OUT WITH A DEAL EATING OUR CAKE AND LOVING IT suck it up remoaners
And like a typical anti democracy remoaner he decided the will of the people should be ignored the minute the democratic result was in total fecking hypocrite 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Despite it being voted in to law by the commons the spineless two faced remoaner MPs have totally abandoned any morals and decided to ignore the will of the British people.
It will be remembered and no election or referendum will ever be the same again in this country.
The one thing that will come is a massive surge in the popularity of UKIP or a similar party in the future who stand for the 52%.
Happy Days.

A little stubborn if nothing else.
Most of the time, you'll want affect as a verb meaning to influence something and effect for the something that was influenced. The difference between affect and effect is so slippery that people have started using "impact" as a verb instead. Don't be one of them! Another trick is to remember that affect comes first alphabetically, and an action (to affect) has to occur before you can have a result (an effect).
As I said before Lisa's actions ere the affect and the effect was people leaving.

Yes. I was just a tad during the war and have a few vague memories that may be false but what I remember vividly is how after the announcement of VE Day on the radio everybody rushed out onto the street to celebrate shouting not “We won the war” but “The war is over, the war is over”.
It should remain over.
Absolutely right. There’s a tendency to romanticise the war - somehow seeing it as our ‘glory days’. No one in their right mind should want a return to that time.
The thought of air raid sirens being used in some sort of cultish rave over Brexit is sickening.

Choosing between affect and effect can be scary. Think of Edgar Allan Poe and his RAVEN: Remember Affect Verb Effect Noun. You can't affect the creepy poem by reading it, but you can enjoy the effect of a talking bird. "Lisa had an affect on the populace the effect was that they left in large numbers " (tongue in cheek of course)
Affect is a verb. Effect is a noun. (Can be a verb but has a different meaning so let’s ignore that for now).
Lisa is affecting ‘x’ is correct. As ‘affecting’ is the verb in that sentence.
Lisa is having an effect on ‘x’ is correct.
In the second sentence the verb is ‘to have’. The word ‘effect’ is a noun. Evidenced by there being ‘an’ in front of it. Putting ‘wonderful’ in that sentence, as in ‘Lisa is having a wonderful effect on ‘x’’ doesn’t change the verb or noun. It’s simply adding an adjective.
Pork is notoriously difficult to educate. Brexiter, see.
As a public exhibition of everything that is wrong with brexit (completely stupid and inaccurate information, misunderstood and doubled down on when palpably wrong, while ignoring people that really do kmow) this is quite a nice little vignette.
Doesn't obviate the fact that the bloke, or lass, is an utter arse, of course and determined to increase the proportions of his or her utter arsery by each post.

A fine effort, it effected my mood by making me smile.
Ha, ha never read such a load of nonsense in my life. A bunch of pseudo intellectual , eu sycophantic point scorers with too much time on their hands and claiming grammatical brilliance and woe betide anyone who doesn' t come up to their self esteemed , high watermarks especially if you espouse a different opinion on Brexit . Filled to the brim with biased media reporting and salivating at the prospect of overturning a democratic decision in favour of remaining in an unelected dictatorship with the loss of our sovereign powers a collective all following the same dogma like lapdog. I bet there's a few common purpose members too. If wanting a return to an independent Britain free of EU red tape and interference makes me a psycho then there's 17 .4 million alongside me. I am sorry I don't have any sympathy with treacherous politicians who have sold our country's liberties away.Strange how something as benign as a trading organisation can 40 years later assume such gigantic control over all our lives. Mission creep or Fabianism pure and simple .

It’s not unelected. Some of the people complaining most about it being unelected spent yesterday behaving like boorish oafs in the EU parliament - they were elected to that position. They spent today not bothering to turn up when the president of the EU was elected by our elected representatives. *
* they signed in before leaving for the day, as they are required to do that to pick up their attendance allowance.

I don't really care how democratic they dress it up as the bottom line is we are taking orders from abroad . They say we do simple as and if we disagree there's nothing we can do about it , they overrule us . I don't get this E U love in . This country was more prosperous than ever in the 60 s .We've been in the E U 50 odd years and I see the same societal problems that were prevalent 20 years ago. There is still massive poverty homelessness which is exacerbated by mass immigration (something we are denied doing anything about ) We pay massive amounts in which is given to poor European nations WE are subsidising them at the expense of our own poverty stricken people . Enough is enough , 50 years is a long time I don t see a lot of progress to be honest not for the money we have invested - For that reason I am out. P's you seem a decent sort someone who listens without resorting to puerile cat calling I will give you that.

It is extremely rational (just like with ITV News featured ONS statistician) to question whether a predicted population increase the size of ten Birmingham's added on top of what has already come in will create absolute catastrophe.
Stuff like triage systems to ease pressure on NHS doctors can have negative and serious implications i.e. just like with a lady once sat beside me who suffered extreme sight loss because of a phone diagnosis 'allergy' i.e. it was shingles. With shingles its antiviral treatment ASAP.
Or that girl who featured in SWEP who was also wrongly diagnosed over the phone where a diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis was missed, that proved fatal. I can't work out why people would want a catastrophic population increase, added pressure on NHS staff and trips to 'occupational health' just so that it can satisfy 'Trendy-Wendy' virtue signalling.

The elected heads of state of the 28 countries nominates the President of the Commission and he or she is then formally elected by the EU Parliament which includes our MEPs (again, the brexit party didn’t bother).
If we disagree there’s plenty we can do about it.
So, as one fairly recent example, the EU wanted to bring in tariffs on the import of cheap Chinese steel as they were concerned it was harming our native and European production. The UK vetoed the proposal, as we wanted to be able to use cheaper product so the tariffs could not be introduced.
I agree with you regarding our societal problems, much of which stem from ever increasing inequality of opportunity. But, again, the EU attempts at least to address this issue. Wales has, for instance, received a great deal of funding from the EU as it is regarded as being in need. When we leave, the UK government has already stated this funding will not be matched. You can see, again, a recent example of the effect of this with the abandonment of the M4 improvements as a result of EU funding now being unavailable. Ironically, the UKIP (now brexit party) members of the Welsh government requested Ireland access the funding from the EU as it is needed to carry out the work.
We do pay a lot of money to the EU. But in return, we benefit many, many times over in the trade we carry out. That’s why every assessment of every leave scenario, however ‘soft’ sees a huge detrimental impact to our economy.
On the matter of immigration, as I’ve said before, immigration is a policy of our government (successive governments). We choose to bring in far more non EU migrants than EU migrants, we don’t implement controls that the EU allows over EU migrants (in relation to permanent migration but also in relation to temporary migrants), and, indeed, we’ve already announced that rules over temporary migrants will be unaffected by us leaving (anyone can come and work here for up to 3 months if they are a EU citizen, even after brexit, even if no deal).
The issue is that the EU are a convenient vehicle on which to blame unpopular UK decisions.
When we leave, if we leave, the decisions made by those most in favour of leaving (the right wing of the Conservative party and the Brexit party who are even more right wing) will not magically start helping deprived communities. They will just be able to act more freely. You’ll surely have seen the promises made by Johnson, who is likely to be the next PM. Raising the rate at which higher rate tax becomes payable, slashing corporation tax, reducing stamp duty on expensive homes.
Unfortunately there are snake oil merchants who will have you believe that they are gunning for the ‘elites’. Most of them are privately educated, independently wealthy liars who are using you for their own ends. Avoiding the new EU rules on tax etc suits them. As does reduced regulation.
Their kids are ok for opportunities of course. You can live anywhere in the world if you have over a certain amount of money.
I don’t think the EU is perfect by any means. But we are far better economically in rather than out. And despite highjack’s constant moans about why money isn’t important, unfortunately we need it to provide every public service that we have. So less money means either more tax, or less in the way of public services. Guess what Boris will go for...

But we’ve already established that long-term EU migration is a small part of population increase, plus they tend to be younger, and therefore place less strain on services, and more than pay their way through taxes.
Failures in the NHS is a domestic issue, which is why services were far better even when we had the accession of the EU8 in 2004.
I’d imagine you’re more likely to be tended to by an EU national than be stuck behind one in the queue.
It’s blatant blameism (if the grammar police will excuse me for inventing a word) and wrong.

Let people with common sense decide whether a future (God thats a lot!) population increase of TEN BIRMINGHAM'S is not going to be problematic just like it ironically has been reported in Birmingham local paper.
