In the future will Britain export anything very much special ?

[SteveClem]

Grass always greener elsewhere?

We could export the voters and cretinous moronic politicians who have landed us in this crisis.

Unfortunately allot of the politicians who landed us in this crisis when they hoodwinked us into staying the Common Market, as it was then known, knowing full well what was on the agenda for the future, are no longer with us.
Most notably (or notoriously) Edward Heath, who we are all now aware of what he got up to in his spare time, which says it all, his interpretation of open market policy doesn't bear thinking about.
Fortunately not all politicians are like him, though I suspect there are a few others we don't know of yet and who will presumably escape justice also, for one thing it would have taken people of influence and power to protect that other pervert Jimmy Sa'vile' for so long.......

As for the voters, you may find that we're surprisingly better informed than you realise, knew that there were half truths and blatant lies told by both sides in the referendum campaign but who are intelligent enough to make up our own minds and think for ourselves and who think this country is better off with BREXIT in the long run.
We are not the ill informed idiots you think we are, what we are though is the majority, like it or not.

None so blind ....

[LobbyLudd]

Mmmmm.....so is there actually anything that we feel can be regarded very much special as a 'British' item that we will be succesfully exporting in the future ..........

Here's one for starters perhaps
Seaside Lettered Rock... available with any worldwide language for any seaside resort (with letters guaranteed to run all the way through- Russian or Chinese no problem )


Or another one a bit more more seriously - The Brompton Folding Bicycle (Already a patented British made export success so far )

[jagnut66]

None so blind ....

None so blind, as those who will not see.................
Not sure who it's aimed at but both sides could apply it to each other, it depends on your individual viewpoint......
Therefore, in this case, it becomes just another meaningless insult...............
All I will say is that the Remain camp have Tony Blair fighting their corner, which should be enough for any reasonable person to abstain or side with BREXIT in the hope that he seeks citizenship elsewhere.
I see they are now saying he was an ineffectual 'Peace Envoy' (a joke in itself) because he had his hands in too many other pies.......
Such a great representative....................... NOT!!

[LobbyLudd]

And another ..... Cornish Pasties Certified regional certification (appellation) original authentic recipe )! Full shipping container as standard international export unit

(Am I the only one - surely not -at the very least , Firedrake ?? ?????:lol: )

[les]

Tony Blair---- 10 houses and 27 flats! Property empire of approx £27,000000. When is a socialist not a socialist?
Perhaps human nature is Tory !

[jagnut66]

You are, of course, assuming Tony Blair is human....................................

[firedrake1942]

not an insult, merely an observation as the uk sails blindly off into splendid isolation down sh@t creek, with no paddle basking in the myths and stories of its glorious past with no idea of a course to chart. ..... it will be interesting watching those who voted leave, start to howl as prices rise further and they are hit in the wallet . I will be watching with no small degree of schadenfreude from a small place just outside Lyon.......as turkeys realise that the Christmas they voted for is rapidly approaching.

[Propshaft]

I for one will be glad when we get rid of Brussels, but will surely miss them on my Christmas dinner

[LobbyLudd]

The famous Melton Mowbray Pork Pie
- we should be filling entire container ships for the whole world to experience the joy !

Perhaps going off to Lyon is indicative? The largest British Export will be People? I also observed this morning a futher decline in the value of the pound, now at its lowest Level since more than 10 years. This may of course only be temporary.

So just a reiteration of the same tripe the Remain camp preached prior to the referendum...............
All you have done is show the remainers up for the spent force that they are.....................

[firedrake1942]

No point in even trying to speak to people with closed minds. Good luck. There must be something redeemable somewhere. You have a minor after all !

[SteveClem]

You know chaps,there were good and bad arguments made by both sides. And rightly or not we ,as a nation,were asked to vote on it. So we did and now it's time to get on with it and do our best

[les]

You could argue that a closed mind is just a mind made up. I which case both sides have one,

[POMMReg]

Too much embroiled for a FULL Brexit, muddy waters & kick it into the long grass, a European Chilcot Enquiry of sorts, as for "Sovereignty", when have "we" ever had this?

Schopenhauer DID have a point!

[les]

Just because we think I don't necessarily think we are.

[firedrake1942]

That was Descartes! (Oh can't mention him he was from Europe)

[SteveClem]

Philosophers and thinkers say great things that we all enjoy. At the moment I suggest that we need practical people that can negotiate a reasonable deal.
And perhaps the rest of us need to be stoical?
Oops, back to philosophy.....
