Didn't think I would ever be watching politics on a Saturday afternoon...
Brexited | the worst threads live the longest
- Thread starter Silva
- Start date
What about if this race to the bottom/Singapore type economy occurs and the UK deregulates on workers rights, lowers wages, etc? Then the opposite might occur, European businesses moving to the UK, then shipping everything back through NI into the EU... oh forgot there wont be enough workers in the UK because of restrictions on FoM! Still with a points based scheme in play, then enough bottle-top-makers, widget putter on'ers, lefthanded screw driver makers, could be recruited from elsewhere as required. etc.
We just don't know do we?
Her party all love May now.
What the actual feck?
A party that ignores the Scottish Referendum, the EU Referendum, and would inflict yet another 2 referendums, and a simultaneous Brexit and Dissolution of the Union, and the economic double whammy that would inflict on the UK and in particular on Scotland. Yeah, I view them as lower than UKIP, as utterly shamelessly nationalistic as the BNP.
Apparently the whips of both parties think Letwin will pass by 5.
She’s a woman back in her place now, course they do.
You do know who the BNP are don't you? You do know the result of the EU ref in Scotland don't you? You are aware of the context around the indie referendum are you not? You are aware of the political policies of the SNP I imagine? You are aware of what UKIP stand for?
Your statement is unmitigated simplistic and plain wrong headed arse gravy of the highest order.
The Lib Dems are worse than the Khmer Rouge.
This is comedy.
I'd suggest you have a pretty poor grasp on Scottish politics.
NI will effectively be in the EU CU no matter what Boris says. You can't ship through NI or vice versa unless everything still complies with EU regulations. This will end UK manufacturing. The Uk will have plenty of workers but not enough jobs. The Uk cannot function as it does with a hard border. The UK cannot function as a low tax deregulated country, London can but the rest of the country couldn't.
All the same Sturgeon is meddlesome statist who in her own right has underperformed in her responsibilities in a number of different ways.
Hence why May was trying her bossy headteacher act one last time, silly bint.
This is a very different point from comparing the SNP to a quasi facist openly racist bunch of cnuts.
Absolutely
I get what you're saying but I'm not sure Singapore is a good example, it looks like their GDP per capita is twice that of the UK's, even with lower taxes that should be enough to build a few more hospitals I'd have thought. Then again I've not been there, they could be less happy than us I suppose.
They're not. Singapore is the best run country I've ever lived in.
It helps that they have 5 millions people living in a space smaller than Cork and have been able to build Sim City style in only 50 years but as an example of how an economy and society can be built it is unrivalled.
Feeling pretty dark eh? Open the curtains and let some sunlight in!!
I'm away at the mo' and a bit out the loop. So whatever happens with Letwin, if Johnson's deal passes we're leaving the EU on those terms?
Think if letwin passes it delays vote on deal until legislation clear.
Unrivalled for said circumstances.
Thanks. If Ken Clarke is saying Johnson's deal is 'undeniably bad', but he is still resigned to voting for it, it seems he will get it through whichever way though?
Or the casting votes will decide as they better understand the minutiae.
I think letwin will pass... That's good imo... Should force the extension and if not that should trigger a confidence motion
The numbers of Kyle will be the most interesting, assuming Letwin passes.
Ken Clarke voted for May’s deal as well though.
Yes I understand that. But almost anyone else ought to be an improvement.
Such as Rebecca Longbailey perhaps. Spoke very well again today.
Fair enough. Never thought I'd be fretting about parliamentary votes while sat in a New York diner having breakfast.
Thank you. A clear and consise answer.
Get your arse to Saddles in Soho and have the french toast.
Letwin bill looking like it may go through. DUP voting for it
DUP are DUP'ing. They're like spoilt children being denied sweets at the supermarket checkout - they've no plan or end game, they just want to have a tantrum.
Too far, I'm satying in midtown. Had pecan French toast yesterday
So, the Letwin amendment basically means Brexit is never going to happen?
Squeaky bum time!
Fingers crossed.
probably rules out no deal....i think
Gonna make it very difficult.
