissatisfaction of the younger voters with the two most popular parties Fianna Fail and Fael Gael - who have governed the country most or less since its formation. Sein Fein positions itself as a democratic socialist left-wing party and of course offered to make right all the wrongs the younger voters blamed Fianna Fail and Fael Gael parties for.

The growth in support for Sinn Fein in the last GE election had little to do with Republicanism but more to do with giving the two fingers to the two populists parties.

Thankfully Sinn Fein didn’t get into government. Hopefully we’ll seen a decline in popularity of the party and back to the status quo.

I’ve made no comment about the “English” , extreme nationalism , right wing stuff. That’s certainly not what we see in British politics , though the flirt with the extreme left was of concern. Also you’re leaping around between British nationalism and Neoliberalism.... which are at huge odds with each other.

I’ve seen what we’ve all seen.

A quick definition look.

My god the Brexit Government fits this perfectly.
Neo-nationalism, or new nationalism, is an ideology and political movement built on the basic characteristics of classical nationalism.

In its extreme forms, neo-nationalism is associated with several positions such as right-wing populism, anti-globalization, nativism, protectionism, opposition to immigration, Islamophobia, Sinophobia, and Euroscepticism.


You said Neo liberalism .....

The description above looks nothing like the current leadership btw.

Why flail around like this, we get you don’t like Britain but Trying to nail every flag to why is making you look a bit silly.

Neoliberalism and new-neonationalism rubbing off each other is what the British government is implementing.

You’re being a genuine idiot now. Go away.

“Any attempt to make sense of neoliberalism’s many twists and turns must therefore pay attention to trends in their ideological direction and outputs. And this is where neoliberalism’s recent hard turn towards conservative nationalism becomes apparent.

In truth, many of neoliberalism’s ideologues had swerved firmly towards conservative nationalism well before right-wing populism became a serious political contender.”


So a global political description has changed and made a hard turn towards something completely different but we’re going to carry on using the same words.

In truth, it makes you too difficult to keep up with as you’re now just changing the meaning of things , in some cases mid sentence.

Are you ok?

Maybe Bimbo would be kind enough to explain exactly how Parliament would have got together over a soft EFTA exit.


PM May, shall we go for EFTA ?


Arranges this as part of withdrawal agreement.


Puts a vote before parliament......

This isn’t difficult.
Theresa May is elected on a slogan of "Brexit means Brexit" then turns around and says right boys EFTA

Everyone falls in line.

Yeah right.
