    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

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

    ... you're a tad off topic there Snobhead 2. There won't be another referendum. This is about the complete Capitulation Agreement carried out by appeasing civil servants and an appeasing PM who hav'nt the capability to negotiate - the Agreement is an EU dictate and TM rolled over. Hiding behind a vicar daughter persona disguises the back stabbing dictator that she really is. Away with the odious traitor..

    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.

    If you held a referendum in the countries you mentioned, how do you reckon they would vote now?

    Might be a clue as to how the UK should proceed now.

    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.

    Huh?

    Was it the “EU Bureaucrats” and the civil service who called and campaigned for a leave vote? I’m sure they’d prefer to be talking about something rather more constructive.

    And Have the likes of Davis, Fox, Johnson, and Raab been spending their own money for the last two years flying around the world to achieve absolutely nothing?

    Depends what you are voting on.
    All the above are in the black as far as EU payouts are concerned.Would you turn down a free meal.

    The point was democracy.
    Ireland Treaty of Lisbon rejected- Few paragraphs of re wording about abortion and neutrality to con them, sorted. (a vote we as a nation was denied)

    Denmark- Maastricht treaty . Rejected monetary union. Given a reprieve for now(watch this space) . The plan is to integrate all members into the EURO by 2025, look it up.

    Holland-Rejected the ever growing european constitution. The suck us together plan.

    FOR THE LAUGH -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd9rsmD4HiM

    So I'll ask you out right. Did you or your parents vote for a United Europe state in 1972 or a free trade market?
    Are you yearning to become a superstate drone?
