REFERENDUM RESULTS AND DISCUSSION THREAD

[leedswolf]

Sheffield for,Europe:

Billionaire industrialist and Brexit fanatic sir Jim Ratcliffe has recognised the failure of his pet project- and joined the “Brexit has failed because of how it was carried out” school of thinking, rather than accepting that the whole idea of abandoning the country’s biggest trading partners was inherently flawed.

He is highly critical of the deindustrialisation of the UK which he rightly says is hurting the north of England most, yet chose to build his new Grenadier range of 4x4 cars in the European Union, in France, inside the single market and customs union, in the eurozone and Schengen and apparently can’t see the hypocrisy in what he has done. The cars were originally scheduled to built in south Wales but plans changed as the UK left the EU.

He apparently welcomes a change of government with Keir Starmer, which suggests to us that he doesn’t actually believe it will be a proper change of government, just swapping one lot of pro Brexit policies for another set of pro Brexit policies

 

[Wellen Wolf]

Typical thick, uncivilised, money grabbing, power grabbing, condescending and insecure tory.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Jim Ratcliffe is a cunt.

I get a sense of deja vu but reading this. Didn’t Dyson do and say similar? Pair of shirt fronts!

I'll have you know I've never been and never will be a tory...

The strange story of the French town that snubbed Britain by removing the Union Flag (it's only the Union Jack when flown at sea) from their bunting to celebrate D Day, celebrating D Day with bunting including the Union Flag

 

[Wellen Wolf]

haha.

Sheffield for Europe;

From the Daily Telegraph. You really couldn’t make this stuff up, could you? Advocating moving to France to avoid all that UK red tape - from the very paper that pushed for Brexit ending our freedom of movement and forcing all that additional red tape on us...

 

[Wellen Wolf]

Thanks Leedswolf. That report sums up tories. They will always misrepresent, lie and abuse for their narrow selfish interests.

Cunts

 

[Del Woppio]

I think I read earlier it's part of a 15,000 strong global job cut progam (haven't clicked the link as cba)

Yep, it's part of a global cut to reduce some of the 15k total workforce. 1k out of 3.5k cut to the UK operation.

Always good to see the UK having something in common with the channel islands

I thought with all this Brexit malarkey we were gonna get blue passports: just got my new one and it's black! How disappointing.

Mine was blue, it looks a bit cheap and nasty compared to my old EU one.

I think it is meant to be blue. It is black. How can Brexiteers tolerate it? They won, and now not only are we not keeping black people out, they have even taken over our passports... photo below includes something ACTUALLY blue for reference...

 

[leedswolf]

I renewed mine in 2020 and opted for a maroon (burgundy) one.
