Parliamentary sovereignty

[Whorty]

However it does leave us as a rule taker until 2030, and that includes any new rules and regs the EU dreams up.

We did tell you this would be the case, and you chose to ignore us. Oh well, we are where we are

[Mordac]

Blair has now said the deal won’t work.

To me, that’s like an endorsement, it’s going to work!

JRM, BoJo, Blair and Farage all in agreement? That must challenge the faith of Wailers

Blair? The one who didn't even give us the chance to tell him to sod off via the ballot box? If he even mentions the word "democracy" I'll make sure he chokes on my puke.

Sorry EU-based chaps, it looks like you’ll be restricted to working permits in a country rather than freedom across borders.

Which is how it should have been in the first place.

When I was working in NL it took six to nine months to get a work permit for non-EU citizens. So if there are IT vacancies in Europe and Brits need a work permit, obviously the EU client will not choose Brits.

Which is how it should have been in the first place.

Why?

It seems a bit shortsighted to me. Our contracting colleagues are economic units, earning income, paying taxes, spending money in local economies.

Add on top of that the jobbing musicians travelling Europe, the working-in-a-bar backpacker, etc. All you’ve done is restricted opportunities for Brits.

There will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth

And we go live to BB post March 2019.

What you have to remember is that mordac and the rest are part of the group that will just say "I had no intention of working in Europe so it means nothing to me this freedom of movement" which is fine but it shows a selfishness in themselves in that they've now stopped others and future generations from doing this. It pretty much shows what a lot of Brexit was about, selfishness and not giving a damn about others

[WTFH]

Just listened to Sammy Wilson, a DUP spokesman, who has not yet seen the agreement, but has said that it is the equivalent of an IRA punishment beating.
...not at all inflammatory...

He did, in 2001 and in 2005. We didn't.

NL only wants people who 'speak fluent dutch' since 2008, unlike the rest of the EU <apart from belgium, who want dutch, french and english, pay peanuts, and take 60% in tax and SI contrributions>

[Old Greg]

No point interrupting a gammon's apoplexy.
