ff #657. It is the likely outcome that is important. It is that, as you say, will make us all wealthier.

To ignore Brexit is imitating a scared ostrich.

There are plenty of posters who will wear out their keyboards with the emotions. Those will never agree amongst themselves.

Get a life.

Pen,

I think the reason Ireland is not panicking about a no deal Brexit is that EU have told them that they won't seek to impose a hard border.

Just shows how the backstop idea is completely empty.

None of the posts here will have the slightest effect on the outcome, so why not post on and research things that will make us all wealthier?

freddie - stop trying to hide from reality.

I would suggest that all those posting about Brexit hold their breath until Brexit is done or we hear that we are to stay in. :)

Morse code is a bit whizzy - more like flag signals and carrier pigeons!

Your post made me smile. ;)

Just read that the army are being readied for mobilisation in the case of a hard Brexit.

Will landing craft filled with BMW Mini's be loaded at Portsmouth so they can put to sea across the Channel and make for the unclogged beaches of Normandy, with short wave digital links set up to keep BBC Online in touch with the outside world, if necessary by morse code, while Theresa May takes to smoking fat cigars and wearing siren suits as she slurps on tumblers of scotch in the bunker beneath the Ministry of Defence.

What does "in panic mode" mean?

H.L. Mencken’s,just shows in those quotes how long the fallacy of governments and so called democracy has been known but unfortunately not been acted upon.And the show goes on.mro.

The back stop is only essential to prevent any acceptable deal and force a new referendum, EU dont believe for one minute that May will be allowed (by parliament) the luxury of no deal.

HARD BREXIT

Former East German construction firms are already anticipating bids for contracts from the Irish Government to build a wall along the border with Northern Ireland, with optional training courses for mine laying, guard dogs and anti-protestant spray painting classes with Professor Pablo O'Banksie sponsored by Ryanair - the airline that pays people less.

Michael O'Leary has said he favours a cashless society which will be achieve by not paying people at all - 'it's as simple as that really'.
Theresa May is supporting his initiative with a different tactic, collapsing the value of the pound until it reaches zero.

In a tweet, #orangeskin, Donald Trump has told the Orange Order he is willing to extend the wall from Tyrone to Texas to stop the waves of illicit milk products souring the single cream market.

But seriously:

If the backstop is so essential to protecting the Good Friday Agreement why are the Irish Government not in panic mode to avoid a hard brexit? Don't they care?

The petition to Remain gained 1.4 million signatures plus 700,000 marching. Politicians couldn't care less what the man in the street thinks, I wouldn't get too excited about this latest petition.

But at the end of the day, they all want to sell to us .. a bit of give and take perhaps?

Indeed Alphorn.

The way these FTAs are talked about you’d think they could be negotiated in weeks on highly beneficial terms for the U.K.

Try years of painful negotiations/compromise on for size.

And if anyone thinks Trump won’t try to screw us over - I’ve got a bridge to sell..

He is very entertaining on HIGNFY when he is baited by Ian Hislop. ;))

I'm very gullible Alp :-(

Why would anything that JRM does or says surprise you?
