Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

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


  • Total voters
    194
  • Poll closed .
The most hilarious outcome would be if you guys end up somehow remain-ing . Will be a laughing stock for everybody but at this point nobody would mind, it seems.
From what I can see most non-British are totally bemused by the whole thing, as are many of us too of course. Can't argue with laughing stock though, the cap fits I'm afraid.

On the plus side if we do remain I don't think the Tories as we know them would survive, a huge number of Tory voters would never vote Tory again.
 
Can someone tell me where the mirror stands politically, I was looking for Maguire news and stumbled on this.

 
I'm a Type 1 insulin dependant diabetic, I have no concerns with a no deal brexit, countries traded pre EU, not sure what the fuss is about, and btw artificial insulin isn't produced only in the EU.

So you have no idea how trade deals work but you are a diabetic who isnt worried so nobody else should be? I would rather have the secure feeling that my life saving medicine is in guaranteed supply rather than hoping for the best it will be. Lets hope this does'nt bite you in the arse next year.
 
I'd have thought everyone knew the Mirror was solid Labour. Although to be honest I haven't read it since that fat crook Maxwell took it down market and stole the pension funds. Before he got hold of it the Mirror was about the left's equivalent to the Mail, not quite broadsheet but more content than the Sun and Star. Maxwell wanted another Sun though.

It's staunchly left and I'd have it as the Mail of the left. The DM pretends it's an intelligent paper too- all the Mirror did was get rid of page 3 in a bid to be more 'upmarket'.

Theresa May is a T1 as well so that's somewhat reassuring for T1s in the UK.

Although, people should be more worried that the Tories will move towards a US healthcare model. Good luck to the ordinary Joe attempting to live comfortably with a long term illness in that scenario.
 
It makes me sad how very true that article is.

The conclusion is true too, it's far better if the UK leave and preferably without any "soft" deals. If in 20 years you want to comeback or if the EU doesn't exist, so be it. But we should never pretend that brexit didn't happen or that we can be friends with benefits.

I vaguely remember Cameron's son being disabled and using some govt program, which Cameron's govt nonetheless cut.

I'm sure May would have her supply at the ready if things did go tits up. As always politicians often operating on a different playing field to the average person who's impacted by their actions.
 
The Insulin story turned out to be BS, the company that provides them expects no shortages in a no deal exit.

But that makes no sense either, the tiny amount that is produced in the UK will hardly have any effect and people talk as if, in the case that there are shortages they would only be temporary, not just of insulin. Yes the companies can have buffer stock, which is economically inefficient but for how long. It's as if there would be a few days of suffering and then everything will go back to normal. What?

The UK will just pay import duty and fast track medical trucks at the border. It's not a good outcome but it's not going to lead to people dying from lack of medicine as the initial story implied.
 
More or less. One likely scenario is Britain has to completely liberalise their border to imports (you can't selectively do it under WTO rules) which is one of the reasons the EU doesn't want taxes collected this side of the border.

So anything and everything can enter the UK without checks. Dumping, smuggling, illegal immigrants, arms etc will be rife. Just as well Brexiters want to control their borders.
Don't forget the documentation, VAT, Tariffs etc to be collected.

Trouble is those lorries that enter the UK have to come out again, and they will be checked on re-entering the EU.

I mean, that already happens and aside from illegal migrants the current levels of trafficking more than meet the demand so there's no reason to think they'll skyrocket.

But the Uk will be known as an easy target very quickly. At the moment they are answerable to the EU for collecting the correct taxes etc - afterwards they're only answerable to themselves. I thought illegal immigrants were important to Brexiters.

Plus if the UK allows goods in unchecked they'll never get a deal with the EU.

At least mdma prices might come down I guess?
