The big Brexit thread - news, updates and discussion

[Flavour]

Same with how unlucky they were to have had so many former Nazis involved from the inception.

I think that's slightly unfair, as you could make the same accusation of almost any institution, German or international involving Germany, since 1945.

 

[Spymaster]

Pretty cool structure that allows individuals like this to rise to the top over and over again isn't it:

That its top ranks have long been corrupted by immunity in their occupance of power is plain. It is enough to make a roll-call of its leading ornaments. Christine Lagarde, current president of the European Central Bank: suspected of complicity in fraud and malversation of public funds in covering for the crook Bernard Tapie, improperly paid €404 million by Crédit Lyonnais in 2008, when she was minister of the economy in France; in 2016 discharged by the state for ‘negligence’ with no penalty, in view of her ‘personality’ and (no doubt especially) her ‘international reputation’. By that time she was head of the IMF – where her predecessor, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, had had to resign on charges of sexual assault and attempted rape and his predecessor, Rodrigo Rato, had been imprisoned on charges of embezzlement. Ursula von der Leyen, current president of the European Commission: charged in 2015 with plagiarism on 43 per cent of the pages of her 1990 doctorate at Hannover Medical School; the university commission that absolved her, headed by an old acquaintance from the alumni association at the institution, was heavily criticised in the media, but after the fall of two previous ministers in Merkel’s government, both on charges of plagiarism, exhaustion had set in and she was allowed to keep her doctorate.

Von der Lyen also cosidered a poor politician by all sides in Germany and a complete failure as their Minister of Defence, but given a helping hand throughout her career by her best mate, Angela Merkel.

I would love to know what would cause you to change your mind. If the events of the last week would not change your mind what would?

For me if the EU reverted to being the EEA I would consider rejoining if it was put to a vote.

It can't though, coz of the EUro, and the sort of 'reform' required to rebalance that, the UK has fuck all business being involved with.

She's just accused the UK of compromising on safety by approving the vaccine she's been demanding we give her.

edit: aside from the shitty transparent face-saving attempt at politics, this gives the green-light to already high levels of vaccine-scepticism/idiocy across the EU - the effects of which are potentially devastating, undermining the way out of this horror.

“Helped into power” we’ve heard that one before!

Merely a run of unfortunate and unlucky coincidences, having nothing to do with the EU and its structures, ne c'est pas?

Fucking vandalizing twats if this happens

15 million baby bees could be seized and burned over Brexit rules

British beekeeper told his order of baby Italian bees would be destroyed if he tried to import them

She really needs to shut up now.

"We"?

 

[ViolentPanda]

I wonder who Jonathan Saxty voted for in the election

Cunt looks like he grew a beard so people wouldn't notice he's a 6th-former.

 

[two sheds]

6th formers are looking younger and younger nowadays

 

[ViolentPanda]

This. There's also the fact that eels are revolting.

<scarpers>

Smoked eel is the tastiest smoked seafood there is.

no it isn't, it is of course the kippered herring

Whilst jellied eels are an abomination. They're all about London trolling the rest of the the world.

it's strange how until you puked after eating a dozen jellied eels you sang their praises and wouldn't hear a word against them.

Some hope. I've never managed to get more than half a mouthful down!

not since that night you had to be packed into a taxi and sent home anyway

 

[brogdale]

So cunty Gove is now piggy-backing on the paramilitary threats made towards those checking at the GB/NI border to undo what they signed up to just over a month ago; claiming that the controls were "unexpected":



and unnecessary, anyway...



apparently unaware that NI & RoI are parts of the same land mass.

This shitshow arising because the little pobby cunt was apparentently two busy rowing with the EU to actually sort anything out...

 

[ViolentPanda]

See? Even teuchter gets it!

"Stopped clock accurate twice a day" shocker!!!

 

[ViolentPanda]

The ' EU stood by Ireland/The EU refuse to have a border in Ireland' brigade might be surprised to find out that the EU have just invoked Article 16 .

Wonder if we will see the EU border force flown over

Cunt doing a US salute, the cunt!

 

[TopCat]

Ah, the classic shift of the goalposts. No, I'd like to stick with discussing the negative impact of consumers buying goods post-Brexit and the ridiculous statement that I should be expected to trawl through 1,100+ word documents just to buy something from Europe and, even then. still be not sure of the outcome.

It’s the same subject is Brexit. Your swerve is casusing me to chuckle.

 

[gosub]

full rimmer or nothing

 

[ViolentPanda]

They're now denying that the button was ever pushed. Someone at EUHQ has been at the schnapps I reckon.

Some of the Irish contingent probably filled the schnapps bottles with 80% abv poteen.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Cheese and ham croissants are a war crime

...but a Crocque Monsieur is entirely acceptable.

 

[ViolentPanda]

I've never been offered a Croque Monsieur in Simpsons, tbf.

Not sure Simpsons would ever sell anything as...European...as a Croque Monsieur. Welsh Rarebit maybe, if pushed.

 

[ViolentPanda]

I wouldn't go as far a Banging the Bishop but someone needs to give him a clip round the ear about his understanding of EU history

He's a fucking capitalist & Tory. Of course he doesn't have a clue.

 

[Roadkill]

Smoked eel is the tastiest smoked seafood there is.

You couldn't be more wrong if you tried!

 

[ViolentPanda]

Being clipped round the ear?

Put in the fucking stocks more like.
& that's just for that fucking stupid hat the archshit of Cunterbury wears.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Mentioning the Big Chief Mackerel-Snapper in the context of Northern Ireland seems a bit "tone deaf" regarding the vociferous beliefs of nearly half the population of the 6 counties.

 

[ViolentPanda]

full rimjob or nothing

Well! I say!!
