What gets me in any of these threads where Brexit is concerned is that whenever a pro-EU opinion (facts are different) is shared, there are the usual suspects who slavishly lap it up as if it were fact. The usual woop-woop, and trophies and likes and loves. Any pro UK opinion is rapidly shot down - usually with citations from the Guardian or other openly pro-EU rags. There are similar patterns evolving on most social networks. Free speech is welcomed, but only if it comes from the left. Yesterday I read about the so-called 'Caroline's law': https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-51710897 No doubt, it will only apply to the left. Anyone who is anything to the right of the hard left is openly called racist, bigoted, fascist, etc. The same applies here. Any pro-Brexit, or pro-UK comments are slammed. It doesn't seem very British. It doesn't seem very patriotic. I'm sorry I even opened this thread up. I should learn. But, here's a fact. On the 31st January 2020, we left the EU. That is done. No EU flag waving will change that now. Personally, the more I hear about the EU, the more desperate I am for June. But that's my personal feeling. I'll let you carry on with your EU flag waving. Enjoy.

There's no evidence, just an opinion, and you propose it as if it were fact. And, as usual, anything that is even the remotest bit pro-EU, it's lapped up by the usual one-eyed members.

Poor Ken and Lee. Did I pop your bull-tish bubble?

Oh dear Lady Ela-bore.... Can you cite and prove how our data will be less secure? Is this just your concern? If you ever cared to open up any web page in the last few years, and especially since the GPDR rules came into play (thanks EU), and selected a little choice that told you who was using your data, I dare say you would be shocked. You are being monitored and mapped on every web page you visit. Try it next time. There are literally hundreds of data-farming companies that map you. But anyway, please cite some facts.

To terrorists/criminals? Are you making excuses or statements? Can you cite where the GC would overrule a deportation situation?

You see, I'm perfectly fine with deportation, because: Terrorism, or wanting to stab, shoot or blow up masses of people isn't for the public good. Especially when their (the public's) only crime is that they are residents of this Country and have different ideals. So my take on it would be that as soon as someone gets a sniff that someone is up to no good, they're out. They can't feign ignorance, they surely know what they're up to, so they can be shown the door as far as I'm concerned. Why should I then have to pay my taxes for surveillance, courts, prisons, de-radicalisation schemes when their only aim is to kill me?

So what's the magic solution? And you're correct, but you certainly can deport someone that wasn't born here and that's a non-UK national.

Maybe he's afraid to use the words Islam or deportation?

What do you snort before you write such contrived pathetic trash? Honestly? If you can open your bloodshot eyes a little, can you read back to yourself what you wrote? Apart from the fact that it's so blindingly obvious that it's purely put there to aggravate, it's also completely contradictory. You say 'today' in one breath then mention 'another 11 months' in another. You seem to gloat at the fact that we actually have to pay to get out of this awful institution. You revel that this is some kind of punishment, that we're naughty and have to bribe our way out. Lastly, there's the old chestnut again that apparently, according to you, we will automatically and permanently sever ties with European counterparts and no longer have any financial partnership with them. Ever. That we will just stop trading with them and they with us. The VWs, Audis, MBs, et al will be happy not to sell us their stuff any more. They'll stop selling to us nasty British and be all the better for it. But guess what? We're out! YOU lost. This is the day you kept telling us would never happen. Sorry, but.... actually, no, I'm not.

Thank you, and you too. I'm feeling very positive about the future. I do love this country and I will do all I can to make it better.

What's the difference between a leaver and a Brexiter?

Less than 12hrs now. I can't wait. What a day. Bought the whole family some coins, got some souvenir newspapers.... Better than a royal wedding!

@Lee, are you actually Terry Christian? https://youtu.be/YOagvfIpD38

I'm afraid your answer will be viewed as racist by some here.

Oh dear, here we go. Never mind, I thought I was talking to a logical person. Let's stop.

Pathetic answer. Just for a laugh, try answering the analogy. What would you tolerate?

Oh, that old chestnut. Anyone that wants to moderate immigration is a racist. I've had my rant before, but the basics are that I'm OK with immigration, but if the guest disrespects the hosts, then they are no longer welcome. The analogy would be: what would you reasonably allow in your own home? If you invited someone in (even if you needed them) would you allow them to disrupt your household, change how you live, try it on with your wife, fiddle with your children? What would you tolerate and when would you tell them to get out?

Even the press say BJ isn't the same BJ they knew before. There is respect growing for the man... if you'd care to listen or put your copy of the Guardian down for a minute. And it's the EU that's scared. We were one of their biggest contributors. I voted out and I voted Conservative (actually, where I lived it wouldn't have made a lick of difference if I voted LibDems or labour 2000 times). I'm going to go out and buy a mug, a teatowel and frame a 50 pence piece.

Well, there you have it. On the eve of our last day in the European Union, you still don't seem to understand why people voted. It was not all about the money. I know that's what the press and some kept dwelling on, but for many voters, it wasn't about the money. They'll take the hit in order to be free of what has become quite a undesirable Federalist regime. But the money keeps being swung in front of people's faces like a hypnotists watch. We were continually told how worse off financially we would be, how Britain won't cut it in the real world, that there was "A special place in Hell" (how condescending) etc. But all you need to do is listen to the people interviewed pre and post election. It wasn't all about the economy and the money. It was more. People felt like they were being had, and they saw an opportunity to be out. The polls tell the rest of the story. ....And God bless Nigel Farage. Without him this wouldn't have happened. He brought awareness to what was happening in the cushy halls of Brussels and how we were gradually being pushed into the background whilst the EU delved ever deeper into our pockets and our waters. If you care to listen to him on LBC, you'll find the man is pretty well straight up. I don't know of any other Politicians that do a radio show and actively talk to the electorate almost daily. He takes the smack downs with the pats on the back in equal measure.

You mean the robot tending, button pushing, stand-clear-of-the-guard, wait for the green light/chime individuals?

Goddamn Brexit!!! https://www.carscoops.com/2020/01/nissan-contemplates-cutting-4300-white-collar-jobs-closing-two-plants/

I think that picture needs correcting...

Ummm, no, I wasn't asking for that. But GTFO is the sort of reply that sadly I find a little unsurprising.

Trying to recall..... Who was the EU dude that said, "when you're out, you're OUT!"? Was it Guy Verhofstadt?

Apparently some sad people won't even allow themselves to handle and use those coins.
