The seethe would be unparalleled. I'm sure any deal will do just that. It's always been the case that 'no deal' really means 'deal at a later point, but with much worse terms for the UK'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Academically Deficient Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 George Monbiot's thing in the Guardian today was very good. In short, Farage etc. and all the racist, xenophobic nonsense in recent years are diversionary 'smokebombs' to hide the true object: unhindered disaster capitalism. As ever, follow the money. Who stands to benefit? Well, it's not me, or the voters of Sunderland for that matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Now that Biden is President Elect I am really torn two ways about his statements about Brexit. On the one hand I’m delighted to seeing him put pressure on the fat useless fùck that is the British PM; on the other hand I think he should keep his nose out of things that have nothing to do with him. Lots of problems to deal with in your own shitheap of a country Joey boy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zidane's child Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Boris will get a deal with the EU. It won’t be an amazing deal but it will be a deal with free trade the main part of it. No doubt there will be bits where the UK will get shafted (fishing, agriculture etc) but the media will rim Boris for it and congratulate his stubbornness and negotiating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I barely see the point in discussing any sort of deal being made anymore. The only reason the Tories are turning up for negotiations is so as they can say "hey, we tried!" and their idiot voters, of which there are far too many, will obviously lap it up. It ends in no deal and a few Tories get rich off the back of it, which was the point to start with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly France and Ireland were before the UK. Edited November 25, 2020 by carpetmonster 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
