Brexit rebellion building in Parliament

[meridian]

The key problem has always been this:

If the EU gave us a good deal there would be a queue around the block to leave the EU, it's not been a great success. The idea is good enough but the execution has not been inspiring and it's caused a lot of serious economic problems in individual member states. It's a neoliberal experiment and it is not as popular in Europe as some people here make out in Europe.

Thus we were always facing a "no deal" exit and the civil service should have been preparing for one from the first day after the referrendum but they did not because they are delusional and incompetant beyond measure, hoped to forge a plan for exit in name only.

It's high time the adults took the helm.

What a load of nonsense.

The only reason the Withdrawal Agreement has taken so long is because of the difficulties surrounding the U.K. border with Ireland and the unique circumstances of the GFA. Any other country is free to leave if they want to, but there doesn’t seem to be a queue.

“No Deal” Brexit was never prepared for in the first 18 months because it was then known as “catastrophic” Brexit and there is/was both no mandate for one, nor any majority in Parliament for one. “Easiest deal in history”, remember? The Civil Service get their orders from the government, so if the DExEU didn’t prepare for no deal, then that’s squarely on the minister responsible.

Incompetent beyond measure is right. That would be the Brexiters in charge. Davis, Fox, Raab, etc.

It predates the transformation of General into a safe space for gammons. One of them will be triggered soon enough and it will be moved.

Poly boy's just smarting because his prediction for the Brexit deal is almost as wrong as his prediction for the last general election.
He's not terribly bright you see, not part of the talent

It's more than that. He is practically flicking your knickers in the playground.

You've got it real bad, girl! Just ask him out and be done with it. At least you'll know one way or another. You might get lucky - maybe he has a gammon fetish.
