Finally, we're discussing trade!

Please could you define 'fecking funny to watch', with regards to the NI border problem?

Actually, given that so many people on here say Brexit will wreck the poor, why will you be laughing at them too?

Nope

Like with any project I am sure you have worked on - senior mgmt/exec insist it must be done by date x and there is no more money.

Yet when date x comes and goes suddenly it was not that important and lo there is more money.

Absolutely agree, except you are looking at it from the wrong perspective.

Just like Phase 1, where the UK spent 6 months arguing and then when the deadline was up just agreed to what the EU had been asking for in the first place, we're going to spend the next 12 months with our government dithering.

Then, when the time is up, lo and behold there is more money. From the UK, that is, to pay for more obligations that we'll be signing up to during the transition period.

And then more money for the Norway option, but with no say in the rules.

But you don't think impact assessments are a good idea, so this car crash will probably surprise you when it happens.

No, not with the EU.

18 months after the referendum, and 9 months after Article 50 was triggered, the Cabinet is finally sitting together to discuss what sort of trading relationship we might like to have with the EU.

Isn't this something that should have been agreed before the referendum? Or at the very least, before triggering a 2 year countdown?

Cameron & Osbourne didn't expect to lose, or the referendum would never have happened in the first place.

Ah, so do you only enjoy the suffering of others with regards to Brexit, or all walks of life?

What a thoroughly pleasant individual you must be

Who the **** is suffering because of brexit.

Who the **** is suffering because of brexit.

From my earlier post;
"Actually, given that so many people on here say Brexit will wreck the poor, why will you be laughing at them too? "

Just using the remainer argument against themselves, that's all

Sounds like you expect Brexit to go wrong.

Indeed - he should just accept that European overlords know best and become a good servant.

Oh wait that's exactly why we have Brexit.
