[Politics] Brexit

A £660billion Brexit Trade deal with the EU

Well done Boris and co, at least you didn't waver and collapse like the Theresa May Brexit team did, you stood firm, held your nerve and fought for your country.

This will have truly upset those in at the BBC who don't easily hide their contempt for Johnson and his party.

Also, I hear Nicola Sturgeon isn't too pleased with how Scotland will fare in the deal...so it must be a good deal for England then

Rafael Behr is a Guardian columnist

Yes, we guessed!

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I know absolutely nothing about politics and never voted in my life, is this a good or a bad thing for the average working class of this country?

Nobody knows.

With the impact of Covid on the economy (bad, as you already know according to your description of your experience) it will probably be impossible to tell, either. It will be easy to blame any bad outcomes on the economic impact of the virus.

It won't affect me personally but I'm shaking my head sadly, and I feel sorry for those who will find themselves in a bad place. Even if the impact is bad a lage number of people won't really care.

I don’t mean to be harsh, but this is my experience with the vast majority of Brexit voters unfortunately. Even on this very thread, have you seen a good solid argument for why Brexit is a good thing?

“Less red tape”... err, ok.

Completely duped by Farage, Cameron and his Tory cronies.

Those pesky 52% who voted Brexit, always with the excuses of why they don't have 100 cast iron arguments why they voted the way they did

 

[GT49er]

Britain was a 'democracy' run through Parliament that institution was smashed when it was decided to have an advisory vote on leaving the EU......

Cameron was lying to the country then. Either that or you didn't hear, or didn't understand, his pre-referendum speech.

 

[Mackenzie]

Sad times for those of us very much against Brexit and who consider ourselves part of Europe.

Ah well. At least the NHS will have millions more now. Riiight? That’s what your boy Farage said.

I voted remain, but I’m relieved we’ve got something sorted out.

 

[portslade seagull]

So we only get back 25% of our fish, over 5 years, oh dear

Did you listen to his statement the EU originally wanted 14yrs whilst we asked for 3yrs. Don't mention that though

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Two lines in. Labour should oppose it. Yay, let's have a No-Deal crash out of Europe Brexit instead. That's the obvious way forward now.

I love the way Mail readers get mocked by posters who live and breathe by what they read in the Guardian, yet no trace of irony.

Labour won't oppose it unless it is a capitulation. The Guardian isn't the labour party, and a few chatterbox MPs isn't the labour party any more than the ERG are the tory party.

My understanding is the Northern Ireland issue has been kicked like a can down the road again, with an eventual hard border in the Irish sea the likely outcome. We won't really see how good or bad this deal is until all the final arrangements are in place.

25% in 5 years is still shit.

If someone threatens to cut my ear off, but agrees after discussion to merely kick me in the bollocks, it will still hurt

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Britain can now get these separate trade deals with the booming Asia market and developing Africa ones. Its all good in the long term.

The great deals that Asia refuses to make with the EU you mean?

Like what exactly?

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Boris gets stuff done.

Perhaps the sweat brothers on here will look forward to progression in 2021.

Let's all pull together.

Yes, only just been announced and nobody has read it or fully understands it yet.
Who the fuk do you think you are telling people to pull together.
Without doubt you are the most pathetic and needy little drip in this board.
Why dont you wait until the detail comes out and then see if it is good or bad for the country as a whole like any sensible person would.
Take your hand off your todger and wait.

 

[portslade seagull]

I just wonder if celebrating a deal without knowing what it is, isn't a little ....


.. well...



Locadia

Just celebrate and stop crying

 

[Wardy's twin]

Cameron was a liar and an idiot and probably hasn't changed. Either way Parliament has been left weakened by what went on because people do not trust it.

Still better than the 14yrs the EU wanted, small steps

 

[Bodian]

Better not mention that just last week we were demanding 60% not 25% either then. So overall we have lost that bargaining game, as we might have shortened the term, but get less than we wanted for every year after that, forever.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

So how long before Ireland unites?

 

[CHAPPERS]

No Erasmus. Shameful reduction in the future prospects of every child in the country. Disgusting.

Had to temporary take you off the 'Harry' button (open to negotiation).

As this is the day of the DEAL, I wondered whether we could strike one ourselves, you take me off ignore and I will take you off ignore

I will draw the line at tongues at this point.

What do ya say, big boy

So we don't have control of our waters, is this for real?!
