Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

Do you think there will be a Deal or No Deal?


  • Total voters
    194
  • Poll closed .
Fair point. Although JC would lose so much voter support it would amount to a reshaping of British politics he could see power long enough to do a deal.

Also note that we are basing the argument at the assumption of the uk government having a change of heart regarding brexit
 
As Mr Barnier said to Boris: “I don’t hear whistling, just the clock ticking.”

Barnier must not have heard of the mighty intellect of our Boris, he swats him off like a fly.

I think jc is already paving the way to this through his job first strategy eith the eu. His bromance with barnier suggest that they are on the same page. A big chunk of brexiters are either right wing (ie not jc voters) or ancient. They are hardly the vote base to build the future upon

What i think will happen is that jc will push the uk to enter the eaa and then use all tools available to stop eu member citizens from abusing on benefits. That will appease the anti immigrant but not xenophobic faction within his party without crushing the economy
 
“The British public are sophisticated enough to understand that they can’t ‘have their cake and eat it’, and will need to make and accept compromises to reach a deal.”

The same British public who are fine with the same limitations we already had before they voted to feck the British economy. It's an interesting definition of sophistication..
 
“Financial settlement is the priority,” one EU diplomat told the Politico website.
“The EU will not walk away from talks but will stall them. The impression we got so far is that the UK is not ready for these talks.”


Another EU diplomat said: “It is reasonable to expect the Brits to say something other than ‘we will not pay a penny.’ If that’s not the case, what is there to talk about?”
 
Yeah my mistake I was ment to be it into the 500K thread(I had this thread opened at the same time).
I wasn't saying you were at fault (although admittedly the 500k would have been better), the bloke that made the tweet made the erroneous link, not you.

Apparently it's a producer of wildlife shows for David Attenborough … I wonder what these idiots did (that we don't see) to make the guy act so "primate" in the first place. Now it's a "media incident" that question will never be asked – the guy is sacked!
 
:lol: @ that road rage video. This in the comments underneath slayed me

short summery of the negative side of Brexit. Posen is a huge EU fan, so his analysis is certainly one-sided nonetheless anyone who fancies Brexit (hardly anyone here, but personally I know some rather deluded people) should listen to this.

I don't think he says anything they haven't ignored a million times before.

Oh what a massive cnut. I knew as soon as he said that a problem with Europe was the welfare state that he was going to have a go at Corbyn.

Get him on that fecking steamboat.

You mention this already but he is heavily biased and is exaggerating massively sometimes to the point of lying (even though his general theme is correct). Not sure what the context of this speech is but he is not going to get through to one leaver with that stuff.
 
Councils ask Treasury to replace lost EU regeneration funds post-Brexit
..
Kevin Bentley, an executive member of the LGA, said: “Since the referendum, one of the biggest concerns for councils has been the future of vital EU regeneration funding. Councils have used EU funds to help new businesses start up, create thousands of new jobs, roll out broadband and build new roads and bridges.

Has there been a single bit of good news yet? Everything about Brexit so far is like the country is shitting itself.
There has been good news just last week, if you chose to ignore it then tuff. For some people there will never be good news even when there is good news.

Hmm, so there was good news but you're not willing to share with us what that good news actually was? Seems legit.

I went hunting: Maybe this???

I remember something about BMW announcing they would build their electric Mini in Oxford last week as well. Here's an article about it.

Also CBI manufacturing survey hits its highest level in 29 years (Financial times, so possibly paywalled).

The Telegraph also reported on the sector experiencing a growth in hiring.

The always trustworthy Trump administration also reaffirmed its earnest desire to pursue a trade deal with us. Apparently it will be very big and exciting.



Then again, maybe this.

A lot of it, particularly the manufacturing stuff, is probably due to the weakness of the pound - itself caused in large part by Brexit.
 
My Brexiter mate was telling me how good 0.3% growth is.

Until I pointed out that we'll probably be bottom of the EU28 table for a second quarter running
