Christmas Tree

Dunkirk. Utter shite in every way possible.

Just give it to me straight Doc.

3pm Friday was always a favourite

No, he’s a weak politician in place due to his friendship with May. Hopefully she’ll have a good reshuffle in January and get some fresh blood in.

I can’t load pictures anymore since tapatalk went, (hence my lack of culinary classics in the cooking thread), but someone should hoy up Ed Millibands Xmas card and also whoever is running the Russian embassy’s twitter account is on good form.

Another win day.

Your “wow” story from Sunday night from the Sun that you linked. I feel like a teacher in a class of idiots.

Fuck me. No wonder the NHS is struggling. Click on the article and click on the big letters in bold that take you directly to the report. Zoom down to conclusions.

Jesus you’re thick That was a piss take of you posting an unsourced story from The Sun on Sunday.

Fuck me. No, I’ve actually read the report, not just the Guardians spin on it. Basically, it’s a very crude database crunching exercise based on no deal or a very bad deal. It also doesn’t include the advantages of our own FTA’s. But most importantly, as usual, the Guardian leaves out the bits of the conclusions it doesn’t like to keep its rabid snowflake luvvies frothing at the bit. EG As such, our analysis suggests that on purely economic grounds at least, the Republic of Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, will have more to gain from a relatively seamless and comprehensive UK–EU free trade deal than will other EU countries Basically tells you all you need to know about where this is going.

Wasnt That Northern Rock accountants? As for the article, utter tosh. Seems to be written from a view point of trading will cease post Brexit. The vast majority of what is imported/exported now will continue exactly the same post Brexit.

Project fear again.

Wrong! One of the biggest sectors we could cut red / tape / bureaucracy is in financial services.

I told you months ago that passporting would go and equivalence would be the future arrangement. You really should make notes. Also, Barnier in hot water for overstepping his authority with his recent put downs to the UK about what will happen next. According to the undisputed bastion of truth that is The Sun https://t.co/66oDbPT8PE

Only political upheaval is a Possible labour government, the bank exodus was project fear and we’ll have even less bureaucracy once we leave. Just a gentle reminder that we are not the pit of despair some of you make out.

In other news, Forbes choose the UK as the best country to do business 2018. https://t.co/8BD2DaZwop

Surely the most logical option is to negotiate the best deal we can get and save things like the Norway option as a fallback?

I give you the PM and chancellor and you give me that bunch.

Lancaster House? Florence?

Cameron, Osborne etc all made that perfectly clear on TV and in every paper. The prime minister said: “What the British public will be voting for is to leave the EU and leave the single market.”

No broadband?

CCTV and an honesty box.

Honestly you need a calm sit down. We had a referendum, were given options and the majority won. I liked the idea of as free access as possible to the single market and the ability to do our own free trade deals with the rest of the worlds. 18 months later this is still the position of the UK government. The EU know (they pretend they don’t), pretty much what we are after and have not told us to sling our hook. We don’t want WTO and neither do they, so the only outcomes are a bespoke deal, total capitulation from the UK, WTO rules or Brexit is cancelled. Ive been clear all along that if we don’t get good access and our own FTA’s then it’s not what I voted for and I’d be happy with Brexit cancelled. All I’m doing is backing the UK governments current position. No country has Brexited before so not even Barnier and Tusk don’t know what the end result will be, never mind a few loons on a football board.

Jesus wept

We are after a BESPOKE agreement, they want to agree one. We want as free “as possible” access to the single market whilst OUTSIDE the SM and CU. The EU ALLOWS bespoke agreements with many different countries from Canada to Ulkraine, neither of which except the four freedoms. Canada wanted a better deal than the Ukraine, we want a better deal than Canada. This is not rocket science. I told you many months ago that we’d end up in some sort of associate agreement. The EU wants as free as trade as possible, so do we. A deal will be done.
