You can put as much lipstick on a pig as you like; it's still a pig.

Very interesting. . . whichever side of the Brexit debate you're on.
We're not in the Euro. Furthermore we have an opt out in perpetuity? The American bloke doesn't understand.
Should I fast forward? Is anything useful coming up?
BTW we have tariffs to protect against Chinese competition.

I see posts on here saying Brexiteers failed to plan, how can 17m of the public plan anything? We voted to leave and leave we will. No deal no problem the Eu loss not ours, a difficult transitional period perhaps and then watch the UK FLY

According to Radio 4 Today, about 1 trillion Euro of assets has been moved from U.K. to other EU countries because of Brexit. Well done!

The discussion was about the pedantic nature of burocrats. I jokingly accused our German fried of being a pedant. So I was referring to two issues simultaneously.
Double entendre usually has a rude second meaning.
A girl walked into a bar and asked the barman for a double entendre; so he gave her one!
Did I already post this? Sorry

No. "Doppelter Vorsatz" or "zweifacher Vorsatz" comes closest to that.

I have never said that but the moral and constitutional obligation on the government and parliament after the referendum was enough to make the result too difficult to avoid in any case. The 2017 EU Notification of Withdrawal Act passed by 494-122. Binding enough?
David Cameron committed the CONs to implement the result of the referendum. The very fact that he did so demonstrates that the referendum was not binding (in accordance with the act). The terms of Brexit were not specified. May's red lines are her own. LAB committed to Brexit but with a number of conditions. May's red lines and consequent "deal" contravene these conditions.

Bürokrat = Pedant in state service function
Yes, but I was also pulling your leg! Is there a German word for double entendre?
-

The right word is Beamter. Beamte are employed for life. Beamte must take an oath of loyalty to the state, on the contrary to state employees (Angestellte).
Bürokraten, right? do service according to regulations, without any flexibility
Pedant!

Of course they know. They won the referendum through lies and false promises, by telling everyone everything they wanted to hear. That was their only chance; had they told the people what we hear from them today, no one except the far-right and some hardcore haters would have voted to leave. Their strategy worked; the problem is, at some point the house of cards will tumble.
As a refresher, from the CNN today:

Ok no problem, I give 4 references agreeing the primacy of EU Law and you tell me the EU website disagrees with them. I can live with that.
Do you understand subsidiarity?

I've just had a moment of clarity!
Several times today, I have heard senior Brexiters state that another referendum equates to remain!
What should we infer from that?
I'll tell you what I conclude; they KNOW there is no majority in favour of Brexit.
TILT, Game Over!

Well, don't be shy!
Actually, it was an excellent show.
I don't agree with David Davies' views on Brexit, but he speaks well. Too few statesmen!
John McDonnell will take over Labour. They still won't get in.
That Hunt from the FO is useless. Certainly not Prime ministerial material.
That New York rock 'n' roll band were good!
As always, Andrew Marr was first class! Jewish and Cambridge as one would expect!

John McDonnell, David Davies and that Hunt from health and now at the FO on Andrew Marr today. I will have a pile of tomatoes to throw at the TV
