No Brexit Extension

[wilts rover]

Harsh reality punctures Britain's Brexit balloon.

Britain is about to discover the hard way that whilst Leavers were sincere in their political beliefs about Brexit, their economic arguments were, and still are, a costly and damaging sham.

  Lot,s of unhappy bunnies in Ireland and Scandinavia even in Germany and now they have to sell topping up the the Italians, Greeks, and Spain's living standards by paying more taxes and chipping in a few billion here and there.
  Looks like the good times are over in Dublin, and the launch of the Italexit party tomorrow morning with the one platform to get out.
  It's a funny old world, the contributions we would have been landed with must go a long way to pay for Brexit already.

If you want me to read anything pull your finger out and give not just me but everybody else a link to it.

Oh, and I've never said the EU is perfect so you can shove the words you're putting into my mouth back into the orifice of your's from whence they sprang.

Any comment on the Russia report, or are you following your hero and just ignoring it

It's a funny old world, the contributions we would have been landed with must go a long way to pay for Brexit already.

In a field with some very stiff competition, that is undoubtedly the most divorced-from-reality comment I've heard from anyone in the Brexit Death Cult.

EU contributions saved so far: Approx £4bn

Lost output due to economic slowdown since the 2016 vote: Approx £200bn.

So, Selby, if your definition of "a long way" is "2%", lends us ten thousand quid and I'll go a long way towards paying you back over the next 5 years.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Update.

Actually, I was wrong of course. We haven't yet saved a penny because we are still paying our contribution.

Meanwhile, we've already spent the contribution that we'd get back in 2021, in preparations for a crash out that never came last year (including the money that Grayling gave to a shipping company with no ships) and the money we are currently spending building customs check points and lorry parks for when we choose to make it harder to trade with the richest bloc in world history on our doorstep.

Remind me what them advantages were...

Remember Dyson, in the lead up to the Brexit vote saying leave was the best thing for the UK and them moving his manufacturing to Singapore?  At the same time Lord Bamford, (Chairman of JCB), said exactly the same thing - and now look what he's done....

Brexiters, when will you wake up and admit you've been had?

[Donnywolf]

FFS - that's TOTALLY disgusting.

Persuade people to leave then jump ship to stay IN yourself

TOTALLY f*****g disgusting in fact

[wilts rover]

Aye, aye, I see the 'Islington Remainers' that Johnson crtisised at Wednesday's PMQ's have been out in force today:

'I love the EU Single Market' because being "paid up members of the single market" is what helped build our country "I can see no reason why any prime minister" in their right mind would ever take us out.

I'd much prefer to post good news about brexit but it's hard to come by.

''A report from the London School of Economics says Brexit will deliver a double shock to the economy – with worsening business conditions for those sectors that have survived the impact of coronavirus and lockdown measures – whether Boris Johnson secures a deal with the EU or not''

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/jul/28/brexit-will-deliver-double-shock-to-uk-economy-study-finds-coronavirus

[BillyStubbsTears]

I had to check if this was a typo.

https://mobile.twitter.com/tradegovuk/status/1287311852154900482

No. They really ARE trumpeting £250m of deals.

A bit of perspective. That's about the amount that the economy produces every 50 minutes. It is about 0.1% of the amount we have lost in poor economic performance since the Brexit vote.

Once again, they are insulting your intelligence.

[Not Now Kato]

I reckon I can see where this is going....

"The review will be chaired by Lord Edward Faulks QC, and will consider whether the right balance is being struck between the rights of citizens to challenge executive decisions and the need for effective and efficient government."

This, of course, was provoked by the Supreme Court ruling that Johnson had broken the law in disbanding Parliament last year.

So "the need for effective and efficient Govt" roughly translates as "the need for the PM to be able to break the law and lie to the Queen as and when he feels like it,without being stopped."

Man that votes for the Withdrawal Agreement, and then votes to rush it through Parliament avoiding proper scrutiny, now complains about the contents of the withdrawal agreement.

I give you Iain Duncan Smith, more or less admitting he did n’t know what he voted for, how incredibly stupid can he be?

It's amazing that people who maintained that all leave voters knew exactly what they were voting for now have reservations.

IDS is a disgusting example of the modern far Right. Always, ALWAYS whipping up bile by blaming someone. Never a solution. Always a complaint.
