Off Topic The Politics Thread

If a person can’t grow a flower in post Brexit Britain then we really are ****ed ... plenty of people near me in London growing lovely plants in their lofts.
If all else fails give your mother plastic flowers from the pound shop ... bonus is mums can then feed them to swans so in turn we can use them as bait to the catch giant inshore whales ... they love to eat plastic

 

I think you will find the deal quote was for making deals with other countries once out of the EU. Funnily enough we haven't left yet? When we do then we will see if he is talking crap.

 

I am missing something here? I blocked all the Euro freaks in November Goldie so sorry if they have Replied to you. Life must be so good out there that they can't seem to keep off here?
maybe we should sink the French fleet again?

 

No problem to me, Ellers.

A full state visit to Britain is being planned for Donald Trump to coincide with the 75th anniversary of D-Day, The Sunday Times can reveal.
Downing Street officials have held secret talks with their White House counterparts to discuss the timings of the visit, which would involve an official banquet at Buckingham Palace and a carriage procession down the Mall.
It is understood that the palace, which would have to agree the visit on behalf of the Queen, has been told about the discussions.
Informed sources said the visit is expected to be announced in April and to take place in June when Trump plans to attend the D-Day anniversary in France to commemorate the liberation of the country by the allied forces

 

Labour activists blaming Fiona Bruce for Diane's dire performance on Question Time. Presumably they also blame Nick Ferrari for her car crash LBC interview on police pay

 

The only person to blame is Diane Abbott and her 'utter thickness'. The woman is just stupid. And I am being nice to her.

'Fast track' lanes for UK tourists in Portuguese airports post-Brexit
by Westmonster
Brexit
January 21, 2019
In yet another embarrassing drubbing for the establishment’s increasingly bonkers Project Fear, the Portuguese government have revealed plans for British tourists to get ‘fast track’, UK-only lanes post-Brexit. British tourists are a huge financial asset, this is the type of common sense solution we’ll see plenty more of once the UK has left the European Union.
Prime Minister Antonio Costa has announced the lanes will be running at Faro Airport in the Algarve and Funchal Airport on Madeira.
“Millions of Britons visit Portugal as tourists every year – we have to ensure the flow is not interrupted,” he reiterated.
A few days ago PM Costa tweeted: “Today approved the contingency plan for the Brexit. The package of measures aims to provide guarantees of security and tranquility to the 400,000 Portuguese residing in the UK and the British 23,000 to reside in Portugal, and keep the tourist flows at regular levels.”
Portuguese Economy Minister, Pedro Siza Vieira, has also revealed that tourists won’t need a visa even in the event of a No Deal Brexit. He told Reuters that: “In the absence of an alternative proposal by the United Kingdom, what every (EU) member state is doing is adopting measures that allow them to react to a unilateral circumstance.”
He also revealed that Portugal will “unilaterally” guarantee rights for British citizens living in the country, including access to healthcare. European governments are going to do everything they can to ensure a smooth relationship with Brexit Britain moving forward, it’s in their interests to do so.

 

No, it wasn't. Here's the quote in full:

“The free trade agreement that we will have to do with the European Union should be one of the easiest in human history.

“We are already beginning with zero tariffs, and we are already beginning at the point of maximal regulatory equivalence, as it is called. In other words, our rules and our laws are exactly the same.”

“The only reason that we wouldn’t come to a free and open agreement is because politics gets in the way of economics,”

“We don’t want to have no deal. It is much better that we have a deal than no deal,” he said. “We can of course survive with no deal. And we have to go into a negotiation with those on the other side knowing that’s what we think.”

“You cannot leave the European Union and be in the single market or the customs union, they are EU legal entities,” he said. “That’s the legal definition – if you are out of the European Union, you are not in the single market or the customs union.”

 

Now show me who said that?

Firstly just to confirm he did say 'post Brexit' and "should be" that was from Fox. I don't remember Gove saying it.

Although I can see why people have used it.

 

I apologize if this has been discussed earlier on the this thread but I did read all of of them back to Saturday and all of today's but neither the British media, the Canadian media or this thread seem to have too much information about what the Plan B entails - please, what does Plan B actually entail

 

I don't really think May has a planB other than trying to get the EU to drop the Backstop (which won't happen).
What is more worrying is the awful Yvette Cooper trying to derail Brexit with her amendment to extend article 50 and prevent a 'no deal' Brexit. I am sure the honest Bercow will agree to it. But I heard tonight the Government don't even need to go along with it. Hopefully May will tell them to "sit down shut up" .

One in three children under the age of 12 to be boiled down for pills and soap in the event of no deal brexit, says new report

 

Plan b was pretty good hey. I see a great deal of thought and organisation has gone into this. I can see article 50 being extended.

 

Shut down anyone you don't agree with......where have I seen that before? You brextremist freaks really are difficult to debate with. Only messing with you Ellers cat. You voted to leave and the prime minister you voted for is letting you down. I would be pissed off too in those circumstances

 

That would make the European elections interesting. I am led to believe that if we are still part of the EU in May, we are legally required to hold elections or the whole EU wide election is deemed illegal.
In the 2017 General election, only 10% of the electorate voted for parties with remain in their manifestoes ( and their share of the vote was down by 3% from 2015).
