    O/T:- Withdrawal Agreement - 'Peace in our time'

    ... ... just scanned the 585 pages. For starters, there is so much white space it could well be properly 400 pages; then there is duplication of paragraphs - one for the EU and one for UK - so that could shorten it to say, 250 pages (something Snobhead 2 could do). Sorry, but I couldn't get it down to one page a la Neville Chamberlain (who is clearly TMs hero).
    It's merely a regurgitation of EU rules and cross references; so, actually, it would almost certainly have been produced by some EU waller, cutting and pasting at a leisurely rate in order to spin out the delay time. It covers every aspect of life as we know it, including bananas from Central America; although I didn't spot toilet rolls ... but that probably comes under the paper products section 'Article XYZ'). It's a lawyers charter.
    The WA is life as we know it now/it's nothing new; so absolutely nothing to fear from telling the waste of time politicians - who have spun this out for self-glorification - simply to F off and let real business people get on with running their businesses. By the way, the Project Fear business mob can shut up too; they've had two years to make contingency plans for a no deal route and arguing about 'just in time' doesn't stack up ... good spin but they've probably been stock-piling anyway. The cross border technology we already have and to say we can't handle imports/exports is a lie, again put out by the spineless, self-serving remoaners. No deal would not be like jumping off a cliff; we just get on and agree new trade deals, as every other country does - WTA is merely a guideline and most countries do not trade at those rates.

    So the EU just wants the money then?
    I'm as surprised as I was when Will Young came 'out'.

    I'm sick to death of hearing about the "People's Vote", we've had the referendum for in/out any 'vote' now should be on May's Deal or No Deal

    It won't be will it?
    Can we please ditch this ''Peoples Vote' bollox - it's a Second Referendum.
    Add it to the list.

    It would be a choice of Remain or Chequers.
    May has said there won't be another vote. She's definitely not been on the phone to Camoron to ask the printers if they have any stock left over to print a leaflet costing nine million quid to reassure us that the Government will abide by the, er,......,.

    What we had was the Little Englanders' vote. Now people are better informed, it would be a true people's vote.

    Sorry Sydney, you sound just like an EU bureaucrat.
    Look, I know you have voted but you need to vote again(and again and again), until you realise what you've done.

    Just ask Ireland/Holland/Denmark.
    My way, or the highway.

    Only vote that needs to ever happen now, is do you want-
    A. Mays pathetic attempt at appeasement, (with back door ties leaving the EU in control)
    B. No deal, keep the money and bugger off

    Stage one was taken, 17.5 M said we want out.

    B, although as Blackhorse says, it doesn't change the fact that the Civil Service and the EU bureaucrats have had a field day for two years at the public's expense.

    A bit like the Scots next vote? Are they better informed 3 years on? Not really. They just didn't like the result of the first one so they will keep going until they get what they want. If you keep rolling the dice eventually you get a 6.

    61,936 votes in Swansea as they win the vote to leave the EU. Are they the Little Welsh , or honorary Little Englanders ?

    They do tend to be of smaller stature though .

    Don't forget every one who voted leave are old,white,uneducated racist bigots. All 17 million of them,and had no idea what they were voting for.
