Brexit: Should the UK stay or go?

Your anti-US language is usually a lot more reasonable than this

What's your personal best case scenario right now? What would you like to happen? @RealGunner

This week the United States published our objectives for a future trade deal with the UK. We are now ready to negotiate the most ambitious and comprehensive trade deal in the history of our special relationship. And of course we want agriculture to be part of those negotiations – it is a great opportunity for both of us.

Article is behind a paywell but the US ambassador calls the strict EU laws on food "aggricultural museum" while the US would be using the newest technologies to feed the world with cheaper hormone beef so it's time Britain opens its market for US products post EU.

I’m sure we can still buy organic eggs from Lidl after we leave guys.

Or am I missing something. Will all organic food be removed from our shops when we leave. Are the French saying no more organic food for the Brits after brexit. Well it won’t be the French will it we just say boo. And they will surrender the threat

I should have been more clear

I think that the idea the US would shove chlorinated chicken and genetically modified food down the throats of the UK is absolutely true and likely to happen.

I just don't really see the problem with either chlorinated chicken or genetically modified food

In the 2011 U17 Football World Cup in Mexico, 109 footballers were positively tested on HGH after eating steak from the cantine. German national team was negative because they had their own cook.

Sure, you're not going to die because of it, you're not going to eat steak every day anyway, but I'd rather avoid eating stuff which would make me fail a doping test. Also it's still unknown what long-term effects it could have on children, pregnant women or even women in general (many are already fighting with hormone imbalances in daily life). You'd be surprised what treatments many women have to go through to be able to get pregnant.

Should be a no-brainer to avoid meat filled with hormones and antibiotics.

And rumor has it May will ask for a 21 month extension (the date when the UK will no longer have any budgetary commitments to future EU projects).

Could we please fucking not? Imagine living with this uncertainty and angst for 2 more years.

Looks like this is the way we are going

Did any of the mainstream parties supported leaving EU? I mean what caused the referendum?

Alright, to each their own. I guess I shouldn't have said that your rhetoric is usually more reasonable because your argument isn't unreasonable even if I disagree with it.

Why would the EU agree to this extension though?

Literally the opposite of reality. It's the UK that wants an extension, not the EU.

no man my mouse is fucked. sometimes it double clicks when i only click once. fucking thing is pissing me off. i need to replace it because a single post from me is more than people can take so a double post does not go down well

Exactly why I asked?

On a separate note, you should get yourself checked out rather than the mouse. Computer misbehaving is often a sign of senility!

a man of your age would be a expert on such matters.

BREAKING

John Bercow effectively bars Theresa May from tabling MV3 unless it has been substantially changed, citing 415-year-old precedent

I can confirm that he gave the Govt *no notice* that he was about to do this

Theresa May is learning this at the same time as us

RKO OUT OF NOWHERE
