This is a thread for Remoaners and the occasional Brexiteer troll. Let's keep it that way, Vegans and carnivores please start your own thread(s).
Diffrent flags though ain't it binners, the union Jack going to lose a lot of it's meaning amongst all the saltires, dragons and crosses.
I can hear the chants already:
"We're England and Wales....we're England and Wales....f*** of Scotland (and everyone else)...We're England and Wales.
EDIT:
And don't forget Cameron chose to stage the referendum right in the middle of Euro 2016, much to Putin's delight.
Daz, mate… It’s not cheese
What about beer? Is beer without fish in it not real beer? You'd best get used to all this cos I confidently predict that within our lifetimes meat and dairy products will be hard to find in the supermarket.
Almost all beers are vegan.
The only non-vegan thing that goes in them is Isinglass (a clarification agent/fining made from the gall bladders of some tropical fish). However, it's not very cost effective and there are a lot more modern finings/filtration aids around that have nothing to do with animals. Isinglass is only really used in small real ale brewery cask beers these days.
Daz... calling things ‘cheese’ when no milk is involved is like calling these abominations ‘crisps’ when no spuds are involved.
Once I’m running the world, there will be re-education camps and public flogging to put a stop to this type of thing.
I’m still toying with the idea of internment for militant, lefty vegan anarchists too, but I’m undecided on this at the moment
I’ll keep you posted
It’s massively improved the last couple of years, probably as a result of the investment from the big supermarkets. Morrison’s own brand stuff is better than most. TBH much like coffee, I never was a cheese snob, so as long as it melts and tastes vaguely cheesish I’m happy
Never a cheese snob? I'd suggest that you've never eaten decent cheese served at room temp.
With work I use to stay at a dodgy motel in the middle of France (Chateauroux) that had a silver-server restaurant attached. The cheese course was from a Cheese Grotto, no butter and certainly no crackers, eaten with a knife & fork.
“We’re England and Wales….we’re England and Wales….f*** of Scotland (and everyone else)…We’re England and Wales.
Hmm, no singer of English jingoistic chants is ever going to think of Wales - hardly anyone does. If you read the Scottish Indy threads you'd think that only two countries were involved. NI at least gets airtime these days.
I think I preferred it when the union flag was hijacked by the BNP back in the day.
At least those ***** weren't in a position of power.

A cheese grotto? What witchcraft is this? If you could send me the details please fella, that’s my first post-Covid foreign trip sorted 😃

Frankly, I’m appalled. What kind of monster are you?
WiI’ve just had a horrible thought. We’ve a major international football tournament coming up in the summer.
I'm sure 'our patriotic lads' will represent our new-found national brexity 'pride' by getting pissed up, beating up a few innocent bystanders then running away when the Po-Po turn up.
Daz will then be along to excuse them because, poor lambs, they're just raging against 'the system'.
😴
There'll always be an England etc...
Molgrips, you obviously didn't watch any of Euro 2016 then, that was the chant adopted by supporters when attacked by the 'official delegation' of Russian hooligans, who had been sent by Putin to cause trouble with English fans in order to exploit divisions within the EU in relation to Brexit.
Ergo the stupidity of holding a referendum concerning nationality in the middle of an international football tournament, where nationalist feelings will always be at their peak.
Molgrips, you obviously didn’t watch any of Euro 2016 then
I watched the football, not the violence!
Binners - I can top the cheese grotto - in central france there is a cheese trail like a nature trail but every stop is more cheese 🙂 We got some fine goats cheese covered in black hairy mold!
if your cheese does not move around on its own its not proper cheese
I have said on here before that i live in Rishis constituency and all his local propaganda makes no mention of the Tory party. He has distanced himself from Boris Hancock etc a long time ago he us a shoe in as the next PM, i have my doubts about his abilities... he has yet to demonstrate any new approaches or radical soloutions to the structural economics of the UK and has done nothing other than recycle old thinking and chuck cash at redwall **** holes.
There is a pattern to his approach which mainly appears to be buying good will with other peoples money. He has targeted his tax take on SMEs and left the big boys and poor folks alone.
I doubt he has the ability or the advisors to actually make any real long term positive change. Like Boris its the job title he is after, we should not forget that his Father in Law Murthy would be delighted if Rishi got the top job as this provides a whole world of political leverage.
His Richmondshire seat is 99.9% safe, he was put there for a reason. Although he is not particularly well liked locally he will always get voted back in.
I would just like to say during the last election he was subject to some pretty serious racism locally and bear in mind this is an upper middle class farming area.
So he does know what he is courting electorate wise.

Price worth paying.
On a riders group of which I am a member (maybe even a country member) a fairly innocent post has been jumped on by a couple of Brexity members. The OP is just saying he is chuffed that he has finally got his GX mech (ordered from the Netherlands in Jan) even though it was held up due to Brexit.
One poster has confidently claimed it is 'nowt to do with brexit' as 'SRAM is a US company'. I've just pointed out that the nationality of the ownership of a company is pretty irrelevant next to the location of their:
1. Entire supply chain.
2. Internal operations.
3. Distribution network.
I'm waiting for the next try. Will it be:
1. It is due to covid and you can't prove otherwise.
2. We could make all the stuff we need here if we wanted to.
3. **** off you smug elitist prick and if you ever challenge me again I'll smash your face in.
?
To be honest, I hope he goes for '3' as it saves time.
To be fair other than a delay in shipping of around 1 week there's really no other Brexit impact on his gx mech. The VAT rules that we imposed on ourselves that might have been the cause of a delay if the Netherlands company was selling to someone they no longer should have been were both self inflicted but also an EU rule. So really it has nowt specific to do with Brexit, but not because they're a US company of course.
Tbh the question that should be being asked is why he’s buying from the Notherlands,when sram has official distributors in the U.K.
Is it the price 🙂 or they can’t be arsed to hold stock ?
Course a forward thinking country wouldn’t have vat on bicycle parts as bicycles are good for the environment and the populations health.
Is it the price 🙂 or they can’t be arsed to hold stock ?
I think it was stock availability at that specific time that led him to buy from Mantel in the Netherlands.
The simple fact remains that Brexit has made us more difficult to deal with as a country. That is going to have a bad knock-on effect in terms of prices, availability of products and jobs. To have true believers immediately assert that it can't possibly be due to their religion just gets me rubbing my hands.
Oooh, just saw a notification flash up - might have got a bite. Back in a bit...
Whenever I’ve bought sram or rockshox in the past, I have had to order from Germany. Same goes for Maxxis as it happens. Having a UK distributor does not mean the UK has stock. As I keep saying, small home market doesn’t just mean higher prices, it makes it much harder to get parts. Not just a mountain biking thing either, true for spares and parts in all sorts of sectors.
Oooh, just saw a notification flash up – might have got a bite. Back in a bit…
Fight, fight, fight!
Fight, fight, fight!
Not worth it, I'm afraid.
He insists the Beeb and Guardian are making stuff up as says I'll be 'quoting Owen Jones next'.
A bit of FB research reveals his last few photos and posts are:
1. A Nigel Farage 'expose' on 'who is really staying at this 4 star hotel' with Farage looking out of his car window at some brown people.
2. A photo of him mockingly punching a statue of a hare.
3. A close up of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
I reckon we're going to be onto threats pretty soon...
Oooh.
He's typing something right now...
Odds on an insult or a threat...
Bah!
He's tried to backtrack by saying he was just pointing out two facts - that SRAM is a US company and there is a global shortage of bike parts. Despite his comment being in response to someone specifically saying they had had to wait for a part and that the supplier explicitly said it was due to Brexit. And that he also stated, confidently, that it wasn't due to Brexit and so the supplier must be lying.
He had a final poke at me about ideology. I responded by saying I should know better than to argue with a true believer about their religion. I hope he explodes in a shower of gammony rage, but I reckon he's probably too thick.
Disappointing outcome.

Don’t know who you’re writing about but this is straight out of Monty Python.
Are we there yet? Haven’t we always been?

He a knucklehead on a bike owners group I frequent.
Well, clever, witty types like the Pythons have always taken the piss out of thickos - so it is inevitable this has been 'done before' in some regard.
I just noticed, by the way, that he dismissed covid by referring to it as 'the flu' in one of his posts.
Just another run of the mill ****wit it seems.
He's been drawn back in by someone else picking up the cudgels and is now resorting to saying he is 'sipping from his pint of salty losers tears'.
I reckon he can be driven into a carpet chewing racist rant with a bit of gentle prodding.
<Rubs hands together>

I wonder if there is a parallel thread somewhere in regard to this thread? 😀
So my inlaws bought me a lovely hoodie for my birthday last month, from a company in London. It's taken nearly a month to get to the parcel holding facility a kilometer away from me. Yesterday I got a card through the door saying I can pick it up whenever I like within the next seven days before they send it back. And it can stay there, because although it's a gift, it was shipped direct and the value is over 45€. So if I want it I need to pay the tax due on the value of it and the shipping cost, and a 13€ admin fee. I'm buggered if I'm paying 25€ on top of something I never bought in the first place that would have cost me 50€ tops.
And unless any potential saving is HUGE, I won't be buying from the uK in the future.
I guess that's a Brexit bonus? Except the bonus is Europe's.

Nice oblique reference!
Just been to the shops and forgot the popcorn 😒 Await the "conversation" with interest.
He's gone quiet for now.
He posted a gif of Hello Kitty crying into a cup.
I posted a gif of a beaver crushed beneath the tree it has felled and proclaimed 'victory!' in the text.
He's probably trying to work out what it means....thick ****.
Still quiet.
Either he's gone off to kick a wall for a bit or there'll be a post from the group admins telling everyone it is a bike, not politics, group (after Mr Knuckledragger has gone squealing to them about 'bullying' or something)...🙄
Looking forward to hearing about this Saturday, Danny. I'm gonna log out for now as I don't want to spoil it 😉

A brief synopsis:
Brexiteer asserted something that was obviously bollocks.
Brexiteer got challenged on it.
Brexiteer got chippy about it.
Brexiteer got made to look a bit daft.
Brexiteer kept trying to backtrack whilst still having a pop.
Brexiteer got made to look progressively more stupid.
Brexiteer flounced.
The usual. You whistle it and I'll sing it.
🤷♂️
He be a 51er..
He doesn't have a clue beyond rhetoric and he finds this confusing.

Not sure what a 51er is - perhaps someone who does just enough 'thinking" to reach a conclusion then that is 'it' done forever?
Because I'm unsure, I have opted to categorise him as the more prosaic 'dipsh1t'.
Factory closing.
Warehouse Britain.
Is is the way.

The Honda Swindon deal is being held up as a Brexit success by some, less jobs and less manufacturing doesn't seem like a success to me. I guess less paperwork from not exporting stuff will save some trees?
'Fishing & NI problems affect last less than 1%'......found this quoted on Twitter as a brexit positive, I'm not sure what it means.
The Honda Swindon thing looks like exactly what the authors of Britannia Unchained would want. Even if there are MORE jobs, I'd be prepared to bet the overall wage cost is less and the overall skill level of those jobs will be less. Loss of skilled jobs and replaced by more lower paid, lower skilled, lower security (and thus more exploitable) jobs.
All those moats and duckhouses don't clean themselves.
51% voted Brexit
49% didn't
Actually
37% voted Brexit
63% didn’t
