Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

The only thing I see wrong in that Tebbit clip is , why would she go to Merkel in the first place as May has said we are out and will set in motion article 50 or whatever in due course . Anything different and surely she has to get permission to do .

Hmmm?

Hmmm......I'm shocked, I was expecting a grey woman in a grey suit and
fancy sensible heels...

And i'm now a T.May supporter, and have put in my order for the six video
set......:}

For anyone who was looking for the catch....here it is




No Brexit until 2022? Philip Hammond warns EU exit could take at least four years

Philip Hammond, the Foreign Secretary, has warned that it could take four years for Britain's exit from the European Union to be agreed.

Negotiations for Britain's exit can only start once Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty is triggered. This process will take two years but agreeing future treaties could take an additional four years.

Asked by Alex Salmond, the SNP leader, whether it would take longer to negotiate Brexit than World War II, Mr Hammond said: "If a future treaty between the UK and the EU 27 is deemed to be a mixed competence it will have to be ratified by 27 national Parliaments.

hate to disagree with you conspiracy lovers, but that's not a catch but merely a reiteration of how long it will or might take to get the jigsaw together

A bit like the post MaxK .

They are hoping the Brexiteers will die off in the meantime.

you guys are sometimes very silly
even simple commercial contracts can take a year in the cooking and here we're talking about something that is very complex for all sorts of good reasons

what i do not know is what happens during the gestation period
do all current arrangements stay in place?

It really tells you what a catastrophe and gross deception, in first of all
joining the Common Market and being lulled into the political entity that its
turned/turning into over the past 40 years, and now having to disentangle ourselves
from out of the EU.

But one of the reasons they're not triggering article 50 straight away, is to get
the lay of the land and discuss some of the terms on which to negotiate trade
deals..And most of the deals will just be on the terms they're at the mo, and will
be business as usual and carry on seamlessly.

The biggest fly in the ointment will be the free movement, but the UK has to stick
to its guns, and negotiate for only those who have the skills that the country needs.

sign the article next month and then if they put tariffs on our goods smack a 8% tariff on all eu goods .
they would soon be shouting for a deal

but we have now got a wimp as PM AND SHE IS A WEAK PERSON AND NOT HONEST FAR FROM IT . SHE IS GUTLESS

sign the article now its in the interest of the uk

if she does not sign it by end aug then the uk will go into recession
which is what she wants along with 71 tory mps to say we must have talks to stay in the eu

free movement
this is a very touchy and delicate and difficult subject for all - except for the likes of MrT who thinks ..... no i'll rephrase that; he doesn't think, so no need to continue down that line

applicable skills criteria is relatively easy to implement for those outside eu
assuming we want and need to trade with eu (and vice versa), then any changes will need to be far more subtle for a many good reasons

it may be that a good face-saver for all will be related to the receipt of assorted benefits, whether it be housing or free health care or perhaps even a link to the level of benefits and similar obtainable in their "home" country

obviously, there also needs to be phasing perhaps related to the amount paid into the system or the length of time employed in this country

the eu is fcuked the uk should walk away if the eu thinks it can push their views on trade , we should just walk away and put tariffs on all eu goods they would soon come running for a deal treat them with contempt which is how they work

if TM IS THE BEST THE CON PARTY THEN THE PARTY IS NOT FOR ME . NO MORE MONEY FROM THIS FAMILY

Haze,

Remember,

Good bye Dave , couldn't negotiate his way out of his own jacket.

And Fred i don't know why your gloating the Labour party is in tatters .

The sad thing is jimmy he thought he could sucker his way to a remain result , took us for fools .

This is the man who should be negotiating our exit from Europe .

Hopefully Osbourne to go next VIC ..

Hate to say it jimmyb but your right.

She will have re shuffle soon i would think jimmy . What do you think of her .
