[Politics] Brexit

[Butch Willykins]

What the bit where he says AROUND 80% of the DRAFT is agreed? Yes I saw that.
Very very very different to 80% of the brexit paperwork being completed.

Is it? I personally would take his word for it.

 

[Butch Willykins]

Its almost as though there is a draft document out there(130 pages long ..cough) where the agreed text at negotiations level is highlighted in a different way to the text that is still ongoing, that would allow both Mr Bernier and Mr Verhofstadt to say with confidence, at different times, that 80% was agreed.
If only the existence of this document could be searched via something like google.

A tweet claiming Farage is suggesting we should deport 3 million Europeans if there's no deal shows a video where Farage DOESN’T suggest at all we should deport 3 million Europeans if there's no deal
More tw@tter dishonesty promoted and shared……..…imagine my shock.

 

[Butch Willykins]

Yes! Spot the difference:
80% of the brexit paperwotk is completed.
Around 80% of the draft is agreed.

Sorry but what is the Brexit paperwork? And can you remind me what your original complaint was?

Twatter, it's a slow Brexit news day. Farage will now be in focus for a few days. Ads needs to be clicked and papers need to be sold.

I'm sure Settled Status will be just fine and The Home Office will process all 3 million or so EU citizens living here with no problems for anyone.

Just like happened for the EU citizens sent deportation letters last year by the Home Office - https://news.sky.com/story/home-off...etters-sent-to-100-eu-citizens-in-uk-11001868

Or the 6 year old British boy currently stranded abroad because The Home Office have now decided he should never have been given the British passport he left the UK on - https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/20...born-boy-left-stranded-stateless-home-office/

Unions reporting the targets which were strongly denied.

Voices in there head again maybe

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

It's hotting up...………….
The shadow Brexit secretary, Keir Starmer, has said during a visit to Brussels that Labour would vote against a proposed EU-UK free trade deal that is now being backed by Michel Barnier and David Davis, leaving such an arrangement with scant hope of being passed by parliament.

 

[portslade seagull]

Let’s hope so, as your pension might not stetch too far if prices go up further.

Bit late for all the pensioners who have suffered and still are due to the banking crisis wiping out pension pot values. Nothing to do with Brexit

 

[portslade seagull]

Tell that to the Windrush generation.

Are you blaming that on Brexit as well ??. Successive governments I'm afraid

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

If I see someone making an arse of themselves, my natural inclination is to help them out. Human nature I guess?

you can't help yourself can you

Was watching an episode of "All or Nothing - Manchester City" on Amazon the other day and Pep Guardiola was using the "F" word left right and centre. It got me thinking come Brexit will we take back control of our good old fashioned Anglo Saxon swear words? If we do then we might get something out of Brexit!

I believe it was Sir Richard Turnball, the last colonial Governor of Tanganyika, who once said:

"When the British Empire finally sinks beneath the waves of history, it will leave behind it only two memorials: one is the game of Association Football and the other is the expression 'F*** Off'."

The man was obviously a Brexit visionary, years ahead of his time.

That is from March, you want the one from June, since that one we have agreed 7 more articles of the 168. https://assets.publishing.service.g...ile/717697/Joint_Statement_-_19_June_2018.pdf

To me it looks like 3 of those have gone in as the EU drafted, 3 have had a couple of paragraphs removed and 1 has had a couple paragraphs inserted. Not bad for 3 months plus work.

Edit. Sorry, you need both as the latest just shows the updates and not the full text.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I believe that some of the more awkward decisions on a deal may be pushed back into the first extended EU membership period. (You know, the one called 'Implementation').

Should we have a poll to name the next period after that

 

[Baldseagull]

He doesn’t suggest we should deport 3 million Europeans if there's no deal in that either

Apparently we "overwhelmingly" voted to take back control of our borders, and letting people who are already here stay is willfully ignoring them. Classic Farage weasel talk, classic Fox feeding him and letting him talk bollocks.

 

[Lincoln Imp]

But surely in saying that to let them remain would be to ignore the wishes of the people he is implying that they shouldn't be allowed to remain?

The key word there is 'implying'. It is meat and drink to snake oil salesmen. Rabble-rousers like Farage and Johnson are adept at giving a clear impression of one thing while inserting a small semantic escape clause that allows them to claim they didn't actually say it, not literally-like. It was done with the referendum-clinching bus claim - "we didn't actually SAY we would have more money to give the NHS..." And it was certainly done with Farage's 'disturbing' poster. "Racism? Not my fault if people draw the wrong impression from me choosing to have my picture taken in front of a load of swarthy-looking blokes."

There will always be a few people prepared to defend them.
