The big Brexit thread - news, updates and discussion

Now....bring on the left wing authoritarian control freakery as the best method of organising people in the class struggle if that suits.
It is quite a feature on Urban75.

Is it a feature on here? Really?
I can't remember anyone on Urban ever telling me to STFU, tbh.

 

[Pickman's model]

I think shut the fuck up is a term used by authoritarian control freaks.
The sad people.
If brexit means brexit, it leads me back to the evidence of the ballot slip you helpfully pictured. Where one of the key words, maybe the key word, is 'leave'.
If others interpret that in their ways, I interpret that in mine.
Pretty simple.

Leaving the EU does not necessitate leaving the eea, nor does it stand in the way of joining efta.

No one would tell you to shut up if you didn't continually show yourself a one chord wonder, and not particularly good at playing that.

You're like Theresa May.

I suspect that no deal has been the plan all along. The likes of Crispin Oadley, Mogg and the Elliotts etc stand to make a lot of money if it goes that way. Whether they get their wish remains to be seen.

Given the central figures fetish for disruption for the sake of disruption, it wouldn’t surprise me . There isn’t a secret plan for the post no deal scenario that will be rolled out. Good luck all

Yup. Disaster capitalism, on steroids. We're fucked.

Oh well. At least I can restart my smuggling business.

I can foresee that this means that even if there is somehow a vaccine next year, other countries would be distributing it and returning to functionality while the UK gov still struggles to discern its arse from its elbow and we fall into increasing squalor.

The value of the fishing industry to the British economy is tiny in comparative terms. It employs just 0.1% of the national workforce and contributes £1.4bn to the UK economy – or 0.1% of GDP.

Fishing is also only really a priority issue for eight EU member states – Ireland, France, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and Germany.

But the fishing industry is both romantic and vital for the economic health of often already run-down coastal communities. No politician wants to be seen betraying these communities and losing their votes.

What are the forces at play as the end of the Brexit transition period looms?

[philosophical]

In fantasy land, and looking at the way this government spaffs money, would it not be a good idea to pay all the fishing coastal communities to stop fishing for a couple of years to give the fish a chance to recover?
Or even better pay the coastal communities to both stop fishing, and to also try some way of getting plastic out of the seas?

May not be accurate but still

Who would have guessed?

Experts claim Boris Johnson’s ‘thin’ EU deal will cause major economic upset

The outcome being pursued by the prime minister in the Brexit trade talks will not avoid costly friction at the border

Enough slurry there to give Johnson a soaking

I thought the point of Brexit was to escape these "un-elected bureaucrats"

Yeah, a couple of weeks old but it tickled me:

What features would an ally of Stephen Yakitty Lookatme have?
Errrm.
Well he hates Muslims and urges people to vote Tory so features of those who share those characteristics would in my mind be the features of a cunt.
There might be other thing an ally would agree with too, but I can't think of them right now.

Hitler drank water = anyone who drinks water is a Nazi.

And when the EU move the refugees from their internment camps in Greece to a new one in Donegal, one with no fences and an arrow pointing east..?

TBF, why would anyone want to leave Donegal & come here?

 

[ViolentPanda]

Yes we have no bananas

No bendy bananas, or no straight bananas?

Rockall.

No need to fucking swear, ya cunt!

Johnson can't even generate the expressions/body language to pretend that he thinks Cummings' posturing is serious:

In his own mind, Johnson the Johnson is Alan B'Stard.
In every sane's mind, he's Rik the student people's poet.

Prep for an island full of criminals and rampant bigotry?

& racial murderation. Don't forget the r...oh, we've already got that to some degree, haven't we?

 

[ViolentPanda]

lol what. You reckon the pissed off coastal communities of France are begging Macron to cave?

Because obviously French fishermen don't have Biscay or the Med to fish in.

The govt have probably put it in a metal container that will fuck your microwave right up, the wankers!

I look at that picture, & I see a tableful of 2nd-rate political hacks, all thinking more about what they can personally take away from Brexit, than about the good of the UK.

That cunt Shapps looks like a plastic surgery disaster, & Patel has her patented sneer glued to her face.
