Is Brexit actually going to happen?

[bemused]

Or basic protections for livestock. Or basic protections for consumers.

I don’t eat meat, so it doesn’t directly affect me. But it is depressing.

Both animal welfare and consumer protection go hand in hand. There is a reason the US can produce chicken meat for 20% of the price they do in the EU. When you have the US Ambassador lobbying for the US meat industry in the press its easy to see the direction of travel.

Or drink whisky, obviously.

I do occasionally drink whisky. What’s your point?

 

[Wilf]

It's called sharing.

You could try hoarding instead.

 

[DexterTCN]

LOL

What is the point in talking to you people, honestly? "oooh discuss it instead!"

Just fucking go away and talk to your mates, eh. It's pointless discussing with any of you, you don't listen you just wait for your chance to speak.

LOL incredible...incredible. Numpties. Big smile on my face though.

 

[andysays]

Actually, no

Wow.

I still have no idea what you’re on about. Do you really think randomly saying “or drink whisky obviously” is actually anything I could potentially engage with? How?

I occasionally drink whisky. My favourite whisky is Springbank. Your move.

On the clip Dexter posted the SNP MP claims that the US will want to sell whiskey produced in the states in the UK as scotch.

Not sure what this has to do with leaving the EU, as the SNP are in favour of a EU-US trade deal.

 

[danny la rouge]

That’s seriously your reply? Posting the video without comment again? And without tagging me?

Do you understand how conversations work?

I haven’t seen the clip, but I’m aware of the story.

OK, DexterTCN, is that what you’re alluding to?

OK. I’ll do all the work in this conversation for you. I disapprove of those suggestions.

 

[Pickman's model]

But what do you think?

What is there to negotiate?
You voted leave. Two divergent systems with a line of demarcation.

You stillhav learned nault .

No, I'm not angry, YOU'RE ANGRY. I'm actually laughing. I'm laughing.

Just seen this now on the internets!!!!!omg!!1111one

 

[ska invita]

There's something decidedly iffy about requiring only them to apply for this register, and constantly provide updates to the Home Office, every time they move, change jobs, change banks, etc. Very iffy.

is this definitely the case (re providing updates) and can you provide a source for it, or where you heard it? Not trying to trip you up, genuinely want to know the details

 

[Ranbay]

UK 'given 48 hours' to offer Brexit solution

Another 48 hours

I'll keep looking. I'm sure it was an article. I tried looking on the Home Office's own site, but all I could find was about how to apply for settled status, not what you have to do in terms of reporting to maintain it.

Zahir seems to have read something, too.

I’ve seen something along these lines but I haven’t got a link and I can’t remember exactly what was included. I think changing phone number or email address was mentioned though.

 

[philosophical]

You stillhav learned nault .

By some obscure measure you have dreamed up probably not.
Perhaps you will enlighten me as to how the land border on the island of Ireland will operate in practical terms when it is the divide between two different systems.

 

[Ted Striker]

and as it says on the bridge theme song, everything goes back to the beginning

And it's the only line in the whole thing that makes legible sense...

 

[danny la rouge]

And it's the only line in the whole thing that makes legible sense...

Echoes start as a crusty you
Trembling voices the crowded zoo.
Facial moody witch seeds too few
Reasoning your musty shoe.
Hollow talking and hello girl
Four three over the rude old pale.

Never said it was good, never said it was near
Shallow rises and something something .


That's as far as I can get.

 

[DexterTCN]

...Do you understand how conversations work?

Mostly. There are always levels.

One one level I'd post a link, someone would read/watch/look at/listen to it, then there would perhaps be some discussion on it or not.

On another level I'd post a link and someone would criticise posting the link, challenge why it was posted, say it adds nothing to the debate and demand comment on the link...but not actually peruse the link. And there would be no criticism of this from any of his mates even when he's laid bare.

So yeah...I'm aware

That's us now. As you say...the shallow rises.

Not everyone is always able to watch videos. During the day I’m mostly not able to. And in any case I’m mostly not a fan of clicking links if I don’t know things like what it is, why it’s interesting, how long it is, what the poster thinks of it. This is not just your links. It’s links in general. My rule is, don’t click unexplained links. I’ve said this to other people, and I’m definitely not the only one who feels that way.

So, OK. You think something in your video has relevance to the discussion here. Good. You can probably put into words what that is. Then I can discuss it with you.

You made a cryptic remark about whisky. I like whisky. My favourite is Springbank. But I’ll drink most malts. I even drink blends. I’m told points are raised in the video about whisky and US trade. I’m aware of suggestions that Scotch whisky would lose GI status because of Brexit and that the market could be flooded with cheap knock offs. It’s been in the news for a while now. I’m sure you could have found the words to explain that succinctly and even make it into some kind of argument.

You want a discussion about that? Fine. I think it’s a bad thing that consumers wouldn’t have clarity about what they’d be buying. I’m against that.

So, what is your point?

There’s this on updating phone number, email address, identity document etc.

Update your EU Settlement Scheme details

As always, thank you for your eloquence. What you said basically.

I will let you know as soon as I have the ability to influence it. Meanwhile we scrap with the tools we have.

 

[xenon]

Repetition, I spoiled my vote. I have issues with some remainers philosophy I have problems with some leavers philosophy. I don’t think anyone on this thread has a chance to influence the outcome directly. So take your myopic border questions to the people that can. You as well, must surely be bored with your line on this thread by now.

Thank you.
Id like to read someone who has properly thought through the implications of this untested system but my initial reaction is disgust.

 

[xenon]

It is disgusting.
