The Post-Brexit Thread

[S. aureus]

Can't they just use the fish to feed schoolchildren?

[Duncan Gardner]

Snake Plissken Lang Spoon I doubt the DUP hacks in SW1 are that different from those in BT4- how the jobs are divvied up depends on Buggins' Turn, family circs and other factors

Arlene Foster will be remembered/ judged as the unionist leader who lost Tesco and Sainsbury rather than a couple of inner city seats.To be fair to her, not the sort of problem glorified county councillors normally have to face

Unionism has actually been quite comfortable for decades as a place apart- not least as the SW1 parties couldn't be arsed to challenge them. So the Ulster British as Uxbridge stuff is clearly Baloney. Empty shelves and bankrupt businesses are the immediate problems for Foster, all as we enter a second Plague Year.

As others say above we all told them that for all the bluster Johnson would accept the Sea Border, but they're hardly alone in believing his nonsense

Brexit: Five surprising consequences - BBC News

More accurately, five surprising consequences which aren't actually a surprise.

[ad hoc]

How are the various Eastern European shops around the UK (Polish especially, but also Romanian etc) surviving? How are they bringing products in?

[Alderman Barnes]

Bad faith implies they know what the EU actually is and how it functions. There is very little evidence of that being the case.

Those responsible for setting this disaster in motion know exactly what the EU is and how it functions. The more red tape, the more confusion, the more uncertainty and the less transparency as to where money is flowing, the better it is for them.

The same probably does not apply to all the elected members who are now putting it into practice.

You're assuming that part of this isn't the point.

(I know you aren't, but, y'know.)

This nasty, shitty island gets nastier and shittier by the day. All those new Tory voters are going to find out exactly what voting Tory means.

More importantly, will the Lexiteers admit to buyer's remorse?

[Lang Spoon]

Like that wanker Larry Elliot in the Guardian? Prob not, it's just that Brexit is being done wrong, or something. And some righteous indignation about Greece.

More importantly, will the Lexiteers admit to buyer's remorse?

We have / had one on here.

The fish might be happy, but the Scottish Fishermans Federation certainly are not.

"Each country's immigration rules"? The idea of EU countries making independent ('soveriegn' if you will) decisions will come as a huge shock to those who believed the stranglehold of EU membership denied the UK any such autonomy.

To clarify, EU countries, which used to include the UK, could not make their own rules about the migration of people from other EU countries, but they can make rules about anyone from outside the EU?

[Snake Plissken]

Yes.

That's weird...

[Diable Rouge]

Yes.

And not only that, but they could make rules about nationals from other EU members claiming social welfare for longer than six months.

[Lang Spoon]

They are like the New York Five Families but of Whitefish. They are scum, Tory donor scum running the big fishing vessels as a cartel with workers of not quite legal or illegal status kept in conditions of near slavery, who turned a lot of fool heads up in the NE in 2016 (Moray came closest of all council areas in Scotland to voting Brexit). I have no idea what the stupid fucks thought they were trying to accomplish backing Brexit. Spain France and Italy want most of the cod you dumb fucks, there aren't enough English "chippers" battering that overrated no match for haddock fish for ye to break even without selling to the EU.

Yes, but the racists tend to be ignorant of facts like that. People of Asian heritage were told they'd have to "go back home" after Brexit by emboldened twats.

Does that mean it's become more part of Spain and less part of the UK?
