Popular Post aright Posted March 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2019 It has been obvious for some time that TM's plan is not going to work out so down the pub last night Cornflake came up with a new proposal. We stay as a member of the EU for the next forty odd years and during this time the EU will pay us £55 billion per annum but to be fair we will give some of it back to them on condition they spend it where we tell them to. We will initiate all legislation affecting the EU but member states can have no input to the legislation and can only vote yes or no. After forty more years we will have another referendum. It was generally agreed after Kneecap had done the count there was nothing not to like about this plan. The plan is familiar territory for the EU so we would not anticipate any problem with 27 member states signing up to it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welovesundaysatspace Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Sir Ivan Rogers has said Britain is not ready to face Brussels in the massively complex trade negotiations that will begin if Theresa May gets her Brexit deal through parliament: “[The future trade negotiation] is a much bigger task for London - for Whitehall and Westminster - than the negotiation we have just been through. It’s going to involve every department of state in depth from the top of those departments right down through the system ... You’ve got to have confidence as chief trade negotiator, both at an official and ministerial level, that you have got a highly competent set of people in every area from aviation to energy to phytosanitary to competition to employment. In every area, you’ve got to have vetted that team, know it’s got the capabilities, know it’s got the resources, know it’s got the legal framework and the background and be at least as good as the team on the opposite side of the table. It isn’t the case. We are not in that position.“ (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/blog/live/2019/mar/04/brexit-latest-news-admits-16bn-for-poorer-towns-to-be-spent-over-next-seven-years-politics-live) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk to the Swiss and to the Norwegians – they live in a permanent state of negotiation with the EU.” (...)

Ivan Rogers is a civil servant and passenger on the EU gravy train. Sound like a bone idle one too. Theresa’s ‘Bribes’ to poorer constituencies and Leave areas? Smacks of a desperate attempt to persuade predominantly LAB MPs to back her deal. Still won’t persuade the electorate, who can see past that.

Loads of like minded Remainers on there. Always immediate vilification of any poor soul who sports an opinion to the contrary. Source of many death threats too, according to some.

Agree entirely with the first para. - but it is entertaining to watch the uk govt. desperately try to find a way to effect BRINO... I disagree with your second para., as I think it will be uk citizens that voted for brexit that will eventually become even more annoyed with their govt. as they backtrack, delay and try every measure to ignore the referendum result. Us TV posters are quite rightly, irrelevant - and of course as it drags on, we'll continue posting. If the uk and eu govts. get their way, and we end up with BRINO, plus paying a large sum for the privilege - it depends on how uk voters react. If they don't care, there's no reason for us to drone on! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is terrible, it is all too easy now for people to hide behind a computer and say what they want, I doubt very much if these people would say the same face to face. We have it here on ThaiVisa where some people name call and again would they do it face to face. "What kind of country has the U.K. Become?"

I looked into this a while ago, and can't be bothered to do so again. As far as I could make out, the eu auditors 'sort-of signed off' their accounts, whilst also saying that there were serious discrepancies in various areas, and as far as they could make out - a fair amount of the money spent was 'unaccountable'. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
