Would you mind taking him with you, and abandoning him in Brussels ? Cheers Bruce.

May said no deal was better than a bad deal so she put it on the table, no truer words has she ever spoken, yet still she tries to force a bad deal on the country, shameful.

The two of you should definitely tell that to those involved in the industries that absolutely rely on smooth, frictionless movement of goods into and out of the U.K.

By the way, they’re the same industries that supply the 85% of all goods used by the NHS that come in from Europe on just in time supply chains.

Plenty of room on the Eurostar. Get him a glass of something and he will be out for the duration.

Yeah sorry mate I accept that but who on the leave campaign was saying a no deal was what was best during the campaign when people voted ? I know now everyone is saying it’s what was voted from but who was saying it ? Most were talking about staying in the single market , major leave figure talking about leaving that being madness .

At the time they will have never envisaged that the deal was going to be so bad that they had to talk about a no deal, now seeing the deal, most will prefer a no deal than accept the deal being offered.

I don't believe for a second that the day after a no deal brexit, the EU would not be making it a priority to make trade as frictionless as possible with us, new trade deals with us will be at the top of the agenda, I have no doubts about that whatsoever.

Again not having a go but then nobody ?

The EU sell more to us than we buy, it is in all parties interests here to make sure trade is quick and frictionless.

No-deal Brexit 'no problem', Nigel Farage says at Leave Means Leave rally

[Old Blue 2]

I often try to empathise with the Brexiters on here, but to begin a sentence with this:

and then to conclude it with this:

is a truly impressive lack of self-awareness.

Perhaps the surest sign of just how unserious the notion of Brexit has always been is that the people who fancy themselves to be the responsible Brexit types, the ones with the Big, Bold Ideas and Swashbuckling Vision - @Old Blue 2 et al - have never once stepped in to dissociate themselves from word-slurry like this, and to set the record straight.

I would like to set the record straight, as you put it, with regard to my being mentioned in your above post.

I was posting in this thread from the start. I was attacked so many times (like others who voted 'Leave') that I reached the point where I was not interested in getting involved any further in discussions in here.

I now look in on a regular basis, post the odd relevant/humorous vid, and await the end of March.

I have no comment to make regarding this assertion that you have laid at my door: "...Big, Bold Ideas and Swashbuckling Vision...".

I will now return to the serious work I have to complete.

Thank you.

“Wouldn't it be terrible if we were really like Norway and Switzerland? Really? They're rich. They're happy. They're self-governing”

Not exactly a consistent message then

No deal option will be removed if Yvette Cooper's withdrawal amendment gets passed next week. This will enable parliament to then extend article 50 and find a new way forward. I think she now only needs an additional six Tories to vote for it in order to get it passed.

Also throw in Dominic Grieves withdrawal amendment into the mix and no deal looks dead in the water.

Next Tuesday is gonna be an interesting day in HOC

Yes it very much is in both side’s interests. BUT WITH NO DEAL, IT STILL WON’T HAPPEN.

That’s why nobody sensible/honest wants no deal, and why not even the most fervent Brexiteers campaigned on the idea, because even if it was what they personally want (the likes of JRM whose family reckons they could make a fortune from it) they know it wouldn’t have garnered any support, due to its damage to the country.

They were also set up from their first interaction to run outside of the EU.

We’ve had half a century of our companies and industries building their infrastructure on the premise of being inside it.

The only Brussels he has going too has a stick on it with sprouts attached.........

That’s was a farage quote mate

Oh I know - I wasn’t criticising you, just providing a little extra context, because this “let’s be like Norway” thing gets thrown around like it’ll solve all problems
