As if we are at war.
Government reveals benefits of Brexit.
Ration books are in the post.

I better rewatch that episode of Supersizers where Giles Coren and Sue Perkins did WWII food.
Well it will certainly tackle the British obesity issue
Definitely with all the high sugar imports from the US
I can answer her question: none. You can’t remain in the costums union and do independent trade deals. That’s the very principle of it. It’s NOT a free trade area.
That isn't true. Countries inside the Customs Union are free to make as many trade arrangements with those outside of the Customs Union as they want - and do.
Why is it up to Ireland to clean up Britains mess? We have been dealing enough with them for centuries now. Ignorant post.
Like who? They are all EU members other than the micro-states and Turkey.
Note: A precondition of the customs union is that the European Commission negotiates for and on behalf of the Union as a whole in international trade deals such as the World Trade Organisation, rather than each member state negotiating individually.
That's why the UK want to leave it.
I would pay money to watch the reality dawn on the face of someone who voted for Brexit.
I'd say you could pay a fiver but the ways things are headed that might not even buy you a Fredo.

Article 50 extension would need major shift in UK politics, say EU officials
In other words "we might be nicer if you vote these cnuts out"

From their pov, there's no point extending the deadline of our demands are still unrealistic.
Yup, why allow time for more of the same bullshit.
On the bright side, we might get more time for another election or referendum.
Rees-Mogg’s investment firm that he part owns has launched a second Irish hedge fund to avoid Brexit carnage.
Oh yes it’s true. Come on, name all those trade deals done independently from the EU. By the way, this is one of the very reasons cited for Brexit.

So? If you think someone simply being Catholic is a reason to trust them then you either have no expose to the Catholic Church or don't want to realise the pure evil visited upon mainly children by the church. My point is that being a Catholic doesn't make you any more or less likely to be selfish or trustworthy than an Muslim or an Atheist.
The EU wants us to remain but if we insist on leaving then they want us to leave on the date we decided to leave. Why would they allow us to carry on proposing stuff that is never going to be acceptable for another 2 years? To extend takes the agreement of all 27 members and it is going to take a commitment to another referendum at the very least for them all to agree to let us have longer to get our shit together.
David Davis and plans are 2 things you don't really associate with each other.
Some companies will and those who stay may do for a shorter period than they would otherwise. Those that stay will on average invest less.
No. I'm sure everyone knows we contribute about 6% of EU GDP.
You mean 16% second biggest only to Germany’s 21%. The UK is a massive chunk of the EU economy, no two ways about it.

Yep. Typo. Point being it isn't a surprise so nobody is doing any underestimation.
Not for long. EU will make up for that while UK suffers
Speaking in Berlin on his first trip since taking up the role earlier this month, Jeremy Hunt told his German counterpart Heiko Maas that “there is now a very real threat of a Brexit no deal by accident, and this is because many people in the EU are thinking that they just have to wait long enough and Britain will blink.”
"Without a real change in approach from the EU negotiators we do now face a real risk of a no deal by accident, and that would be incredibly challenging economically. Britain would find that challenging, but in the end we would find a way not just to survive but to thrive economically. But my real concern is that it would change British public attitudes to Europe for a generation."
Or in other words " if the EU don't give in to our ridiculous demands we will shoot ourselves in the head but my real concern is that we would leave the EU"
He's totally insane. Get rid of one nutter and another one comes along. A whole conveyor belt of useless incompetents.

You'd think it was the EU that stopped us drafting a white paper for nearly two years.
I don't even know where to start with Hunt. He's lucky they didn't run him out of town after that nonsense.

Does anybody ever just get the feeling that this country is just circling the fecking drain right now?
Anyone else starting to think they are deliberately screwing up and stalling these negotiations to get a hard brexit? (And no tax regs for their billionaire mates)
Yep unless you're one of those who has their head in the sand.
So he reckons the EU better blink because the UK aren't going to. For fecks sake..
I'd suggest that either they are deliberately screwing it up in the hope of being able to dump Brexit and not leave or that they are aiming to crash out with a no deal to avoid having to comply with the Anti Tax Avoidance Directive being implemented in January next year as that might hurt their big business buddies. Both sound like insane conspiracy theories but given the insanity we hear on a daily basis about motorways being closed to serve as lorry parks and food and medicine stockpiling and rationing you do have to wonder.
Yes
Not just their big business buddies - if you think that the most pro-leave Tory MPs, Lords and donors aren't all tax-dodging themselves then you haven't been watching closely enough. It's personal for them.
I believe that this chaos is the Tory Brexiter "strategy" for negotiating with the EU. Feck around for a couple of years and eventually the EU will be desperate enough for a deal to give us what we want.
No deal can be blamed on evil EU beaurocrats if necessary.
There are a powerful group of people who want to turn this country into a low tax low regulation economic pariah. Sort of an America on steroids. After we crash out, just watch how taxes are cut, just watch how regulation (banking, food, safety, healthcare etc) is done away with under the guise of keeping the economy afloat. Just watched h how fund managers and American billionaires pick up cheap public assets.
For the 4581st time, the fix was in from the start. Years ago.
Food standards you say?
Brexiteers will be pleased. It's like the good old days.
If you're asking does Theresa May want a hard brexit, then I think not. Of the others some do and some don't, and it's that disagreement that's led to no real strategy and hence the screwing up. Same disagreement that started the whole cock-up in the first place of course.
