Brexit talks

Is he hoping to be our next President!

The super long distance SAS sniper team should use this dude for target practice...

My favourite hate couple



Though they live separate lives it seems now they both have money!

When he stopped being Prime Minister, they appear to have lost that instinctive feel for each other that had made them such a formidable and mutually supporting couple. These days, their business empires are entirely separate. They do not work together and are seldom seen together.

More seriously on topic the Mail has this story of France planning to wreck our economy even if they don't benefit themselves.

The clear messages emanating from Paris are not just the musings of a rogue senior official in the French government or central bank. France could not be clearer about their intentions. They see Britain and the City of London as adversaries, not partners.’ The memo suggests that other EU nations who wanted good relations with the UK over Brexit were alarmed by France’s hostile conduct but were powerless – or unwilling – to stop them.

You have to worry if the Frogs intend to wreck our economy, they know what they're doing, they've made a pretty good job of wrecking their own.

Barclays reported to be relocating to Dublin, Easyjet off to Austria, the City of London banking institution under siege. Don't you just love the Tories?

Assuming these stories are true, and 99% of Project Fear has turned out to be utter drivel so far, why are you blaming the Tories BT,
I must have pointed this out a dozen times on this board already, the Tories campaigned to Remain in the EU. To remain in the EU was official Tory policy, Cameron and Osborne were for Remain, they lied through their teeth about the consequences of a Leave vote throughout the campaign, May was for Remain, so was Hammond, so were the majority of the Cabinet, so were and still are, the vast majority of Tory MPs. Just like the vast majority of the Labour Party they don't like Brexit and didn't want it.

Unlike JC, a man who detests the EU, but had to keep his head down and mouth shut for the duration in the interests of party unity. Sound on the EU is Jeremy, as all decent, sensible lefties should be. Benn, Scargill, Bob Crow, Corbyn, people who cared for the working class of this country could see the EU scam for what it truly is. It's a pity you can't BT, but just go along with the herd.

Ask yourself this BT, why did the Tories want us to remain in the EU ? And I've a question for you, why are you on their side on this ?

I'm trying to avoid politics on here now sinkov and "do a Primitive" and concentrate on footy instead!

I blame the Tories for their half arsed posturing and prevarication on Brexit. 12 months in and we are still no nearer to a definable exit strategy.

Corbyn is just circling around like a hungry vulture just waiting for the life to expire and then he will be in to clean up the carnage.

My only problem with that scenario is the remaining Blairites in the upper echelon of the PLP will not support Corbyn and we will be back to square one.

Whichever political persuasion you have it is pretty clear to everyone by now the elite political class in this country have put us all in one hell of a sinkhole!

...and for the umpteenth time I voted to LEAVE, Theresa May wanted to REMAIN and I wonder whether the prevarication is just some sort of manoeuvring tactic to delay or even entirely kill off a democratic vote to LEAVE?

I would not put that past her!

Nothing wrong with British companies setting up overseas HQ, in fact it's good practice, so long as the profits come back here.
Will easyJet be allowed to fly to Britain though?

Sinkov
But the French planned to have Strong economy so maybe their cunning plan might rebound. Just now Macron is basking in his role and not doing much but talking - let's see how he gets on in six months time. Of course one way to improve your rating score is to pick an enemy and evoke the National spirit - right now we are it.

I suggest we all just chill. Whatever happens eventually will happen and they certainly won't be asking us our opinion because we have already had our say and voted accordingly.
They were never prepared for a 'leave' vote, therefore, nothing had been thought through and it has taken until now just to start any sort of negotiation. This is the political way these days as was proved with the illegal invasion of Iraq followed by the lack of thought on what would be happening afterwards. It used to be called 'crisis management' but I don't think that it can be labelled that any more because, no matter what political persuasion you are, there is simply no management, therefore, we can be certain that it definitely is 'crisis' -- and will remain so.

If you think there is some sort of plan by May to thwart Brexit, then I think you credit her with a degree of cunning/intelligence she simply doesn't possess. There is no prevarication on our part, the timetable has been set by the EU, and we don't have a choice but to proceed in the order and the pace they dictate. Our exit strategy was set out clearly months ago, you may not agree with the aims, and it depends on a vindictive EU just how close we get to achieving those aims, but how many times do May have to say, out of the Single Market, out of the Customs Union and a tariff free trade deal, before people like your good self accept that we know, and have stated clearly, what our aims are ?
