[Politics] Brexit

[beorhthelm]

They might not want to do that at this precise moment in time. But that is not to say they may not change their minds down the line. I know such a notion is anathema to Brexiters but it is possible for people to change their minds when presented with new facts and evidence.

you'd think so but here we are.

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Thought as much. Ninety percent bull. Thanks for confirmation. Oh, and as for your pompous point about my mate, it was he who brought the subject up and characterised his opinion as one dimensional, not me. As he said, it's not something that really interests him. And as I said, he might well vote the same way again.

Same old Impster blind to/coveniantly ignores all the bull posted by Remoaners on here and avoids the question ... Have you told your 'mate' you characterised his views as 'Do you want fewer immigrants in the country' and was a bit shocked to find out it's more complicated than that'. on social media?

Given I haven't identified him, given his position is probably not unusual and given I am not saying anything about his point of view that he hasn't said himself, no. Would you expect Pasta to clear or confirm that post of his with each of the dozens and dozens of 'Yanks' who apparently gave him their particular views on Brexit?

Thought as much. I think it highly likely his pov and reasons for voting the way he did are a bit more informed and diverse than your condescending caricature.

Holy lord. I've repeatedly said that the explanation for my friend voting the way he did came from him, not me. This exchange is revealing a classic JC technique - ignore the points being made whilst adopting a lofty and patronising sneer.

Whats the finalised fishing arrangement ?

Sorry, did you want something too? No need to specify, just say yes and I'll go back and see if they've e got anything left. Problem is last time I was in there I moaned about his prices and told him his food was awful. Told him he was a rip-off so I don't know what they'll be prepared to do for me.

Of course, he explained his view in the way you characterised.

Quite a common affliction for Remainers on this thread.

No,I suspect the hygiene and "friendship" practices of you and Herr T are rather questionable, don’t want your grubby hands near my food so ill pass thanks.

Good for Jezza, sure he doesnt want or need undemocratic loons on his front bench.

Defence secretary Gavin Williamson threatens to send in the Navy against EU fishing boats.

 

[ManOfSussex]

"With these state-of-the-art, vastly capable ships we stand ready to protect our fisheries once Britain leaves the EU"

"An ally of Brexit boss David Davis said the Defence Secretary’s boasts about gunboats patrolling British waters were “madness.”

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5887798/eu-brexit-fish-war-williamson/

First he threatens Putin, now he threatens The EU over fish - Gavin 'well 'ard' Williamson. I wouldn't want to get into an altercation with him outside a kebab shop at 0230 in the morning - I might fall over laughing and drop my doner.

The grown-ups on this thread (i.e. those who don't spend 99% of their time flinging insults at each other) might find this article of interest. It revisits the 'soft Brexit' Norway option and predicts that this will be the most likely direction of travel for the UK.

Unless you are an out-and-out 'clean break' Brexiteer (and I know that some are) then we've got to look at some sort of post-leaving relationship that preserves the 'good bits'. This model might be the compromise between the 2nd referendum and the hard Brexit proponents, although I suspect it'll be too soft for most Leavers.

Anyway it's a serious position worth considering and probably a better way of spending time than lobbing huge quantities of mud at each other (although. OK, not as much fun).

Norway model means accepting free movement
Sounds like you were unaware of the discussion on immigration during the referendum

As for migration, Efta arrangements embrace a register of EU nationals, controls on their citizenship and property ownership and expulsion if they are out of work for six months

Register of EU Nationals = Settled Status, which will be up and running sometime in the next 10 years, hence why new EU nationals arriving during the transition will be treated the same as those already here, as will those arriving when the transition is extended beyond 2020 etc.

As I've said all along (an observation, not my preference)

TM will negotiate the softest of soft Brexits (the only option that's been available to her since day 1), and then like every politician, won't have the balls to see it through with all the ramifications.

So it will be thrown back at the electorate with a three way, negotiated option, WTO option, cancel Article 50

That's when the fun will start

Thanks. Don't want to be patronising but this is a typical thread style i.e. you immediately 'personalise' the post although not in a way as grossly insulting as is becoming customary in these parts. Of course I was aware of immigration as an issue but thanks for making the point from which I'll infer that you regard the Norway option as a non-runner for this reason.
