absolutely, work shortage basically means "slave shortage"

something that can't happen, like running out of orange juice or milk or worse, toilet paper

  We wanted to take back control of out borders and be independent from the E.U .

That isnt a "pipedream" , its the reality 

that's the very definition of a pipe dream,

taking back control of your frontier is mission impossible, look at all the refugees coming to your shores, they don't care about Brexit and they will keep coming, even without the EU

Has this fire sale of French and Spanish property started yet? If so, please post links. Ideally, I'd like to make my escape before the end of the year.

if you ask the Brits living in France or Spain, they are staying in their property and not leaving even of it means never to return to the UK ????

The same will apply to Pattaya. Seediness and originality was the attraction.

Pattaya was the best between 2000 to 2007/2008 before they upgraded everything to make it a "family" destination

god that place was awesome, and fun ????

We didn’t make a losing deal at the end of 4 years, then or now. 

You made sure that Labor ruled for 20 years until the late 70s ????

Churchill was voted out and booed at the end ????

You will have been better off with a German invasion at the end, wouldn't have matter for winning the war since your military capacity was limited and not decisive to win WW2 ????

  That is taking the extremes , to the extreme and then going a little bit further until you reach the Twilight Zone 

my point exactly, you can't reach sovereignty, it's a pipe dream, and true Brexit is your pipedream

I guess that nobody could have predicted how duplicitous the EU are, and they are doing this to punish the Brits for having the temerity to leave and to warn any existing EU members of the consequences should they want to leave. So it all boils down to frightening the members to remain rather than being fair and just so that members would not want to leave, I believe North Korea works on a similar process.

you mean nobody said anything about "project fear" and how it could damage the UK and that the EU will stand by its principles? I think it was clear from Day 1

even Maybot realized that, that's why Barnier had to write up for her the entire WA as she and her team had no clue where to start

The Germans didn't even want Barnier to write it up for the Brits, and let them sink by themselves in desperation

Barnier took pity on May (his mistakes) and tried to save the Brits from themselves,

how wrong he was ????

This is what happens when you help friends like the Brits, they bite your hand

Let them eat cake and starve ????

so the WTO deal, like the EU deal, is above sovereignty, like every international trade agreements

you want to go back to your sovereignty and be your own little isolated island? no problem, and go the NK way

there is no such thing as sovereignty in global trades,

Wow  you mean the price of cheese and French wines will go up 100% in France to recover the lost of sales to the UK market

quite possible it will go up too, but not as much as in the UK ????

co-working is the future, even mainstream companies are starting to embrace it

office life is miserable, so a real co-working experience is great

of course this is different from the other miserable office experience, the Business Center

Unfortunately it is the ordinary folks on the street that will suffer when prices of everyday requirements go up

by 40% in 3 months.

price of cheese and French wines will go up 100% ????

I hope this is done soon, deal or no deal, so we can move onto more important topics than the UK. 
 

 

You think it's the end of it? it will define the landscape of British politics for the next 20 years, blaming each other for the Brexit failure and even defining new party lines like the Brexit party

They have poisoned and killed the farang goose and are now trying to eat what's left of it

The UK needs to leave the EU, period. There is no negotiation. They could be like Turkey, a EU partner without being one ????

it's safe to say now that a soft Brexit is not going to happen,

let's see how Boris is going to announce it on Sunday, should be a good laugh ????

Like the Chinese, you can't believe Thai numbers

the mistakes from the west was to test everyone and report the real numbers,

do the Chinese way, and act like nothing happened

actually there was a far more robust pandemic in 1968/1969, the HK flu that killed millions over the winter in Europe, and it has been completely forgotten

Well played Boris my son, well played.

so far Brexiteers have been wrong on everything, the WTO deal will not be different, but I guess we will find out soon enough

Theresa May has also her share of responsibility, Boris shouldn't be blamed alone, he was handed a <deleted> show to turn into something awesome for the UK. That completely failed.
