The Brexit Thread

[ASMO]

The complete lack of self awareness from a man who couln't outwit a napkin.

Meanwhile they're wondering how these EU nations are acting with soverignty over their borders.

I'd have a lot more respect for the Brexit position if its main proponents weren't so obviously thick.

I love the "we" have defeated" part, anyone would think the Russians and Americans had nothing to do in the war except sit back and watch the Little Englanders sweep all before them.

Gotta love how it's always "we" and not our grandparents, forefathers etc as if they personally had a hand in it. And this from a Royal Marine dropout.

And they never banged on about defeating the Hun because they witnessed just how bloody awful it was, as opposed to viewing it through the lens of Commando comics and war films where people who get shot just clutch themselves and fall over.

We've just spent 5 years at war with each other, devalued the £ by 20%, savaged our economy, quit the world's largest free trade zone, created a mountain of red tape & flushed £200bn down the drain to 'control our borders'. 6 EU states just did it in 24 hours with a press release

I find this a bit trite - closing borders on an emergency basis is not the same as permanently opting out of one of the pillars of the single market.

Have the boats stopped arriving on the Kent coast then?

What the hell are we paying Farage for??

I presume you mean boats with refugees, not fish or ferries. So... Remind us, what's the difference now we've left the EU?

I don’t really care. Your constant framing of a motive is all I’m referring too. It’s nasty and dishonest ....

One of the scum convicted today was returned from Romania on a European arrest warrant; & there was seamless cooperation between 5 or 6 different police forces to bring all those involved to justice; come January, all that gets much, much harder; as repeatedly stated by the UK Police, & denied by the Tories.

You don't care now? Weird, since you brought it up

Coppers and lorry drivers clashing in Kent as tensions boil over. Good practice for January for all.

I saw on twitter this:

"The truckers don’t have toilet facilities and are dependent on volunteers for food. And we’re expected to believe this crisis shows we’re “ready” for a no deal exit."

It is a point what on earth have they been doing?

A point not really put out there by the media tbh.
This really is a monumental lack of planning ahead of the January deadline.
They are getting more brazen with their lies by the day.
Boris' 174 lorries

[tabascoboy]

Eh, come on - you seriously expect measures to be fully in place BEFORE the necessary date? This is BoJo's Britain here, nothing more needed than a bit of chutzpah and va va voom.

Yeah, you’re right. It just needs Johnson to tell them to buckle down and pull together and I’m sure none of them will need a shit for a week.

So with over 4000 lorries parked up in Kent and 1,000's standing idle at hauliers around the country due to a couple of days cross channel closures. How long will that mayhem last if there's no deal? Months?

[C69]

Vassalage rears it's scrabbly head again over Boris' capitulation with Gibraltar.
Shameful really, they mightbas well just hand the keys to the rock over to the Spaniards.
What use is a blue passport if you have to show them to enter a Crown Territory when EU citizens can swan straight in.

Would this be the Brexit supporter Lord Lawson?

It is indeed. There's something satisfying when reading tales such as this

[westport]

With the few lorries hanging about Kent no one has mentioned the ones hanging around at the other end, it is just as bad.

Deal is done

He'll claim that the bumblecunt has been done up like a kipper.

Multiple sources on both sides saying its done or very close to being done.

[frodder]

Thank fudge for that.

Now we'll see the meltdown from Baker, Francois (seems to have come back to life again) and Farage. For that alone it'll make compulsive viewing

[C69]

Feck you, you European bastards and stick your Super state up your star flagged arse.

Serves the stupid fecker right. I honestly think these guys thought they would have been above the law.

However very jealous about having a house in Cahor. Stopped there on a cycling trip when I was a student and remember drinking lots of the local red wine and eating roast chicken and fresh french bread on bank of river close to the bridge. Beautiful areas. Just fantastic! Suffered the next day - roasting hot and cycling up one feckin hill after another.

If you fancy a good Christmas eve laugh then pop over to the DM comments section.

Colonel Blimp has never been so unhappy

Its really the hardest of hard Brexit's but a segment will never be happy.


Fuck em.

Farage predictably enraged, and C4s Faux Queens Xmas message might just sent him into full on apoplexy

So despite all the leaks to the press last night that there would be an announcement of a deal first thing, still no deal agreed yet.
Analysts generally agreeing that it is a fairly "thin" deal that will be agreed in the end

There will of course be major challenges in the future relationship. Ultimately the EU achieved their main goals from Brexit, and the UK arguably did not. The EU successfully avoided a border on the island of Ireland and protected the single market from significant cherry picking. The UK succeeded in the headline goal of leaving the EU, but failed as proponents had expected to retain the benefits of membership without incurring the costs, and more recently in overturning any of the withdrawal agreement as the staunch Brexiteers had hoped. The EU also looks stronger for demonstrating so far that leaving is not an easy option, while the UK’s ability to maintain trade relations while escaping ‘the Brussels Effect’ of following EU regulations is going to be tested, business for example will wish to reverse the decision to leave some European regulatory agencies.

Its 99.9% there - I don't think it will be allowed to be derailed now.


We will get hot takes of the deal from all sides of all which will shockingly match the authors pre existing views.
