Those people don't qualify though, right? Only people born before 1997 qualify for this, so the young people on the streets don't make the cut sadly (well, up to 24 years old). Let's hope they don't come over primed and "grateful" to the Tories though. Edited July 1, 2020 by Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42459 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Rayvin is absolutely thrumming with excitement at the prospect of boatloads of “positive and sunny” young Chinese lasses turning up here. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was insufficiently cynical about a lad named Brian who asked us to do a survey on brown rats. Hope that clears it up.

Having said that, we already enjoy visa free access to HK (if memory serves). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5223 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Why now? Why is the penny finally dropping now when we are absolutely past the point of no return. Everything said there has been transparently obvious since day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5223 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Lying coward afraid to take responsibility for his stupidity. There is no logical argument at any stage for that position. May went in ultra hard to begin with, and the "Remain politicians" turned out for her vote in sufficient numbers that if the hard-core leave politicians had joined in, she would have won. It is on them, entirely. No deal is happening only because of leavers. Remainers, no matter what they think, were deliberately made completely powerless throughout.

Renton 21632 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I don't recall there ever having been an EEA EFTA option? Fairly sure 90% of remainers could live with that, it was my preferred option over staying as it happens. May's deal was a much harder Brexit which removed FoM.

One of the indicative votes would have been something like that but lost by a couple of votes - mainly due to the Change UK and lib dems opposing it as it wasn't remainy enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
