More like a countdown to self destruction.
Albert was so right. Human stupidity is infinite.
The mighty euro will thrive the British pound will take a dive.

From the beginning, over 4 years ago, I've always held the view that I'll believe Brexit when it actually happens. I don't trust any UK politician, of any party/hue and events since June 2016 have only served to reinforce that. We've been plagued with what seems to me the worst bunch of leaders in living memory, at a time when somebody exceptional was needed. Corbyn/May/Johnson/Swinson/Sturgeon. You couldn't make it up. :roll:

If Brexit happens it happens. I've never held my breath. I don't see any reason to hold a party though TBH. Just let's get on with things.

UK was never under occupation by the EU. :roll:

UK became a member of the EU willingly. :roll:

UK is leaving the EU membership willingly. :D

UK wants the benefits of the EU after Brexit, but not the obligations of fair trade. :roll:

Errrr, NO! :lol:

Some of those points are complex and multi-faceted factors of course. All surely having been done to death in the past? :wink:

Paphitis is probably the principle focal point for most issues on this forum. I don't know what you'd do without him TBH. :?

It would be disrespectful in not responding to his posts, especially on topics which affects most members on CF directly and indirectly. Anytime anyone posts something, by default, it invites responses of an agreement views or counter argument views. :wink:

What the UK joined decades ago was a trade block.

What the EU has become lately is something a lot more restrictive and controlling infringing on the member states exercising effective sovereignty.

Hence why all member states should have a referendum like the UK did.

The UK voted for independence and will be liberated soon. A clear inspiration to the states like Greece and Cyprus which are still under the EU tyranny. :wink:
