Genie Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I’m amazed the EU are still committing so much time to this. I’d have thought they’d have just issued a take it or leave it by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EU has never been a body for rushing anyway, the time limits are pretty much ours not theirs I guess you’re right, the willingness to commit personnel for such a long time is a sign they want to get something out of it. I pray a deal comes because if people think 2020 was bad I can’t even imagine 2021. A pandemic, no money, no jobs, spiralling government debt, higher taxes, a no deal Brexit finishing off the businesses that managed to survive 2020, the healthier ones pissing off to mainland Europe, and Boris and co in charge for 4 more years with a huge majority. Could it get any worse than that? That could be the new normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people (not you in particular, bickster) are generally underestimating the consequences of HMG’s actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1dch Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 That's one biiiig lorry park. Feel a bit sorry for the 41% of Ashford that didn't ask for it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks expensive, so the area is already getting large investment as a result of Brexit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enda Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 The British negotiating team got an early train home today, with the European Council noting that sides are too far apart for agreement. Barnier told by his bosses he is allowed to continue negotiations but that it's up to the UK "to make the necessary moves to make an agreement possible." David Frost "disappointed" the EU has changed course. Unless Boris breaks his self-imposed deadline, and sends Frost back with weaker terms, we're in trouble.

Xann Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 The Kent Tourist board need to get the markers out. Visit Kent, the ̶G̶a̶r̶d̶e̶n̶ Car Park of England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Quote The undersigned request that the new brexit lorry park in kent be named after Nigel Farage, without his years of selfish grift, dissembling and misapplied zeal on the behalf of the more gullible voters of Kent this project just would not be happening. It is fitting that every lorry driver, every commuter and every local resident has a chance to link this fine example of civil engineering to its true hero. It maybe the Mr Farage will be unable or unwilling to attend the unveiling of this great honour that we do him but that shouldn’t get in the way of seeing his name and huge gurn plastered all over the boundary fence at regular intervals topped by a coil of razor wire no doubt festooned with the shreds of black farmers plastic known as witches knickers. For the foreseeable future everyone should genuinely be able to refer to this diesel soaked valhalla as Nigel’s Folly. https://www.change.org/p/kent-county-council-kent-lorry-park-to-be-named-after-nigel-farage 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) The country could be absolutely ruined by this one man. Absolute piece of turd. JLR who have around 250,000 jobs in the UK linked to them have said no deal will cost them an extra £1b a year in tariffs. That can’t be sustainable.

Davkaus Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 What seems to be baffling our lot is that the EU have thought something through, declared a position, and consistently stuck to it throughout. You can understand Johnson and his cabinet's confusion, surely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even about getting what they wanted, after all, this was all "project fear" and absolutely not what people were told they were voting for. It's about having invested themselves into "Brexiteer" being a significant part of their personality, and sticking it to those remoaning lefty snowflake cucks. They won. It's a prize not worth winning, but they won, and that seems to be all that matters. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
