European Union: In or Out ?

Reg  

I'm afraid that willful misunderstanding has characterised the pronouncements of our Remainiac friends, almost from the moment the 2016 Referendum result announcing they had lost, sent them into a 'toys out of the pram' frenzy from which they're yet to recover. 'Ah, so you along with the majority voted to Leave ? So that obviously means you wish to stay in the Customers Union, stay in the Single Market, and after we've given a new name to a host of other old agreements we had with the EU, we can sign back up to those as well '

And however much anyone tries to explain that we voted 'Leave' in order to actually free ourselves from all those EU restrictions, their determination to misunderstand hasn't wavered from that day to this. Three years down the line, and your Remainer masters are still working day and night to get you out of the EU, but somehow can't quite seem to manage it....yeah right ! 


And now we examine the results of a multi party election, in which the Brexit Party romp home as clear winners, yet our Remainiac mates seem to read some result into it comparable to a one question, one issue, 'yes or no' choice Referendum. In fact they've even read the tea leaves votes and discovered signs of a call for a 'Confirmatory Vote' ..... sheer genius !  Complete codswallop, as they actually well know, Reg.Yet if willful misunderstanding again brings some much needed comfort to Remainers, then lets not pull that rug out from beneath them too forcefully. We want to be compassionate Leavers, surely.

At the beginning of last week I walked about half a mile down the lane from Alpine Towers to get a dozen free range eggs. I do this a couple of times a month and generally have a chat with the Eco Loon woman and her daughter who keep the hens on their land. Mum wants cars banned, and global warming stopped before it melts the polar bears. Daughter has heard a Scandinavian schoolgirl on TV, announcing that the world might come to an end before Torquay get chance to kick off the new season in the National League. Both Mother and daughter told me they'd be voting Green. Neither would recognise a Confirmatory Vote if they tripped over one. Both more or less recognise the drunk bloke that leads the EU when he's on the telly, but have no strong views on EU membership one way or the other, and didn't vote in the 2016 Referendum.

Looking at the surveys, particularly amongst younger people, and it is the environment and 'climate change', all the more so since the Blessed Greta was over here preaching, that are their main concern. You've got a Green vote of not far short of 20% for the South West region on Thursday. It just can't be accurate to equate that with the votes cast for a single issue Party such as the one Farage heads. Who's to say that they weren't mostly 'Greta' inspired climate change fearing, tree huggers, convinced global warming will kill them before their next birthday ? Any Brexit thoughts may be very much secondary, or even non existent. In fact wouldn't the fully committed 'Bollocks To Brexit' brigade have prioritised the LibDems as recipients of their vote on Thursday ?

From 2016 Referendum Day onward, the determination to read something other than the plain request of the people, has been a regular theme of the Remainiac approach to Brexit. Ask for 'Leave', they'll do all they can to bring you 'Remain'. A stunning Brexit Party victory, that'll mean you're demonstrating your undying love for the EU !  It's all part of the new 'Brexit Interpretation' rules introduced immediately after 23rd June 2016, Reg. Get used to them, they'll be around for some time yet.

Some more amusing unadulterated nonsense Alpine, but I did like the beer deal image so have copied it to use

Daily Express. You are a wag.

Normally I would agree with that but after the turmoil of the last 3 years this election was a single issue vote that being whether we leave the European Union or reconsider.

The figures I quoted earlier which Reg did not understand were accurate and related to the South west Region only.

Nationally it is as a share of the vote: Those parties which support a 2nd referendum (Lib Dem / Greens / Labour / Change UK) 49%; Those who want to leave with or without a deal (Brexit Party / UKIP) 35%.

I have not included the Cons as they are a very divided party and although their official stance is to leave deal or no deal within the party there are many opposed to that, and if I did include them in the above figures I would also have to include the SNP which would balance it out as they are a remain party.

All very interesting and I have never watched so many news programmes and documentaries as I have in the last 3 years.

I shall miss it when it is all over!

Except we will have to spend the £350 million a week saved on the unemployment benefits for all the workers who worked for companies reliant on trade with Europe.

Not sure that rag even backed Britain without their preferred leader Oswald Moseley and his fascists against Nazi Germany, did it? And Littlejohn? For heaven’s sake, Reg, you’re not helping yourself.
