i hope so! but boris might decide to stick with his deal

his deal is just a withdrawal agreement. the point of the transition period is to negotiate a new deal with the EU. Boris is intending to make any extension illegal

Boris is a moron but I don't think he is a complete loving idiot. If we crashed out without a deal after just paying the EU 40 odd billion to get a withdrawal deal his pay masters in the press and the banks would not be happy.

However, he is likely to do a deal that is the least possible amount of work for him, which basically means just signing whatever the EU puts in front of him without trying to get any concessions at all.

During this time he is likely to say anything to appease everyone at the same time, regardless of contradictions, nobody will bring him up on this and will act surprised when it turns out he is full to the brim with complete and utter horse poo poo.

boris' paymasters are the hedge fund managers who want no deal brexit to make billions

I thought slim jims were some kind of jerky? We don't really have that over here, chipolatas are small sausages like what you would have with a christmas dinner.

If you want to condemn a country for calling food the wrong thing, I recently learned that in America Mars Bars are called Milky Way. American Mars bars are some weird thing only they have. hosed up. All Americans who were talking about deep fried mars bars a couple pages ago please adjust your takes accordingly.

the really insane ones want to crash out with no deal so that the very first trade deal si the one that fucks us with the US. If we get a trade agreement with the EU it'll have us closely tied to them on things like standards which obviously pisses off all the insane right wingers

this focuses on boris' win mostly but its worth a read for americans because it covers in detail the tactics that were used and how far right parties and especially the trump campaign are using. Stuff like they track the phone of everyone who goes to a trump rally so they can get their facebook and netflix ID's

i get that but they won the culture war and know it and unlike with trump it was all about a specific event rather than a person. trump is the culture war especially because of the #resistance. remainers just got brutally and rightfully owned for not accepting they lost a close election and it should be a compromise

of course they have a poo poo load of dark money behind them and actually work together so can surely start something new next time. more likely he'll ignore all the spending promises, no deal next year things will get catastrophically bad and there is no need for a culture war because he just carved 20% of the electorate off from ever voting again

Those are already there or just aren't vote winners here. Our press has been transphobic for years but most people don't think about it as far as voting goes. We don't have a sizeable insane Christian population who believe the world is going to end for that culture war. Who loving knows really

You think there's a compromise soft brexit that would have been acceptable to brexiteers?

I don't give a gently caress about brexiteers. I'm talking about the average leave voter and person who saw brexit win and wanted it done with. It was may going around saying no deal is a bad deal + remain refusing to accept they lost that meant to was hard as gently caress brexit Vs remain and we saw how that turned out

People's vote hosed us but I guess killing labour was Roland Rudd's original goal
