This magazine's tedious political agenda.

I heard that if we vote for Brexit then the EU are going to take all the bridleways with them as part of the divorce proceedings.

As long as they don’t take all the bridies.

Much as the OP is an ill thought-out troll (or maybe some kind of agenda pushing), I must say I found it predictably hilarious that PJM1974 managed to lever in accusations of racism, sexism and misogyny.

As Blackadder may have put it:

Re-arrange these words into a sentence – shooting/barrel/fish/in/a/like.

For the record I will be voting ‘remain’. I’m not really emotionally committed either way, but to unpick all the details of our relationship with Europe and deal with them on a new basis will take DECADES to sort out and will inevitably lead to uncertainty. Uncertainty is almost always bad for the economy. If it bad for the economy it is bad for all of us.

I’ve heard UKIP are banning 29ers and 27.5 as they’re immigrant tyre sizes. All trails will have to be ridden on a rigid 26er made from steel.

dannyh, stop it, this is no time for cool headed reason, it is time for foaming at the mouth, civil war levels of hate for your neighbour and constant, constant anger that anyone might have a different opinion to you.

A lot of folk don’t realise how long it takes for major upheavals to actually manifest themselves in ‘the real world’.

Despite all the metrics that come out about ‘recovery’ I reckon we have probably only seen about half of the corporate failures that can be attributed to the 07/08 crash actually happen yet. A lot of companies may well have been insulated as part of larger groups and have subsequently been sold on and now have to stand on their own two feet – until there is not enough cash in the business to pay the next load of rents then “pop”.

British single track for British riders!

I will be henceforth appending “No 29ers, Immigrants or Dogs.” signs to all FP in my local area.

It is a little one sided. It would be better if along with the ‘might’ statements we had the counter argument ‘or it might not we just don’t know’. Some of those mights are a little stretch – #3 for instance but quite why anyone would want continentals I don’t know.

Still voting in though.

Just to show that the lines between left wing / right wing, authoritarian / libertarian etc are not as clear as many would like to believe……

Unicycles will be more expensive after Brexit[/url]

Not really a stretch to think that bike bits will be the same…

7 reasons Brexit will be good for MTB/cycling.

1/ Fewer lesser* people will be able to afford cars so more people will cycle.

2/ Travel abroad will be more expensive so UK trail centers will thrive.

3/ Locally made products will be more competitive due to lower wages and the higher cost of imports. So all those British-made parts on your bike will cost less. If the Brexit had happened years ago I might have saved 10p on the head set spacer.

4/ There won’t be any Polish plumbers to fix your central heating. You’ll have healthy freezing showers all year round and save a fortune on your gas bill that you can blow on bikes.

5/ Those French kids that organised their séjour linguistique in London will go to Dublin instead so there won’t be any of the little brats playing chicken with commuter cyclists on zebra crossings.

6/ Singletrack won’t have to worry about any silly European laws.

7/ Your boss will be able to work you harder so you’ll be too tired to ride your bike so you’ll have a lower risk of over training or over-use injuries.

Whilst entirely tongue in cheek these arguments stand up to examination a lot better than some of the Out/in propaganda.

I’m sold.

Less people will be able to afford

There’s some good irony right there.

Fewer, chap, fewer.

and look at all the good it did them…

Sort of the point I was trying to make – when it comes down to it a lot of the most vocal people are actually hypocritical when it comes to their own self-interest.

I would have also quoted Samuel Johnson if I hadn’t known it would be seized upon.

“Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel”.

What he was actually getting at was misappropriation of patriotism is the weapon of last resort for the scoundrel (but it doesn’t sound quite as snappy as the original).

In this case I think it is patriotic to vote remain – because it is the best thing for the country (and what patriot wouldn’t want that?)

and look at all the good it did them…

Indeed.

Did the right thing during the Battle of Cable Street and 40 years later let fear overcome their decency.

Bernard Kops was a young boy of 10 when Mosley and his supporters decided the best way of demonstrating their potency was to march through the heart of London’s Jewish community in Cable Street on 4 October 1936.

He says for many of the older generation of Jews, like his parents, there was a growing sense of paranoia: “My mother said there were only two types of people in the world. Jews and Jew-haters.

“Of course, when Cable Street came along the Irish labourers and dockers came out and it was them that really made sure Mosley didn’t get through.
“My mother and father really had to change their minds after that and accept that others did come to help us out.”

Or gave way to their inherent underlying prejudices.

It depends very much on how you spin that one.

Europe is the home of the white man.We are under attack from the horde in the east.
We need a strong secure homeland to protect the cradle of civilisation.
A vote In is a vote to protect the most persecuted race on the planet.
Is that right wing enough OP?

The tide of mechanisation and then globalisation made them irrelevant.

He ran over his own stomach because he had eaten three giant baked potatoes with cheese, tuna and mayonnaise.

Can we keep to the facts please.

As I’ve said before Turkey’s voting for Christmas…

1) Turkey’s largely moslem, so unlikely to vote for Christmas
2) Turkey’s not in the EU so irrelevant here

How will pedantry fare if we have a Brexit ?

Ahmm. Scaredypants.

Go back and redo your work. C minus.

🙄

C minus.

very generous!

Another take on the subject from Wide Open mag

We can have shops specifically for it if we stay in but we have to change the spelling so it’s a bit of a score draw on that front.

I’m gratified that I presented an opportunity for amusement, had I known this at the time, I’d have gone the full Godwin.

or telling you not to go to Spain.

Phew that’s a relief.

Want to come back on any of that, “Joe”?

Not to mention that the UK would be in a position to then reduce it’s VAT as it sees fit.

Except our books still don’t balance so tax cuts are unlikely (cat in hells chance).

And the UK is currently chosing to set its VAT rate 33% higher than the EU minimum (20% vs 15%), so how is removing the EU minimum going to affect anything at all?

Well put OP. Final straw for me, STW has been disappearing up its own arse for years.

Oi, Footflaps.

Leave us SSers out of this. I know we’re weird, but still. 😯

We’re more about suffering, excuses, lewd innuendo, and blatant knob gags. And drinking……

🙄

Anyone else think that ‘immigrant’ is this decades racial slur?

Brexit makes sense for Britons “especially in the light of the craziness of the migration chaos”.

Says it all really.

Do we have a flounce, going once, going twice….

It does. If Trump says yes, I say no. To anything. Odious man.
