sophia Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 With echoes of the black fish buccaneers, I see a British biligerance that is impossible to defend and the Honeybourne III seems to sum up a short sighted brexit selfishness that belongs to a bygone age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zidane's child Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 It now seems we have two options: 1. The Chequers "Agreement" or 2. No deal - crash out on WTO. This should never have been the case. The negotiations should have been cross- party and it shouldn't have taken 18 months to come up with a position/proposal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour are quite happy for the Tories to own Brexit. However, if Labour won a general election, they would then own Brexit and it would dominate their agenda and prevent them doing any of the wonderful things that Corbyn would like to do. I wonder when the penny is going to drop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Hammond is quoting 80 billion of extra borrowing just to keep things from completely falling down the toilet when the inevitable no-deal exit comes who wants to be left holding the baby? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear, you do realise the jobs they create also allows tax intake, less welfare and reduction in social care issues etc etc. UK loses all that as well as the legal corporation tax they pay. Of course we could just nationalise everything 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I’m surprised that folk are reading so much into Macron’s comments. He has said as part of his comments that the integrity of the EU must remain, so there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell that May’s Chequers plan will be accepted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brexiters clutching at "they'll blink" first straws and hacks who've never bothered to understand the EU but just put a union jack on things and do a WW2 comparison. "These egg tariffs remind me of the war when we had powdered eggs and no uppity brown folk" and so on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
