Brexit deal

[tommy toes]

Government now putting aside £102m to help the flow of goods through Dover in the event of no deal.
This gets dafter by the minute.

Didn't put that on the side of a bus, did they?

Still there's a positive benefit for some tho. The more the economy crashes, the more businesses go bust and the more people that loose their jobs - the more money this billionaire Brexiteer hedge fund manager will make. Every cloud has a silver lining and all that...

[bobjimwilly]

Just think what that money could be spent on... it's sickening.

[BillyStubbsTears]

It gets worse.

What an utter clusterf**k.

[wilts rover]

Quite the opposite Billy, I think it sums up May's approach to Brexit perfectly.

A government with no clue has given a multi-million contract to run an emergency ferry service to a shipping company with no ships. What could possibly go wrong....

[Copps is Magic]

Up brexit creek without a boat.

What's the odds that Seaborne just happen to have made a hefty 'donation' to the Conservative Party?

[Donnywolf]

... HA yes - almost certainly made a donation or "worse" (if that is possible) will turn out to be owned by a load of Tory Mandarins.

Grinning Greasy Grayling* sneaked out the news late on Christmas Eve apparantly

This one smells - and the worst thing is they dont seem to care how much they "offend" the Electorate

* He ought to change his name as a sign of respect to one of the most majestic Fish swimming in the UK. Grayling are known as "The Lady of the Stream" but what epithet would you give the walking talking Grayling ?

The sale of Caviar has declined in Scotland for similar reasons.

They’re playing it safe, no ships mean no sinking 😂

''UK needs to get its act together before Brexit vote, Juncker says''

“I find it entirely unreasonable for parts of the British public to believe that it is for the EU alone to propose a solution for all future British problems,” Juncker said in a wide-ranging interview with the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag. “My appeal is this. Get your act together and then tell us what it is you want. Our proposed solutions have been on the table for months.”

Maybe the government needs another 2 years?

How DARE Juncker talk to us Brits like that?

It sounds like he's suggesting we don't know what we're doing BST, not sure where he'd get that from.

You're  quite right Billy he is a no body, has had a career in Politics in a country smaller than Sheffield The Twit had no right to speak for Germany, France Italy et al a total nobody.
Bit like Jarred O'Mara telling us what to do!

[BillyStubbsTears]

Beyond parody.

Or Arlene Foster telling May what to do.

[Sprotyrover]

At least Foster is British not some jumped up little quisling from no hope spots like Luxembourg,Estonia and Poland!

[RedJ]

But they don't "tell us what to do"... you do realise we also have representatives in the same bodies as these "quislings from no hope spots"?

[Sprotyrover]

You might not have noticed but the two big players Germany and France are both on their Arses closely folded by Italy,all the rest are little fish like Denmark, Austria,Montenegro!!!

"Oh Yes They will!" (Panto pun)

[Sprotyrover]

"Oh no they won't " thank god we will soon be rid of em!

[BillyStubbsTears]

Come on Sproty. Get it all out.

It's like vomiting after you've eaten something nasty. Very unpleasant to watch but you know the person has to do it if they're going to be able to start functioning like a human being again.

[RedJ]

When did Montenegro join the EU then?

Has there been a clearer case of corruption at the top level in recent history?
"Tory Donor gets awarded multi-million pound contract, which he will receive a % of even if Brexit doesn't happen, and his company has never even owned a ship!"

Quite simple that one Billy; he's p*ssed up half the time.

Yes, he had a career in a small country, but you seem to live in the past.

He HAS a career in politics in an organisation where he represents the governments of 27 countries. I think that trumps us if it just boils down to the size of where you represent.

So what are you saying here Sproty, that you're not allowed to be elected to high positions within Euro-organisations unless you were born in a large wealthy country, you could extrapolate this theory and suggest that you're not allowed to be elected to the British parliament unless you were born in a big city???
The argument is a red herring anyway as what Juncker is saying here is don't look to Europe to sort out the mess, get on with it, sort it out May-as if. Two years of running in reverse.
