REFERENDUM RESULTS AND DISCUSSION THREAD

[leedswolf]

To be fair, ‘We’re a Country that’s going down the pan’ has about as much substance to it as the £350m bus.

Pretty much similar to as Nero 'fiddled' when Rome burned or when Marie Antoinette suggested 'Let them eat cake'.

To be fair, ‘We’re a Country that’s going down the pan’ has about as much substance to it as the £350m bus.

It's not though is it? We're the slowest growing economy in G7, corporates are announcing job losses left, right and centre, the NHS can't recruit for shit because EU applications are down by 90%, race related hate crime is up, we've got a PM that wouldn't be able to sack a minister if he pissed through her letterbox and we're still no closer to even knowing what brexit fucking looks like. The mystery box people voted to open is just a note pointing to another fucking mystery box

Well Unilever, a business that's been based in Liverpool for about 125years or so is about to move to Holland. They turn over £8bn so that's a shit tonne of corporation tax right there going up in smoke, not to mention the inevitable job losses. That's because of Brexit. I would say that's a really shit thing to happen and has more substance to it than a fucking sign on a bus behind three absolute lamb cannons.

The thing is that I could refuse to accept the referendum result given the amount of laws that the Leave campaign broke, notwithstanding the sheer amount of lies they told. Some of all that will possibly see Aaron Banks in jail one day. It'd be no loss. Maybe Farage might follow him.

But I do accept it. That was the vote, as stupid as it was to call a referendum to solve an internal party conflict, and as stupid as it is to ask a binary question regarding a complex issue.

I do not accept the fact that this absolute fucking shower of a Government activated Article 50 for no reason and have done NOTHING since. I mean literally nothing. The clock has been ticking since the day we took that foolhardy, perhaps irreversible step. We are not one step further forward since that day.

This is not a football game. There are no "sides". There is no "you lost". Even if there were, imagine cheerleading Aaron Banks FFS. A racist toad of a man. But no. We're all fucked because of this disaster.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Imagine this scenario. Jeff Shi addresses the fans following today's E&S article where doubt has been shed on whether we're buying many more players.

He asks the supporter base - as wide as you can go, including people who haven't even watched us on TV for years - "Should Wolves spend more money this season? Yes or No".

Yes wins, obviously. They have all the arguments in their favour.

Jeff then says we're going to spend £500m this summer. We're going to bring in 20 players. They're all going on massive five year deals. "We can't afford this", say any fans who have any grasp whatsoever of football financials.

Jeff says "The people voted for this and so we are doing it". No logic to it. Just a soundbite. Repeated over and over and over. Disagree and you're a cunt who wants Wolves to fail.

I imagine it would go down brilliantly as we catapulted towards bankruptcy inside three years.

First one is not true.

I’ve only seen job loses announced in retail sector which has nothing to do with Brexit.

Not sure the rest shows the the UK is going down the pan, although I agree none of them are great.

Although they have categorically said it has nothing to do with Brexit?

 

[Penk Wolf]

By the way, I’m not says Brexit is a good thing, but I’m also not going to Hyperbole it either.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Just as well as there are literally no good aspects to it.

Imagine having the best possible deal you could get from the EU - rebates, opt outs on Schengen/the Euro etc, having powers to restrict migration that you never use - then throwing that away and having to beg for a much worse deal and into the bargain throwing into question the concept of Irish peace, which took us decades to sort out in the first place.

Imagine what a genius you would have to be to cook that scheme up.

Rolls Royce announced 4600 redundancies.

At this moment I don't think any business would come out and cite Brexit because they'd be labelled "puppets of project fear" and all the rest of the hostility thrown at people who pass any comment other than "full steam ahead".

 

[Tony Towner]

RR wasn't because of Brexit. They have been fat at middle management levels for years and that's where the majority of the cuts are going to be.

 

[Johnny75]

Employees say different.

 

[Lord Knows]

Sky Sources say Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and former Prime Minister David Cameron met on the eve of the cabinet meeting at Chequers and agreed Theresa May's vision for the UK's future relationship with the EU was "the worst of both worlds"

JLR have.

I caught up with an acquaintance of mine who works in tyre distribution. Theyve closed the offices he works at and relocated the functions to the Netherlands, a bunch of people were made redundant. Thankfully he still has a job but is now home based.

I'm not saying Brexit is directly responsible but it's sure as hell a factor

Couldn't give a f*** about what David Cameron thinks - he's the bast*** who got in this mess in the first place! And as for Theresa May - I'll run out of asterisks!

 

[Paul]

Can we just make a resolution from now on, unless a particular business downturn is directly attributed to brexit we don't mention it, people are losing their jobs and people on here are using it for political gratification, which is basically all it is, it's going to be a shit storm we know. I didn't ask for it, nor did most on here. I've read a least three or four occurances on here that people have decided is due to it with no actual proof or statement from the people involved, we dont kneed 'puppets of projected fear', they're already here !

 

[Johnny75]

I have proof there's job losses due to Brexit.
