The B-Ark / Re: O/T In or out

My job loss is not a direct result of Brexit, the closing of the wider plant is though (700+ jobs) as we were taken over earlier in the year and my role is now done outside of the UK.  My only anger is at the ignorance of the issues it's created and the lies that were sold to millions and swallowed (and yes there were lies by both campaigns but only one sides count now!).

What specific benefits of Brexit are there? And more specifically what have you witnessed so far, given it's not actually happened yet we have only felt the effects of the uncertainty the vote created?

Adam where did you discover how the rest of the world see Brexit ?  same goes for your information that Nissan may receive special treatment .

No idea for Adam but I can tell you mine. I work (until the 31st of this month) for a global company in a global industry. I talk daily to Indians, Americans, South Americans, Russians and people in Malaysia and Singapore.  They have exactly that view. What have you done, you had the best of both worlds with access to and opt outs of a market worth $19trillion you are crazy.

So yes I do discover how the world sees Brexit, I talk to and work with people who are effected by it. And it's the biggest mistake we have ever been allowed to make. I don't ignore it. I don't dismiss it. I look at the practical questions it raises and ask who has the answers. And they are all yet to be answered so I'll keep on asking thanks.

They don't appear to have an interest so you have done nothing to promote the club or the experience to them. Ok, just so we are clear.  But let's complain the club does not do enough to encourage them....  :dan

Again genius, what the actual feck are all all those points about the euro etc? I've said nothing about them. Carry on ignoring he situation, carry on wilfully ignoring the genuine and practical issues raised by the Out vote and complain those asking qeuestiins are traitors or whatever.

Nissan have played the government perfectly and have set up the rest of the automotive industry to now do the same (consessions, subsidies etc.) then you will see the other industries doing the same, because why not? If only there was some sort of European club we cloud be in which protected governments from being held to ransom by globally operating companies.

Also if I am younger what the hell has that got to do with anything? There are more eduducated and more intelligent people younger than me and I'm totally comfortable with it. If you aren't do something about it. Educate yourself.

Haha brilliant, no really that's brilliant. Of course the last few months have been all beer and stittles for them...

Oh and the daily mail is useful as chip paper and that's it. If you think my views are formed from that rag you have no clue.

Genuine question then for you guys who have all these 'friends' from those communities, have you asked them to come? Have you spoken about why they don't if that's their preference? Have you taken those points to the club? Have you tried to encourage them to attend at all?

Boston was the highest vote of Out in the referendum. A clear two fingers up to those you say you want to attract into the ground. Do you honestly think any forgien national would think it would be a welcoming and supportive environment? No, neither would I.

Nissan to manufacture three new models at their Sunderland factory post Brexit.

Better than expected figures concerning British finances post Brexit.

Perhaps project fear was just bullsh*t

Honestly, the naivety of this just shows the mess we are in already and the absolute meltdown ahead when we do eventually leave.

Just had a look on f/b and for anyone wanting a genuine debate or make a constructive comment it is an utter waste of time .

To be honest I sacked off Facebook in general years back for that very reason. For the tiny positives of using it no way worth the negatives.  I know you could apply that to virtually all social media but FB just became a stream of either nonsense spouted by idiots or adverts, plus after having kids it made me think twice regarding security and privacy of information.  Anyway, slightly off topic....

Back on it...
I did think that the reaction of Dennis after the game on saturday was a dissapointment, to play out such fustrations in full public view did him no favours and in a round about way slag off the man who rewarded him with a 2 year deal not long back was a sour move.  He just needs to keep his head down, get on with the job, take the knocks on the chin (injuries, budget, etc.) and do his best.  Leave the histrionics to those shouting from the stands

Seriously though what a complete and utter nonsense this is.  Thanks to Josh for the heads up as this will catch plenty out I'm sure. (I'll pin it)

You are aware Osbourne is not Chancellor still yeah?

His predictions for what happens on an out vote were in line with the statement that the PM would be invoking A50 the next day, which thankfully even he wasn't stupid enough to do.

So forget any prediction or assumption from either of those two on an out vote, they were designed to shock people into remaining - it didn't work obviously BUT its yet to be proven right or wrong UNTIL the A50 part is started.

Now we have a situation nobody predicted or wanted, vote leave but A50 not started straight away, a new PM/Chancellor/cabinet - with the PM being a Remainer!?!?  So forget what anyone predicted or said would happen, we are in no mans land.

he claimed the interest rate would rise because brexit would be a spectacular  disaster.

'Brexit' hasn't started yet.

And given how badly things have gone since the vote to leave do you really think it won't be worse when it actually starts?  Especially if its a shoot from the hip, reactionary, daily mail pleasing mess its looking to be right now.

But would anyone have supported a JR if the answer had been the other way?

This is exactly why I find discussing the entire subject now pointless. 

There would not have been a JR as we would not have been looking to invoke A50 as we would have voted remain!

THE POINT of the JR is not to stop leaving, thats done - decided - literally nobody is saying change it.  The issue, the JR, is to stop a quick reactionary exit which is ill thought out and not properly considered.  IF the PMs plan (and its not even the governments or the ministers plan as non of them agree) is so good why can it not be debated, voted on, in the commons. 
WE HAVE TAKEN BACK CONTROL remember, let's use it    :dan

Word for word my thoughts there OP.

How long will we go on saying individual mistakes, when it's easier just to say Maguire. Really hope he improves but just look back and he is the common link to the soft goals (not all of course but more than fair share).

Let's have a tight, no nonsense display on Saturday, bank the cash and get in the hat.

Pilgrim86 managed a very quick turn around on Saturday to make two games in a day but I've got a slight twist on it in the next 24 hours or so.

Setting off down in the next couple of hours for tonight's game, then afterwards driving down Hertfordshire to meet a friend who is a Leicester season ticket holder and we then head to Bruges in the morning on the train.

So Conference North one night and Champions League the next, you could say one extreme to the other 

There must be a few others with similar quick turn around between matches attended?
