Genie Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Have number 10 already drafted up the “EU are being unreasonable” press release do we think? Maybe if you look really hard there might be some faint text saying well done Boris for saving the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmygreaves Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 So.... What's actually going to happen to the man in the street? Prices in the shops will go up and there'll be less choice... Loads of businesses closing and thousands on the dole? Is that the kinda thing we should be looking forward to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(1) Yes (2) Yes (3) Depends how you are defining "loads". (4) Yes, but then there are anyway. Thousands more? Still yes. Millions more? Probably not.

ml1dch Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 To every problem, a solution. Chaos at ports and on the roads? Change the rules to make lorry drivers work longer, more tiring hours. Clearly nothing bad can come from this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1dch Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Obviously I'm very anti- the whole sorry affair, but something along the lines of "Keep distance? That's exactly what we're trying to do here, matey" is clearly the only sensible response in this situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) I'd completely missed that Boris has taken personal charge of the Brexit negotiations. He bloody loves a good taking charge. So what's he been doing for the last 18 months? Oh, it turns out he'd already done this a few times. Didn't seem to do much good. Still, bloody hard to justify a foreign holiday these days isn't it?

The tories assured us there would be no reduction in working conditions. The lying thieving tories wouldn’t lie to us would they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 My days. Lol. Like walking up to a beautiful woman in a nightclub, asking her for a dance, and then shouting "YOU'VE WASTED MY TIME, YOU STUPID LESBIAN" when she rejects you. Actually I think this analogy sums up almost all Brexiteer strategies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their average speed per 9 hours might only be 4 mph next year so there is that angle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) The U.K. will be a ‘third country’ after the first of January so will fall foul of the current restrictions banning non EU citizens from travelling to the EU during the pandemic. Hopefully there were not too many planning a ski trip this year. Quote British holidaymakers will be barred from the European Union from 1 January under current Covid-19 safety restrictions, with the EU commission indicating there will be no exemption for the UK. https://www.google.se/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/politics/2020/dec/09/uk-holidaymakers-could-be-barred-from-visiting-eu-under-covid-safety-rules Edited December 10, 2020 by LondonLax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) It’s mind boggling. Every **** day the same “big gaps”... then “more negotiations”. What’s the point? Just ask each other final offer time, then we walk away. Edited December 10, 2020 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re probably asking for the best of being in the EU without being a member which will never happen. Even if by some miracle the EU agreed it, everyone else would leave, the EU would collapse and we’d be back to where we started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
