Off Topic UK / EU Future

How did the Brexit chicken cross the road?
"I never said there was a road. Or a chicken".

 

The whole thing is a f***-up, from start to f***.
We have no negotiating position. The EU has a negotiating position, it’s this:
“Well, f*** off then!”

Jonathan Pie

 

And who can blame them?!

 

They were meant to beg us to stay because they can't possibly survive without us...

 

They didn't get the memo! Besides, they were doing quite well enough without us to start with....

 

Interesting...

 

Can we be told what are the risks of leaving the EU are, and why should we be trying to "mitigate the risks" if they don't exist? After all some are actively trying to bring these risks to the fore, whatever they are saying. All so easy said some. Fool if you believed it.

 

So after all this are we heading towards a "No deal"

What will that mean for the country?​

 

Barbed wire canoe....

 

We have no idea still where we are heading in my opinion. There will be a war of vetoes in Parliament whatever is proposed. The Chancellor sticks to his forecasts of a poorer future, while Rees-Mogg reacts to say he is wrong. What is clear is that unless the talks get somewhere that they haven't reached yet, people who live abroad will need to do what Redwood and Rees-Mogg advised, that is get their investments out of the UK.

 

There is one easy solution. Everyone who wants to stay in the EU should join the Conservative Party and elect Ken Clarke as leader. You can't get more democratic than that.

 

Good idea, perhaps they should also request their adopted countries pay their pensions.

Why? As you well know this is not just about pensions, but many types of investment. Further drains on the UK economy as the institutions who manage such things will set up divisions within the EU, taking the money with them.

 

Viva la revolución.

 

London will continue to dominate the world financial markets after Brexit, The UK will continue to attract the most inward investment, and the UK will continue to have low unemployment. France will continue to look to the UK with envy on all three.

 

At what time exactly did you fall headfirst into your sand heap?

 

I'm afraid you have backed an habitual loser in France.

 

Headfirst would not affect his thinking. As for arsefirst...

 

So we have had the first set of papers that are supposed to be helping business to prepare for a no deal. All they did was to show up the huge cost to companies and the country. Companies were left looking bewildered at what help was actually contained in them. Now we read that sorting a deal out could be pushed back a bit further, giving them even less time to get ready. Two years of trying to hold a political party together at the expense of the country's well being will be the end of this government one way or another.
