    The positive with brexit should be:
    • Positive - not neutral - things about brexit
    • Positive for the uk, not for investors, US bankers or the EU

    Despite my experience, I'm going to have to report your post. Fat chance the decrepit mod team is going to do anything about it, but apparently that is the only thing left for me to do here.

    Report my post for what, you are replying to my post about me asking why is it ok to call someone a nazi, you are choosing not to respond to that, and now you want to report me.

    That is deflecting sunshine.

    As for the point about positives, i already mentioned 6 of them a few pages ago before i was banned.

    Yes banned Slant, to your point about the mod team doing nothing, i have received multiple infractions the last week due to the mass reporting of people like you, that refuse to answer simple questions then run to the mods.

    I am the one being insulted daily by people on this forums not you,

    #you might not like them as positives but that think tank listed them like that way, i am sorry they dont meet your strict criteria , what ever that is, but i never expected it too.

    Lucky there are 6 off them, and you guys said just list one.

    I am sure that all the traveling restrictions will force a lot of brits to holiday at home the next few years, for our tourist trade, holiday and recreational packages, entertainment, food, restaurant business, its going to work wonders yes?

    Thank you

    Is it acceptable to call someone a cunt and a nazi on this forum?

    for doing no more than asking people to list positives for brexit too, why are you so butt hurt about this, is it affecting your agenda or something.

    Just answer the question?

    I skimmed that list, I saw neutral and negative effects and that's it. I'll give you the opportunity to point out the positive aspects in that article for me, since you obviously have read it much more thoroughly than I have.

    To make sure we're talking about the same link and to save you some time:

    So it turns out you wanted to ban me for nothing, for saying i did not list anything, but i did.

    So i was not deflecting, you were hahah, you were wrong, GOOD JOB THERE .

    Now you can answer my questions about JonnySennisble calling me a Nazi.

    I am waiting and stop deflecting please.

    that was priceless haha and also no need to apologize for being in the wrong slant,


    you see how it works on this thread Slant, remember when i used that word disingenuous a while back, this is what i put up with every day on this forum. Case and point.

    After being caught out, let's see if slant doubles down or accepts he was wrong.

    I know where my money is.

    The super-strict criteria is that it should be a positive for the uk caused by brexit.

    Shocking!

    The list of "Many winners" had to include companies that weren't impacted much as positive, and also US bankers, as "winners" so that it didn't look too lop-sided.

    That media companies manage fine (including the ones that move broadcasting to the EU from the uk; as the deal doesn't full cover services and the uk used to house broadcasting for parts of the EU) isn't really a positive, and especially not a positive for the uk.

    However, let's end with the bottom line: https://www.investopedia.com/news/br...rs-and-losers/
    However, now as negotiations occur between the U.K. and its former partner, risks to the U.K. economy have never been higher. If policy makers can't strike favorable deals, the U.K. will have a new economic identity, just not the one Brexiters promised.

    I haven't seen any positive evidence coming from you. Still I am not seeing it. You are again deflecting when pressed on the issue. I feel my report is still warranted. I'm happy to retract it if you take that list you linked and pointed out the positives in it. So far, I don't feel that is a risky bet. See, my assumption is that you are lazy, simply because you keep on deflecting every single post people make and harp on about some perceived insult that I have not witnessed. That requires low effort shitposting skills at the most and that's all you do.

    However, when asked to actually back your stuff up, you seem to be unable to read beyond a headline. I want you to go INTO THE TEXT and point out the positives. If not, I'll let the bottom line from that same article stand:

    The Bottom Line
    When Britons voted to leave the EU, Brexiters campaigned on hard-line immigration and border control. Much like Trump supporters, the Brexiters felt they had lost their identity. However, now as negotiations occur between the U.K. and its former partner, risks to the U.K. economy have never been higher. If policy makers can't strike favorable deals, the U.K. will have a new economic identity, just not the one Brexiters promised.
    Which paints a pretty dark picture. Thank you for posting that link, by the way, it's a pretty decent summary of why Brexit is NOT positive. Instead of making us argue your case for you, you actually made our case for us. A tendency I noticed in Dribbles' inane ramblings as well.

    Butthurt about what? You can ask people to list positives, just don't ignore it when the answer is "there aren't any" and keep on pressing people to post positives because then you come across as ignorant or trolling.

    Also, this obviously seems to be news for you but people in here aren't actually required to post stuff they don't want to post. If you want to read more positive brexit news here, post them yourself.

    Dude, c'mon, even with the best will I can't understand your position. If you truly believe that -that- list are the main benefits, then the only logical conclusion is... that you've been duped and fucked over by Brexit.
    He didn't read the article. A newbie mistake people make when they start here. They assume reading a headline is enough and since it included "winners" surely there must be some winning points. He didn't expect anyone to actually read that shit. And now he's embarassed that multiple people are digging into it and question what the positives for the Brexiteers are in that article, proving that his argument is futile. Watch him deflect again in his next post.

    And no I won't call you a cunt or a nazi, it's disgusting behavior and should be condemned by everyone, for some reason people like you are defending it, very very strange.

    Think about it for a while, are you really defending a person/persons for acting this way.

    What would your family say, i bet they would say, " you got this one wrong"
    Your 6 points turned out to be 5 British sectors that would feel no or only slightly negative effects and the 6th was how other countries' banks would gain from the losses in UK companies.

    You're a dishonest person slant, first, you refuse to criticize someone for what they said, then you threatened to report me for nothing. Caught in the act slant, shame on you.

    i will ask you for the last time, do you think its ok for people like Johnnysensible and co to call people Nazis and cunts on this forum because someone had a difference of opinion with them.?

    ~Did you report them too when they said that, or do you only report people you disagree with?

    dont forget to report me

    I'm not your monkey. I don't have to fight your battles for you. You keep thinking that we're under some obligation to do everything for you. You're a big boy, fight your own battles. Also, I have no idea what insults you're on about, nor do I feel very inclined to research them and even less inclined to get into the middle of petty bickering. I'm not a mod here, that's not my job. Use the report function for that.

    I didn't threaten to report you, I reported you and let you know why. I even offered to retract that report, but you seem to have no interest in it.

    And, for the record, this is again you deflecting from pointing out positives in Brexit. Dude, we can keep this going for a couple more pages, but I won't forget how today's discussion started. Stop deflecting.

    @ Mods: This is a common extremist tactic, btw. Derail the debate/threat and make proper discussion impossible so normal people stay away and don't take part in this. There is a name for it that I used in the report... this is why that rule generally exists in most forums in case you forgot.

    Well, might as well get back to the actual reality of Brexit:

    https://www.cityam.com/uk-asks-eu-fo...od%20extension

    UK asks EU for grace period extension in a bid to soften Brexit impact

    Britain has asked the EU for a grace period extension until 2023 on checks made on trade moving between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK.

    Cabinet Office Secretary Michael Gove has written to the European Commission’s vice president, Maros Sefcovic, to ask for urgent political solutions, according to the BBC.
    Why is it that the EU has to do the work for them again?

    Oh, now they want an extension ey

    Part of me wishes the EU would say no, but they will accept
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

    They refused to consider an extension to the transition period last year but somehow they want something similar now?

    And it's working. After asking him a couple times directly and him always deflecting/ignoring I just don't give a fuck anymore about a discussion with him and abandoned the thread. As long as he does that there is nothing in here for me. Seems like that's the kind of forum mods want to have here. Have a nice day.
