The Brexit process


Had to check the context, cos could see some tie ins. As it is, was crass, and the sort of thinking that lead to the crucifixion in the first place. Jesus himself according to the heavily edited texts we have now, was dis-interested in Geo-politics.


(A bunch of Jews who found what he was saying was not to their likely, told the overarching Roman Empire that he was actively undermining it and should be dealt with.)

In reality though, not being religious, I'd probably have gone with :groups on all sides boyed up with nothing more than fanatical belief; refusing to find common ground.
 
Googled it here. Just sounds like the usual brexit-denier speak to me & brexiteers trying to make capital out of it. It should be taken in that context same as John Lennon's off the cuff "Beatles more popular than Jesus" remark causing similar faux outrage.

Hmmm...all is not well in the state of Mayhem...

On the World at One George Parker, the Financial Times’ political editor, says the departure of Sir Ivan Rogers came as a surprise to Downing Street. Rogers felt the honest advice he gave to London was not being well received, and tensions were growing, Parker says. He says in Number 10 the view was that Rogers was too “eeyorish” and too pessimistic. Number 10 wanted someone more positive about Brexit, says Parker.

His email to staff is an interesting read (outside the Times paywall)

In full: Sir Ivan Rogers’ resignation email to staff

As I have argued consistently at every level since June, many opportunities for the UK in the future will derive from the mere fact of having left and being free to take a different path. But others will depend entirely on the precise shape of deals we can negotiate in the years ahead. Contrary to the beliefs of some, free trade does not just happen when it is not thwarted by authorities: increasing market access to other markets and consumer choice in our own, depends on the deals, multilateral, plurilateral and bilateral that we strike, and the terms that we agree. I shall advise my successor to continue to make these points.

For my part, I hope that in my day-to-day dealings with you I have demonstrated the values which I have always espoused as a public servant. I hope you will continue to challenge ill-founded arguments and muddled thinking and that you will never be afraid to speak the truth to those in power. I hope that you will support each other in those difficult moments where you have to deliver messages that are disagreeable to those who need to hear them. I hope that you will continue to be interested in the views of others, even where you disagree with them, and in understanding why others act and think in the way that they do. I hope that you will always provide the best advice and counsel you can to the politicians that our people have elected, and be proud of the essential role we play in the service of a great democracy.

"We do not yet know what the Government will set as negotiating objectives for the UK’s relationship with the EU after exit. There is much we will not know until later this year about the political shape of the EU itself, and who the political protagonists in any negotiation with the UK will be."

Sounds more like Number 10 hasn't got any ideas (other than the colour scheme):facepalm:
 
Been reading that May will soon 'trigger the Brexit process'.

But it never explains how it's done. How does she 'trigger'?

Does she push a big red button? Bang a large gong hanging in Westminster Abbey? Smash a magnum of champagne over the prow of the Cutty Sark?

The papers haven't been explaining it well.

By 'trigger the brexit process' they mean sign article 50.

Yes, because the person we need to go into bat for us needs to be someone without the first clue as to how the EU operates :rolleyes:

Maybe Nigel Farage would have been a better choice - after all, not only is he a UKIP MEP, but he gains thousands from the EU in salary and expenses payments... :D
 
Sorry, I'm not sure I can comment much further on Brexit.

Clive off of Facebook just told me that treason is VERY serious, and that's following on from Harriet insisting that I WILL be held to account.

I'm very worried. I don't want to be put on trial and exemecuted in Clive or Harriet's heads, or the heads of any brave brexit civil war soldier.

I hope you understand. Have any other people here been brought to their senses by a Clive or a Harriet?

There's just not enough votes in not pandering to fear, hatred, resentment and lies these days. I'm only suprised that the bloke dares to even show his face in public after losing us £1,000,000,000 through jaw-dropping gullibility, but standards are pretty low at the mo.
 
Theresa today reiterated that she definately has a plan, a special plan , a clever plan, that no one else knows about, not even the cleverest people in thr world and she will unveil it soon.

So thats confirmed then, they are making this up as they go along
 
Theresa May: "I'm not looking at the means to the end but the outcome, I'm looking for the outcome -a really good ambitious trade deal with EU.."

Translate: 6 and a half months and I've still no plan or clue what to do, at the end of it I'd like what we already have"

Vacuous means vacuous
