Without the EU workers, we'd be in a royal mess. If you could just tweak immigration law to read only people with a definite job is allowed to stay or claim any benefit in the country I would think it would appease a lot of Brexit voters.

Erm.. we can actually already do that..
 
I was at a University expansion meeting in my City. The question of Brexit came up and the CEO replied we're following every piece of news on Brexit before we decide to invest 50 Million pounds on expansion. Uncertainty is causing havoc.

I have this weird idea that occasionally, leaders responsible for the lives of 70m+ people, will once in a while just do the right thing.

I know it sounds daft, which is why I refer to my conspiracy nut side.

Yeah, that’s just mental. ;)
 
I thought Brexit means Brexit? Don’t tell me that was just another meaningless sound bite?!
 
Jeremy Hunt replaces Boris :lol:

She's running out of allies to fill positions with!


He was a remainer too so this will go down like a cup of cold sick.

I personally don't think it was ignorance. Nobody including the main Brexiteers in the government knew the complexities of an exit. We now have a government who are fudging the issue based on appeasing their colleagues and their personal ambitions and futures as MPs.

If we go without a deal what happens if the USA, China, India, etc decide to put up tariffs on certain items we export as is happening with Trump? As a European bloc we can retaliate as a small country we'd be in a pickle.

All the downfalls of Brexit have been pointed out so many times, literally nothing is unexpected, the Brexiters just didn't want to listen and still are not listening.
If Brexit is supposed to mean leaving the CU and SM, it is actually impossible without breaking the GFA. It didn't mean that to most Brexiters at the time because that was not what the instigators were saying.

The government is only interested in saving their skins.

The UK will be in deep trouble on their own, because not only will the USA, China, India etc be competitors but also the EU will change from being a friend and colleague to becoming a competitor as well. Japan will be furious. All the big economies of the world against a relatively small nation on their own with no deals.

It's actually a bit simpler than that, the poor people from their generation die younger and the rich old twats keep on voting

At least anecdotally, I don’t see much difference of opinion between richer and poorer older voters on Brexit (granted the former live longer on average).
 
I might be totally thick here but can somebody explain what Theresa May is actually negotiating for?? I thought the whole point of Brexit was to leave the EU and that's it??

If the country has voted to leave, surely they knew what the implications were? I don't understand why and how Britain expects to leave on its terms.

Farage:

"In March 2019, the current leader of Ukip, Gerard Batten, will reach the end of his term in office. Unless Brexit is back on track by then, I will have to seriously consider putting my name forward to return as Ukip leader."

If Farage hadn't noticed, the UK will also be leaving the EU in March 2019. From whom are the UK going to be independent, reality? No, done that.

It's not you who's thick. May is wanting to leave the EU but keep all the benefits of being in the EU. Unsurprisingly this negotiating stance will definitely not work.

Why would it need to be in Scotland?

Maidenhead's pretty safe.

I think it'll be Rees-Mogg, though. It's the most ridiculous of the possibilities so it's gotta be the one that we end up with.

Surely his anti-abortion stance will go down like a lead balloon?

So Britain wants to have its cake and eat it?? It's so wrong! So what's happened to all the Brexit MEANS Brexit rhetoric???

Yes!

Without a deal you'll be able to shake each others hand over the border, extend your neck out and kiss each other but can't trade legally. Unbelievable!

And you’d have to step over the craters caused by the inevitable border bombs

I genuinely think the Tories know the public is bored of brexit. Really bored of brexit. as Danny says, no one knows or cares what a customs agreement is. No one cares.

And this is just the start of it. There's no way that whatever gets agreed in the next 9 months will be the end of it. We're looking at years and years of endless Brexit talk, political infighting, governments being brought down etc etc.
