It doesn't stand up to reason. Justified dissatisfaction with the neglect shown by Westminster to the industrial heartlands was channeled by sharks. They said any old shit to get into power. Getting their target audience in the electorate absolutely incandescent, and quite unthinking with it. The BBC was sabotaged and much of the tax swerving media was onside anyway. So now everyone's angry, except the Chums and Putin, (who uses the UK to launder money stolen from the Russians, who think he's doing a great job f***ing up the West. The laundererd money then being used to buy influence in our receptive politicians and to fund agitators, here and in our European neighbours) who probably can't believe it worked? Rees-Mogg probably feels justified because the voting public fell for it and they should have known better, business being business and everything. He's made millions, Hoorah, and got a stack of cash invested in.... Russia! Hoorah! The majority of Brexit voters and all of Remain have been pissed on. I know we're angry with each other, but it's done now. What are we going to do about it? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 All that is left to do is wait. Tories have ruined themselves by pursuing No Deal on the back of COVID mess ups. Once both of those bite in to a huge recession and see other countries riding upwards after the crisis, it will end up with the tories being lost for another generation at least. Brexit is still a beacon because it hasn't actually happened fully yet. Brexiters still waving the flag, until trade barriers bite their companies and see them lose huge amounts of money due to Brexit directly they will continue to wave that flag. Farmers have already seen that pinch with seasonal workers. unfortunately the NHS has seen issues as well. It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better that's for sure.

darrenm Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 It's perfectly clear that the only reason that the UK Gov is calling no deal 'Australia style deal' is because it makes people think of white people and english speakers so it must be OK 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone needs to start calling this an "Ethiopia deal" and see how many are in favour...Brexit had nothing to do with racism though . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethiopia are covered by the EU's "Everything But Arms" initiative which means that all of their exports to the EU are tariff-free and quota-free, apart from weapons. It's miles ahead of what the UK's arrangements will be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Council - the heads of government of the EU members - gives orders to Barnier. The other day the Council said Barnier could continue talking to the UK if the UK moves on state aid and fisheries. So Barnier’s comment that negotiations will be “based on legal texts” is likely a criticism that the Internal Market Bill is incompatible with what the UK has already signed up to, not some massive climb down.
