I wouldn't overegg the coming of the European army - still plenty of opposition to the idea from the Baltic states and Poland eager not to undermine NATO and Austria, Ireland and Malta cautious over their neutrality "Multi-speed" Europe might mean bilateral agreements but there's going to be opt outs

Corbyn is going in pretty hard today, a little clumsy and overlong, but it's nice to hear him sounding actually pissed off.

I for one am shocked that a pro-Brexit PM being lionised throughout the pro-Brexit media has resulted in success in opinion polls.

did anybody save that quote somebody put in an old iteration of the UKMT that was a very tongue in cheek rendition of what life would be like post brexit? I can't remember the specifics but it had bits about good old fashioned light bulbs and playing cricket on the village green with 'a black fellow, but one of the good ones'.

Jose posted:Shes doing what makes her popular which at the minute appears to be the hardest brexit possible. Lets hope the reality might set in a bit now article 50 has been invoked but lol i'm not holding out hope Which makes me think with the poll where 13% think Corbyn would be best for PM and it's more about media image and party unity, not sure he would be any worse at the job than May. They don't have any answers other than austerity and a hard brexit to Britain's issues, we're on track to lose Scotland and May only has party unity because she completely gives in to the demands of the hardliners. Now party unity is a big deal so god knows what the situation would be like with the infighting but it still seems to me that May is very weak and her only strategy is to appease.

I could imagine the nuclear industry are currently consulting lawyers, as the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Act 2017 does not confer upon the Prime Minister the power to invoke Article 106a of the Euratom Treaty.

jBrereton posted:It is and it isn't, hope that helps. it's not. don't make me turn into pissflaps. using a more fuel efficient plane to fly the exact same route with same passengers doesn't result in a reduction to APD. using the same amount or more of fuel to fly half as many passengers the same route (assume they're fatties to make up the weight) does significantly reduce the APD paid. etc

Anybody here who is close to any kind of news/info outlet/an EU official, who can answer me a question? I have been hearing a lot of doom mongering about Brexit from all corners, especially from the EU, that the UK will become an economic hellscape nobody in their right mind would want anything to do with. Fair enough. We have made our choice now, we will no doubt get on with it and make the best of the situation. I have also been hearing, from all the euros that I work with and the national media, that there is a literal hoard of EU nationals that still want to come here despite us giving the EU the finger and about to regress into an apocalyptic pit of despair (or something, there is a lot of hyperbole about), and that the EU is threatening their worst (or even worsterer or whatever, since they were already threatening the worst if we left) if the UK won't let them in. What gives?

The UK and the EU won't collapse. There will be compromises from both sides. Things will be worse than they should have been for many people. There will be little benefit.

Basically, the British economy is dependent on access to the single market that the European Union will not be willing to give without concessions from the United Kingdom, especially on free movement. In particular, the European Council have explicitly said that Britain will not get "piecemeal" membership of Single Market that would keep the European financial industry in London. https://twitter.com/jolyonmaugham/status/847055498188935169 TinTower fucked around with this message at 13:43 on Mar 29, 2017 |
