You know Amazon isn't actually leaving the UK, right?

They won't they built that new warehouse in 2017, after the vote. Trying to highlight just how idiotic some of these posts are. You can try and justify anything if you want to and will find reasons to. This thread has reached retarded level.

So it is that Amazon...

Thanks!

Is there more than one Amazon?

And I assume you do know I picked Amazon straight off the top of my head to show how ridiculous NBFTW argument is about picking and choosing which companies are okay to leave.

So with that in mind, do you have a point?

Which I did exactly the same thing. See my post above. You have all reached a point of arguing shyte just for the sake of it. Brexit is happening. Maybe try and keep to that and developments around it.

He was just trying to show how ridiculous it is to say good riddance to a company who is leaving, because of some bad reviews on the Internet. Which was what NBFTW was doing... Amazon is irrelevant, he could have used any company with a bad review to make his point.

Sorry bud, that's completely missed me. I'll swoosh myself because I've no idea what you are trying to say.

As you were.

And I proved that even NBFTW could and would find something to justify it. Why these stupid arguments are happening I have no idea. Brexit is a reality. Like I said, keep to the developments regarding the implementation, the budgets in the EU which is a complete fark-up now and the likes.

But silly little examples are thrown around and arguments going on about shyte.

Ok Pitbull, if you don't like arguments about shyte then stop arguing about shyte. It starts with you.

Also, people can talk about and argue about whatever they want here, you can just ignore the things that don't interest you, but don't post about how evil amazon is and then complain that other people are arguing about shyte

EU crisis: Switzerland to hold referendum as country prepares for its own ‘Brexit moment’

Switzerland is set to hold a vote on Schengen, the area comprising 26 European countries that have officially abolished all passport and all other types of border control. While an EU initiative, the Schengen area also includes Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Lichtenstein, none of which are member states. The May 17 vote will see Swiss residents vote on whether they want to regain control of their borders.

Such a decision would be a bitter blow to Brussels in the aftermath of the UK’s decision to leave the trade bloc.

Recommending its citizens vote down rejecting Schengen, the Swiss government said in a statement: “That would have painful consequences, primarily for security and asylum issues but also for border traffic and freedom to travel.”

According to Swiss authorities, Schengen was responsible for 55,000 immigrants in the country last year.

In total there were 2.1 million immigrants living in Switzerland in 2019.


The largest groups of EU citizens living in the country are from Italy, Germany, France, and Portugal.

If the outcome of the referendum is to leave the common Schengen area, Switzerland will take back unilateral control of their borders though at the cost of abrogating the free-movement pact with the EU.

But the government argue the vote - dubbed their ‘Brexit moment’ by local media - would have grave consequences not only for the security of the country but also for border traffic and freedom of travel.

Switzerland’s relationship with the EU is a complex one.

The nation is not a member state with the bloc but it is associated with Brussels through a series of bilateral treaties.

Up the Swiss :thumbsup:

Day 14 PB: There is red everywhere. The color of the nazi. It is too late, the invasion has begun. As predicted and warned, its all collapsing. I fear I may not make day 15 in this post brexit world.

So then I can post what I want to prove a point, we just keep on doing the same old shyte.

Doesn't phase me. I just think it's stupid, but I'll play.

Yeah, funny how we can do things like that online to suit our agenda, isn't it?
:ROFL:

you bring customer reviews vs a court order and the regulator taking them to task, totally the same thing, a bank that allows all kinds of fraud is GREAT to its customers fyi, the fraudsters are customers after all

you really have no clue how this fintech thing works do you? :rolleyes:

More and more countries will follow suit now.

The budget gap left by the UK is just too big to be closed by the countries left.

Who do you think will contribute to fill this void?

The Swiss have referendums all the time on all sorts of issues and any citizen is able to initiate one, so I wouldn't read to much into it, without knowing the general feeling in Switzerland towards the EU, or more specifically, being part of the Schengen

I know. I wish many more democracies could operate like the Swiss with lots of referenda. The Swiss are smart cookies...I'm hoping they vote for my preferred option. :cool:
