Sonatine 9907 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 As I read somewhere, a lot of these fuckers just want to wave a flag and hate on Johnny Foreigner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always believed common sense would prevail. It is in nobody’s interest to erect trade barriers. It’s going to be shite for the EU, even worse for us. A failure of statecraft on both sides. And yet both sides seem be boxed into a corner. How do we reach a compromise from here without another extension, which doesn’t exactly chime with getting Brexit done? Really? Have you seen who the EU are dealing with here? I think the unity and calmness they have shown is remarkable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4948 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Yeah the EU have been almost faultless in this process tbf. They set out exactly what the situation was 4 years ago and have stuck to it all the way through. It's hard to imagine how they could possibly have been any more transparent.

Dr Gloom 19714 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Maybe the only way we ever rejoin the EU is to go over the cliff first. Start again from ground zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4948 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) I've been reading a few opinions on this and I actually think rejoining is extremely unlikely now. They'd insist on the Euro for starters. And they'll also take the opportunity to move the union on politically towards greater integration, every step resulting in more and more people in the UK getting cold feet. It seems highly improbable. Edited December 12, 2020 by Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26100 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I agree. Plus it would become a wedge issue at every election. I think EFTA would be more likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19714 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Ed Miliband was barnstorming on Marr just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26100 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 It was hard to know whether Marr was playing Devil’s advocate or genuinely stupid but Miliband wasn’t letting him away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17522 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Was just about to post my weekly Marr rant. What an utter fucking arsehole Marr is, he needs to pensioned off ASAP. And well done to Miliband eviscerating him, he was both logical, passionate, and right. He would have made an excellent PM. If only he old eat a bacon sandwich...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14476 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 People are fuckin furious this weekend You can’t make a “tangible benefit” case to people who voted for a principle, leading to a fleeting feeling in a couple of weeks time...then?..... I think if the vaccine is delivered in a semi competent manner Covid will play second fiddle to the myriad of unintended consequences that we’ll be fuckin deluged with for the next 18 months.
