Could someone explain to me what a neo-liberal cartel is, and how the EU fits the bill? Do you actually know what a cartel is? Obviously not. I’m still waiting for someone to explin what neo-liberal means. The EU is most certainly not a cartel unless you want to just make up a new meaning for the word. there is much wrong with the EU, and it’s changing a lot to meet the stresses. That’s the way they work. Personally, I would want a fight to make it democratic, as Ken Coates demanded when he was an MEP. But as we’re leaving, that isn’t our job any more.
We have already discussed this previously in depth, I am not going over it again. You just repeat yourself over and over again. You are worse than Q. You are a typical Remainer, only your view is valid and you sneerily dismiss everyone elses. For the past two years.
I did also notice with interest tonight that your buddy Europhile Sir Nick Clegg, who condemned tax avoiding Facebook for allegedly intervening during the referendum, has just accepted a very highly paid job with them, 4 million smackeroonies a year. Not bad work if you can get it… That’s the Remain class for you…

I don’t know what a neo-liberal cartel is, but the EU’s single market acts as an economically protectionist block, which could be described accurately as a cartel on trade.
No, I have no idea what a neo-liberal cartel is either, but God does it ound clever.
What’s a cartel on trade? It’s not a cartel in any sense of the term.
It fixes tariffs, not prices. Its a union of 28, soon 27, quarrelsome countries whihc compete against one another while protecting themselves by tariff walls. The countries compete against one another in the world market, and their competition within the trading bloc is regulated by a Competition Commissioner. It’s recognised by the WTO.
It’s certainly not pure free trade – you don’t see a lot of that around. But it#’s not a cartel.
look up cartel as used in any and every economics textbook.
In need of reform, oh yes, and we should have fought to democratise it.
But the rules and regulations govern health, hygiene, food etc etc. To stadardise all these across 28, soon 27 countires, involves a lot of rules and standards.
Get rid of those pesky rules to make it free trade, Drac?? We’ll soon be on our way!!

Sorry, Gerry, don’t let fantasy carry you away. Clegg isn’t my buddy. He wants a referendum for onme thing, whereas I don’t.
Oh wait, you said I do. I’m still trying to figure that one out.
We haven’t discussed it in depth at all. I ask questions, you ignore them,.
look up the meaning of cartel in any economics textbook. It doesn’t fit the EU at all!
So how are the EU bullying us? You say so furiously, and you’re backed by the other Leavers here. In what way?? I’ll tell you in what way. They haven’t for one simple reason. They don’t need to. We’re bolloxing it all up before we even get to negotiations with them on the difficult issues.
If Britain knows what it wants, then they can start to bully.
But Britain doesn’t know what it wants, does it?
Brexit is turning into an awful mess even before we leave!
That’s not my opinion only. It’s the opinion of all commentators, Leave or Remain.
so stop creating scapegoats and making it up, and come out with a good argument. I’m sure you have one.
How am I advocating a second referendum to stop the UK leaving – we are no matte what any of us say or do? In what way is the EU a cartel, much less a neo-liberal one. A simple answer is all that’s needed. In what way have the EU bullied us??
19 October, 2018 at 9:22 pm #1108177No, I have no idea what a neo-liberal cartel is either, but God does it ound clever.
You have never once presented a technical argument as to why we should stay in the neoliberal, EU cartel. To do so would expose your ignorance, prove once and for all you are not left wing by any stretch of the imagination and which is why you spam these threads with red herrings and meaningless guff .
19 October, 2018 at 9:30 pm #1108179I don’t think we should stay in any neo-liberal cartel
as I don’t know of any neo-liberal cartel which exists.
I don’t bother arguing as to why we should stay in the EU and fight for reform for one simple reason. We’re leaving and I can’t be bothered to elaborate a make-believe fantasy world about how the world would be rosy if we stayed.
It won’t, we should stay, but we’re leaving.
How are you disagreeing.
So how am I advocating a second referendum, as you and Ms M Have argued? What in hell is a neo-liberal cartel (!!!), and how does the EU fit the bill?? How is the EU bullying us???
As you haven’t answered the last question with a single example, I assume you agree that you’re wrong on this. If I’m wrong, then I’m waiting for an example. trying to get beyond smear to argument, but I’m starting to feel you’re just throwing crap out without any substance.
19 October, 2018 at 9:38 pm #1108182Stick your red herring where the sun doesn’t shine. So you have not got a technical argument as to why we should remain in the EU, why on earth have you angrily been pontificating about the subject for over two years then?
19 October, 2018 at 9:53 pm #1108188talk about creating a red herring and then accusing the other person of creating a red herring.
I’ve not been explaining for the reason given. We voted to leave. I said I’m not happy, I want to remain, but we are leaving. If the time comes to argue, I will. I’ve been pointing to the fact that it’s not the walk in the park the brexiteers promised us, and I’m arguing that we’re going to end up in shit creek. Time will tell.
We’re leaving. It’s only a question of the best way to leave.What’s your argument, apart from trying to make up stories that I’m wanting a second referendum??
Where did I say I want one? I say explicitly I don’t want one.
In what way is the EU a neo-liberal cartel. God, it sounds clever, but when challenjged you dodge it pretty quick, don’t you. You have to. The EU isn’t a neo-liberal cartel, it’s a trading bloc.
Play the ball,. not the player.
Tel me how the EU have bullied us, because i gave you reasons as to why they haven’t.
But we’re not going to get that, are we Gerry?
Because there are no reasons. Its just gobshyte, disguised by making stories up about the TTIP and neo-liberal cxartels and how people voted without being stuffed with lies about being in the money and saving the NHS.
The right-wing Tory brexiteers are leading us into Doom Alley. Leaving the EU doesn’t mean we have to follow them. All this smoke and mirrors seems meant to disguise a Tory agenda.
19 October, 2018 at 10:20 pm #1108192You truly are deluded Sceptical, you pepper your posts with personal attacks on other posters, suggestingg they are ranting or gobshytes etc then squeal “play the ball”.
You NEVER say anything that can be responded to in any other manner, you’re a blagger, you use a kind of emotive hybrid bullshit that provokes just the response you want. When you grow up and provide a grown up argument I am sure people will respond in kind.

Sounds like a self-description to me, Gerry.
19 October, 2018 at 10:25 pm #1108195Sounds like a self-description to me, Gerry.
I don’t care what it sounds like, your opinion means zero to me. I can take or leave the boards. I do know this though, you are far far worse than the likes of Q and get a far easier ride. It isn’t your personal blog and it never will be.
