The_Kincardine Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Pretty fair summary of today's speech in The FT: UK will come out of the single market and customs union and has an “open mind” on what future customs deal would look like Government wants a “phased process of implementation”, but not “unlimited transitional status”. Promises to put final deal to vote in both Houses of Parliament UK will leave EU without an exit deal, if no good deal on offer. May warns other EU member states that any attempt at a “punitive deal” for Britain would be “calamitous” for the rest of Europe. Post-Brexit, the UK will reintroduce immigration controls on EU citizens; no unilateral guarantee to EU nationals resident in the UK Common travel area between UK and Ireland will remain. Promises to continue to cooperate with EU on defence and use UK’s “unique intelligence capabilities” in fight against terrorism She says the vote to leave was not aimed at damaging the EU Most of this is old news. The only real worry is "No unilateral guarantee to EU nationals resident in the UK". This strikes me as utterly tragic and petty and is grist to White Van Man's mill. The other tragedy from today is Tim Farron declaiming those who voted for EU exit didn't want to leave the single market and we need another referendum. Sorry, Tim, but if those who voted 'leave' didn't realise they were leaving the single market then it shows just how rubbish such plebiscites are and to give them a second bite at the cherry would achieve nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thousands starving on streets... a basket case! Much better economy per capita than UK. Seriously rich country Seems so. The Legatum Prosperity Index IIRC put Ireland above the UK from a range of indicators of prosperity from GDP to general happiness. Ireland doesn't have our oil reserves either or as much whisky as we have! Ireland does have a global 'brand' reputation which we also have except we don't have the chance to put it to our advantage w/o the benefits flowing south. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for unemployment, maybe their approach wasn't to create millions of low paid, zero hour jobs. Maybe that's why they don't have austerity anymore ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
