OwlFancier posted:Sounds like an opportunity for anyone near the border to smuggle cheap fags and radioactive chutney between the two nations if you ask me. Said this before in this thread. There is already talk in Cork which is the farthest county from the border, down in the south west of Ireland, of getting an economic 'lift' smuggling poo poo to the north.

I think you'll find it'll be us smuggling yousuns cheap fags and dodgy meats once the Tories free us from all those pesky EU regulations

thanks everyone, I really don't know very much about Ireland just saw the debate on +1 and everyone seemed pretty confident there will be a deal within two weeks I'd assume that's mostly people thinking the UK is going to back down on one of its contradictory red lines as the "Ireland leaves the EU/customs union too" solution seems absurd? and it's presumably going to be the "no border" one they give up because brexit means brexit and the border only really matters to northern Ireland? 2 weeks still sounds a bit optimistic given how slowly negotiations in general seem to be going and the fact theres no obvious good solution and the Tories are stubborn and delusional and don't appear to be too bothered about actually doing any work towards making brexit not a total disaster

I was trying to think of something that would be cheaper or in more readily available supply in britain post brexit but it's either contaminated preserves, or contaminated knockoff EU protected designation of origin wine.

Shame about Eddie Izzard, I like him but he's not really a socialist is he

He described himself as a radical moderate which pretty much tells you everything Unfortunately he is in deep with the Progress wing but tries to distance himself to appear more neutral, don't fall for it

Remember when Morgan Stanley said Labour were a threat to the economy, and all the papers ran with it but Labour kind of ignored it? Turns out they didn't ignore it. https://twitter.com/jeremycorbyn/status/936323979358322689

jabby posted:Remember when Morgan Stanley said Labour were a threat to the economy, and all the papers ran with it but Labour kind of ignored it? This poo poo is just injecting hope directly into my eyes & ears. I remember that 1st Corbyn leadership campaign. I didn't think he could be Prime Minister because the status quo would be so heavily against him but he'd at least reverse 4 decades of uncorrected rightward drift in our politics. But he's done far more than that in the latter & is absolutely the favourite to win the next general election. I'm pretty chuffed to be wrong to be honest. Although hope is a dangerous drug, it's at least a change from injecting misery between my toes. It is so cool that he's not been sacked and is allowed to continue loving up our diplomacy because the PM is weaker than a Bud Light.
