Hi Luis,I'm glad that we agree that the important thing is for the politicians to negotiate the best possible deal for the future of the UK, with or without the EU.
As I have already stated,firstly,I am English, secondly, I am British and I love my country on both counts.If someone calls me a "Little Englander",that is the greatest compliment that I could ever receive.
Amen.]]> Mon, 05 Sep 2016 22:40:48 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/brexit-straws-in-the-wind_topic9496_post99289.html#99289 https://albufeira.com/forum/brexit-straws-in-the-wind_topic9496_post99287.html#99287 Author: Luis

Yes Phil of course people should be happy with the economic scenario. Negotiations will be hard and in my Humble opinion Brexit might not be what people think ,hopefully the deal negotiated by the Politicians will be a great deal to make Britain prosper even more. :)

Yes,we are still a member of the EU but,if you remember, the Establishment forecast immediate disaster following a Leave vote. After the usual over the top response from the markets,the dust is now settling and,as well as the recent Industrial results, the pound sterling is rising.
Had the dire predictions happened, the media would have been full of "I told you so" lectures from the Establishment ,before you could say " Brexit ".
I agree that there are uncertain times ahead ,but please,whilst we are thriving, can we take a certain satisfaction in the present economic scenario in the UK.?
David Davies has had four years experience within the EU and is an authority on the way that it works,they will not bully or browbeat him.They have already tried,when he stated that trade agreements with other non EU countries was underway, they blustered that we had to have permission from the EU to open trade negotiations. His response, "What can they do,kick us out "!
In my opinion and that of the majority of British people, we can and will, prosper without being members of the EU .]]> Mon, 05 Sep 2016 20:58:04 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/brexit-straws-in-the-wind_topic9496_post99286.html#99286 https://albufeira.com/forum/brexit-straws-in-the-wind_topic9496_post99278.html#99278 Author: Luis

Let me establish the fact that I have boundless admiration for the people who fought for the Allies in both world wars.At a later date, I served in the RAF for three years and was fortunate to emerge unscathed.If you can't stand the heat,don't come into the kitchen, that is my view of my own personal experience and no reflection on anyone else.
Nigel may have become less visible ,post Brexit ,but he was instrumental in bringing about the freedom of the British people from the tyrannical dictatorship that the EU has become. Tell me honestly, do you think that it is right for unelected beurocrats in Brussels to regard our parliament as nothing more than a local council? British people elect representatives to govern the country, not to be subservient to any other entity.
I have no shame in expressing my views,I am unashamedly English, despite the trend to demean our history and become the world champion of apologists.
No one knows what the future holds but I have confidence in the British people to adapt to whatever circumstances arise and make Britain great again.
By the way, your comments regarding the racist attacks and linking them to Leave supporters was out of order and a cheap shot.I ,just as an example, have friends from all over the world and I am sure that there are many in the Leave camp who can say the same. Shame on you. ]]> Fri, 02 Sep 2016 22:42:49 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/brexit-straws-in-the-wind_topic9496_post99257.html#99257 https://albufeira.com/forum/brexit-straws-in-the-wind_topic9496_post99253.html#99253 Author: cubsur

At last, someone else who actually sees the truth rather than what the BBC etc tell you to believe. It is clear to all those who bother to care, US and EU facilitated the overthrow of the Ukraine leader.

The sacrifices ordinary British people made 70 years ago were to stop a German dominated Europe.  Since the collapse of the Soviet Union the EU (German dominated) has been expanding eastwards and has even financed the overthrow of the democratically elected Government in Ukraine.  The EU may be more polite to us than Germany was in WWII, ie not dropping bombs or shooting at us, but it still tells us what to do.]]> Fri, 02 Sep 2016 14:09:20 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/brexit-straws-in-the-wind_topic9496_post99250.html#99250 https://albufeira.com/forum/brexit-straws-in-the-wind_topic9496_post99249.html#99249 Author: Jock
