Well, that's what it looks like you're getting and it most closely corresponds with what leave planned in terms of the economic relationship with the EU.

 

So, yes, in this respect you've been shafted!

There's still plenty we can do to carry on frustrating any process that's not Brexit.

Not so.  You told us that you voted UKIP before, and that you voted Tory last time out can hardly come as a surprise.  You are also vote 'Leave' aren't you.  You have also told us at length about your formative years, that you were in the forces, that you have 3 pensions, and live in Thailand with your wife and son!

 

Oh well! There are the facts about unfreezing your pension for instance and your reply disqualifies you from ever moaning about it again.  Jeez, you try to help someone....

You seem a little either dim or very rude as do not read posts properly.

 

Also you should not compare people to Hitler as have little understanding of either people's original heritage or family experiences, it is deeply offending.

 

It's none of your business really but not an issue, I vote UKIP euro elections and councillors, and Tory in the general elections due to how the European parliamentary and local election system works. 

 

I dont have three pensions? I do have pensions though, unlike you though I have a very substantial income, but enjoy my work so still do. When you get to be all grown up you might find a vocation you enjoy.

 

My family is none of your business. 

 

I notice your called mommysboy, I guess I can guess what that means he he he, are you very close?

 

You are obviously a key board warrior and doubt you would insult me in real life, although I could hope. Is that your mum calling you to tea you best toddle off out of your bedroom and go and get it before it gets cold.

 

I suggest if you in real life talk like you do in here you will be constantly on your six.

 

O so I don't go off topic I can confirm I voted Brexit

The effect Brexit will have on Dover and channel crossings is that it will choke the UK.......not a little sometime in the future, but IMMEDIATELY  and DRASTICALLY.

 

It seems Mr Raab was quite oblivious to this....

A Brussels plan to put a customs border in the Irish Sea if there is no Brexit agreement will be included in a divorce deal, a leaked letter from Theresa May suggests.

 

The prime minister was accused last night of breaking her promise to the Democratic Unionist Party that she would never sign up to a deal that could allow Northern Ireland to be divided from the rest of the United Kingdom.

 

The European plan, known as the “backstop to the backstop”, would leave Northern Ireland tied to the single market and customs union if Brexit talks collapse

How dare you !
 
 

Remember, when the left can’t address the issue, they have attack you personally. If you don’t embrace open boarders and globalism, you’re a nazi.

I'm really not sure that you actually read the articles you link to. The quote you gave goes no further than the viewable portion this side of the the paywall. Had you read the article you would know it goes on to say:

 

"A Downing Street spokesman said last night: “The prime minister’s letter sets out her commitment, which she has been absolutely clear about on any number of occasions, to never accepting any circumstances in which the UK is divided into two customs territories. The government will not agree anything that brings about a hard border on the island of Ireland.”"

 

In addition to which, the title is misleading anyway,  No deal usually means no withdrawal agreement. This no deal seems to mean if, after the withdrawal agreement is signed and during the transition, the EU and UK fail to come to a future relationship agreement. It doesn't appear to touch the no withdrawal agreement type no deal.

Can we just get one thing straight, it is not a "peoples vote" it is a losers vote.

Do I take it that if the same decision is left to parliament it is still a losers vote.

Just to be clear I do not support referendums(government opinion polls) just trying to highlight the nonsensical comment.

 

That being said you are probably right, brexit has made "the people" a loser, so much for the "will".

(may be wrong here though)

Your interpretation is not quite right.

Essential services are normally seen as NHS, welfare, police and the like. Poster tried to put GPS in the same bracket.

A bit like saying that your arms, which you need to defend yourself, are vital organs.

“I hadn’t realised” will be written on the tombstone of Brexit.

So what?

 

At least Brexiteers actually post links.

 

Remainers publish links from the Independent and the Guardian (at least if they bother to post links).

Very amusing.  Regardless of your views. He does speak some common sense. Alf Garnett is a good comparison.

I don’t hate the Tories, I hate the left.

 

Everyone to their own.

 

I seriously dislike the tories and am a 'natural' Labour/left supporter - but for a few decades the Labour party has been a carbon copy of the Tory party - so they also lost my vote.

 

The definition of 'left wing' depends on the bias of the person  involved.  i.e. I'm definitely a 'lefty', and so understand why so many voted to leave in the referendum.  I also think many EU countries have a better 'social' policy.

 

But I also think some of the ideas/policies promoted by a tiny minority of the left wing/liberal elite have been taken too far.  e.g. Political correctness used to be simple, obvious and correct (IMO), but the definition has changed beyond recognition to the extent that even those of us who originally supported PC are left wondering 'what the hell??'!

Don't you mean wages have not gone up since 2007 or  wages have gone up for the first time since 2007. 

Salaries/wages have been decreasing since somewhere around 1990?

 

The year is just a guess on my part, but when I first started working around 1975 it used to be mostly middle-aged/older men in reasonably paid positions - and they were able to support their families on their salary alone.

 

Re-structuring resulted in their salaries remaining static (as their jobs were down-graded, but their salary protected for a few years) - whilst younger, cheaper staff with zero experience were recruited to take their place....  Hence the decline in 'service' provided by companies over the last few decades.... 

 

Nowadays, those doing the same job are paid far less - which is why most of the current generation of 'ordinary' office staff are no longer able to support a family on their own, and so both husband and wife need to work.  The definition of 'reasonably paid' has changed.

 

Edit - This appears off topic, but I've no doubt that this is partly due to company greed, and also partly due to the easy availability of cheap labour from eu countries.  After all, when it's so easy to obtain cheap labour, it's easy to increase the number of those paid the minimum possible - and then decrease the salaries of those above as 'job descriptions' are re-classified to the lowest possible scale.  Which then results in most 'job descriptions' being downgraded to a lesser scale and salary....

Only under a feasible scenario and certainly not at any cost. Something the English seem to have problem comprehending, a percentage of the vote was against Alex Salmond's plan not against independence.

It is a sad fact of life that the Irish, Welsh and Scots are only British when it suits the English.
