My grandson will be 61 when the dividend arrives!!!

And still he claims that brexit is the right thing for Briton. Of course to him he and his offspring are Briton the rest of us are just dross.

I wonder at what point will the likes of Centy work out they have been sold a pup and the salesmen are not just pocketing the profits but they are laughing at him and his fellow believers while telling him what he has actually signed up for.

"Can we have a link please OP? "

Was said during a TV interview when JRM was pressed on what he would consider to be a brexit success or failure.

Reading between the lines he effectively said that regardless of how damaging brexit is to the UK economy and the population of the UK, brexit is a total success because it passes power to Tories.

"Can we have a link please OP? "

it was said in an interview to channel 4 news....

Rees-Mogg: “We will know at some point, of course we will. But it’s a question of timescale.”

Guru-Murthy: “So how long have you got?”

Rees-Mogg: “We won’t know the full economic consequences for a very long time, we really won’t.”

Guru-Murthy: “Of course not, but I mean we’ll have an indication. We’ll know if there’s been chaos, we’ll know if there have been job losses.”

Rees-Mogg: “The overwhelming opportunity for Brexit is over the next 50 years.”

it won't affect him at all... the hedge fund company he set up and still owns are setting up a 2nd subsiduary with a base in dublin, you know... so they can move the money to for all those clients who are worried about brexit....

There's only 1 country daft enough to leave, and it's the uk. No other EU has said anything about leaving, only that the EU needs to evolve, which it does, but I'd like to see any leave voter do a better job of getting 28 countries to work together in peace for a common goal.

For the record he doesn't own Somerset Capital Management. He is a shareholder and also a partner.

And it is not a second subsidiary, it is a second investment fund.

As a partner in a partnership he is in effect a part owner.

The investment fund has been registered in the Rep of Ireland so that it falls under EU rules and is able to trade after brexit. So old Jacob is "hedging his bets" - or having a bit of cake in both area's?

Let's wait and see who among the Leave cohort becomes a Remainer.

By Remainer, I mean remaining on these islands while their cheerleaders exit Britain with their dual nationality and 2nd homes in France and the US, all paid for by their nest eggs in offshore tax havens.

Who will the stay-at-homes blame then?

They won't be coming to the EU as they are clamping down on tax havens.

So given those that voted leave, the majority were over 32 so ironically None of them are going to see the "dividend " - just another 50 yrs of austerity? Having said that JRM isn't an expert so he's taking an educated (Eton) guess! Could there be a new political party - "The masochists"?

That doesn’t mean what the op is eluding to. Over the next 50 years is not the same as for 50 years. I’m not talking semantics here. RM’s words are being twisted by remoaners.

There are are so many variables, that some will present themselves earlier, or indeed later than others. The real differences will present themselves within the first 5 years imo..

Try reading JRM's statement a few times and see if it actually says - you will recieve no benefits FOR 50 years, as the OP has suggested

Or

if it says - you have an overwhelming opportunity OVER the next 50 years

Agreed it’s been misrepresented. It wasn’t 50 years until we make a profit. It was 50 years until we know if it was a good idea !! (Or at least how good or bad an idea it is). He didn’t seem to be meant to say when we will have an inkling.

Hardly.

The question put to this brexitering halfwit was what timescale would be needed to see the impact of Brexit.

He then waffled - “We won’t know the full economic consequences for a very long time, we really won’t.”

And when further pressed have the answer you're claiming is a positive.

And you're wrong, because as it relates to the actual question, half a century is the time it will take for the impact of brexit to take shape and brexit is, in the mind of people like that, a good thing.

Unambiguously, the payoff for brexit is fifty years in the future. And that's assuming it's an actual payoff.

Of course, you fell for the weasel wording of his answer, hook, line, and sinker.

Of course the opportunities for brexit lie in the future, they can hardly lie in the fucking past, now can they?

But the more astute reader will note he made no mention of the kinds of opportunities, the volume, how many people will be actually able to avail of the opportunities, are these opportunities greater than the ones that continued EU membership would have offered, and so on.

Simply that opportunities will happen in the future. For his next trick, in assume he'll blow our minds and tell us water is wet.

Absolutely nothing about this is a positive, unless you're stupid enough to think Brexit is a good idea.

So, about those English lessons you were so fucking certain everyone else needed? I'd say keep them.

A tad unnecessary. JRMs words were misrepresented IMO. And he was correct is pointing this out.

The learning is you can’t judge a sound bite in isolation. The words were positive. The context was political sidestepping.

No, but what we can do is read an exchange and then accurately gauge what it means.

The idea that they were positive is only superficially true.

He's had far too much attention for a very junior MP. And far too much influence on destabilising the conservative party and government, at one of the most important political periods of the last hundred years. Theresa May's Chequers agreed Brexit white paper was thrown to the wolves by his group's political pressure to implement legislation to curtail what could have been achieved. In other times he would have been hounded from the party but their tenuous hold onto power and internal ideological conflicts means that they've been on the verge of civil war for some years and the country at large must pay the price for this - it's intolerable. Just as he should be by the electorate.

No they are not!

I listened watched the interview and the slimy tory shyster refused to answer time and time again in the end being backed into a corner where he had to give a timescale and he came up with 50 years!

That you would defend him shows that not only are you licking his arse you have your head fully inserted the brexit shitter. It is because of people like you that I eventually came to the conclusion that we needed to leave the EU.

Unambiguously, the payoff for brexit is fifty years in the future. And that's assuming it's an actual payoff.

Of course, you fell for the weasel wording of his answer, hook, line, and sinker.

Of course the opportunities for brexit lie in the future, they can hardly lie in the fucking past, now can they?

But the more astute reader will note he made no mention of the kinds of opportunities, the volume, how many people will be actually able to avail of the opportunities, are these opportunities greater than the ones that continued EU membership would have offered, and so on.

Simply that opportunities will happen in the future. For his next trick, in assume he'll blow our minds and tell us water is wet.

Absolutely nothing about this is a positive, unless you're stupid enough to think Brexit is a good idea.

So, about those English lessons you were so fucking certain everyone else needed? I'd say keep them.

That was a slight over reaction! - perhaps after your much needed English lessons (and you really do need them) you could take a few anger management lessons on your way home?

Fuck your tone policing bullshit.

If you don't like having your mistakes pointed out to you, feel free not to participate.

Ah! Yet more anger and bad language!

To use some of JRM's words .....

By taking lessons, you have an "overwhelming opportunity" to improve your understanding of English and to control your anger

How positive does that sound?

"

Not in the slightest, really.

But it does sound like a something you might mistake as positive, if you're suitably predisposed to taking any old bullshit as gospel.

"JRM said -

“The overwhelming opportunity for Brexit is over the next 50 years.”

English is my 3rd language but I recognise that as a positive statement

Try reading JRM's statement a few times and see if it actually says - you will recieve no benefits FOR 50 years, as the OP has suggested

Or

if it says - you have an overwhelming opportunity OVER the next 50 years

Sorry to give you an English lesson chaps but some of you obviously need one

Hardly.

The question put to this brexitering halfwit was what timescale would be needed to see the impact of Brexit.

He then waffled - “We won’t know the full economic consequences for a very long time, we really won’t.”

And when further pressed have the answer you're claiming is a positive.

And you're wrong, because as it relates to the actual question, half a century is the time it will take for the impact of brexit to take shape and brexit is, in the mind of people like that, a good thing.

Unfortunately you lost the argument some time ago but just think yourself lucky - I only get to make you look stupid in English and not my first two languages

Now that's a positive for you

is the link - as others had already provided source I wasn't going to bother. However as some have taken "Umbridge" and in these days of "fake news" here is the wording:

"The rightwinger has admitted any ‘Brexit dividend’ may take 50 years." is the sub paragraph on the link I didn't use the exact wording - instead of "may" I used "could" - is there such a great difference?

I suppose I also said JRM as opposed to the "rightwinger" - I stand by my title and my original post! If you are not happy "TOUGH".

Rees-Mogg: “The overwhelming opportunity for Brexit is over the next 50 years.”

That doesn’t mean what the op is eluding to. Over the next 50 years is not the same as for 50 years. I’m not talking semantics here. RM’s words are being twisted by remoaners.

No they are not!

I listened watched the interview and the slimy tory shyster refused to answer time and time again in the end being backed into a corner where he had to give a timescale and he came up with 50 years!

That you would defend him shows that not only are you licking his arse you have your head fully inserted the brexit shitter. It is because of people like you that I eventually came to the conclusion that we needed to leave the EU."

I’m not even a Tory you pillock, I’m just anti EU, and of course I’m right. But the affects of BREXIT won’t all happen at once, and I’m sure that is what JRM actually meant.

You're right. The Brexit brigade have been telling us that the EU will fall apart ever since the referendum. They told us le Pen would win in France and the right would win in the Netherlands; it was rubbish then and it's still rubbish now. Wishful thinking. The EU wont collapse any time soon however much the brexiteers say so

5 star and the "lega nord" have said they will stay in the eurozone... never mind the greater question of EU membership....

people have been saying italy will leave... or spain will leave.... or greece will leave, so here is a reality check

in all three of those countrys... support is higher for the EU now that it was the day after the brexit referendum, probably because they have seen to shower of shit your brexit foreign secretary... and your brexit international trade deal minister.... and your brexit minister for leaving the EU have made such a shambles of it....

and they tell us there is a plan.... johnsons not in govt anymore... he could tell us

davies not in govt anymore.... he could tell us

gove distancing himself from the immigration talk about the turkish flood before the vote.....

farage distancing himself for the big red bus 9hrs after the vote itself....

at some point you will finally realise you were taken it.... but you'll say "oh no deal was always the best option!!!!"

so centy... rather than spout the "party line" lets be pragmatic...

1) you never get a better deal being on the outside as you do being on the inside....

2) with the good comes the bad!... just name one thing that is "negative".... just one..... one consequence of brexit.... because the fact your brexit governement are looking and stockpiling food and medicines should scare the bejesus out you... and they don't deny the planning!!!!!

if they are having to "be real" then you are some point are going to have to "be real" as well..........

now... if you prepared to be pragmatic, then we can start having conversations

You can find it on the European Parliament website entitled "Eurobarometer survey shows highest support for the EU in 35 years"

They surveyed 27,601 people out of a total population of 512.6 million! "

Polls take a random selection in the UK they are usually between 1,000 -2,000 out of a population of 65,000,000 - and your point is?

"More crap forecasts then ....i forecast another 2 major countries in the eu leave in next 5 years if not more ...x

Did you not do that 2 year's ago?

All those countries who on the back of the vote who were about to elect far right parties into power..

Not happened has it..

Do you keep up on current events? I seem to recall a right wing Eurosceptic government being elected in Italy this year. Also a Eurosceptic government being elected in Hungary. The government in Poland now seems to be more Eurosceptic than Europhile. Also within the last few months a right wing anti immigration government being elected in Slovenia. Marine Le Pen came 2nd in France which was new ground for her. Angela Merkel got a bloody nose in Germany with the right wing Eurosceptic AFD making big gains. The tide is turning against the EU all over the European continent.

no it isn't turning, short term gains which will be reversed as the centre ground reasserts itself..

any sign of any votes for leaving the EU in those countries..?

"Short term gains which will be reversed" ........How about a reality check!

If you want signs there are plenty of signs down here in Southern Europe .. Spain, Greece, Italy, Portugal, also add most of Eastern Europe!

The UK is leaving soon, in addition there are deep concerns in France and Germany, and a right wing switch in Austria, Slovenia and Italy and we have elections in Sweden 9th Sept

We all know which direction Sweden is heading

I've deliberately left a few countries out, so I don't overload the debate - But out of interest - can anyone name a single country where support for the EU is growing and not in decline?

I think his point is that actual real elections in Europe in recent months are showing a different story, with Anti EU, Euroscrptic governments being elected or making big gains.

How many are planning on holding referendums about leaving the EU?

Come on Centaur, it's an easy question

This survey which has been done annually for decades

As for my second point, that is my experience of the views of my friends and neighbours here in Spain. You may not agree, but that's tough

Oddly, that's how all surveys work.....the word you're looking for is sampling
