Gemmill 34151 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Whether she was caught off guard is immaterial. This is SO unlikely to be a masterful political manoeuvre. You're giving May and Davis way too much credit imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fucking airtime that cunt has gotten and continues to receive is a disgrace What a slimy hypocrite. “I voted to lose my job. I am the turkey that voted for Christmas.” He voted to get stuffed but not eaten. I wonder what his thoughts are about EU citizens being forced to leave the UK after Brexit and their pensions.

Yep, he's a horrible little cunt. Still intends to draw his EU pension: "Why should my family suffer?" A genuinely stunning lack of self awareness.

A genuinely stunning lack of self awareness. I saw him on the Marr show on Sunday (the amount of representation he gets is sickening but that's another matter). Anyway, he was more angry and sweaty than I'd seen him before, gave the impression he was hung over. I loved his claim that literally nobody else had done more to stem right wing extremism than him. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4948 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 He'll see himself as a pressure release then. Flatly wrong though - the pressure in the UK was anti-establishment, not racist change. He morphed something potentially positive into something horrifying. Still though, the man is shameless - hardly likely to come out and say anything genuinely self-reflective. Still fighting his war at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26116 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) So the latest state of play is that all the UK will align with EU regulations. So we'd basically still not be able to make our own laws and no longer would have any say in how their made.

Alex 30212 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Always thought that would be inevitable if we wanted to trade with the EU (which we obviously do), although at the same time it makes Brexit pointless (which it obviously is).

Renton 17530 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I might be wrong, but there will still be border issues if we reject ECJ jurisdiction because transgressions will have to be sorted out at the border. So there will still be non tariff barriers (and much more so if we are not in the CU). Still issues with NI and Dover then. Anyway, yes, it appears Davis has been bent over the barrel and is prepared to accept anything thrown to him by the commission. A soft Brexit resulting in an incredibly expensive worse deal for us. Hooray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want to have a separate but equal regulatory system the final say will still have to lie with the ECJ (or similar European body). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26116 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 People have been claiming that the DUP are shrewd negotiators. They're not. They're just stubborn cunts. Hence why the NI assembly has been suspended for nearly a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
