Big hints that we won't be allowed to dawdle.
It is not a cantankerous question of permissive godwottery, but a question of what rambunctious skullduggery runs widdershins to us dawdling.
Now that it has (barely!) been established that we want to leave, despite my own feelings, I think we need to go fast and hard.
Without going into descriptive terms more fit for lewdness, what would you suggest we do in the leaving process? Or only using terms more fit for lewdness I suppose, whatever floats ones goats
Re-establish the Republic of/Northern Ireland border.
Fixed border controls for the common travel idea is not a good idea, I've only see this said by people who thought Ireland and the UK were schengen area
Stockpile materials for a potential Scottish fence.
1. Hadrian's wall lel
2. You don't need to stockpile materials for fences
3. Scotland will be pissed off by southern migration on the ground route long before the other way around
4. If independence occurs
Nationalise the steelworks to create the necessary metal for that.
Not a good reason to nationalize our steel industries. Supporting our shipyards and aerospace would make more sense tbh than fences, we can get fences quite easily
Start to ramp up military hardware, simultaneously.
"Ramp up?"
Reverse the armed forces de-recruitment plans, demothball the second aircraft carrier and construct new patroln ships, send military units down the Chunnel to better control the 'British zone' at that end. Revoke all visa-waivering. Build that Boris Island as the International air-portal, with segmented zones to allow greater- and lesser-priviledged national carriers/originating visitors to be kept segregated....
I think just abandoning the failed replacement of the active vs reserves recruitment would suffice, the second aircraft carrier is not mothballed and our patrol ship fleet is of sufficient size. Personally I'd like one more science vessel and more mine clearance ships (never enough mine clearance ships) but that's not necessary, just a thing of personal preference. Sending military down to the Chunnel should be done at Calais, not Dover, makes more sense to start prevention as prevention, not just damage control. Boris Island as
the international airport do not make sense, you do not make a supplement your staple, and a new airport would have much development to do before it could compete with Heathrow or Gatwick. Revoking all visa-waivering is pointlessly retarded.
Or not. But we do need to establish both our national USP and also pull a lot of our external needs (e.g. energy and food supplies) homeward. If we're going to be insular, let's do it properly. (Not that the current government, even under the next leader-presumptive, will ever spend money to save money. It'll continue to cut costs, ineffectually, to thus actually cost of our economy much more.)
I think it's a telling product of how little the two camps listened to one another that this is the impression of Leave; that it was not a vote to be in the world again, but a vote to be insular.
So how goes things today, thread? You seem to have finished arguing over racism.
We briefly touched on the etymology of salty in addition to what the banks are doing. Still gonna take some time to see what actually happens of their actions
Oh! I just remembered I never welcomed you lot to the Dumb Bastards Club!
As an American, I am proud to add you to the ranks, never again will you be able to scoff politely and chuckle about how much smarter you are than us.
Here's to putting the "Special" back in the Special Relationship!
Silly Max, smugness does not need superiority, only imagined
