The big Brexit thread - news, updates and discussion

[Dandred]

now yer mainland snout limit is the same as it has been for the canaries

So, it;s 3.30 am here is SK, so my typing isn't great, but


Before this deal I could take 10,000 fags to the UK and get no stops if I walk through customs ~~

and

Now, I can only take 200?

Or has it always been 200?

 

[Ax^]

Is this deal likely to get through parliament? What do you all think?

its this or no deal

don't see labour throwing a spanner in the works

and even the headbangers in the tory party know its over

 

[not-bono-ever]

now you can only take 200. previouly you could claim personal use and was ok if tax paid in the EU

 

[gentlegreen]

Any news on when we can expect the £350 million a week to start flowing into the NHS ?

if you want to bring 10,000 fags just don't get stopped. If you're coming from a non-EU country things will be the same as before, which means just don't get stopped. What is that 3 suitcases full?

depends if and when they out source it to Serco

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

Doesn't that mean (hard) border between NI and Eire though?

is NI now TF status?

Yup. Probably one of the first times that Starmer's Labour Party wont abstain.

Absolutely.

Hopefully this will mean there won't be any food and/or medication shortages. I guess we'll have to see what happens.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

One of the advantages to Johnson of taking it to the wire is that, however shit the deal is, it is better than the only alternative, which is no deal. Labour are indicating that they won't abstain (mistake, imo), but even if they abstain, it gets through with a massive majority.

It probably does mean that, yes. It's still a fucking horrible deal. We're a little bit worse off in about a thousand different ways. And that's just for starters.

it is a mistake which will give Boris the "you voted for it call"

even when this has been a shite show since the vote

You advocate Labour abstaining over this? Really?

If he was bluffing the whole time, with those "no deal is very very likely' announcements 2 weeks ago and all that, then it worked perfectly for him.

So, same as before, just now you can't say any over the limit are for personal use?

 

[Kevbad the Bad]

No they should vote against, but with their fingers crossed. As if either option would make any difference.

 

[Ax^]

You advocate Labour abstaining over this? Really?

if they vote for it they will have no voice when it falls aparts as it will be the Line "well you voted for it so shut up"

they won't abstain but then more than likely should

 

[littlebabyjesus]

So, same as before, just now you can't say any over the limit are for personal use?

No, nothing like before. Before there was no limit other than the 'for personal use' guideline. This change reduces the amount you can safely bring back by a huge amount.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Labour have been played all the way through this. If they vote for this deal, they're being made to own it alongside the tories, despite having zero input into any of the negotiations. Total fuck up.

 

[Dandred]

I take it, these things are just bullshit by the Brexit crew.

 

[Dandred]

This crap seems to be popping up, I take it, it is all bullshit?

 

[not-bono-ever]

partially correct but very very misleading

 

[Kevbad the Bad]

Bullshit from the Brexit crew? Whatever next?

“Recognition of our sovereignty over our waters” lol.
I just looked at the sun’s coverage, it’s just like that, total bollocks no information on content just flag waving crap. That’s probably a good thing, better than them trying to tell people exactly how the deal is shit.

 

[A380]

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

 

[eatmorecheese]

It's all a shit sandwich, but does anyone feel any relief that the whole Brexit omnifuck has actually shifted today? Either way? A clearer view of in what way, in the short to medium term, we're shafted? Takes a lot of the stress out
