BREXIT - A Poll & Discussion

[ian16th]

A brilliant article, read this morning but which I can no longer find, on the multi billion euro road being built, subsidised by the EU, and described as a 'prestige project' in a French province. A miracle of engineering since it's built in the sea - alongside the coast - on the island of Réunion. It was apparently 'not possible' to widen the existing parallel road.

The residents of Reunion are quite proud that they have some of the most expensive roads in the EU!

An overwhelming sensation of deja vu sweeps over me as I sit glued to the meeja waiting for the High BMI female to squawk;



“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting to get different results”.

4.5 years after the majority of the peasants voted to escape from the leg-irons and still we’re chained to the wall, despite our theatrical PM bragging ‘Get Brexit Done!’.

Dom Cummings May have left the building but isn’t he still on the end of Zoom or WhatsApp or whatever functions as a lead and choke chain these days?



What chance our waffling PM holds his nerve in the face of snarling EUSSR “partners”?

From the 'outside view', it's hard to see the sense in the last activities, especially the anger of Johnson's calls allegedly not being answered by some leaders. One would think there has been plenty of time to talk anyway?

I read that 700,000 EU jobs depend on an agreed Brexit. Can this be true ?

How? By Brits not buying the produce?

How? By Brits not buying the produce?

The general disruption to trade.

Think of the motor industry as an example, engines made in the UK exported to an assembly plant in the EU built up car exported to UK for sale.

Do the above for each component manufactured inside/outside of the EU and imported/exported at differing stages of assembly.

That's just cars!

[probes]

But the disruption of trade is working both ways?

British foreign minister Dominic Raab said the bar was quite high for continuing discussions but that negotiations could “drag on”. “Never say never,” he told the BBC, saying the British side needed the EU to shift position on two issues.

“We want to be treated like any other independent self-respecting democracy. If the EU can accept that at a political level, then there’s every reason to be confident but there is still, I think, a long way to go,” he told Sky News.

On the same programme, Spanish foreign minister Arancha Gonzalez Laya retorted: “A trade deal is not made to assert one’s independence but to manage our interdependence.”

The leftie woke snivelers are in full cry, Milliband blubbing on the telly, Heseltine wheezing defiance from his old peoples home, but all to no avail.

Mr Johnson advises us to prepare for a no deal from 1st January 2021, well, at least there is someone in the political world prepared to do the job. Gunboats on alert, (except in Scotland where Sturgeon has tea and sandwiches ready for the French fisherpersons), and we are off.

Low taxes, dump the red tape, Singapore style off shore tax rules, numerous free ports, 2021 is going to be great, I love it when the lefties cry. I never watch the BBC but I might watch the news on news years day, just to see them bright red with rage.

A firm in Grantham is the foremost European producer of remanufactured car engines. I don't think they do Mercedes but they do engines for the other German car makers.

Mr Johnson advises us to prepare for a no deal from 1st January 2021, ...

that is, unless they postpone it for the umpteenth time.

Boris is not telling anybody anything, save for you to wipe the jelly over own **** arse as you are being ****, you idiot. (Jeez who rostered me to fly with this **** moron?)...

[TheGreenGoblin]

barkingmad you are reaching om15 prick rating...

[TheGreenGoblin]

Apart from exponential nature of the nascent prospector thing...

[barkingmad]

BM calling om15,
Do you think we will be held jointly and severally responsible for poor demented TGG’s ultimate demise from an uncontrollable outburst of incandescent rage?

It might be sensible to take out liability insurance just in case he pops a fuse and we get blamed for inflammatory postings?

[om15]

It is noticeable that the noisy minority in the media and on various internet forums are becoming increasingly angry at being in the minority. The intransigence of the authoritarian and dictatorial EU are driving the talks to a no deal conclusion, for which of course we will receive the blame.
Despite my earlier misgivings it seems that Mr Johnson is intent on fulfilling the election pledge, backed up by his cabinet and Party, we are on line for a complete severance with the EU, it has been a long time coming but will be delicious for all that.

I just love that expression "crashing out of the EU" first thing in the morning.

I just love that expression "crashing out of the EU" first thing in the morning.

As a non-native, I had trouble with the meaning of the expression. Can't be 'break free suddenly', as the PM is still 'there', isn't he? Trying to get a better deal?

[barkingmad]

Stop talking. Start walking.

But BoJo won’t do that because he’s only just clever enough to realise that if the UK walked, we’d be blamed for everything which goes wrong in EUrope in future, including pestilence, locusts, Frogs and meteor strikes in the next few decades.

So he is probably being urged by Dom Cum via ‘burner’ mobile phones, so that evidence of messages will be untraceable, to hang in there until reaching the famous ‘wire’, and then some, so that UVDL and that ghastly Barmyer will get the blame for it all turning pear-shaped.

I have acquired my bottle of English fizz with which to celebrate the Fat Lady singing at the end of this month, deal or no deal.

Dunno. I'm somewhat disappointed in the country of my favorite language - the UK was supposed to be the star to leave proudly (and there definitely is plenty in the EU to make one wonder, to put it diplomatically), and now, after 4 years of 'negotiating', it has descended to the PM threatening to gun down the French fishermen. Seriously, would he? Is it really worth it? Wouldn't it have been cheaper to just pay the Br fishermen for what the French catch (of their pie, as the PM says)? Do they even want to be the 'last snag'? Well, along with the 2 other issues.

[OFSO]

One might think that having owned property in Spain since 1993 and spending time there, French fishermen might not be of concern to me. Well, not so. Every now and then the Gallic hunters of fish head south and intrude on Catalan waters, and lo! a Spanish warship appears to chivvy the French back to the waters of their own revier North of the Cap de Creus. Give Johnny Frog an inch and he'll take several metres...they are not loved here.
