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....

Stan , you have the same Math teacher as Abbott ?

165 days to go.

At last

Just testing to see how long someone on here noticed it...you win 1st prize. 😂

Is that for the idiot of the month?

Theresa is doing well in Brussels.

I glad she has the DUP supporting her to unite the UK.


I can see why some exiters like Rees-Mogg are already fleeing the ship.

Prominent Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg has defended the move by a City firm that he helped to found to establish an investment fund in Ireland ahead of the UK leaving the European Union.

Is that really showing his faith is a littler "england".

What a shower this Government are...they will have to buck up before I vote for them again 😂

I'm actually warming a bit towards TM. Her negotiation task is phenomenally difficult.

After watching her in the H of C this afternoon, I actually do now think she does seem to be doing a reasonable job on things. I cannot see who would do better.

God knows how you get a most probably unnecessary, unneeded and unwanted backstop written up into an agreement, that will satisfy the EU, the Brexiteers and TM and her team too.

Should just tell the EU to like it or lump it re N Ireland.

We won't be putting a hard border up so up to them what they want to do and that goes for deal or no deal.

Over to you Barny boy.

Pulling up the drawbridge would suit some.

Fortress "Great" Britain will suit others.

Mainly the continent.

Fascinating, with lorries from the ports backing up to London and Midlands.

You tell 'em, Dilbert.

:o)

Lol Hils.

So tell me how the EU will cope with the N Ireland border problem if we walk away with no deal.

UK stance is clear , not putting any hard borders in place and any questions ring Brussels.

EU will have a much bigger problem with the border if there is no deal than if they accept our current proposals whatever they are.

Brussels playing silly buggers again imo. Should just walk away now , keep our money and tell them to join the queue if they want a deal with us.

Fred , if there are going to be tail backs here then they'll be twice as bad on the other side of the channel given we probably import twice the amount of goods from the EU than we export.

Their tail backs will be from Calais to Frankfurt going on your calculations.

Divide the Imports/exports by 27 and then compare to UK.

Fred , what are you rambling on about now as I fail to see your point. The EU export more to us in goods and it comes in through the same places ours go out from so the problem will be bigger on the other side of the channel.

Paris will be grid locked going on your theory Fred.

Dil If you have been to Paris recently it is grid locked
allready. Marseille might be getting worried however.

only the peripherique!

Lol M , wait til the French farmers start blockading the ports because our farmers can produce everything cheaper than them and they'll have their subsidies cut to help fill the black hole caused by our departure.

Tailbacks will reach Rome.

I think I have cracked this one. They could turn Belgium into a lorry park and charge for parking, which would help fill the black hole in the EU budget when we leave. QED problem solved for the EU. I Should be a MEP

Dilbert,

If the UK were to walk away without a deal, I would've thought the EU would just create their own hard Irish border. I'm sure they'd be within their rights to do so, and there'd be naff all that the UK would be able to do about it.

I can see where they're coming from on this issue. You might be happy to eat imported American chlorinated chicken and hormone injected beef, but I wouldn't want to see it in my boucherie!
