We shall probably leave, but the type of Brexit we have will not please the ERG.

Corbyn was talking tonight of solving the backstop problem by staying in the customs union.
Ken Clarke said that a sensible Brexit was to have a political separation but to keep the trading advantages by staying in the customs union.

It looks like we could get Brexit but it will be by staying in the customs union.

That is a direction of travel.
An ideal compromise that the vast majority will support, most leavers and most remainers and most MP's

International tourism accounts for about 11 per cent of Spain’s economy.
More people travel to Spain from the UK than from any other nation.
Are they "dependant"?
Forgive 2015 figures

Judgement day..Pound Sterling rallied against the Euro, U.S. Dollar and other major currencies on Thursday after French President Emmanuel Macron said the Withdrawal Agreement can be amended to allow the UK to leave the European Union with a deal.Gains accelerated in the London afternoon session following comments by German Chancellor Angela Merkel in the Hague in which she suggested stated a solution to the Irish border issue could be found before the October 31 Brexit deadline."We can find a solution to the backstop by October 31...we can work on finding a regime that keeps the Good Friday Agreement and also ensures the integrity of the single market," said Merkel.Macron's suggestion that the backstop can be tweaked is however arguably the more important communication of the day as it would appear to be the first time an EU leader has deviated from the long-held line that the Withdrawal Agreement cannot be reopened. "It is just what Michel Barnier has negotiated can be amended while complying with the integrity of the single market and the two goals I mentioned, then we can find a solution," Macron said during a visit by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to Paris.The suggestion from Macron is Barnier can find a solution "without totally reshuffling the Withdrawal Agreement"."We should all together be able to find something smart within 30 days on both sides if there is goodwill on both sides and I believe there is," said Macron.Macron also repeated the suggestion made by Germany's Angela Merkel the day prior that a solution to the Irish border must be found in 30 days, giving rise to fresh hopes that a Brexit deal can yet be clinched by the UK and EU. "We will not find a new Withdrawal Agreement within 30 days that will be very different from the existing one."

Lippy.. they'll be processed .

[alphorn] 22/8/2019 19:11

Coming from you Poika that means zero.

Your posts on Sainsbury etc can be worth reading - is that a different Poika?

[poikka] 22/8/2019 19:04

Alphorn - 20 Brexit related posts today, and you have the nerve to write:

"They try hard on this thread!

ROFLMAO"

I've said it before and I'll say it again - you have zero credibility.

Alphorn I do not reply to complex questions with yes/no answers.
You are being condescending again"

Remoaners hav a habit of being condescending.
Amusingly many of them are either still working, or expats in Europe! Funny that.

"Lord Owen: if the undemocratic assault on Brexit by MPs were to succeed, the forces unleashed would "smash the present political system"

Indeed.
Anyone who thinks a democratic vote can be overturned absent consequences is naive in the extreme.

"retired and do not contribute"

They try hard on this thread!

ROFLMAO

[sentimentrules] 22/8/2019 18:45

Its why Merkel let in a million. Had same issue. Wasn't an act of kindness. Germany has one of the most aging pop in the eu. Needs workers

[careful] 22/8/2019 18:44

You seem to miss an important point.
There were many in this country who thought that we needed these mostly young immigrants.

We have a demographic problem.
Too many retired old people who are retired and do not contribute.
We need a young hard working workforce who will do the important tasks and lower paid Jobe that our own young think they are above.

The uk has lost its traditional working class.
People who work hard doing essential work for modest pay.

So we have to import them.
They run care homes, the NHS, retail, hotels, Mike Ashleys Empire and keep costs down whilst working hard.

many business people know this, Nicola Sturgeon thinks the Scottish Economy will struggle without freedom of movement, they depend upon it.
Blair, Brown, Cameron and others know we need it, but it is politically unpopular so they lie about it.

Farage knows how to press the buttons and wind up his old working class admirers.

[sentimentrules] 22/8/2019 18:37

Farage.. .armed on the gates...no dilution possible

[mr.elbee] 22/8/2019 18:36

Farage is very on the case.. Listen to LBC now
