Brexit Is Going Well

[Hymie]

It looks like we are going to war with our European neighbours.

just to grab our attention i feel...

Whatever Boris does to deliver on Brexit, someone isn't going to be happy. Whether that's the French, the Remoaners or the hopeless opposition, I wish them well.

[emmie]

me too.

The same people who are now throwing their hands up in shock, horror, and panic, about 4 extra little boats being deployed to patrol our waters, were mocking our ability to do such a thing a few weeks ago. Make your minds up, are we a hopeless lost cause, and an ineffectual backwater or a massive global naval force for destruction? Bless.

Meanwhile as Britain faces hostility and criticism for trying to protect and preserve it's territorial waters and to sensibly and ecologically manage the Nations natural resources, there is a sudden influx of supertrawlers off the English coast is killing dolphins and causing an unprecedented level of unsustainable fishing, say marine campaigners. Ten factory ships have arrived in the English Channel in the past three weeks, Marine wildlife monitors say the vessels are destroying fish stocks, killing non-target species, harming sustainable fishing communities and destroying marine ecosystems. The sooner we run this gangster mob out of town the better.

ZM: "Isn’t it strange (some may even say ironic) that to regain sovereignty we had to exercise our parliamentary sovereignty, thereby proving we still had it all along! " - funny I thought we invoked A50, and EUSSR device.

Johnson says a no deal outcome would be great for the UK.
He doesn’t believe it. If he did, that would at least be something and in a way defensible

[emmie]

only time is going to tell on that one ick.

[tamborine]

Merkel wants us to crawl over broken glass. Cheeky cow!

Macron seems to be leading the charge

[douglas9401]

She may have fond memories of kristallnacht, a return to the old ways.

[tamborine]

Macron would lead as EU are limited to fish Franch 6mile stretch - hahahaha

[Jackdaw33]

I only hope that Boris has the backbone to stand firm and not waver. If he falters and gives ground his reputation will be in tatters.

[emmie]

its in tatters for some on here and in the UK, they don't like him nor want him to succeed.

[ichkeria]

All this war talk I’m afraid really is only coming from one side.
It’s embarrassing and thoroughly silly. As is the claim that the EU wants to impose their laws on us. That requirement was dropped.

[Khandro]

I have no time for Merkel but she didn't say that; typical Sun reporting, it says "A SOURCE said German Chancellor Angela Merkel was "determined to make Britain crawl across broken glass" rather than reach any compromise."

A 'source' could be anybody , even me!

[emmie]

the war talk is nonsense as is the poster who put the header

[Khandro]

//That requirement was dropped.//

When was that?

[ichkeria]

It was withdrawn shortly after it was proposed.
What they want is the ability to impose trade tarifs if we change our standards

[Khandro]

ichi you said, //As is the claim that the EU wants to impose their laws on us. That requirement was dropped.//

I assume you are excluding the ECHR rulings then
