Indeed, human nature is strange..Brexit is cutting off the nose to spite the face..
I don't envy Theresa May's position at all, she was a Remainer and yet has to deliver an impossible result. The voting public was seduced into thinking it will be easy to go back to the past and maintain its separation from the continent. Playing hardball with "no deal better than a bad deal" and threatening security breaches did not help.
It's like the Donald too, America just got tired and said "Eff it all, let's throw a curveball to the whole mix!".
The world has become more dangerous, sanity has taken a back seat and we are all on a trackless roller coaster ride.
Just look at all the signs...bit coin rising, climate change, Paul Newman Daytona....
Dear oh dear....
Here's hoping adults will take charge in 2018.
Clearly nothing has changed much in 100 years..
Spending £50bn to leave the world’s biggest single trading area, so we can negotiate an inferior relationship with.......err....... the same trading area. All in pursuit of a ‘sovereignty’ we never lost. ...
This is hilarious
Human nature my friend. Haven’t you noticed that we habitually change things for almost no reason?
Plenty of reasons, my friend.
Unfortunately most, if not all in the case for Brexit, are illogical. ...
Having looked at that deal
the guy in the cartoon above would also be loosing his leg
Much like corporate world isn’t it
Merger then split then merger and the cycle goes on. Cheers PAt

+2!! and still hilarious
there where rumors of a BA series 5 - set in the 60's - but nothing transpired :-( Cheers. G.
Political posts appropriate for this site?
I don't think so. Although I am English I have no strong views either way about leaving or staying in Europe. But I feel strongly that this site is not the right platform for political discussion. Members operate in a cordial spirit around a subject that ...
Thanks Colin - but it’s hopefully a forum for the odd joke
politically derived or otherwise? I did & do not intend to go deep into the politics on this subject or indeed any other - preferring the humour (even if it is of the gallows variety). Trust I have not offended or err’d from the forum rules. Regards. ...
You certainly did violate the rules of the Forum.
But a little violation never hurt anyone. Almost. Depending.
Dont even get me started on ECB...The politicians, lobbyists, and their beaus have discovered a way..No price discovery, no risks and all tomfoolery.
Infact, $50B sounds petty compared to the stunt US is going to pull.
More a cultural post than a political from me: I would go even further than "no changes in 100 years" ...
Maybe 200 years or even 3 - to 400 years. But do not get me wrong: I liked the other 50% of Brits a lot, when I was leaving there and the UK is a fantastic country to live in, if you can afford it ...
Well - it was circa 100 yrs since the joke ;-)
But I get your drift! The UK and Scotland in particular have been a good home - yet it’s wet and often cold climate makes me increasingly yearn for a warmer & drier home.
