The big Brexit thread - news, updates and discussion

Just invested in some shares of my mum's allotment and some turnip seeds. Looks like a sure bet from where I'm standing, so I'm bound to make a killing in the post Brexit turnip market due to the likely demand.

Thanks for this fantastic opportunity to make millions from a root based economy, free from EU meddling Johnson and co. :thumbs:
 
Can you cut and paste it please? Or summarise?

Revisted a couple of 2016 focus groups - very little voter remorse. Few expect deal and critical of UK politicians handling and government advice, all expecting short time pain but underlying cope cos have to. Seriously entrenched is about 66%
 
Not gonna lie...the only news I've paid attention to this year has been Covid-related, BLM, (and the US ejection, for about two weeks).

Genuinely didn't realise the UK was facing a No Deal Brexit.

Is getting some kind of deal done literally what Johnson campaigned on a year ago? And has claimed he had in hand ("oven-ready" deals etc)?

Leaving in the middle of a pandemic is fucking stupid and I'm pretty sure the rest if the EU would take an extension in order to deal with important crisis over this shambles. Farage and co wouldn't so Boris De Offal presses on regardless.

Which just leads the other EU leaders to look tired and say let's get it over with.

The oven ready deal is apparently not The Deal and in fact deals with the withdrawal agreement not the trade deal with the EU. But the messaging was exceptionally ambiguous and if your trying to say it was about the WA your an idiot, it was always pushed as "this is oven ready, we're good to go, get brexit done with Boris one last heave"
 
Would be nice, suspect Kenya will be be the short term victor
Just thinking of vegetables post xmas that I've seen from outside the EU, beans, mange tout from Africa, asparagus from Peru, carrots from South Africa , Australian Brussel Sprouts , Potatoes from Egypt etc.

Thanks, just reminded me to order my seed for next year. I note theres a lot more out of stock (and failed notices) than usually are.

This short term extension to deal with the pandemic. Obviously going to take a bit of Keynesianism as an economic defibrillator would you be thinking the UK will be a net benefactor or contributor to that?

Exactly, and no shortage of slots at airports. Food miles wise will be horrific but they are geared for that type as is

Right now my feelings about the UK in general can be summed up as I don't give a fuck what the shit hole does it'll always disappoint me.

I've always been ambivalent about this country the last couple of years has tipped me over into burn the place down and start again.
 
I dont think Boris wanted no deal. He will increasingly realise just how fucked he is.
He cant accept the EU terms and survive.

Leaving without a deal will severly damage the tories and his reputation for financial good husbandry, more so than back in Lawson's day and the ERM debacle.

He has to move, and all possible moves lead to Boris leaving no 10 crying.
Out for his mother as he's dragged kicking and screaming to a tumbril
