citybiker Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 English humour is a typical thing for the U.K.. There is also the "figure of speech" thing, apparently saying something must not always be considered to the letter of it. So, it seems that "Leave" "Brexit" can now be considered as "English Humour" or/and "A figure of speech". Slight correction only as an observation.‘British’ humour comes in various guises.Irrespective of where a Brit is globally the only thing typical is many of our overseas friends & cousins may struggle with banter, flippancy, dark humour (MoD) & slang without asking questions.

People are so tied up in the today they are just not interested in the tomorrow. Once out of the EU, what then? The great US trade deal, but what if the US insist that any trade deal must include ISDS, where does that leave the UK? How about a referendum to join the EU.

I suspect we will have have a crack at something along the Keynesian model; maybe make a few things and sell them, provide a few services and then buy stuff we need from others - including European countries.

The UK has made as good, if not better, transition as many other economies in moving to a post-industrial economy. The pre-eminence of the City is but one example. However...what the Hard Brexiteers have fraudulently tried to represent is a promised return to industrial production, the demise of which, as everything else, has been blamed on EU membership. Appealing to the uneducated and old, resentful at being left behind in a knowledge economy, the appeal of dead-end populism still attractive to some. Sent from my SM-N935F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app The City has been pre-eminent for a lot longer than the EU has existed. The rest of this is false accusation and fabrication, indicating severe frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
