[Politics] Brexit

[Kinky Gerbil]

And it will be hilarious when the EU pop a tarif on it

You really could not make this up.

50 million is a lot to the new budget Britain - got to find that 350 million a week still.

Passport and fish- two things that don’t matter that much in the bigger picture

That’s basically what Brexit is.

 

[daveinprague]

and luckily, we will be able to fish anywhere we like, and not expect to pay tariffs. Apparently.

Blue passports to be made by Franco-Dutch company

Prit Pee calls it "a national humiliation". Oh well...

The outrage of Daily Mail readers is burning so hard, I can feel the heat. Much spluttering of indignation over the complan this morning. 'Have you seen this Dorothy.' 'Isn't it dreadful.' 'Tut tut tut.'

Ah damn I was hoping to be the first to post about the passport thing.

I haven't stopped laughing since I read it.

Does anyone really give a toss where a passport is made (or what colour it is) ?

We’re leaving the EU. We’re not going to war with the EU.

It’s a complete non story.

Au contraire Mon Ami.
It is high farce in the best British traditions.
"Taking back control" : "Brexit means Brexit" : "business moves across the channel"





If you voted leave this must be the most hugely embarrassing moment.

Government tenders over 100k go out to EU tender, we can go more protectionist after Brexit.

 

[pastafarian]

Tendering process under existing EU regulations.(we havnt left yet)
No British firm bias permitted.
No preference for British jobs allowed.
No need now for the De La Rue planned investment if they had secured the deal.

You remoaners love all that, no wonder you are all laughing….....…...bizarre behaviour .

Will still be nice to have European Union erased from the front though.

 

[ManOfSussex]

The national humiliation/non story made the front page of Brexit backing The Daily Telegraph.

 

[daveinprague]

So, rushing forward with the passport thing was... not thought through particularly well?

The rumour is Tory Brexiteers thought "De La Rue" was a French company so they didn't get the contract!!

 

[Jim in the West]

I love the fact that the Telegraph thinks the U.K. is not part of Europe!!

 

[Titanic]

Seems like a good way to continue our good trading relationships with our European neighbours, and flies in the face of 'inward looking' and 'cut off from our EU trading partner' etc...

Not sure what all the fuss is about. Seems like a non-event to me.

Hilarious... and where did they think "Gemalto" came from?

 

[daveinprague]

haha a good way to continue our working relationship? Code for...we ****ed up

The existing contract is due to expire,a new contract needs to exist if we want passports.Nothing was rushed forward

In 2019. Still, its blue, and from what ive been told here, new trade agreements wont take long at all.

You would like to think so wouldn't you. Trouble is there are lots of Breixit types who are completely outraged over this and do give a toss (just look at the press coverage and comments on other websites etc.); pathetic isn't it?!
