Brexit Briefing Paper No. 4

[darmstadt]

Written Evidence last month to the Transport Select Committee's "Freight and Brexit" Inquiry

[Mordac]

And now we know why.
From today's Sunday Times (front page of the Business & Money Section)

"The European Aviation Safety Agency (AESA) is currently banned by the European Commission from holding emergency talks with [the CAA] to make contingency plans - or even discuss the issue - in the event of "no deal"

. (Slightly paraphrased).

At least we know what we're dealing with. A bunch of petty children who can't bear to see their glorious little gravy train derailed for a moment by such minor issues as democracy (a word they only spit out through gritted teeth, and only when the cameras demand). They have, by stealth and hitherto unquestioned treaties acquired the power to close down the airspace of any nation that displeases them. And nobody can discuss it with the relevant authorities without their permission. Remind you of anyone? If you're thinking of Stalin, Hitler and a host of wannabee rulers of Europe, most of which are consigned to the forgotten pages of history, you'd be on the right lines. And this, ladies and gents, is why we have to get the hell out of the EU, there is no price too great. Hell truly hath no fury like a bureaucrat scorned, indeed.
Any organisation which would willingly send our economy back to the age of sail (and only because they hadn't thought to legislate against that form of transport) should be told in no uncertain terms to f**k right off.

That'll be JRM and the ERG then.

But I guess you mean the EU. Telling them to f**k right off will achieve what, exactly? A hard brexit leading to the consequences outlined?

The sad thing is all the things we said about how if there was a brexit vote the EU would act like spoiled children and do everything in their power to derail any form of intelligent discussion - because they had to make it look like leaving the EU is going to send a country back to the dark ages otherwise many other countries will leave.

And look it's coming true.

And yet you voted for it anyway. It'll be glorious. "Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward,..."

Who is this Dr. Andrew Watt and why should we give weight to what he has written?

Yes indeed - I cannot believe you said that - you seem to imply that we should have listened to the spoiled twats and not done brexit to make life easier for them.

I can see a fookin war coming.

Hark at the whining childish Brexiter twats.
All treaties have to be agreed by all countries including Britain.

2 years ago it was all about how we hold all the cards and according to Fox how it would be the "easiest deal in history".
The EU are doing what we would do in their position - playing all their cards in a negotiation - in this case using a treaty that was agreed by us.
The only childish actors are Brexiters who want to keep the bits of the EU that they want and ignore the others.
I blame the UK education system - apart from the higher end where it's excellent, it really has churned out a bunch of entitled, illogical, innumerate numpties.

How come we are going to the dark ages? I thought we hold all the cards and we are headed to the golden age of free trade with the whole world and 0 unwanted immigration and no pesky EU mandated human rights protections and unicorns and stuff...
