    Oh gawd look who's back - Sir Vincent of Cable, Bad-news Bunny of all things Brexit, the so-called-but-never proved 'expert' on the UK economy, and the self-delusional darling of liberals everywhere. Why the hell doesn't he just call it a day and spend more time with his (our??) money?!

    ' . . . and some have greatness thrust upon them.'

    http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/...nd_would_lose_billions_of_pounds_with_Brexit/

    And as if the Scottish loss wasn't enough, he's at it again - more bad news for the rest of us . . .

    "Leaving the EU without a trade deal could cost Britain £430 BILLION over five years, warns Vince Cable"

    This is all starting to scare me; something's going to happen I just know it is! Anyone over there in the good ol' U S of A up for taking in a long-term paying guest? I'd always help out with a bit of gardening and yard-work.

    Brexit®
    Hmmm...

    Get your BrexitBar®
    The pick me up for when life gets you down.

    EUChew® - It's nutty, maybe even a little bit fruity, but tastes like sour grapes...
    IDK... Just put Tesco Bombay Mix into a chocolate bar and call it an EU Chew and hide the curry flavour.

    Or, Have A Break the strap line for Kit Kat I guess owned by Nestlé® could be Have A Brexit.

    Scotland should seek independence again. Problem solved.

    Lots of over weight people these days might not hurt a country to loss a lot of pounds.

    Cut your losses and roll up your sleeves, Britania. You'll be fine.

    Scotland is still in the UK and post Brexit could see a deal with the EU, the US, whoever else.
    Why let Brussels say what the UK does?

    The UK use stones... not lsb/pounds - probably because of our money? £/pounds, who knows?
    But, Britain is getting a belly/is getting fat!.. (lol)... Yeah.
    What to do though about Britain getting fatter?

    IDK, health conditions aside...

    It's good we're not starving...

    But...

    Health conditions.


    Britain has booze and junk food a plenty, you do the math.
    I think we can be happy and be healthier.

    This time last year, I was starving. I lost 2 stone in weight. Looked like a Cambodian.
    It has taken me a year to regain that weight. I will be getting as fat as possible ready for the next time I go broke

    The health issues of getting too fat, laughable in comparison to the health issues of getting too thin
    Have another doughnut fatboy. Enjoy it.

    My old tongue scraper was a bulimic's best friend, my new one; Not so much. (That's good).

    But, your body will 'eat itself' if it's hungry.


    Self image aside, states of health and well being should dictate happiness.

    A fair question. But why then do you continue allowing the US to say what the UK does?

    Cable is a traitor to the people of Scotalnd. I have been living in Scotland for 27 yeras now & from my research & understanding of how Scotland's economy runs we shall be far far better off outside the EU. Thankyou very much.

    Can you refer to one respected economic source that concludes "Scotland will be better off"? Just the reference will suffice

    What someone says is never enough for you is it.

    Can you post without asking more of a poster?
