Just woke up as I'm on nights. Has CT arranged for his sister to punch any of you in the face yet?

It was his daughter iirc. Not that that makes any better (or worse) I suppose. :lol:

Well you seem pretty fucking confident that it's gonna be two thumbs up and Rule Britannia.

We're going to get a cracking deal iirc so no need to worry.

 

Seriously though, how the fuck was any of this necessary? The bureaucratic costs alone are going to be staggering.

Financial crash caused by the wealthy elite -> Overthrow of left wing government and introduction of right wing government -> Austerity justified as politically necessary but is in fact ideologically driven -> vast swathes of the country left behind -> urban elites (and I include myself in this) don't see the damage this is causing in local communities -> opportunity for the masses to lash out at establishment comes along and is taken.

 

All unnecessary, but all representing an entirely logical outcome after the fact.

 

In truth, I've blamed austerity in the past, and I think that was the largest single contributing factor - but it does go back further than that. The Tories were given the opportunity to fuck the country up and took it. It's not like we didn't know what they were like. The failure was in controlling the narrative after the first action. We could have avoided all of this then if Murdoch had been imprisoned then, IMO.

Just think of the years of effort and expense it'll now take to make the impact of Brexit as non-damaging as possible in order to protect precisely the people who voted for Brexit, so that they can say "see, we told you Brexit wouldn't be all that damaging". Sensational. :lol::jesuswept:

I can only imagine 'Hard Brexit' is a negotiating stance. The City will be distraught if they lose passporting.

 

My optimistic view also, but there's something determinedly blockheaded about May. She might be sufficiently disinterested in the good of the country to make a call in favour of short termist politics.

What a stupid article. Everyone knows the EU have refused to discuss anything prior to article 50 being triggered. How could she therefore know what any "interim" deal looks like.

Yes, it's the Financial Times commentator who is stupid :CT:

If the politicians have said in public that there won't be any discussions on the future relationship between Britain and the EU until after article 50 has been triggered then they are, of course, to be taken 100% at their word.
