Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

Do you think there will be a Deal or No Deal?

Aye, as a general rule it's usually safe to assume that people in mainland UK both care far less and know far less about NI than they should. Brexit has been a rather neat example of this, as demonstrated by the half-baked opinions on the issue that are still being put forward in this thread today.

Yep it's a real eye opener mate.
 
Nothing to disagree with there Wibbs.

The Backstop is no workaround though. The EU knew that with it in place there will be no one for the UK to trade with until if ever we negotiate trade agreements with either the EU or those few countries with no current agreements with the EU. We cannot even trade under World Trade Organisation Tariffs.

It is a shit workaround but short of remain, the only other vaguely moral possibility.

It's a trap!

If we're being moral about it then we either say the BackStop will apply to the whole of the United Kingdom or none at all, or we shall stay within thine tent, pissing.

Jeremy Corbyn says this is ridiculous.

Labour are going to build their submarine out of butter.

We really do know how to shoot ourselves in the foot but it doesn't answer the issue. No-one has known the answer to uniting Ireland. Make the Protestants move to England?

I believe in self-determination but that won't happen, meanwhile the EU have always known the Backstop and a border between us was never going to be an option because it tied our hands behind our backs.

:lol:
 
You don't have to be young, old, left or right to know that Brexit is a moronically stupid idea.
Personally as oldies we never had it so good. We could even use our smart phones, data and all on the same rate.
 
I know mate don't worry - thats why I was laughing.
It's not as if I mind being laughed at, I got used to that. It was just on this occasion I was trying to be. :lol:
 
Would I be considered a fruitloop to say I hate Mrs May's clothing style? Her short jackets make her look horrendous.
Yeah you're spot on. Kinda like Bram Stoker's Dracula with Gary Oldman meets Mary Berry...

Of course. In my experience the people who were stupid when they were young were still stupid when they were old and those who were intelligent when young and were still intelligent when old, people's prejudices may change of course.
 
Is it just me but does she walk like a man?

Must be all those years of walking through wheat fields.

You know the government are in a bad place when they're spinning May clinging on as some kind of victory and its only because that's the biggest win they've had for months/all year.

IDS told Sky News that May had a good chance of getting her party back on board if she went to the EU and played hardball and told them: “This is serious. If you want a deal you’d better damn well step up to the plate.”

He should have been a comedian.

I do wonder whether what they actually want is for the EU to do what the Tories do and mislead the public with vague statements on the backstop. The illusion is probably enough for some of them.

is he really the person who can advise about how to get the conservative party on your side... just a reminder from his wiki page
After months of speculation over a leadership challenge, Duncan Smith called upon critics within his party to either gather enough support to trigger a no-confidence motion or get behind him.[22] A no confidence vote was called on Wednesday 29 October 2003, which Duncan Smith lost by 90 votes to 75.[22] He stepped down eight days later, with Michael Howard being confirmed as his successor.

Duncan Smith became the first Conservative leader who did not lead his party in a general election campaign since Neville Chamberlain.

I think he's deluded enough to actually believe what he says.
 
Here’s one for the pessimists.

What comes with a worst case scenario of a hard Brexit?

What kind of damage can we expect?

The BoE modeled the absolute worst case scenario. It included the a recession, a third of the value of property being wiped off, the collapse of the pound, the collapse of the monarchy and the rise of Corbyn led Leninist Communism in the UK.
 
In 2008 the whole world suffered a terrible financial crisis. In 2019 the UK decided to have one all by themselves.
Surely the banks and financial institutions will be limiting their exposure to a degree though? Cause they kinda know it’s coming. Which is funny because they kinda also knew in advance in 2008.

Which is why you would expect more from the "grown-up" party in the Conservatives but their infighting is leading to this.

They're making preparations but they still don't know if it's really coming because the Uk still haven't really decided if they are actually going to commit suicide.
What concerns me more is how the country functions because people still think that Project Reality is scaremongering.

:lol:

Of coarse it's bloody scare mongering.
And even if it wasn't, no one here has a clue what will actually happen.

This thread is so funny at times.

That's not true at all. There are plenty of people who have some clue of what's going to happen and have created projections based on it.

It is not scaremongering. You won't be convinced until it actually happens and hope for your sake you don't have to find out.
If the UK leave with no deal whatsoever there is no way of escaping the eventual consequences of what you have done.
There are people who actually know what they are talking about

It can't be proved but if it does happen do you promise to beg my forgiveness for doubting. I'd send you a food parcel but there's no guarantee it would ever reach you.;)

It is totally impossible to project how the EU would respond if the UK was united in accepting a no deal scenario. Everything I have seen here are opinions based on what they *think* would happen, and what they *think* the consequences will be.

Pretending to be an authority on the unknown is what newspapers major in.
 
The BoE model that made all the headlines was the absolute worst case scenario which would be extremely unlikely to ever happen even with a hard Brexit. That's why it was heavily caveated, not least with 'this is not a projection'.

It won't happen because it won't pass through the commons. It's fun watching you guys propheseying doom and gloom, though.
