The Thread of BREXIT

[Seth]

They really need to make an example out of the UK to try to discourage others to follow.

Like that would work...

A bunch of fucknut unelected bureaucrats in Brussels will end up hanging from light poles if they try is my suspicion. Sic semper tyrannis.

What is gonna happen when we've gone....the entire structure will become authoritarian. Can't make a example out of us because we won't be there. So the Germans will make an example of some other country, probably The Netherlands on account of them having a hole in their trade balance from the Brexit?

Of course they can make an example of you when you are gone! They can make the export/import horrible and traveller's lives miserable

fully agree, but how can we? until they act, we're trapped in the expectative.

Once art 50 is filed, yeah, we'll be ruthless, problem is they know it and are in no hurry.

Yes, I know, but they can't wait forever when the pound is dropping and the markets are unstable, can they?

[Svartalf]

hasn't the pound stopped dropping? and they've been clear it won't be till next government, that is a full 3 or 4 months away, and I trust cameron not to flip flop on that one

It is still going slowly down in relation to ISK (I check every day since I am going to the UK in a few weeks and want to buy the pound at its cheapest ).

Well... then there is nothing to do except keep going on as normal until they do, right?
Although planning the course of action for when/if they do would be good.

[Svartalf]

oh yesss

[JimC]

If it all goes pear shaped I guess we could send an expeditionary force to rescue the mother country...

[Svartalf]

It's already pear shaped, call up the ANZAC

Is there no mechanism for a membership vote to kick another member out?

[Svartalf]

none, and the morons in brussels must be kicking the ghost of whomever wrote the Lisbon treaty for that oversight.

[JimC]

Here's a scenario:

Brussels declares the formation of The United States of Europe, with all national governments abolished, including Britain's.

Then the panzers start to roll...

[Svartalf]

lol, Germany has no Panzers and the Leclerc ones we could lend happen to be hangar queens

They've got Leopards which are remarkably similar.

As soon as British radio stations start playing Vera Lynn, you'll know it's on for young and old...

[piscator]

Does anyone here remember Vera Lynn?
Remember how she said that
we would meet again
some sunny day?
