[Politics] Brexit

[Kinky Gerbil]

A so called "Hard" Brexit going by previous definitions on here is simply doing all the things that were voted for……ie Brexit.
So lets do both then, its not one or the other.
Or have the goal posts moved yet again and there is now a new version of your "hard" Brexit?

If you had to pick one, which is looking more likely - GFA or Brexit?

Italian elections Sunday. I expect Merkel is very worried with who looks likely to win.

I can't be bothered to google the Italian polls - who is likely to win ? And why would they worry Merkel so much ?

You can’t google any Italian polls because there aren’t any at the moment. They’re not allowed to publish them for the two weeks ahead of their election. Come on [MENTION=30242]spence[/MENTION], why?

Because the polls previous to the poll pause were showing strong support for the right wing which support less immigration and leaving the EU.

Is this the 5 Star lot? Who recently clarified their slightly ambiguous position on the Euro, and also the EU?

“In December 2017, the M5S electoral leader, Luigi Di Maio stated that he supported a referendum for Italy to leave the Eurozone and would vote to leave. However, in January 2018 he rejected his previous position, refusing the idea of a referendum on the Euro, which was previously strongly supported by the movement. In February 2018, Di Maio also stated that "European Union is the Five Star Movement's home".

Or is there someone else you’re referring to?

Both.
You don’t have to pick one or the other, its an unnecessary question.
The GFA will stay intact and we all know by now (The Brexit wont happen brigade are lunatics) that brexit will happen and we will leave the EU.

A hard Brexit is impossible without ripping up the GFA, and that won't happen. That much has been obvious for at least 6 months when it was first seriously raised as an issue.

Anyone who says otherwise is completely deluded. The UK wants to change the status quo, so the UK needs to find a solution. It's no good Brexiteers blaming the EU for making things difficult, that is laughable bollocks.

The only solution that involves leaving the EU that will work is to maintain a customs union. It's that simple, and that is what will happen. Then we can get on with the serious business of making ourselves poorer but avin our cuntry back.

Mine is the solution that was omitted from the draft, the one that could involve technology with regards to customs, the option that is actually being considered between us and the UK as a viable alternative to the fall back position outlined badly by the EU yesterday.
Considering we are leaving the single market and leaving The customs union what is your preferred solution to Ireland knowing both of those are true.?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Yay .. another unpatriotic far left apologist troll joins this thread. Just what we need.

That is hilarious. Harry Wilson's Tackle & I have both served our country in the the RN. Unpatriotic and far left?
You seem desperate to put down anyone who puts forward an alternative opinion.

So is this one using technology that has been omitted a secret ? Tell us more

What are the advantages of joining a customs union where we have no vote no veto no influence or input on our international trade or the international trade The EU will do on our behalf, because we will be out of the EU body that makes these decisions?

No its not a secret, are you seriously going to say you havnt heard of both sides discussing technological solutions.

 

[WATFORD zero]

No its not a secret, are you seriously going to say you havnt heard of both sides discussing technological solutions.

So that's your answer ?

I'll try once more.

Out of interest, what's your preferred solution to Ireland (As a clue, you may want to talk about borders, GFA, DUP, Movement of people, Goods, etc etc)

Its incredibly naive to believe its not possible to be far left and unpatriotic......there is serious form on that particular front.
They often told porkies and denied it.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Ere, you knowalls.

When we get our country back, does that mean we can get back to naming the storms as we want? The last couple have been named by the fecking Irish and the fecking Portuguese ...Emma for goodness sake!

I can't wait till next march when we can get our country back and name the storms as we want...tell the Europeans to **** off!

 

[daveinprague]

Today, the UK bracing themselves for another day of the Beast from the East. In Prague its just Thursday, despite being -10C

 

[daveinprague]

Love to see people who have never served their country. In any capacity. Dissing people who have. Brilliant.

Wow, unpatriotic and naive.

Porkies? Boris Johnson & Nigel Farage are experts.

Why do you even waste one seconds breath and typing digits arguing with these people?

Anyone who disrespects people who put their lives in the line to protect the Uk has lost the argument straight away....
