WILLIEA Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Document from EU saying that what UK wants is impossible and not compatible with their goals. Everyone with any sense knew this would be the case, that the cake and eat it scenario was a non starter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention all the people who voted Leave because "have your cake and eat it" sounds wonderful, and though it seems impossible these amazing politicians obviously know how to make it happen or they would never have suggested it in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never understand that analogy. What's the point having a cake and not being able to eat it. Seems a tad pointless 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a tad pointless The analogy is that if you eat the cake at lunchtime, you no longer have it to eat at dinner time. Maybe cans of beer would be a better analogy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 What a clusterfuck. Tories saying they want to be out of the single market but want frictionless borders. Can’t happen. It’s like watching a football match and wanting both teams to win. Corbyn repeating his “jobs friendly Brexit” shite. It’s shite Jeremy; a completely meaningless, vacuous load of shite. How he’s getting away with this utter drivel without being challenged on it defies believe. The Tories have no policies on Brexit and the Labour leader’s policy is a meaningless sound bite. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTG Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I was in Gibraltar yesterday. In the event of a hard Brexit, the place is fucked. There is a significant movement into and out of Spain for working people. That will grind to a halt. It's a mini Ireland situation but there is no Irish Sea fallback. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

git-intae-thum Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Gibraltar etc... are in for a tough time. Can see them going it alone in the eu a la Malta etc....but hard decisions have to be made and there may be years of uncertainty inbetween times. They maybe could have come with Scotland back into the eu.......however I suspect the exact nature of our eu relationship post independence is still to be decided by the people of Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colkitto Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Most likely outcome now is a hard Brexit going by rumours on social media. The UK government are supposedly going to propose that the UK wants to keep EU standards and rules but on their terms as agreed by the Cabinet Committee. That means out of the customs Union and Single Market. They are also proposing to guarantee the rights of EU Citizens in the UK. But don't see anything regards free movement of people. The EU have been consistent from the very start and insist on free movement and membership of the Customs Union and Single Market to keep the same arrangements. No idea how that effects the Irish border and to me it looks like they have sacrificed the GFA. If the rumours are true and this is the outcome, then we are all in for a very hard time and will force Nicola Sturgeons hand in call indyref2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
