Is Brexit actually going to happen?

Does making the likes of your lose your shit count?

It's a pity a hundred tiny meteorites don't simultaneously strike the homes of tory mps, killing them as they sleep, but as the rolling stones sang "you can't always get what you want"

But if you try sometime, you might find, you get what you need.

US urges UK to embrace chlorinated chicken

I preferred it when Ambassadors were content to push just Ferrero Rochers on us...

On the plus side, I may finally be able to try high fructose corn syrup and GM soy

At least you'll have your spite and bile to keep you warm.

I've got loads of non heat treated pallets to burn anyway, I'll be toasty

I'd wait until the post-brexit insulin supply situation has stabilised tbh.

Rumours that this is an urbanite have not been confirmed.

 

[gentlegreen]

There are indeed some decidedly cringey remainer posts on that thread ...

I sometimes really wish we had retired to Greece three years ago and took the chance!

Sadly I'm not going to be ready until 2021
But I'm proceeding anyway - but doing research as if I was an "Australian" - I hope the French don't retaliate and insist on a minimum £30K income for British retirees.

Spite and Bile...the new musical from people who hate everyone.

I wish you well and hope it all falls into place.

ETA: We missed our opportunity, we will have to wait and see what happens.

Christ. I haven't watched broadcast media in a Very long time so missed the pre-referendum horrors.
With Cameron selling it, this helps me understand why quite so many people voted to leave.
I like hbomberguy's perspective on things.

With greasy Cameron promoting it, he might have convinced me to vote "leave" for the sake of the EU.

Spoiler: youtube video

Cameron didn't actually play any part in the remain campaign

As you'd have known if you followed events at the time

 

[gentlegreen]

Oh well, it all looks horrible.
I was probably in denial - I got a bit pissed and fell over on the day of the vote.
It was so easy to switch off in the "up yours, Delors" days...

Er Cameron was on a Dimbleby thing in that video ...

Overseas buyers 'cancel' British meat orders due to Brexit - Farming UK News

Not good news.

Brexit: Michael Gove admits farmers may never recover from no-deal

I saw on one of the ‘3 blokes in a pub’ videos that when they were in Brussels an EU diplomat told them agriculture would be the first fatality. 18 months to 2 years of cheap imports and ‘bye bye’ that sector.

There are ships that set off last week for the Far East with cargo to deliver, and they have no idea what our trading status is going to be by the time they arrive.

What exactly do you think will change? What do you think will happen? They'll have to cut and run? Sanctions will be imposed so the goods can't get in? This really is hysterical nonsense. I've got goods on the way from China, Thailand and Thaiwan and bits going the other way. They'll get delivered no problem. It's the EU stuff, stuff that didn't used to require documentation and didn't clog up the ports, where there will (and i mean will not might) be a problem if it's no deal.

Wouldn't it make some difference with tariffs etc. whether goods are arriving in a country that's part of the EU, not part of the EU, or unable to make its mind up whether it's part of the EU or not? Since total incompetence across the board seems to be the order of the day, I wouldn't be surprised if extra paperwork caused a lot of delays...

The paperwork is already done. Certification, packing lists, bills of lading HS codes. We already have to heat treat timber packaging and all that stuff so that won't change. There could be changes to duty rates (unlikely but possible has been the advice from my forwarder) but only pennies in the pound and the documentation remains the same.

Looking like the next vote will be a much closer run thing than last time

 

[gentlegreen]

Just seen chunkymark's latest video.

Perhaps Theresa May is a europhile after all and is secretly taking pleasure in locking us in with no ability to stick our noses in.

The deal that will come before Parliament next week represents a devastating failure of British statecraft. It would keep most of the costs of EU membership while junking most of the benefits. It would require Britain to cede part of its territory to foreign jurisdiction. It would allow Brussels to control our commerce with non-EU states even after we leave.

MPs who believe in parliamentary sovereignty should vote against it. MPs who believe in the Union should vote against it. MPs who believe in free trade should vote against it. MPs who believe that there is such a thing as national honour, and who recognise that we are being treated in a...

No self-respecting country would accept this deal. MPs must vote it down

Good to see they're going full febrile at the Telegraph.
