[Politics] Brexit

[Thunder Bolt]

Why bother claiming to seek 'justification' when you hoped for a second referendum less than 36 hours after the first one when there was zero justification other than wishing Remain had won and Leave had lost, you then sneer at Brexiteers that might 'shout about destroying democracy' some time later ........ what would you call it ?

Corruption.

 

[nicko31]

Well yes, a public enquiry on this is needed too.

We need a Muller style investigation and Brexit should be paused until we know the truth, it won't happen...

They still have 26 other countries, plus their trade agreements around the world, ie Australia, Japan, Canada etc to trade with.
Our imports will be zero rated according to the government, so loads can come in, but we will become massively expensive to buy from so our exports will tank.

Which is obvs very beneficial to the EU.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Have you got a link for that?

It's a thread, rather than a stand alone tweet

The new tariff regime would mark a shift in favour of products from non-EU countries.

It would mean 82% of imports from the EU would be tariff-free, down from 100% now.

92% percent of imports from the rest of the world would pay no border duty, up from 56%.

Ireland’s European affairs minister, Helen McEntee, said the prospect of tariffs on beef and dairy exports to the UK from the republic would be “absolutely disastrous for Irish agriculture”.

Up goes the border in the Irish sea, bye bye UK...

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

PMQ today should be interesting...

I hope her “sore throat” has got better.

Corruption.

Good one, is that how you circumvent the democracy bit, except neither you or [MENTION=1320]Notters[/MENTION] seemingly weren't aware of any alleged corruption shortly after the referendum whilst still calling for another one .........

Good. There was a much larger leave majority in England.

Signing deals with Italy's far right as we speak.

We are lost. It's almost done.

Seriously? We import hundred of billions worth from the EU. That would be affected, therefore affecting their economies.

Pretty much everyone accepts that the EU would lose out from a no deal - the EU have themselves have even accepted this. They just say the UK would suffer worse. So to suggest No Deal would not lead to any suffering on the EU's part is ridiculous.

The lack of objectivity on these threads is sometimes too much.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

“If the UK still wants to leave the EU in an orderly manner, this treaty is, and will remain, the only treaty possible," Barnier said.

The U.K. still has the “we buy fleets of German cars and oceans of Prosecco” card to play right? You must have, as “we can have our cake and eat it and they need us” etc etc.

I will keep you informed of my suffering

 

[Is it PotG?]

I will keep you informed of my suffering

You could take some photos and post them.

 

[seagulls4ever]

I will keep you informed of my suffering

Can you remind me again on the outcome of the Greek referendum?

 

[ManOfSussex]

Good. There was a much larger leave majority in England.

So you're Brexit at any cost and happy to see the UK get broken up, so long as Little England is out of the evil clutches of The EU?

 

[beorhthelm]

Up goes the border in the Irish sea, bye bye UK...

not according to the announcments/articles linked. we'll have to see what the Irish/EU would do about that border, especially how transit goods would be controled.

would be ironic if, having not bent on a back stop issue, No Deal came about and the Irish didn't apply any controls set out in the back stop.

I hope her “sore throat” has got better.

Nope, but its allowed her script writers to make puns about not having her own voice but having the voice of the people

How do you know when I called for another referendum? How do you know when I became aware of the Electoral Law being broken.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

More duplicity from May and the Tories. Free vote on one amendment which isn't so important but a three line whip on the binding amendment.

So they're allowing a free vote on Malthouse, but not a free vote on Dromey/Spelman?

Whilst sneaking in abolishing the 4 hour waiting rule at NHS A&Es yesterday, hoping nobody would notice.

It's not just the 4 hours waiting times at A&E that is bad news. Hospitals are so underfunded. I needed a letter from a stroke specialist to my ADHD Clinic to enable meds to be prescribed. The secretary is so snowed under it has been 10 days and finally she called to say it had been sent.

#NHS in safe hands.
