David Cameron, eh? Hiding in the potting shed for the last 6 months in case Gerald and Margery from the local Conservative Association walk past and berate him for putting up the cost of their annual trip to Tenerife. All political careers end in failure.

Cant see there is any sensible reason for any Labour voter in Scotland to vote against independence.

Wonder what Nissan think now.

Somehow I don't think you'll find many residents of Chipping Norton holidaying in Tenerife.

It was Lanza, and no...you're right.

Nissan won't give a fuck, they've been brought off. They're on a win win. Only problem is now everyone else will want the same deal..........

On Bloomberg May Sets Out Brexit Vision With Vow to Quit EU Single Market

...
Laying out the government’s Brexit plans with 12 core objectives, May said that she was confident a deal can be reached with the European Union once the trigger to leave is pulled by the end of March. She called for a “phased approach” to implementing the new rules to ensure Brexit is “smooth.”

May offered a series of other aims for the coming talks:

• She wants to recast membership of Europe’s customs union by maintaining tariff-free, friction-less trade with the EU, but without having to impose the same duties on non-EU countries
• The ability to negotiate new trade deals with countries outside the bloc
• She wants transitional arrangements for financial services and other companies so new rules are phased in over time
• No more “huge” U.K. contributions to the EU budget

...

And that did Sterling some good.

May opposes the basic human freedom of movement because at root she is anti-human and anti-freedom.

Love to see her flee the country and have the French turn her back with a gallick shrug

SMH at 'but people didn't vote to leave the single market' when i would argue that this is exactly what they fucking voted for you shitstaple.

Theresa May has said the UK "cannot possibly" remain within the European single market, as staying in it would mean "not leaving the EU at all"

So there are no countries which are within the EEA but outside the EU? That's a logical impossibility is it?

I had long suspected that Theresa May was actually quite clever. I'm now increasingly coming to think that she's just another complete idiot, but one with just enough sense to STFU most of the time. Her ascendancy to power may not have been the result of some brilliant long-game strategy after all, in fact she may have become PM almost entirely by accident. And now she's perfectly placed to do the one thing she's ever seemed to genuinely care about: get rid of immigrants, even if it's by reducing the country to such a backward shitheap that they all leave voluntarily.

Trump trashing NATO must be an absolute windfall for May I guess. The one trump card (sorry) the negotiating team will have is security and thanks to our ridiculously overblown defence budget its something the UK can bring to the table (compared to other EU countries). Trump potentially pulling the NATO rug from under the EU states will be concentrating some minds I reckon.

Leave promised a load of nebulous shit, including yes we'd leave the single market and no we wouldn't.



Remain promised a load of crap as well but lost so I suppose it all balances out

I agree that they did, but they don't appear to think they did, according to polling.

UK voters want single market access and immigration controls, poll finds

They are, but not in the common VAT area, which occasionally really annoys people (eg me, that one time) who hope to bring back loads of cheap baccy.

Some did . Some didn't.

My MIL voted out as she wanted things to be like they were when she was younger. No thought either way about the single market or customs union. It was just nostalgia for a simpler world .

That, and not liking foreigners

SMH at 'but people didn't vote to leave the single market' when i would argue that this is exactly what they fucking voted for you shitstaple.

That was the logical conclusion of what would happen if we left the EU and wanted to stop free movement of people, but most of the main leave campaigners at one point or another told people during the campaign that Brexit didn't have to mean leaving the single market (aka the having their cake and eating it option).

I had enough arguments with leave voters on this point at the time to be sure there were a fair few who actually believed them. Whether they still have voted to leave anyway I don't know, but I'd be surprised if there weren't more than 2% of the population who were swayed by this often repeated line by the leave campaigners.

Well, yeah, but not fully in. Don't rely on an EHIC card to fix you when you get ills.

oh and she said she wants rights for EU nationals settled asap, couple of member states don't, while you are on a "get rid of immigrants tip"

I voted out but didn't vote to leave Single Market at this stage, coz a two year transition is nuts - she appears to have got some movement on that
