Re: Brexit part 5:Bye England! See you soon Scotland ?

But I rather consider last night to have been an embarrassment, and a cursory glance at the Continental Press reveals that they think so too. At the heart of this all is Parliamentary Government vs. Government by Parliament. For the first time in a long time, the United Kingdom has had a taste of t...

Re: Brexit part 5:Bye England! See you soon Scotland ?

Or the new PM tries to get a hard Brexit whilst Parliament doesn't want it. It will be too late by then. May will only quit on 22nd May if the negotiated WA is agreed by Parliament (probably on Friday). It's still far from clear how the Government will be able to bring in the vote on Friday and eve...

Re: Brexit part 5:Bye England! See you soon Scotland ?

all this could have been averted if not for her remain bias to the CU/SM Speaking as a remainer myself I find this very hard to Follow. May was never a staunch European, and her record in the home office is hardly a positive one. Since becoming Prime Minister she has ironically taken advice from th...

Re: Brexit part 5:Bye England! See you soon Scotland ?

I think it's hilarious that all of their self-aggrandizing efforts to take control, fueled by nothing but their own hubris, have come to naught. It is a two stage process to attempt to whittle down the more popular options, and may involve some form of ranking vote next week. That may help give a b...

Imagine the uproar if the citizens of Gibraltar or the Falklands were told "we don't care what you think, you're being abandoned or given away!" Speaking of Gibraltar, what's exactly their status at the moment? AFAIK they had an agreement with Spain, but wasn't that tied to the WA? Thus, ...

You still haven't shown me in the GFA document when leaving the CU breaks the GFA I can't help feeling you're being somewhat disingenuous on this. As you pointed out, the GFA is not about trade and customs. It's a political instrument designed to bring peace and stability to the island of Ireland. ...

Re: Brexit part 5:Bye England! See you soon Scotland ?

my vote for Brexit was not based on a desire to close Britain off to the world why you insist on bleating about it from New Zealand. no comment. There's no contradiction here. New Zealand is unaffected by Brexit, so I don't understand the hysteria. if you cannot see your own prejudices, contradicti...

Re: Brexit part 5:Bye England! See you soon Scotland ?

The question is if Brittain will have members of the new European Parliament or not. You could extend it till the new parliament is formed, but any extension after that will mean that Brittain will need to hold elections and can't see that as a positive scenario unless article 50 is revoked. So if ...

Re: VS new destination

Yeah that should be easy, find a route on which BA operates a B744 or a B77W out of Heathrow and which Virgin wants to raid. For two years, then they'll drop it. Does this outfit not have a shred of original thought? I'm confused, whilst it may or may not work for VS (who knows?) are you suggesting...

I must say I'm confused as to why the usual British shitpapers are piling on Bercow. They don't want the deal, and he made it more difficult for the deal to be passed, shouldn't they be happy ? Its ironic that its the same newspapers who ridiculed Gina Miller and the British judiciary in the first ...

Re: Brexit part 5:Bye England! See you soon Scotland ?

Wouldn't revocation of article 50 also need approval from her cabinet members? If so, will there be a majority in favor for such a move? In any case I doubt she'll get a vote on revoking article 50 through Parliament if she needs that. As such I think the odds for a no-deal Brexit are still the hig...

Until the UK parliament can decide how they want to resolve the Irish question then Brexit is all but DOA.
