I believe the cordon sanitaire you are describing is more usually known as a "safe space", and the activity you are engaged in as "no platforming". Such things are usually deprecated on PB.RoyalBlue said:Ladies and gentlemen - can I suggest a cordon sanitaire around Mr Meeks?
This thread abundantly shows that he is experiencing Brexit as some kind of terrible personal cataclysm. There is no other reasonable explanation for the sheer volume and intensity of the bile and hatred he spews, not just at 17.4 million of his compatriots, but at well-intentioned people on PB who have spent hours trying to engage with him. All he offers in return is poison.
There is nothing to be gained by engaging with him.
Right. BED.

By agreeing that people can come to the UK if they have a job offer. Or a system whereby people somehow qualify for a permit without having to apply for one. This is FOM.RobD said:

A permit system, where permits have to be granted, are limited in number and not obtained automatically, would not be FOM.
I think there is every chance that May will end up conceding a system which is really FOM but made to look a bit different.0 -

This totally depends on what has been agreed. If, as politico reported, the referrals to the ECJ are voluntary and the UKSC only has to have 'due regard' to their decision (rather than it being binding) then May will probably get away with it. Voluntary referral and regard can be played as maintenance of UK sovereignty and the sunset clause will help her sell it.RoyalBlue said:

It's a long sentence, but not for life
If there is any indication that ECJ decisions are binding, she will get in serious trouble as this is clearly not compatible with her promise on sovereignty - in this case 10 years would be seen as way too long.
What will be interesting is, if the former is the agreement, how the European Parliament will cope.0 -

There is UK blood in the water and the sharks closing. What could possibly go wrong on trade talks?
IF ECJ judgements are not binding, then the EU and the EU Parliament backed down. I personally think that we should have refused any involvement, but it would be wrong to claim this as a win for the EU.
On money, the EU wanted a lump sum settlement and the reports are that they have not received this. IF there is a clear expression that the money is tied to a trade deal, the UK have not won nothing. Again, I would have paid nothing.
On NI, if the agreement is on regulatory equivalence the UK has conceded nothing of value - this is a requirement for CETA. Regulatory alignment is completely different and would indeed by a abject surrender.
Overall I prefer no deal because I don't think the EU can offer us anything useful in trade talks and that by going down this path we will run out of time and get stuck with a terrible outcome. But it is not NECESSARILY true that the UK have achieved nothing in Stage 1 - it is very dependent on the detailed text.0 -

Surely better for them to just abandon the 3pm Saturday nonsense and just show the games on TV that people are watching online anyway. Or watching live on TV in loads of other countries. Saturday night matches could be an interesting experiment though, no doubt the cause of many household arguments!TheScreamingEagles said:For the first time, entire rounds of Premier League matches will be shown live under the next UK broadcast deal, Telegraph Sport can reveal.
The games will be broadcast in midweek and on Bank Holidays. Saturday night matches will also be up for grabs, pitching live football against the likes of Strictly Come Dancing and The X Factor in the battle for a share of the massive and lucrative weekend audience.
The world’s richest league on Thursday night issued the tender document for the television rights to its fixtures for the 2019-22 seasons, a copy of which has been seen by Telegraph Sport.
It can be revealed that the league will make 200 of its 380 matches a year available, 42 more than at present, with three rounds of midweek and one of Bank Holiday games accounting for all but two of the additional fixtures.
The 2019 season will also herald the advent of regular Saturday night Premier League football, with eight matches per season on offer under a three-year contract in which clubs are targeting an increase in the eye-watering £5.14 billion they secured from Sky Sports and BT Sport for the existing rights.

Citation required.surbiton said:The mood is decisively moving towards NO BREXIT. Thanks, Theresa !
On the other hand, those who know what they're talking about, say:
One strand of comment that has been common amongst those who oppose Britain’s withdrawal from the EU is that when the alleged difficulties and consequences of Brexit become clear to voters they will come to regret the decision to Leave – or at least will wish to sue for a soft Brexit. The experience of the last six months suggests this logic may be faulty......
Rather than coming to the conclusion that the progress of the Brexit process so far means they came to the wrong decision about the EU, it seems that Leave voters are inclined to the view that those responsible for the process – including the EU as well as the UK government – are (from their perspective) failing to make progress towards the kind of future arrangement that they would largely still like to see. In short, they blame the actors in the Brexit process not the act of leaving itself. If the talks about Brexit continue to be difficult and if the economy does indeed begin to suffer, we should not presume that voters in Britain will change their minds about the merits of Brexit. Rather they may simply blame politicians - on both sides of the channel – for their apparent failure to deliver what those who voted for Leave have all along said they want.

Those weren't the red lines though, were they.foxinsoxuk said:
The red lines on payment (go whistle!), ECJ and now the Irish border have all gone the EU27 way. What is the next capitulation?
Tough negotiators in the EU and unlike our clowns they have done their homework. Any trade deal will be by supremely informed and disciplined EU vs shambolic lazy mendacious UK negotiators. Its like the secondary school third XI vs Manchester United.
Boris may have made a responded to Peter Bone's suggestion that the EU should "go whistle" (I forget the exact quote, but he said something like 'if some of the numbers that are being quoted in the press are right, then I think they could be deemed exorbitant and, if so, then the honourable member's terminology might be appropriate') but that was never the negotiating position. It was always "we will meet our liabilities in full and are willing to make a contribution in return for a trade deal"
We may have achieved this (depends on the detail)
ECJ - this is the biggest issue, but the red line is removing the ECJ's overarching role over all UK law. This has been achieved. I don't like any ECJ involvement (I generally have a thing about extraterritoriality) but if it is - as reported - by reference only and for a time limited period then I can live with it.
On the Irish border - equivalence would be a fantastic win for the UK. Regulatory alignment in certain sectors based on decisions by Stormont is fine. A commitment to "no divergence" is not acceptable.
If you actually looked at the detail rather than relying on headlines you'd see that both sides have compromised - as you'd expect in any tough negotiation.

In other news....
One of the lasting images of election night this year was George Osborne in the ITV studios. As the exit poll was announced, his face first turned to shock and then to undisguised pleasure as he pronounced Theresa May a “dead woman walking”. The longer the night went on, the more jubilant he became. By the time the last few results came in, the former chancellor and now editor of the Evening Standard – among half a dozen other well-paid jobs – was all but standing on the table in the studio shouting “loser, loser” at the prime minister’s tear-stained face on the TV monitor.
The smile has barely left his face since. George is a man hell-bent on squeezing every bit of enjoyment out of his revenge. Scarcely a day goes by in the pages of his newspaper without him putting the boot into the woman who sacked him.
