E.U: Leave or Stay? Your thoughts.

I hate it when you see something coming, know it's going to happen and it turns out pretty much as you expected.

 

Yea but, having done a little reading it seems the plan to avoid a hard border is to sign a FTA with the EU at 11:01 on March the 29th, they seem to be ignoring the fact that we can't start negotiating a FTA with the EU until after we've agreed the WA and simply copying and pasting existing EU rules and regulations into a FTA would mean we'd be the supposed vassal state they're vehemently opposed to.

That it would make signing FTA's with other countries nigh on impossible and it would be cherry picking the freedom of trade without the freedom of capital, services, and labour while paying nothing for the privilege.

 

Well, it'll be easy and deals with the EU are always done in a matter of seconds.

After nearly 3 years of insisting the EU does something it has always said it won’t do, Theresa May decides to insist the EU does something it's always said it won't do.

Genius. What could possibly go wrong.

 

With the current state of technology, the EU, who will be watching, should just do what everyone else does. Fire out a tweet saying "We've discussed the possibility of re-opening talks amongst ourselves, and we're sticking with what we've already agreed to. No need to fly over, please continue debating amongst yourselves."

 

I know right?

This has been a thing since Chequers.

If they take a half term break in February they need to be tried for treason.

 

It's been a thing since Lancaster House, if not since the vote itself.

 

Lancaster, Chequers, Blackpool, on JRM's 'to do but ignore' list - I couldn't quite rightly remember.

 

MPs have rejected both the deal and the no-deal but look likely to vote for renegotiating the deal (which cannot be renegotiated).

(They sure like having the chance to vote more than just the once on things...)

 

So basically its May's deal as is or remain.

 

This is exactly what happens when you ask for something unworkable to be implemented by a bunch of incompetent people who don't like each other.

 

No, it's Parliament votes through something or no deal on March the 29th.

Today they held an empty show of hands, they didn't amend Article 50 and they didn't cancel it, so it is still the law that we leave the EU at the end of March. Rees Mogg must be giddy with glee.

 

Parliament are insisting the iceberg move rather than make any attempt to change course or stop. But they're reaffirming their committment to not hitting the iceberg.

 

welcome to my world.

Funny thing is, that's how the UK tabloids always make the EU out to be. Irony is such a cruel mirror.

 

Iceberg confirms it won't move.

Can't wait to watch Brexit: the Comedy on Netflix in a few years time.

 

May be a disaster movie.

 

I don't think there's a political reporter in the entirity of the eu with an intact liver right now.

the Americans aren't impressed -

Ah I see.

 

Nobody will negotiate with the UK. It's not that other countries don't think they could get a good deal --after all the UK will be in a weak position-- it's just that nobody in the UK seems to be in charge to negotiate with. Probably some US and Chinese companies will tear some chunks out of the country as the UK, desperate for cash, sells off all its assets, and leave the carcass.
