the minimum we will have is a customs union, but like i've said 50 times already, this only covers the 2 year transition period ..... people forget this so often

I do find that people seem to be under the impression that whatever is eventually decided (or forced) is going to be etched on stone tablets and locked away in a mystical vault somewhere . Whatever deals are struck (or not) at the point of Brexit (or Nexit ) are not necessarily - or even likely to be - permanent.

30th of June is the new date being requested by our illustrious leader

[Northern Monkey]

I want my scuzzy unfettered golden uplands

[Northern Monkey]

I think we need to leave


Or remain
But whatever we do.Do it soon

[Cherie]

So if its end of June, will UK be taking part in the election process...? just leave or say we are staying, I can't be doing with this any more

of course not, a change of government or party leader will change the whole dynamic again, but by the same token, this crashing out with no deal scenario probably wouldn't end up being that bad, business does and will find a way and new deals even if just temporary arrangement would be struck fairly quickly

It depends what you mean by "not that bad" I guess... I think it would trigger enough of an economic downturn to result in another 10 years of "austerity measures" and frankly I can't imagine what smaller towns would look like after that. They're already physically crumbling, unable to sustain basic public transport, etc.

From what I've read, the plan would be to "try our best" to be out by the end of May and therefore not take part - but that preparation would be made to hold elections if necessary.

it shows what a bad PM May is for UK


btw Bercow was at one of our tv shows for interview the other day

Youtube video

to translate it a bit for everyone on here, Ivo Niehe is a veteran tv host here, he travels to many places and interviews celebrities worldwide

''mr speaker'' we call Bercow, we find him funny how he pronounces some words ''Order'' but without the first R

lol, but that's how it sounds, Nicky. In English "r" is often silent.
Though Scots tend to pronounce their r's

[Twosugars]

Number 10 knows that a year-long extension is becoming inevitable. But, instead of accepting that, May has tabled an alternative offer that she must know is extremely likely to be rejected. That will be because she needs cover with Brexiter Tories; if she does end up having to agree to a long extension, she cannot be seen to agree to that without having put up a fight.

^ So playing games as usual. That's why people hate politics and politicians: they never talk and act straightforward.
All this bleeting of "running out of time" yet there's always time to play stupid games

Leavers could do with having a good read of this. I can't post the article because it's basically a twitter thread

[Nicky91]

anyways, something good in the EU our dutch PM Mark Rutte had visited Portugal 2 days ago, meeting with the portuguese president, talks about climate change, relations between Netherlands - Portugal


it was held now mostly also because of what Juncker said about ''strong united europe'' so this is a good initiative from Rutte to try keep our relationships with other european countries strong


he also visited sporting lisbon football team, where a dutch coach marcel keizer works as manager

[reece(:]

Not Mogg revealing we do have all the powers within the EU after ALL! So why leave again?

I dunno... the way Bercow shouts "order" is pretty funny even compared to other Englishes. "AWW Deeeeeeuuuuh"
