Is Brexit actually going to happen?

[Sprocket.]

I see Peston is getting his kite on the BBC coverage!

 

[Badgers]

Big turn out so far

Most countries don't have a Northern Ireland situation though. Any country that was willing and able to leave with a hard border would probably have less trouble.

Quite, if we returned NI to the Irish we could have Brexit sorted by the 9 o'clock news.

if we are very unlucky we'll see her dancing.

 

[Lord Camomile]

They all have borders though, yes there is no GFA but all the rest of the same problems would still exist.

Was talking to an Italian friend last night who said she accidentally wandered into Austria when she was back home walking in the mountains, and that most in the area are fluent in both Italian and Austrian/German. Certainly think there are plenty of borders on the continent that would cause problems.

lol, imagine no journo would bother

 

[cupid_stunt]

I'm betting she'll walk on swigging from bottle of JD, flick the V's and say, "Fuck it, I'm off down the pub, you shove yer fucking job, cunts!"

That's what I would be doing.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if no-one can find the key.

 

[Pickman's model]

in that case warm up the flighttracker and keep an eye on the London - Dakar - MPA - South Georgia route

Former people will assemble at Plymouth to board the ships taking them to grytviken. It is advisable to pack a change of clothes and bring bank cards and share certificates etc which will be kept in the vaults of the bank of England in the national interest. Bring a bucket and spade.

Digging their own graves; fair.

There have already been consequences with agencies and companies moving or registering outside of the UK and announcements of many job losses.

It certainly wouldn't be unreasonable for the EU to get rid of some of the UK's current opt-outs. UK opt-outs from EU legislation

(and notice "The UK is not a member of the Schengen border-free area, retaining control overs its own borders. (Protocol 19)")

I doubt some of the more sceptical countries would get behind anything punitive. They don't like the idea of it, when several of them are already mucking about and flouting EU regulations. Also, it would very likely re-ignite the entire thing which I have to assume almost no-one wants.

Won't happen in the short term. There was always talk of the rebate going away in the long term.

May is probably in her changing room with her team having a pre gig huddle and prayer, like Beyoncé.

 

[brogdale]

"trigger"?
She should be pulling one...live...at the lectern.

 

[SpackleFrog]

How is there time to renegotiate before March 19?

I don't think March 19th matters much, EU happy to have Britain in Single Market indefinitely.

 

[friedaweed]

Quite, if we returned NI to the Irish we could have Brexit sorted by the 9 o'clock news.

That would be the most fair and proper thing to do.

 

[Lord Camomile]

She's learning a last-minute change to the choreography.

 

[friedaweed]

Or blowing Boris and Gove

I made that joke yesterday evening (seems like much longer ago now)

 

[Poi E]

Christ she's late. I need to get dinner on.

 

[agricola]

I'd laugh my moobs off if she announced she was withdrawing the Article 50 request.

I've just ordered a takeaway for delivery, to avoid missing anything whilst cooking.

Customs union definitely.

Single market no.

(Several countries today saying the deal is too soft, and might allow the U.K. to sneak back into the Single Market.)

 

[Sprocket.]

She’s on the phone asking Frankie Boyle for an opener.

 

[agricola]

she is going to resign

 

[Calamity1971]

she is going to resign

Yep

 

[Ted Striker]

Here we go...

You'll be disappointed

Sounds very valedictory
