We hold many more cards now because we have a strong government which really is prepared to go to No Deal, in the belief the economic pain can assuaged by patriotic fervor - and, more importantly, they have five years before the next election.Gallowgate said:
Are you seriously still clinging onto the “we hold all the cards” nonsense?Byronic said:

There will be a bare bones deal on goods. Just enough. It will be sellotape and glue. And the city will get temporary rights as the eu panics about access to liquidity
They expected us to blink and revote, Just like every other country. We didn’t. It’s a different game now, and over time a reasonable deal will be done.
Do you seriously think that the everyday person won’t notice any negatives between what we have now and a “bare bones trade deal on goods”?
In that respect, game theory says it really is the EU which is more likely to fold. Or at least come to a much more friendly compromise than before .

Interesting to see that some have decided to re-draw the definition to keep the negativity going.
The public have little interest of the technicalities of what happens after 31/1. We shall have left = referendum honoured.
I voted remain, and agree that failing to achieve a trade deal is possible and that this would be bad. But people were warned about this in various ways which were dismissed as "scare stories" and people voted to leave anyway.
As someone clever once said: democracy is the theory that people should be given what they want. And they must be given it good and hard.1 -

God, at least I wasn't wrong as the Leaver SeanT who offered a bet of £10,000 that the UK would have left the EU by the end of 2019.Byronic said:SERIOUS QUESTION FOR THE MODS
Why do we even allow these dribbling idiot Remainers like TSE and Topping and Gallowgate to stay on the site?
Remainers have been absolutely wrong about everything since about ten years before the referendum. They thought constantly ignoring the people on the EU would be a good idea because they could keep doing it. Then when they had to stop doing it they called a botched referendum, and they managed to lose an unloseable referendum because, again, they are idiots and morons. And arrogant to boot.
Then they got 99% of their predictions for economic armageddon wrong after Brexit. Then they said there should be a 2nd referendum, shamelessly trashing British democracy, which makes them scum as well as crass. Then they organised the world's worst experiment in tactical anti-Brexit voting which delivered the Brexiteering prime minister the biggest majority since Tamurlane the Great
Then they said Brexit could never actually happen just because because because, and they ended up beating a trapped fox to death with a fucking baseball bat while wearing their wife's undersized silk kimono.
Really. We have heard enough from the Remainers to last us several decades. Their brains are made of ten day old Tescos hummus and their moral sense cannot be spotted by the Hubble Telescope.

HMQ, more probably, Charles, has rightly retired Andrew from all royal duties, closed his office, cancelled his birthday party and cut him out of invitations to state/similar dinners at the Palace. Very sensible. But it is worth remembering that he has not been charged with anything and that a US court removed a claim against him in a civil action. He may be a moron but he too like the rest of us is innocent until proven guilty.1 -

Brexit hasn`t happened yet (quite) - so I`d reserve judgement on that. A better argument is to say that people decided to leave the EU whether or not there proved to be negative economic consequences.
It was, at root, an emotional and identity-driven decision by leavers (sovereignty, national identity), but what is less discussed is that the remainers (including those that you deride) feel as emotional about staying a member of the EU as do those that want to leave - that`s why they keep banging on about it and can`t let go of the negativity.
My remain vote was based on pragmatic pro-and-con reasoning and I don`t understand people who voted remain because they are attached to a governing body as some remainers clearly are (esp in my party, the libdems). It seems odd to me. But the fact is that many ARE emotionally attached to the EU and this needs to be respected.0 -

BTW those who think that no-one will care about Brexit after the end of the month should listen to the section in this morning’s Today programme about fishing - both the expectations of Britain’s fishing community and those of EU fishermen, who want nothing to change (ha!) - as well as Ursula van der Leyen who seems intent on using “sequencing” to make fishing the same key issue as NI was in the withdrawal talks.0

This was the weirdest part of the Brexit vote. And to be fair on the leave side too, like yourself I weighed it up and decided on balance (7 out of 10 perhaps) that we'd be better off remaining in.Stocky said:People who voted remain because they are attached to a governing body as some remainers clearly are
But massive numbers of people voted for either leave or remain because they IDENTIFIED as anti or pro EU on an emotional level. I didn't see the extent of that coming down the tracks and thought the arguments around HOW we left (And it seemed unconsciable that we wouldn't after the referendum) might get more traction than the likes of Steve Bray yelling STOOOOOOOOOOOP BREXIT every 30 seconds outside parliament would.2 -

Remainers have been absolutely wrong about everything since about ten years before the referendum. They thought constantly ignoring the people on the EU would be a good idea because they could keep doing it. Then when they had to stop doing it they called a botched referendum, and they managed to lose this unloseable referendum because, again, they are idiots and morons. And arrogant to boot.

I’m not ashamed to admit that I identify as pro-EU on an emotional level. All I see from their side is my values. All I see on the other side is arrogance and xenophobia. It’s natural.

Many of the new MPs in the red wall constituencies will get very restive if the fishermen are seen to be betrayed.1 -

Why do we even allow these dribbling idiot Remainers like TSE and Topping and Gallowgate to stay on the site?
Remainers have been absolutely wrong about everything since about ten years before the referendum. They thought constantly ignoring the people on the EU would be a good idea because they could keep doing it. Then when they had to stop doing it they called a botched referendum, and they managed to lose this unloseable referendum because, again, they are idiots and morons. And arrogant to boot.
Then they got 99% of their predictions for economic armageddon wrong after Brexit. Then they said there should be a 2nd referendum, shamelessly trashing British democracy, which makes them scum as well as crass. Then they organised the world's worst experiment in tactical anti-Brexit voting which delivered the Brexiteering prime minister the biggest majority since Tamurlane the Great
Then they said Brexit could never actually happen just because because because, and soon after that they ended up beating a trapped fox to death with a fucking baseball bat while wearing their wife's undersized silk kimono.
Really. We have heard enough from the Remainers to last us several decades. Their brains are made of ten day old Tescos hummus and their moral sense cannot be spotted by the Hubble Telescope.
Enough. Enough now. Let these droning fools be gone from this place.0 -
It's impossible to see how the fishing industry doesn't get completely shafted. They voted for their own shafting (which would happen whether or not there is any deal with the EU), apparently on the ludicrous basis that they want the EU to keep taking their fish whilst locking out EU fishermen from the British waters for which they've already paid for permits.Cyclefree said:It is of course tiny in terms of its economic contribution. But it seems to be totemic to many Brexiteers and many in the fishing industry are good at making their views known, plus some of the new Tory constituencies have fishing as one of their industries.
Whether Boris agrees to the EU’s demands on sequencing will be an early test of whether he will stand by this Brexit constituency or sell them out, much as he did with NI.

How do you fucking know he hasn't paid? Go and ask williamglenn. Ask the mods. Presumably if there has been some terrible WELCHING then we'd soon hear of it.viewcode said:
It doesn't work like that. @SeanT and @williamglenn made a bet. Both were adults with contractual competence. @SeanT lost and must pay up. I realise there are some wealthy people who have spent their lives being insulated from the effects of their bad decisions, but this is gambling and money is important. Arguing that the debt should not be paid is a bad thing. @SeanT must pay @williamglenn the money he owes him.Byronic said:
SeanT should have refused to pay in on the very honourable basis that he was right in principle, and we are leaving, and very soon, he was merely out by a month. Of course, I was merely lurking at the time, but AIUI williamglenn's firm position was that Brexit would NEVER HAPPENTheScreamingEagles said:

My understanding of SeanT was that he was, in essence, the very best of us, as moral as he was virile, and he would sooner have sex with someone actually over 30 than he would ever welch.
But knock yourself out and save us a debate and Go Ask.
