We should have been long shot of the EU 2 years back.
So I for one just want it done not dragged on another 2 years

Minny, this board is great and informative, and then you turn up. I have no idea what contribution you think you make here, but from my pov your talk of 'gammons' this and gammons that is just so tedious and ruins an otherwise great discussion and great board.

This Johnson government is taking the country out of the world's biggest and most successful peace project. I thought that one of the first duties of any government towards its citizens was to assure their physical safety and security. Choosing to leave a peace project amounts to a diminution of the country's safety and security. Dragging the country out of the EU is, therefore, tantamount to a dereliction of the first and foremost responsibility of any government. IMHO, it needs to be repeated, ad nauseum and ad infinitum, that this Johnson government is willfully engaging in the dereliction of its primary duty.

They'll look back in a couple of years and think Brexit was really a good thing when they look across the water at the chaos in the EU.



Chaos that results in lower death rates than Brexiter cohesion!

ROFLMAO!




Brexiters are an impotent and pathetic bunch.

URSULA VON DER LEYEN,"All Europe must apologise to italy....."Really? How arrogant is that. Brussels can't even take responsibility for their personal mistakes.

[y1phr1] 16/4/2020 15:04

Totally agree

[maxk] 16/4/2020 14:53

Alp.

This is a clear statement, no room for obfuscation.

Closes off all avenues of reversal.....Finis! Clear enough for business..no?

How many people might you have infected with whatever it was?

[patientcapital] 16/4/2020 14:40

Pneumonia isn't such a bad way to die. "The old man's friend", as it was known, results in asphyxiation which is relatively painless.

Sounds like it could have been. Are you fit? If so your body could have fought it off.

max - the Downing Street cat?

"We will not ask to extend the transition. And, if the EU asks, we will say no. Extending the transition would simply prolong the negotiations, prolong business uncertainty, and delay the moment of control of our borders. It would also keep us bound by EU legislation at a point when we need legislative and economic flexibility to manage the UK response to the coronavirus pandemic".

So the cat's logic is that a No Deal shortens the business uncertainty.

It would be amusing if not so serious.

The markets have ignored it as they should - Total nuts.

When are we supposed to see Brexit benefits and this utopia which was promised?


Our borders have been as loose as a Brexiter's bladder during this COVID stuff.

ROFLMAO!

[minerve 2] 16/4/2020 14:11

So we are having to fly fruit pickers in.


Great move gammon Brexiters.




You couldn't make a more stupid society if you tried.

Live Politics latest news: No 10 rejects extending Brexit transition period, saying it would 'prolong' uncertainty

Downing Street has rejected calls to extend the Brexit transition period, saying to do so would "prolong business uncertainty".

It follows warnings from the head of the International Monetary Fund Kristalina Georgieva, who urged both sides to not make a difficult time "any tougher".

The Prime Minister's Official Spokesman said: "We will not ask to extend the transition. And, if the EU asks, we will say no.

"Extending the transition would simply prolong the negotiations, prolong business uncertainty, and delay the moment of control of our borders.

"It would also keep us bound by EU legislation at a point when we need legislative and economic flexibility to manage the UK response to the coronavirus pandemic."...
