[Politics] Brexit

[El Presidente]

To be fair at least 80% of them have taken it on the chin.

I have a large specialised film collection where this is also true.

 

[Grombleton]

I have just realised why we struggle to see most things differently, except the Albion.


You put a high degree on detail, like a Rory Stewart.
I like to peel back the detail and expose the stuff that really counts imo.

We are just different thinkers, opposites attract?

Are you flirting with her?

 

[CHAPPERS]

It's time to move on, even if you don't agree with it. Stop the arguing and get Brexit done whatever way that happens. Nothing more to add.

So you'd be happy with a 'soft' Brexit then. Good.

Correct.

And to help the healing from Jan 31st the labelling needs to stop. No more "...who voted xxx in the referendum" from the BBC etc.

Move on, remove the word "Brexit" from the lexicon, stop labelling people as re(main/moan)ers or leavers.

Get a great trade deal with maximum EEA access for key sectors. And I say join the EFTA group, which we left in 1973, as well.

You're right. I do pay a lot of attention to details. That's why catchy soundbites don't mean a thing to me.

Attract? Thanks, but no thanks.

Other than the powers devolved to Scotland and Wales, Westminster does govern Great Britain.

Devolved Parliaments and Northern Ireland.

 

[Eeyore]

The logic that Johnson no longer needs to rely on hardliners is simple enough. But presumably he's going ahead with the deal he's already made with the EU. So which parts of the deal are as yet undecided, and therefore in a position to become softer?

It's more what comes next.

It's more what comes next.

He also will be able to extend the transition period with relative ease.

 

[Two Professors]

Devolved Parliaments and Northern Ireland.

I always understood Hibernia to be a separate entity.Indeed,is it not the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?Hope Boris tells the sweaties to clear off,so we stop wasting money subsidising the deep-fried mars bar barbarians.They can drag down the EU with their begging bowl,and we will be even Greater Britain without them.

Better than no Brexit ....................

Get a great trade deal with maximum EEA access for key sectors. And I say join the EFTA group, which we left in 1973, as well.

Does EFTA still exist? Wouldn't mind - but is anybody still in it? I'd have thought most of its former members are in the EU now.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Better than no Brexit ....................

I've actually always agreed with this, even though it is more damaging than remaining. Most remainers I know always wanted a soft Brexit but the last few years have seen an attempt to hijack the result by the hardliners who should now be seen off if Johnson has the best interests of the country at heart.

I'm still fearful that No Deal is a real possibility though.

Norway and Switzerland.

And negotiate an additional new 'divorce bill' to cover the extension (the current one only covers us till the end of 2020).

 

[GOM]

Devolved Parliaments and Northern Ireland.

Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain, it is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Great Britain constitutes the 2 countries of England and Scotland and the Principality of Wales. i.e. The big island.

Just fantastic to see those that tried to ignore the mandate from the referendum in the situation they now find themselves. It was a great night and Brexit can finally get done. And I do hope we have finally consigned Blair and Major to history. Onwards and upwards. Good times lie ahead.

 

[Blue3]

As a remainer who reluctantly accepted Brexit while having grave concerns as to the type of Brexit that was being proposed by the Tories, I can no longer complain this is the mandate of the English that was required for BJ to crack on.

It's also the mandate of the Scottish people to have a second referndum on indipendance one which I suspect they will take.

As for my party the Labour Party it's a terrable result and one that will see us in the wilderness for the next five years as a minimum, JC has had two goes and while I like JC I can see he's not everyones cup of tea, and our manifesto while I agreed with most of it I think the public found it too much while the Tories had almost not manifesto other than lets get Brexit done a subject that Labour struggled with, so for Labour a time to regroup rethink what's needed to get the British public back voting for them again.

Well my George Orwell quote came true on Thursday 12th December 2019

A bizarre outcome to the election, in that those in England and Wales who have been shafted by the Conservatives for the past decade have now put them into government for another 5 years.

Such is the majority, I do wonder whether the Tory right really matters so much now? Boris will ultimately do what benefits him best, a proven liar that will throw anyone under the bus, seen it over and over again.

Tough choice ahead, he might decide a softer Brexit is a better route with more ££ for public services and trying to tame the Scottish Indy Ref 2 push.

There is chance to unite the country if he wants to take it, or he might obey Farage, moody think tanks etc.

Hoping for the best but still fear the worse and have taken appropriate action to protect myself and my family from the worse that could happen
