Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

A soft exit will mean "more of the same"

We don't want that, we voted to get rid of that, how hard is it for the remainiacs to understand that?


Very, by the looks of it.

5,000 folks marched through London yesterday to demand that we stay in the EU. The speakers included some poor incoherent dishevelled Irish chap who I thought was a Big Issue seller invited onto the platform as part of a drive for diversity but turned out to be Bob Geldof. Though the folks, most of whom seemed to be notably physically unattractive and/ or significantly overweight showing, once again, that politics really is show business for ugly people came up with all sort reasons for protesting its clear that all wanted stay in the EU.And that is how they felt before the nation vote the other way year. These remoaners just cannot accept democracy.

Wake up!

Labour in Brexit chaos as senior MP vows to defy Jeremy Corbyn's order to vote against Repeal Bill

Labour MPs have been warned that following Jeremy Corbyn’s orders and voting against a key piece of Brexit legislation risks plunging the country into chaos.

Caroline Flint, a Labour MP and a former Europe minister, said she will not adhere to the three-line-whip imposed by Mr Corbyn as she urged her colleagues not to try and “kill” the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill.

MPs are due to vote on the Bill tonight with David Davis, the Brexit Secretary, having warned that blocking it would amount to agreeing to a “chaotic” exit from the bloc.

Earlier this week, Yanis Varoufakis, the Greek ex-Finance Minister, (who is a bit of a leftie but who we all know and love, especially on QT) advised Theresa May to "by-pass" Michel Barnier to get Brexit talks back on track.

He said that Mr Barnier had no mandate to negotiate on behalf of the EU.

An interesting thought.

Hmmm?

Yes. I think I'm all in favour of by-passing him and getting on with direct one-to-one EU trade talks.

Varoufakis is an interesting character but does like to play games. Barnier was appointed by the EU Commission, so does have instructions to present the EU's demands. Although called a negotiator, he has about as much freedom to negotiate as Goring had at Nuremberg.
There must be another term in french more suitable for his role. Extorqueur sounds about right. Maybe Principal Extorsionnaire. The English have never been very good at this foreign language stuff and simply don't understand. In german it is "ve hav vays to make you understand".

Barnier takes his orders from Big Bertha via brussels.

Nothing, but nothing will be agreed without the nod from Berlin, the other 27 simply don't count.

Agree Max. The term "EU" assumes the other 27 gave the nod in some manner and that they are informed of progress. I suspect the demands were written and agreed in the same way the democrats approved Obama care. "Just vote for it and you will find out what's in it".
As to points of query in the extortion talks, Barnier phones Junkie who says "I'm putting you on hold while I speak to the boss".

UK government confident of winning vote on Brexit legislation - spokesman

LONDON, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Theresa May's government is confident of winning a vote on a major piece of Brexit legislation, due in parliament later on Monday or early Tuesday, May's spokesman said.

Parliament is due to hold a late-night vote on whether to let the central plank of Britain's Brexit plan - the EU withdrawal bill - move to the next stage of the lawmaking process.

Asked whether the government was confident of the outcome, he said: "Yes. We've said this is a hugely important bill in terms of preparing the way for a smooth Brexit for business and the rest of the country, and we encourage all MPs (Members of Parliament) to support it."

Those were the days I was a big supporter of IBB...mind you in those days the employer wasn't allowed to rip the majority of their population off unlike now.

And now is under the €U yoke Stan...do try to keep up.

Nonsense Max.

Better than being up Farage's backside!, or Theresa's skirts.
