Breath Ray posted:I watched this this morning. Jeremy was so incredubky long winded. asked about his shoot to kill comments he went on and on about context, and how when he said it he was talking about the Irish policy in the 80s. Then he gave a 500 word response about Prevent without answering the very soft question! Must be between scriptwriters at the moment but I still think Milne has to go he must have some dirt on someone Jeremy is unable to express himself properly which is an odd thing for an experienced politician.

jBrereton posted:Work visas and free trade plus a continued contribution/take not far from what we paid with the rebate, minus CAP which will be handled internally. I would assume, and assume is the key word here, that reaction to that set up will be used as a sounding board for how maastricht is changed (because it probably will be) in future. free trade, you mean tariff free? we keep our financial passporting? what about customs controls? these are the things that the EU will not compromise on because that's what being an EU member is all about. also what about trade deals we have to renegotiate with other countries?

TACD posted:Except that any deal, no matter how terrible, is going to be better than falling back on WTO rules. So if Labour refuses to back it they'll instead be painted as 'throwing away two years of British deal–making' and 'guaranteeing us a poorer future'. We'll get exactly the Brexit deal the EU deigns to give us, and we'll be happy to have it too. unless labour have a sudden majority by then i doubt it matters

As Schäuble hinted a month or so back, a bloodbath between Amsterdam, Paris, Frankfurt and Rome about who gets to be The Post-Brexit EU Doing Trades Guys is not really in the interest of the EU. quote:also what about trade deals we have to renegotiate with other countries?

Also, to anyone who doesn't know: Asking poo poo like "no WhatsApp encryption" is entirely pointless from a safety perspective. There's literally no advantages, it doesn't do anything. You'd need 24/7 no-breaks video surveillance of people for it to do what they claim to want it to do.

Yeah, to be honest it is a bit creepy to be doing those photoshops. Also, hasn't JFairFax been probated multiple times for being a massive creep to flaps? It seems like it's the only thing he does if he's not complaining about the Pope.

I flew into the UK yesterday and the queue at passport control for EU citizens like me, a Briton, was really long, but the queue for Rest of World had barely anyone in it and those people got through really fast! Seems to me that leaving the EU and finally taking our rightful place in Rest of World will be a long awaited victory for British queuers.

Of course when you fly within Schengen there is no passport control at all.

Here is a long article by Dan Jarvis for discussion then: http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk/2017/03/reuniting-and-renewing-kingdom-britain-beyond-brexit It's a good piece I think, trouble is, the looming problems that he sets out in detail are so horrible that I'd prefer not to think about them, in the hope that perhaps they'll quietly go away. (they won't) Nice to hear him calling for heavier taxes on wealth, greater redistribution from the rich to the poor and a strong State being a prerequisite for stability and economic growth, though.

JFairfax posted:"In 2015, only 53% of school leavers in England achieved five good GCSE passes that included English and Maths." See for yourself. There's a caveat in that the Govt changed the rules on what counts as a 'good GCSE pass' between 2013 and 2014, so the numbers drop quite significantly between those two years.

kingturnip posted:See for yourself. Specifically the main thing was that only first entries are counted now, rather than a student's second or third attempt. Either way it doesn't swing it by more than a few percentage points. And this 5+ACEM threshold measure doesn't exist anymore, and most likely won't be published in the future. There's an entirely new way of measuring pupil attainment and progress now.
