      Actually the Guardian is just now reporting that the draft deal has just been finalised. It means Gibraltar can join Schengen (if they choose to I guess and they presumably will)

        So because of Brexit, Gibraltar will be a British Overseas Territory where it’s easier to enter if you’re Spanish (or German/Dutch/French/etc) than British.

            Clever summary on Radio 5 just now: "it's taken us four and a half years to get a last minute deal".

              Commiserations to ad hoc, treibeis, Stumpy Pepys and all the other OTF Britons in Europe tonight - granted, the 31st of January was probably the moment of greatest personal effect for all of you, but 11 o'clock will still be a point of finality, given that before the referendum you never had to give a second thought to any questions of identity.

                Pretty sure all of those people have done the eminently sensible thing and taken German citizenship.

                EDIT: <ahem> I didn't read the list properly. So, yeah. Stumpy, treibeis and Alderman Barnes have all done the sensible thing.

                  Cheers, but it's all the poor bastards still stuck on the island that I'm sorry for.

                      I've liked both those posts, despite not really liking either of them.

                        Centre left parties around they world are having a competition to see who can be the absolute dumbest, and UK Labour have just thrown down the gauntlet.
                        Yes, the Australian Labor Party is doing the exact same thing. Pisses off long-term supporters, driving them to minor parties or independents and does nothing in terms of picking up voters who have voted for the Liberals or Nationals (conservatives) in the past. Madness

                            Are we having a community countdown in the run up to 11:00?

                              Perhaps it's best that Covid is here this year. New Years Eve is punchy enough in normal times without adding Brexit to it.

                                And so it begins.

                                      How long before we start to hear the stories of buyers regret?

                                      There are going to be many tales of people finding out that Brexit is going to affect their lives in ways they never thought.

                                          So we're 46 minutes and 83 seconds into OUR FREEDOM and THEY still won't deliver pizzas to MY house, and it seems the supermarkets won't open until tomorrow morning.

                                              I have the feeling that, to get the best out of Brexit, I should keep up this precise level of pissed.

                                                  It's been 15 hours 34 minutes and 78 seconds since OUR FREEDOM has been WON from THEM and our sunlit uplands are at present shrouded by cloud and flecked by the remnants of yesterday's ice/snow,

                                                  And still THEY refuse to deliver pizza to MY house despite MY desire to prosper mightily as an
