Next? Next comes keeping all the promises and fulfilling all the wishes made in the lead up to Brexit. Tick-tock...the clock is ticking and there is a big list to check off.

Well, I know you love to wallow in such delicious irony.

My point exactly. You have no idea what you are talking about, yet you are doing so anyway.

How people vote, and how governments treat them are two different matters entirely.

Its not like you to grossly underestimate a complicated situation with lasting ramifications...

Depends who decides who constitutes what an undesirable is. You might find yourself on a few peoples list...

Nothing like a good cleanse of the "undesirables" eh Rog.

Oh I imagine that will be smooth sailing. We hold all the cards apparently.

As long as those are well to do rich people.

Really? "A boat in the morning" is that best you can manage?

Or you will. Funny how this "wait and see" thing works.

And yet you bought into the whole Brexit scam. Not a glowing endorsement of your "bullshit smell" skills.

I'm talking about the actual Project Fear, not the made up one Brexiteers went all snowflakey for. You know, Farage and his bill board, The "EU army will quell dissent", Turkey will join the EU, etc, etc You are so deep into the propaganda, you can't even smell what you're standing in.

Ironic coming from the biggest believe of Project Fear. Yes, and it has been since the early 2000's. Jeremy Hunt has been laying the ground work for the carving up of the NHS for some time now. Well, I am willing to be proved wrong, but I fear by the time we realise it isn't, it will be too late. Soothsaying 101.

Once they have a taste, do you honest think its going to end well for either A: the NHS consumer or B: the US pharmaceutical industry or C: the US pharmaceutical industry and the fledgling UK health insurance industry that will rise up from the ashes of the NHS? And you continue to peddle ludicrous hopes and dreams. Which would seem the more cautious way to do trade?

1. There is documented and publicly available proof that the US wants the NHS on the table. 2. You can't say for certain that the UK is not going to be desperate for trade deals after the 31st. Especially when you look at how things are right now... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47213842

Only a Brexit cultist would think that the Brexit is going to be good for the NHS. It won't be reformed, it will be gutted and sold off piece by piece.

The NHS has been ultimately doomed for almost 15+ years since Jeremy Hunt set his sights on it. Brexit is just going to speed things along.

It is if the US want it on the table for the "best deals" we were promised. And if things are looking bleak after December, desperate times may call for desperate deals.

No teeth gritting here. And yes we will have the NHS after exit. But for how long and in what form is the question. Yet another uncertainty for the Brexit faithful to potentially defend in the years to come.

I think the Huawei news is fantastic. Anything that pisses off Trump makes me happy. And yes, if we had acquiesced to US pressure on the matter, it would have further cemented the theory that America is waiting to pick us off once we move away from the herd (goodbye health service and hello no food standards). The same with the Tech Tax. I think it is great news that we are attempting to take to task the seemingly untouchable tech companies. It may bite us all in the arse when we are paying £50 a month subscriptions for Faceache or Twatter, but I think the world would probably be better off without them (although I will miss my Amazon Prime subscription...). It is an added bonus that it sticks one finger up to the Spams.

He is a lame mule now. Farage has no political capital to trade on. Trump will be screening that nobody so hard now a days.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-51283059 "The UK has decided to let Huawei continue to be used in its 5G networks but with restrictions, despite pressure from the US to block the firm. The Chinese firm will be banned from supplying kit to "sensitive parts" of the network, known as the core. In addition, it will only be allowed to account for 35% of the kit in a network's periphery, which includes radio masts. And it will be excluded from areas near military bases and nuclear sites." So we're pissing on America's chips by: Letting Huawei into our 5G network setup...despite America telling us not to We're going ahead with the "Tech Tax"...despite America telling us not to Add to this Boris's comments on the Harry Dunn situation...remind me again, why America are going to give us the best deals?

Having served relatively recently compared to most claiming service on this forum, I certainly don't see "heroes" as the correct term for the armed forces. Yes, without doubt, some commit heroic acts to save the man next to them (that comes with the territory of being in the shit and only having your mates to look out for you and visa versa), but labelling the whole of the armed forces as heroes is jingoistic nonsense. They are, for want of a better term, victims. Victims of the nonsense conflicts they are dropped into for bullshit reasons, victims of the horrific injuries (both mental and physical) and victims of a nation that hails them as heroes when they are in the Middle East protecting our/US oil interests, but then cast them into the street once they have served their purpose. I actual advise against a career in the armed forces nowadays. The training and life experience is priceless but the bullshit that goes with it these days far out weighs the positives.
