The big Brexit thread - news, updates and discussion

[Raheem]

So the UK has negotiated getting it's fish back in 5 1/2 years' time, which will be reviewed in 4 years' time.

 

[gentlegreen]

So are they going to repurpose the Farage Garage ?

 

[bimble]

I can’t believe he just made fun of this country’s “fish fanatics”.

 

[Supine]

Johnson thinks this is his finest moment. The dick.

 

[Yossarian]

Weird how he seems to think he's going to escape the beatings.

 

[brogdale]

Johnson thinks this is his finest moment. The dick.

He's so shit at this that he's fluffed the moment; he could have tried to sell this and his success in terms that would engage the red-wallers...instead he was boring, incomprehensible and glib.

No hand of history here.

 

[brogdale]

Fucking obsessed.

 

[bimble]

That face he does when he’s lying it was on pretty much the whole time when trying to say good things about the content of the deal. Ursula Vdl looked immensely more like a person who’se genuinely quite proud of what they’ve got out of the wrangling.

He'll never forget the bastinado

 

[Smokeandsteam]

Looks interesting but its behind a paywall.

Let me try to paste it up here

 

[not-bono-ever]

Fish
Fish
Fish
Fish
Fuck all else

 

[weltweit]

Fish

Did I forget to mention that Barnier is a former French fishing minister?

 

[Cloo]

So Johnson thinks there will be 'less red tape' - not quite sure how that works.

Blue now

 

[Dandred]

What has actually changed then? We got a little more fish and everything is the same as before?

 

[A380]

I think he said that on 5.5 years we will increase control of out fish quotas from half to two thirds. I make that from 3/6 to 4/6? so a whole 1/6 improvement! Rejoice, just rejoice....

 

[editor]

Once they factor in all the costs of all this extended fuckwit's farrago, we're still be billions in the red.

 

[Dandred]

Can we work and vist the EU as before?

No.
And no more fish till 2025, I think.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Edit: nevermind

 

[Badgers]

Actual LOL

Border is down the Irish Sea? Do we know what happens with imports to NI coming in through other ports/airports?

No border in the Irish Sea
Virtually no change from NI-GB
Some changes to declarations from GB-NI

 

[Dandred]

Just seen, cheers

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Holy shit, that was actually a pretty good question from Kuenssberg, proper flummoxed the dickhead.

What was it?

 

[weltweit]

.. " P H H E E E U U U W W W W !! "

Was heard in Washington Tyne and Wear / Nissan

 

[Lord Camomile]

What was it?

Basically something along the lines of "what was the biggest thing both the UK and the EU had to give up in these negotiations?". There was genuinely a second or two of silence as Johnson couldn't work out how to answer

He was, I think, more riled by Peston's observation that he was wrong (lying) about the imposition of non-tariff barriers on goods & services and, in evading it, ended up doing a good impression of not knowing how to answer the question.

 

[Dandred]

No.View attachment 245128View attachment 245129

Can you confirm that is the what this deal will mean?

Or is this just speculation at this point?

The biggest loss is the fact we're obliged to keep Kent.
