Is Brexit actually going to happen?

[Honey Sundial]

European countries have been at war with each other for many reasons for literally centuries. Yugoslavia aside, is it a coincidence european wars have all but stopped since 1951?

Oh fuck off you benzo-addled wannabe smackhead-but-not-quite-got-the-bottle-to-let-go-of-the-side-of-the-pool wanker. And when you've fucked off, fuck off again, just to make sure. Dickhead though.

Valid point.

Not quite sure I grasped the argument, myself.

A transition period was agreed in March this year. The 6 month deadline you're banging on about was extended to December 2020, to enable the completion of a deal, which according to Barnier is already 80% complete.

I realise that nothing's agreed until everything's agreed - and they're a bunch of tory cunts but ffs stop the faux dramatics and try acting with some fucking dignity when engaging

For someone who works for HMRC to be so blatently subjective for the EU on a discussion centering around the effects on the UK of a customs union negotiation is comical.
Hopefully after brexit you'll be outsourced to the Calais border to make you happy again.

I actually agree with parts of this -- my best guess (??) is that crashing out with No Deal' is far less likely than some of the brinkmanship merchants, on all sides, are pushing at the moment.

They don’t have until December 2020 to agree a deal that is 80% complete.

The transition period is dependent on the withdrawal deal being agreed. It is this withdrawal deal where 80% of the text is agreed. While 80% of the text may be agreed, I don’t think that measure is a good indicator of how far they are to getting an agreement.

That's the problem isn't it? And they keep saying that they haven't agreed to stuff that they have agreed to. And they're sticking to their red-lines on the Irish border which can't all be delivered at once. Does the withdrawal agreement itself have to get through Parliament? I'm not sure about that, but that's no given if May has to give up too much for the ERGers...

I hope you're right, but you might not be. That's not alarmist.

At yer maw's house.

[SpackleFrog]

You.

In all seriousness, nobody has made that argument that I've seen. I certainly haven't. In or out of the EU we have to fight for Socialism. That's a given and there's no point trying to twist that anyone is saying otherwise.

 

[Yossarian]

Hi. That's complete bullshit. Don't make statement's about me that are completely incorrect please. Dishonesty helps no one.

So I've twigged Dexter lives in Scotland - anyone know a name? Even better an address.

Why the fuck are you asking for his or her name and address - you planning to turn up at their doorstep and berate them about their opinion on Brexit?

I don't know exactly what the law is but I'm pretty sure they'd legally be allowed to kill you with a crossbow if that ever happened.

Only if spackle is Welsh and it’s after nine thirty on a Tuesday.

Every now and then you see what they're really like under that facade of moral superiority

So what? since 6th of August 2017 the word 'Stockpile' was searched beween 1 - 4 times a day. Then there was a spike on the 10th June 2018 when 16 people searched for the word 'Stockpile'.
I take it you was one of the 12 idiots.
Or do you have any absolute data?

Shocking stuff in March...

 

[kabbes]

What does it show?

It showed that some people searching for stockpile were also searching for Brexit but lots of other people were searching for China (country), Scramble (video game), Battlefield (video game) and The Stockpile (restaurant).

The graph is interest relative to peak search, which is always set to 100. On late July, there was a spike of 4x previous interest, which is hardly a surprise — any topic currently in the news always garners more searches. The searches seem to be trailing off now.

Liam Fox now pushing the line that a no-deal brexit is more likely than not and will be the EU's fault.

Little Englanders have been toeing that line for some time.

Fox wants a no deal IIRC...pretty sure hes one of the most vocal tories who wants us to basically replace the EU with the US in terms of trade
Liam Fox launches bid for US trade deal and to join Pacific trade group even before Brexit is completed

 

[Hollis]

You have to ask as well how much of this is down to a failing of our electoral system and first past the post. If UKIP votes had been translated into seats in parliament or at least higher representation, then I imagine the dynamics within the Tory party could have acted out differently, and less binary positions taken.

An educational hour if you have the time. I'd encourage brexiters to list to any 5 or 10 minutes from any part of the video.

I'm still not entirely sure what the exact concerns over food import delays are. I'm probably missing something important, but we import loads of perishable food from non EU countries we don't have trade deals with, so why exactly will there be delays from EU imports post brexit. Did a quick scan of some of the stories but they don't specify why.

E: I'm guessing it's just a general, "the ports will be gummed up"

 

[SpookyFrank]

Presumably the pound would be expected to nosedive in the event of no deal making imports of anything more expensive too.

Yes, there was a guy who makes sandwiches saying that they will still make them, but you wont have hlaf the stuff you can have now as it's all fresh in from the EU, once you add 1-3 days with delays it won't be fresh. (or i guess they use fridge trucks and a sandwich is now £19.99 or more)

People will have to make their own sandwich then, fucking lazy liberals.
