I hope you are right but the Irish are determined not to budge on the backstop, are you hearing something different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mounts looking about right Cheese now looking like the cabbage he is. As the deadline approaches, let’s see who buckles first.........our lot are playing a dab hand here by appearing to act numb...... Seen it already in the last week....Portugal’s airports ready to be opening UK only lanes after Brexit for us, the French openly saying they’re ready for normal customs checks after Brexit, Barnier admitting on Wednesday the EU will find the solution to the hard border in Ireland. No wonder this thread has gone quiet with the left beaters....oops, I meant wingers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thik that the EU have worked out that it would be better if we left, we are too much trouble if we were to now stay. They will budge if the UK says that this is it. I think that the amendment by Graham Brady might do the trick. Big week, mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You posted a link a while back, with an MEP (from the Czech Republic?) talking about the importance of the EU not playing games- well that would be their chance wouldn't it.

They were sold a dream of unbridled access to a plethora of lucrative trade deals post brexit. Please tell me where 'let's face a cliff edge' was posted on the side of a bus?

I don't doubt that some or all of your friends were fed up but the people i speak with voted leave because were told there was a promised land outside of the EU and some were against immigrants taking their jobs. What JRM et al didn't tell them that there would be pain for decades to come, neither did he tell them that hundreds of companies would actively seek to leave the UK in the case of a No Deal and many people would lose their jobs as a result. I know you knew that was likely to happen, so why didn't you tell your friends that too? Maybe they would've changed their point of view in full knowledge of the risks?

Her 'deal' is only the transition agreement anyway so we can go from there. I am sick to the fucking back teeth of Brexit now yet I am compelled to still read up on the latest and tune in to R5 and LBC to listen to cunts talk shite about it. We cannot prolong the agony further surely? It's becoming clearer now that May has been very shrewd to put the Backstop in her deal, as a smokescreen, with every intention of taking it out. In the meantime she is just sitting back and watching the opposition split all over the place about anything and everything - except Backstop. Most Tories, and the DUP, have stated they would vote for her deal without the Backstop. It's just a matter of time before the red herring goes, but why should she rush? Let's face it, there are only two options... 1) May's deal without the Backstop. 2) No deal .. without the Backstop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we hadn't joined the EU and we were currently trading equally with the rest of the world, controlling our own borders etc and someone came along, and said, let's sod the rest of the world and just trade with 27 other countries, open our borders and pay £millions for the handicap, they would be brandished a fruitcake.

The trouble is folk like you don't even understand what the EU is, or international trade and are clearly a fruitcake. The EU negotiated over 160 bilateral agreements or FTAs with other non-EU countries. When we leave we'll have to start from scratch again. How on earth can anyone suggest your average Brexiteer has a fucking clue what they are talking about when nonsense like this gets repeated?

Not certain by any means there is a clear majority for Brady or Murrison's amendment. Cooper's amendment could prevail put a timeline on things and rule out in effect, no deal. That completely changes the game as remainers in the Tory party backing May's deal as the only horse in town suddenly aren't locked in. The ERG suddenly seem to be backing down as like everyone else, deep down they know no deal is a total disaster - and it seems like the blame being pinned on them for it was too much for them to deal with. As ever, remainers are the only ones right in this whole process. The deal we have is the best deal we're going to get. That isn't opinion, its absolute fact. As Brexiteer after Brexiteer rows back desperately it does make me laugh. Spineless cowards to a man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
