I don't know why people are so upset by the prospect of some right wing nuts losing the plot and turning violent. The UK Govt is perfectly capable of shooting unarmed people in the street, and locking people up without trial, and conspiring with criminals to murder their political opponents. You'll be fine. As long as they remember to murder and imprison the right people.Comment

The idea of not fucking up the country for 50 years angers you? You know what angers me? Idiots fucking up my son's future because they don't like foreigners.I mean, the idea of 'calling the whole thing off' angers even me
In 3 years anyone who still remembered it would be too embarrassed to admit it. And the idea that we shouldn't act in the best interests of the country in case some racist gets narky - well I thought we didn't pander to terrorists?Comment

If the UK wants to honour the referendum, move on from Brexit and not be idiotic about it then it should join the EFTA and remain in the EEA. Anything else isn’t going to end the conversation - rejoining the EU will be the biggest political topic in the country until we rejoin the EU. Which will be tied to the hardness of Brexit, the harder the Brexit the sooner we’ll rejoin. Leavers will become harder to find and not just because a sizeable portion will be dead. Demographics make that pretty likely to happen.
I find it truly remarkable the game both parties are playing. The Tories will bleed votes due to this disaster and Corbyn is alienating his own membership and specifically his biggest backers. If the Labour right had the political nous God gave a squirrel, they would make much more hay with this. Instead they seem mainly trapped in a self-congratulatory bleating if I told you so. But a soft left candidate who doesn’t deviate too far from domestic Corbynism but is explicitly pro-EU could make real inroads.Comment

At this point to midnight I can't believe Labour are still anti SM on triangulating grounds, that The Irish Question is so carelessly dealt with. It's really worrying.Comment

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they are basically thinking “Yeah, cool, we hope there’s a border poll. Tiocfaidh ár lá.”Originally posted by Lang Spoon View PostComment

There's nothing noble about voting to make the world how you want it, if how you want it is more racist and insular.Comment

So the evidence this customs arrangement might happen is a German think tank have proposed it? It might, but why should the EU concede that?
Anyway, we're still left with "strong single market relationship".Comment

Turkey being a member of EUCU and having multiple independent FTAs is an example of this isn't it?Originally posted by Tubby Isaacs View PostComment

I meant having a vote on the EU trade deals. Turkey doesn't get that.Originally posted by Kevin S View PostComment

Ah right. If I'm reading the proposal correctly, this one suggests that the UK would not pursue its own FTAs, so I guess that's the trade-off: Turkey gets no vote but can have its own FTAs. UK can have a vote if it doesn't have its own FTAs?Comment

There's a logic to that, but has that offer ever been made to anyone else?Comment
