EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

Sounds like some sort of deal's been done.

Spoilers - it'll be a shit deal.

Big picture deal or get lorries across for the first couple of weeks in Jan deal?

Big picture deal by noises on twitter.

Interesting - my money was on a sticking plaster effort that would be the transition extended in all but name.

Well yes, they’ve ignored 80% of our economy in favour of fish!

Damn. You mean I watched the whole season of this shitshow for you to spoil the ending for me now?

Might be a twist somewhere. I heard the producers were consulting M Night Shyamalan for the end of this season. They’d initially approached Jon Favreau but he’s busy with Star Wars, and George RR Martin’s script was a bit, much.

Isn’t it that they want our fish quite badly, (funny given we sold it to them) so we’ve tried to max that out as leverage. They’ll get the fish, we’ll get something else.

Bonus pollocks.

What am I going to do with all the fish?
That’s what the lorries were parked up for wasn’t it?....to go and get the fish.

BBC seemingly preparing to cancel all Christmas Eve TV schedules to provide coverage of ‘the deal’.
The end of this thread? 😂

The beginning of this thread.

It still have to go through Parliament and EU.

the end of the beginning

I am still not sure what has been won, aside from ending freedom of movement to show them pesky immigrants like me their place (I am aware the UK has been hostile to non EU immigrants/refugees for the past 15 years, they just wanted to finish the job) and good employment for lorry park constructors.

I mean, what IS the long term plan? India? That's not going to be so easy a market to get in. The EU tried and it didn't work.

I mean, what IS the long term plan?

There isn't one. It's about the freedom to make choices and adapt plans without deferring to others.

My personal view is that real freedom comes from a position of power. Something a strong EU we were part of, combined with NATO gave us a vastly disproportionate amount of.

This is the main reason leavers self identifying as patriotic erks me so much. They have fundamentally weakened the UK. Ultimately they may weaken it, and England further by breaking up the Union.

So if this is, finally, the famous oven-ready deal then it will be no surprise to discover that it is a massive turkey.

I am relieved there is some kind of deal, however shit it transpires to be. Interested to see how it gets sold as a win to both drooling Farage/ERG idiots and everyone else.
Sadly expect all it will do is open up even more anti-EU rhetoric and all the crap that happens will be blamed on a combination of covid and the EU's intransigence - nothing to do with the cunts who've fucked us and are lining their slimy crony pockets all the while. It's going to be unbearable.

It's not be defrosted properly, it's been under cooked and we'll all be shutting through the eye of a needle within 24 hours.

The only people that will be vaguely happy with the deal are the ones that were facing utter chaos at the prospect of No Deal, and that will soon wear off as we realise what we have actually got.

And we only get the sprouts! ;)
