What's going on?

[DRiddle]

You want to leave the EU because you're "against globalisation" ?

Do you have an alternative to globalisation which you think can work economically, socially, politically and culturally in a world which is mainly already globalised?

Genuine question.

If you're against something there must be reasons. It also makes sense that there's an alternative you'd like to see. What's your preferred alternative?

I'm all for local governance, however not as it currently exists. It should not be a financially rewarding position, and it should only be open to local people who have the support of the general local populace.

You've literally just described the current system of local governance.

Unfortunately I do not think it will happen. Many tried and failed...time to move on?

Mais si tu dois partir, va-t'en, Mais si tu dois partir, va-t'en  Si non, tu dois rester la nuit.

Er no he described how it should be....the like of Shane who jumped ship to further his own political career probably nolonger have the "support of the general local populace".

Nous vous haïssons toujours, mais pendant que vous nous permettez de vous saigner à blanc, nous vous tolérerons.

Having lived through the period and being familiar with the Dylan original and the Manfred Man version I had no need to use Goggle translate.

I am (was?)  hoping you give me an opening to introduce Raymond Froggit and 'Callow La Vita'.  You might be more familiar with the Dave Clark 5 version.
Personally I prefer the  Marie Laforet effort.  Always had a soft spot for anemic brunettes!

I think Elvis ruined the song with his version.

Local governance isn't perfect, I'm amongst the most vocal in stating that.

However, break down the components of 'how it should be' as was described.

"I'm all for local governance, however not as it currently exists. It should not be a financially rewarding position - it isn't, not if you're of the level- and it should only be open to local people- it is only open to local people who live (or at lease say they live) there - who have the support of the general local populace - like by proving they have that support by some kind of vote? 

Honest to god, I'm not sure there's ever been such a nadir moment for this forum and what's happening on this thread.

I get a pension off the French......but never get the urge to break into using the language on a board in Hartlepool. Sorry, but just what are you trying to prove ....or are you Del Boy?

I wouldn't despair there are many here who

Voted FOR Brexit - for their own reasons and see no reason to comply with demands to justify their vote....

Voted AGAINST Brexit and certainly in Hartlepool found themselves in the minority something they seem unable to accept

Support Labour - always have always will

Do not support Labour but see no viable alternative after Shanes antics

Nothing has changed since the Referendum - parliament has made Britain look like the village idiots of Europe and is obviously hell bent on us remaining.....

My vote is going in the bin- they are all full of S*it and not worth of the effort of actually walk to a polling station- can't wait for the liars to start canvassing and knocking on my door.....then again over the last five years at Seaton nobody ever has from any of the political parties.

Really? You're disappointed the forum is not your stage and as for nadir moment, that's only in your world of politics, for others it's refreshing. It's not all about you.

Go on I'll have one last try.

Is anyone willing or able to offer an ACTUAL reason for voting to leave the EU?

So far we've had "It was my choice" (which isn't a reason), "I'm not telling you" (which isn't a reason), the classic "To free us from EU laws" (followed by a seeming inability to clarify any EU law they're currently upset by) and finally, the very vague "I'm against globalisation".

Good luck with the international free trade negotiations and world trade organisation default position if we do leave by the way. Given you're against globalisation . . .

Thank Tommy Tuck......

I'll give you 11 out of 10 for perseverance David but it's taken you an inordinate amount of time to realise you have been flogging a dead horse and unless you reconsider the way you constantly put people down when posting, I suspect you won't get much engagement from post users in the future.

You're getting less attention than a 105 year stripper, at least you could talk about the Great War with them or the General Strike in 1926.

No.

Get over it......

You don't know why you did it do you? You ARE the stereotypical Brexit voter who didn't know what they were voting for.

That's agree then, fair enough.
